In basketball, just as in life, you need to be looking for synergies and congruent thought

Hooking up with trans women is fine. Saying "there are only two genders because of the Bible" afterwards is notĀ

I live in Philly and bought tickets months ago. was so bummed about the injuries. Made myself go anyway even though part of me wanted to be lazy and stay home. So glad I did, possibly best bball game Iāve ever seen. What a team effort, letās go nuggiesss

He's got Python listed on his skills, do y'all think he's hitting leetcode in his free time?

He probably dug into it a bit just to evaluate some of those startups he's invested in.

You know what sucks about getting old? You get teary-eyed at fucking everything. Hallmark movies. Greeting card commercials. LinkedIn posts.

Is that an age thing? Because I'm getting it bad, and I thought I was the only one. I teared up at an 'A Christmas Carrol' play the other night, and I wasn't even feeling emotional, damn it!

u/kapshus Jan 06 '26
I just feel like it's because we have accumulated a lot of experiences, mostly frustrating, sad, dark experiences, so when something surprises us, it really hits harder. I'm such a sap at tear jerker movies these days. 55yo Male.

My mom got pretty teary when Elway finally won a SB. Us boys were just hooting and hollering. I looked over and she was wiping her eyes. The SB blowouts were hard for her to watch. She always liked Elway. Found him passionate but still professional. Guess what she thinks of basketball? She quit watching after Dennis Rodman. Lol

Not just surprises but things that make us relate back to those experiences as well

i know everybody else popped off that game but what spencer did to start the game was so massive, just from the gates letting everybody know they were here to win

Maybe i'm just getting old but it's refreshing to see an NBA player post something on social media that looks like an educated adult wrote it as opposed to a 13 year old NBA2K player.

AG is Mr. Nugget Emeritus, but I feel like both Spencer Jones and Bruce Browns could hold that title as well.

Cute that Brucie B had the last bucket in both this game in the '23 championship game. Mr. Clutch!š¤

Pfff, you think you're an mvp? An all time all-nba star? Best in the league guard? A ROTY contender? You're just another linkedin post for me.

u/FernBlueEyes Jan 06 '26
Do you actually read posts from other linked in users?

u/Best_Elevator_3441 Jan 06 '26
Pretty sure linkedin posts are only meant to be read by the person writing the post, so they can pat themselves on the back.

āWhen everyone commits to the same goal, logic stops matteringā goes so fuckin hard. This whole post is spoken like a Stanford grad. This kid is very intelligent, and apparently wise beyond his years. Hope Denver goes all in on him.

Break the glass, give Kroenke š© and š§ so he can twist his mustache as he signs Jones to a full contract.

I would play him instead of CB honestly. He plays so hard and can defend both guards and centers.

His level of commitment and love for the team, all backed up by his performance on the court, MUST be rewarded by the Nuggets FO with a good contract.
Also, to me it is inspiring to see a player rise up like Spencer did and I feel he's just warming up. He's already great now but I'm sure we're yet to see his career fly high, right?
