The Rockets had an special announcement when Alexander put the team up for sale. I wonder if we're doing something similar or this is something less monumental.


Prokhorov just went on Stephen Colbert and repped the Nets super heavy. He owns Barclays, Nassau Colloseum, and property in Brooklyn, & has publicly stated he's selling a minority stake. He is not selling the team to Alibaba.

The Rockets owner came out and said, this team is for sale. The Rockets are available for purchase.

I thought the rumor was Tsai, not Alibaba, wanted to buy the share. I don't think Ma Yun is interested in owning any NBA teams...
Most NBA stats aren't credible. At most times the people who interprets those data are biased, or the data themselves are flawed. Basketball is just too complicated with so many uncontrollable variables.

Its was a joke but its definitely not the premier social networking app like it used to be.

Whenever I meet people my age, they ask for my snap, my twitter or my instagram in that order. The last time I met someone who told me to add them on Facebook was my junior year. People still use it, just not like they use to.

Facebook owns Instagram now. And I believe FB is still more popular than Twitter. Snapchat is still growing .


I know Facebook owns instagram, but that doesn't mean Instagram is Facebook. Just owned by them. Facebook the company is growing every year, but Facebook the social media site has hit its peak. Twitter will be a dub in a few years too.

D-Lo has gotten more love in one day from NY than Deron Williams did in 5 Years.

Further proof that nobody uses FB anymore. Even when they fully intend on doing so.

Young people don't use Facebook like they used to, but they still use it because they have to.

Instagram stories are killing Snap anyway. Twitter is still relevant but its not profitable and probably never will be.

I freaking love Whitehead. This guy just keeps improving his game and proving he wants to be great.

No doubt in my mind that this kid could end up being somebody in the NBA.

Who were these guys going against that they needed to go into OT and win on a last second shot?

And how do people "have" to use Facebook? Is that just an assumption, because we're not using FB nor do we need to.

Anyway, why is this such a big deal to you guys?

Apparently they're just announcing Xmas games and opening week games, which is ridiculous if that's the case

Its not a big deal lol. Its the off season. What else are we supposed to talk about?

Young people still need Facebook for group projects, to join groups for clubs/colleges, and to stay in touch with their relatives.

Its more like something they have to have rather than something they do for fun.

I'm only 24 and I have a little sister whos only 18. So I know what younger peopel are doing.

True lol. Better than talking about the weather.

And I don't know man. I'm 20 and don't use FB at all. I have only a handful of friends who still use it. Group chats are all done in texts, and all colleges have online programs where group work is done. Keeping in touch with family is a good point, but typically you only use Facebook to contact your older relatives, no? I usually use skype or just text the more tech savy members.

Now that you mention it, I did use FB alot to contact classmates in HS. Copy and pasting HW and what not :lol:. But once I got to college that's when it became obsolete. Like I said I havent even added anybody I've met in college on FB.
