NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[The Q]

Yeah, lost my brother in 2018 to alcohol poisoning that he was hiding far too well. Not a public drunk, was self-medicating with alcohol (persistent nerve pain in his feet and legs) and not eating. When I found him we thought it was due to a fall, but it wasn't. Tough to deal with something like that, as beyond the emotional loss you tend to blame yourself for not seeing it and helping more (or at least I did/do). It's been long enough to numb and forget most of the time, but family gatherings like Easter bring those memories back.

That's all I have to say about that, can't be emotional at work...

fuck man

that really sucks

I'm sorry

 

[The Q]

Lost another damn friend today. This time was suicide. At least I assume so. Nothing else makes sense.

Shit is so pointless. Just tears apart the people left behind.

i'm sorry about this

it's really sad to think about things are so bad for these people they think it's their only way out

And most people would just roll by it but not McAfee lol

That was a tough one to ignore, lol.

More Trainwreck, less Space Jam lol.

His acting on the court when somebody brushes him is unreal. At some point I would think he would stop it but nope

 

[Jordan23]

I am thinking this is also a possibility here. He lost his wife like 10 years ago (she basically drank herself to death) and he.goes through bouts where he basically drinks a lot or not at all.

But dude was in great shape and actually fought MMA a few years back but still kept up on jogging etc so it isn't highly unlikely it was anything health. Thus my deduction it was suicide.

He never dated (that i saw) after her and he's a pretty good looking dude. He just kept mourning her. But he didn't seem depressed persay

I'm sorry to hear that about your brother. That sucks man. That pain never goes away

Sorry about your loss man. I just had a friend whose wife just committed suicide too. Crappy deal

LOL. He gets fewer calls than most players in the league. It's the Shaq effect, too big and strong.

Everybody watching last night. HUGE number

Fuck, that sucks. Funny thing about it is a lotta the time you don't even see it coming. Lotta suicide victims seem happy as a clam before they off themselves...

Damn. I thought Dick Weiss was dead.

[DJ Fieri]

That would make a lot of sense.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Enfield left USC for SMU so not surprised.

I bet a bunch of USC players enter the portal.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Trent Perry decommitted from USC after hearing about Enfield leaving.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

That would make a lot of sense.

Although They just got Meechie back

That should speak volumes about Holtmann.

Meechie was South Carolinas leading scorer.

That might make OSU less likely. But would still be great to add Bronny

 

[Jordan23]

LOL. He gets fewer calls than most players in the league. It's the Shaq effect, too big and strong.

He also uses his size to bulldoze so it goes both ways.

Exactly. You don’t even see it
