Suffering is the human condition, the more life you have experienced the more you have suffered. So would say this is accurate... sad but true.

I am sure this is tounge in cheek, but if you live long enough, you travel enough and see the world you will see suffering and experience loss, it isn't something you can really insulate yourself from, it comes with the territory of a life well lived . Sports is a part of that, Minnesota knows better than most, but Wisconsin has higher suicide rates for a reason...

If I want the real life suffering, I go to CNN, ABC, and Reuters. If I want delusional fantasy I hit Fox and OAN. This is realgm, so everything is going to have a basketball and fantasy basketball spin to it. I am not a real GM but did stay in a Holiday Inn last week.

If you are taking news it is all delusional fantasy, very little real about it, any of it... it is the equivalent of a choose your path adventure...real life is cold and will slap you across the face when you least expect it, there is no excape sheer brutally of cold hard facts and you don't get them from the news anymore. The best we have are ever evolving conversations aimed at truth seeking, yet so many are unwilling to participate because they don't like what they hear so they go places that lie to them in an attempt to ease discomfort, in the end this creates even more suffering. Case in point is how every year Wisconsin media convinces Packer fans they are going to win it all when they can't even win a division.

@minimus had a great comeback to my promise land reference in a good way. Let's not spinal this conversation into war in Ukraine suffering and how Putin is controlling the NBA via North Korea and how they put Dennis Rodman in as next Commissioner ( yes, I do watch ONA :D ).

:roll:

I twice write a long set up to slam the Packers because you mentioned them and you keep wanting to make things political. It was a joke, a serious social commentary, to hide the incoming punchline. Not my intention, not my desire to fight the battle over which lies are best. I don't think we should like any of them. Happy 4th!

There is a difference between a political joke and being political. I made a joke. I am not debating with you. It's not even about you. Not everything is a debate. It seems like everything with you drifts into personal territory.

Ant is being positioned to be one of the bigger faces of the league.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37966379/las-vegas-host-final-four-nba-new-season-tournament-sources-say

recent No. 1 overall picks Victor Wembanyama, Paolo Banchero and Cade Cunningham and All-Stars Anthony Edwards and Trae Young will be part of the broadcast.

I feel like a lot of the older heads in the league probably aren't in favor of the tournament, which is why they're using the next generation to promote it. Trae Young is the oldest at 24...

Also, funny that ESPN forgot Edwards was a No. 1 pick too....

Don't get started on who likes the "pointless" tournament :D . We already have an NBA playoff tournament. Where as Premier League does have a final. We could do a best in each league tournament - GLeague champ, Euro League champ, college champ play ( just kidding, please don't take this idea seriously).

Eh. I think All-Star trumps draft position.
