Social WR Lounge v 233, I Did Warn You This Was Coming

[Chillin' Nuts]

@Chillin' Nuts Going okay. Just strumming along on my old Johnson. Just mastered the Free Bird solo, acoustic redux

Cool. Sometimes I strum along on my old Johnson when the wife is at work, not as much as when I was younger.

So about guitar though, are you learning by ear, or do you read music or tablature? Technique exercises are beneficial if not necessary but learning as many songs as you can is more rewarding I think. I'll always browse the songbook section when I'm hanging out at Guitar Center or something to see if something strikes me. Sometimes I'll pick up something outside of my stylistic preference and it will send my creativity off in a cool direction. It also helps when you start writing your own songs to have a well of knowledge to draw from. Tip of the hat to ya, keep it up.

Garnett had spent over a decade with a broke-dick franchise before leaving.

lol

I'll still say Hakeem is the most underrated player you'll see

Cool..
The founders was Nazis though.

One of them supported making the footwear and the other brother didn't and that's ONE of the reasons they split and puma was birthed in the process which is why I wear pumas

Where is he in your all-time list of Centers? I didn't see Wilt or Bill, and missed Kareem's prime. Of course I'm partial to Shaq, but couldn't really argue someone taking Hakeem. Don't think there's much of a case to put him ahead of the other three. He's surely ahead of Robinson and Ewing.

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

@Trotsky and for Polish obviously.
Honestly are Kennedy and Jordan worse than Cruz, Graham, Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio.

I get where you’re coming from but these guys are all interchangeable. They’re all awful. Some worse than others I guess. I can’t stomach Ron Johnson.

Then you have Guys like Louie Gohmert. Does it really get much worse than Louie?

I think those guys actually believe in Conservativism to some extent.

Kennedy campaigned for fucking Kerry in 2004 lol

I don’t believe for one second Ron Johnson believes in anything but money and getting elected.

I see what you’re saying though.

I have it:

Kareem
Wilt
Hakeem
Shaq
Russell

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Hakeem is better than Shaq because of his defense. Am I completely wrong in saying that.

Moses is the most underrated for me. But I'm with you on Hakeem.... if I was starting a team from scratch and could draft anybody from anytime I'd pick Hakeem over Jordan.

GOAT tier
Jordan
Hakeem
Kareem
LeBron
Wilt
Magic
Bird
Shaq

I think they are about as close as you can get

 

[Deleted member 405583]

We're talking sneakers, not wrestling shoes

100% truth

 

[Deleted member 405583]

Just get me my goddamn $1400 first.

It got sent to my house

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Maybe offensively but on D I don’t think they’re that close.


Hakeem was better from the outside too. I can’t hate on shaq though because he was so physically dominant but his “skills” weren’t as good as Hakeems. I don’t know how you would add value to that metric when comparing the two because like i said above, shaq was so dominant. Kinda pulling at straws maybe

 

[LazaRRus]

Not at all. He's better offensively as well.

uh, apparently not.
thanks, Biden.

Kareem

Your list as as good as any. Kareem's three NCAA titles go under the radar.

It's tough between Hakeem and Shaq. But since defense wins championships, you're not wrong. But damn, prime Shaq just punished teams physically.

The thing with Shaq is coasted during the regular season as absurd as that sounds.

In the playoffs the true beast was unleashed. Look at his rebounding discrepancy between the regular season and playoffs

 

[Deleted member 579584]

John stockton is still one of the best to ever play. Karl Malone was better then Shaq too.

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Not at all. He's better offensively as well.

He was more versatile on offense but was he really better? Shaq was unguardable and he played in the golden era of big men
