Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2025-26

Stockton seems brain dead on most topics these days.

I'm not looking to him for advice on communicable diseases, but on games played in the NBA? He's earned the right to voice an opinion.

Old folks need to keep quiet about the younger generation. Beyond tired of complaining boomers.

Old folk here. You can be "tired of the complaining boomers" but they/we are not wrong.. This generation has more "complex" problems than mine but I find the most complaining comes from THIS generation, and by a significant margin.

Playing the which generation is better game is silly but you aren't going to win that one. Maybe if the boomers hadn't done such a thorough job of wrecking the planet, dismantling public institutions, lowering educational standards, supercharging corporate greed, fueling the rise of extremism, rolling civil liberties and locking younger generations out of home ownership the younger folk wouldn't have so much to complain about ? Maybe. So yeah miss me with that we aren't wrong shtick. I'm still searching for something you did right (and by you I mean your generation not you specifically obviously).

Almost everything you mention are more wordly problems and many of those Have been created long before the so called boomer generation. Corporate greed industrial revolution and Poor educational standards were in play before the Is 20th century.. Most of the world's progress, From civil rights to women's rights to educational rights, To working rights, Human rights in general were made during our generation..

But aside from all of that my reference wasn't even to that but rather the character issues or should I say flaws that this generation clearly has.. Hard work, perseverance ' Selflessness, Family values, respect, honor, sacrifice , emotional control, community. And things of that nature. Are way down.. But instead we have a generathen that would rather actually witness a child drowning, Record on their video platform, Stand by and laugh and share the videos then actually getting in and helping. This generation more than any I have ever seen has a sense of entitlement, vanity carelessness, selfishness amongst many bother Imoral items I can not even say..

And all of this for you to somehow insinuate that my generation is the one to "Fuel extremism" is Laughable.. That is a symptom of this current generation. Not ours..

And that of course is typical of this generation, Instead of accepting personal responsibility, Just blame someone or something else

I can't believe I even replied to this. This is certainly one category I do not have the time or energy To waste my time with

Edit.. Can't believe I failed to mention that we should perhaps ask the teachers of this fine generation now and the difference between these students to decades past.. I would Be shocked if they had glorious things to say about this generation in comparison to The previous generations

I'm not going to respond to the main content of your post because I'll probably get a ban for discussing politics. I'll just highlight two of your own sentences. I invite you to read them back to back.

This teacher sees lots of great things in his students every day and every year. I and my colleagues ask significantly less of our current students than in previous decades in terms of quantity of work produced. It doesn't help to tell them that. I still focus on quality of engagement, interaction, and work -- and the balancing factor is that on average they are living more than their average predecessors did with an awareness that the world is on fire and we are all doomed. They still give me optimism about the future.

Appreciate your insight. Would comment further, but this is the Around the NBA thread, so I will stay away from Hijacking any further.

By the way Shak, I don't think anybody answered your initial question about which WNBA teams/players to follow but there's still time to get on board the Dominique Malonga hype train. There's a lot to like there, especially for a Wemby fan.

Edit: already liking what I’m seeing! Only 19? Okay okay!!

[Shak_Celts]

Oh, I’m mad mad, I keep yelling for fouls and none are coming!!! Are fouls different? I mean I have watched games, but this is ridiculous! Maybe it’s because I’m invested!

[Shak_Celts]

Some trouble D

IMHO Legler and Burke are both decent color analysts-- not on a level with someone like Hubie Brown, but decent.

Eurobasket cameramen filming the French coach draw up the first play of the game to have drive Coulibaly drive at Doncic then having the play unfold exactly as it was drawn up and result in an and one layup due to a lazy reach in by Luka was top tier cinema.

France now 2-0. Alex Sarr with some great defense.
