NBA (Basketball)
-
This has inspired a new term for my vocabulary: gaud-awful.
Usually when Canada has a chance to show Americans the classy way to do things they don't wind up out-tackying the good ole USA, which, to their credit, is no mean feat.
-
You want elegant I refer you to this- subtle and understated-
For effortless tacky it's American all the way. All others can only aspire to greatness.

One of these sports teams needs to hire @Warner to design their championship ring. He'd someone manage to make it over the top while avoiding the gaudiness of the above.

RIP Kobe Bryant. Very sad.
-
terrible news to wake up to. i saw that obama and the rest were tweeting about kobe and i was like 'huh. what's going on'. then i clicked more news and realised what had happened..
tbh, still in disbelief and shocked. i never watched the NBA but even then you know kobe was the GOAT.. -
Very sad. Kobe had strong links to the soccer world as he was a huge fan of the sport…. legit fan not just a token celebrity fan. I believe he lived in Italy for a number of years when he was younger when his dad played professional basketball there which is where he picked up his love for soccer. I also believe he was fluent in Italian.
Sad loss for the sports world for sure.

Also tragic for the loss of his 13 year old daughter in the crash and all the other members on board as well. Being a girl dad myself this makes it hit a little closer to home for some reason.

I am absolutely thrilled with the Nuggets. Love the team and so happy they finally broke through for the franchise and the city/state/region.
I don’t see why they can’t do this again, hopefully more than once (as long as we have Jokić)!

We own the Lakers ever since they awoke a sleeping giant in the bubble series in 2020. From the WCF sweep last year, we are at 10 straight wins for the Nuggets against them at this point (11 if you go back into the regular season). They haven’t beaten us since December of 2022. Couldn’t ask for a better first round draw, just as the Avs couldn’t ask for a tougher first round draw than the Jets.
I went to game one of the WCF last year and before you knew it Jokic had 12 boards in the first period. Lakers stormed back but Nuggets eked it out. Game 2 of this season’s series seemed like the Lakers’ best shot at avoiding the broom but we will see.
At this point the Nuggets are living rent free in the Lakers’ heads.
Think it, be it.

Do not need to tell anyone in Denver this but you guys have something truly special in Jokic.
Love me some Laker woe’s but as a Celtics fan, the Heat have been living rent free in our heads for the past couple years.
That would be more than
