Is this the face of the NBA?

Well... Turnip is Hispanic so maybe he didnt intend for this whole thing to become a prejudice thing but it sure did.

Hispanic? Where the fuck did you come up with that?
I'm a white 52 year old Jewish American.

he's been a bit LITTLE on the tolerance side lately. it's making him a bit SHORT these days...

Didn't say it was a bad thing, it's just an incorrect thing.

Bad temper because I said fuck?
I swear like a long shoreman. Just couldn't do it on CBS.
One of the big perks here.

Anyway, I didn't call you a fucking moron, I just said fuck.

As far as the Heat, losing, believe what ever you want.
I would have been pissed/upset/disappointed for a night, maybe a day or 2,IDK because they won, but win or lose when the seaons over I move on.

That might be the reason we often disagree on history and past championships, etc... Truth is, I REALLY don't care.
I love the ride while it is happening but the past becomes the past.
I was given after the '06 season the championship DVD.
Never have even broke the seal to watch it.
Who would waste the time? I know how it ends.

LOL, Red, you should be ashamed...

I agree man... Sports is fun but it shouldnt be our lives. We have families and other real life issues that are way more important than the stupid heat losing to the Spurs for example.

But you cant deny its bragging rights against your friends when it happens..

Im still trying to find out what makes someone look like a thug. I'll wait.

1. Dude looks like he doesn't shower during his weekly routine.

2. Dude's hair looks natty and crappy.

3. Dude acts like he wants to steal something. Dude looks like he wants to steal something.

4. Dude acts like a rough dirtbag in public.

5. Dude is your basic hodge-podge dirtbag asshole.

That is what makes someone LOOK like a thug.
What actually makes a person a thug is, according to Merriam-Webster:

thug

noun \ˈthəg\





Definition of THUG

: a brutal ruffian or assassin : gangster, tough

 

[geneh_33]

According to that definition Putin is a thug.

Call me naive, but I don't even know what hammer was referring to about your post. Still don't, so couldn't be about trying to get you (or anyone) banned.

Heat lose to the Spurs? Could happen. I agree.
Here's my breakdown: Heat start 2-0, it's over.
Spurs start 2-0, obviously it's over.

Now, if the Heat come back to Miami up 3-2, its over.
If they come back down 3-2, I say 50/50.
I think it will be hell to beat us in an elimination game at home.
I know the Mavs did it but that was then and this is now.
Remember, James is 50x the player (ask him) now then he was then.

Bragging right are fun, even with strangers ---but at the end of the day it means NOTHING.

Like I have told you guys many times, I have always liked the Lakers.
The fun of them struggling was only because of you guys.
I still would love to see that Kobe/James Finals, I just don't see it happening.

Also make the tickets worth twice as much as the Spurs would bring

Lol, those are the reasons? Please tell me you are playing. Because someone look like they stink? How in the hell did you come up with that conclusion anyway? He's a thug because you dont like his hair style? Act like a prick in public? That's 80% of celebs.

Let me ask you a question, do Steve Nash look like a thug to you?

Bottom line is that there is the way things should be and the way things are!!

I think that we all pretty much agree on how things should be!!

However, the way things are and a business responds to that, can make all the difference in the world in whether or not that business is successful!!

If I'm going to get a new tattoo (I have one small one on my right bicep that is a representation of my kids), I'm not going to go looking for a tattoo parlor where everyone is dressed in 3 piece suits (if such a tattoo parlor even exists). I am going to be looking for a place where everyone in there is tatted up with work that looks good!!

By the same token, if I am looking to invest a large sum of money, I am going to go to the place with the guys in the 3 piece suit!!

In both cases, I could end up being completely wrong and end up with a crappy looking tattoo and all of my money stolen!!

However, I'd wager that would be much more likely if I reversed that selection process!!

i keep saying it's all about an image. and fair or UNfair it's the way of the world...

I agree TF12. Thats why im not arguing the business part because with business, you go on how things are and not how it should be. Thats just part of business.

 

[shitsho]

1. Dude looks like he doesn't shower during his weekly routine.

How can you tell he looks like he doesn't shower? All Basketball players sweat.

2. Dude's hair looks natty and crappy.

How do you determine if his hair is natty or crappy? Personal bias?

3. Dude acts like he wants to steal something. Dude looks like he wants to steal something.

How do you act or look like you want to steal something?

4. Dude acts like a rough dirtbag in public.

I assume you mean he is starting fights everywhere he goes?

5. Dude is your basic hodge-podge dirtbag asshole.

How do you know this if you don't know him personally?

Agree and aside from business, I really don't care what a person looks like!! Either they are someone that I can get along with or they aren't and it has nothing to do with how they look!!

If my kids came to me and tallked about wanting to get tattoos that can't be covered up (hands, face, neck, etc.) I would advise them against it because I know that right or wrong, it will hinder their employment opportunities!!

 

[geneh_33]

You guys are nitpicking. The dude looks like a thug. End of story.
