A not-so-spectacular team can win too. The circumstances just have to be right. This is one of those. Hate on them, but not too much. ![]() They don't take us down with Curry playing. I don't know if anyone would disagree with that. I thought we could win it all until Curry went down. If Ant and those guys are any serious, they would realize this could be the easiest run to a championship and do well to make that a reality. Calm down they still have one more chance to get one game away from home. Skrrrrrrr: 1 Like 1 Share |

I agree. I am also a culprit. It started with, oh he's better than AD(I believe that point aged well) to a top 20 conversation. And you may be correct that we are being too harsh on the man. Since 2021, this is the first time he has lost in the first round and played in all games. A40: 1 Like |

This is not good ooo. You and I apply the hammer when it comes to Le(4-6)bron. It's about time we start doing the same to our Kin. He's no longer a kid in this league. A40: |

Wonderful. If you can point to us any of Lebron's final losses for which he was significantly responsible, this goes away. I promise. This is just as boring and cliche as you constantly downplaying the strength of Lebron's teams. Waiting for that ission.

It has become first nature for una to find excuses. I don't even think you are doing this intentionally. You have Lebron and Luka with a decent ing cast. We are all definitely on the same level. As usual Le(4-6) fans. steady986: 1 Like 1 Share |

Oh far from it. Nice try though. I just don't a time when Lebron thought his team could win at less than full capacity. I mean the plan is to always have an excuse ready, isn't it? ![]() steady986: 4 Likes 1 Share |

LeBron said this himself. Are you ok? Do you realize that Lebron is a defendant here? steady986: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Le(4-6)fans dey too emotional and too get strong head. A 55th pick is an NBA player if he is in the NBA. Tell us what Stephen A criticized Bronny for. Stating his stats again is not criticism. While you try to gather that, show me which other late pick had Lebron James as their father. Ofcourse the context was his father. His father forced him into the NBA by hook or crook. Any record to help his case matters, including creating the first Father-and-son-with-an-NBA-contract narrative. Another feather on his 'longevity' cap. Man played long enough to see his Son drafted. bla bla bla steady986: 2 Likes |

@ greypencils, did you touch a live wire or sth? Do you need a second shock to reboot? Your boy Iverson is so efficient that Curry at the 3 is just as efficient. Do you even know what this means? |

No need for explanation. Anybody wey get strong heart make dem continue to craze on top this team. I will not become hypertensive because of one team. At least they are racking up wins this season, which I think they could have done last season. Many of their games were close. Na so so so up and down. Me just dey wait for playoffs. And abeg leave Skrrrrrrr, make him continue to hype this team. Na so him dey do every year. Him heart strong well well. You need those kind people for your corner. greypencils: |

Sorry for the late reply. If your definition of tribalism in this context is related to "a tendency to lean towards one player or another based on their tribe in Nigeria" then I would say I don't any of your opinions that fit this description. Of course, there's the long-standing sentiment that you lean toward English-born players. This sentiment is fair though, as there's history to back it up. It is also not an unreasonable bias on your part if you currently reside in the UK or have done so. I mean anyone would be more aware of their immediate environment. There are other reasons I think you have been doing this though. However, I maintain that tribalism is not a bad thing, and shouldn't be painted as such, but I get the irony it creates in the Nigerian context. komekn: |

Sorry, but no statement is more wrong. If you cannot do much of what you are getting, it's within reason to believe you wouldn't be any different with 100%. If they can break away the same leaders would still be leading. You made some factual statements, but your conclusions are at best interesting, and not necessarily well thought out. Delta has to share its resources with other parasitic states. That's correct. But an important question would be do you get anything in the meantime, relative to those parasites? What have you done with what you have retained/received via allocation? This is not to say that the Delta region should be denied the entirety of the revenue from oil, No. You cannot take most of what's mine because you think I can't manage the portion I am getting—such arrogance. I the idea that every region should be allowed to manage its resources. But arguing that Akwa Ibom is not as developed as Qatar for example because it's not getting all the revenue from its oil is what's a problem, based on evidence. Are white institutions working against us? Absolutely. The world's market economy is such that, one country's continuous search for economic prosperity is ruining the economic prosperity of another. You don't even have to want to ruin another country. As long as you pursue economic prosperity another country would be diminishing in the direction of ruin.(Note, the use of direction, not that you are at the point of ruin). The activities of economic prosperity would force that imbalance. It is you who has to decide that, hell no, any other country but me can carry that burden. Were some African leaders with a ion for uplifting their respective countries Murdered? O yes. But what makes you think that's unique to us? Other countries that are currently at least fairly prosperous must have had that too. Do you think, during the Chinese opium crisis, and in the lead-up to the wars, some Chinese leaders looking to quash the opium problem were not murdered? Despite this, they kept at it. And once the opportunity for quantum economic jumps opened- for example, the US moving their manufacturing to China- they took it. Given the heavily capitalistic nature of the American economy, the US manufacturing industries were looking to extract more profit from the sale of their products. These pockets of opportunities open up and the question is can you see it? China for example is now exploring as others once did to them. They are in the driver's seat now. Are our African countries trying to exploit the opportunities opening up? The point is whatever harsh realities we believe we are being dealt, others have been dealt the same, and some of them eventually prospered. codemaniacs: |

Sorry, but this is quite naive a statement to make. "Men without no bias". Is there any such man? You can say, oh of the group we have here who has the least bias? and you may even have to state the biases that are relevant to such a selection. For example, are you strictly referring to opinions on player selection? as in which players are worthy of selection? Are you also including their opinions on Nigerian politics at large? How would you even be able to properly judge these? What are the parameters, and what are the weights? I mean, if I am Yoruba and I don't Nwakali for example, there's no way to be sure that my lack of for his invitation is not in part due to my ethnicity as a Yoruba. I could even point out all his flaws as a player and that doesn't still remove me from ethnic bias. And if you even say you, oh this so so person is the most detribalized, at least as far as we know here, on what basis are you making such judgements? Are you sure you are properly judging their actions? Marjoribanks: |
