Dude’s worth a bill and a half and yet he’s doing the 21st century equivalent of casino greeting. For Chrissake, isn’t there a monetary point where your dignity outruns extracting the last dime available to you? 

Greed, it is why billionaires and to some extent millionaires want more and more.  The average person may just want enough to be comfortable and happy, but some people just got to have more and more and more.  You see it with money, attention, or just possessions.  There is never enough.  Off my soap box for now.

Many people are “virtuous” for lack of opportunity.

The average person is just as greedy.  And it’s okay.

I thought it was a new court design at Oregon!

Really does.  Maybe these will launch at REI.

Wouldn't be a bad look if he were wearing/selling Timberlands.

NBA opening night!! Pretty good line up

 

Will be interesting to see if Duren can return to not being unplayable on a basketball court

Do the 76ers make sense, does Embiid play more than 30 games, does he have to

No notes. Ready for more Wemby

Pacers in the Big Easy to open the year.  I am pretty curious how Halliburton looks to start the year. IND is favored by 3.5

Such a pleasure to have that guy back. He is as much fun to watch as anyone playing. He makes the Pacers appointment TV.

Ty is back and looked good. 

 

That '25 playoff run was unreal. Be cool to see it again. Still think Ty was tracking to have one of those nights in game 7  before the injury

Curious. I would think the intuitive reaction for at least a few of them would be to be pi$$ed off that that they’re now part of an organization with basically no chance to win over the next few years. Kind of makes you wonder if Steve may have, just maybe, cooked up side deals for all those guys to, I don’t know, maybe cover the California tax burden for them?

If I were to speculate, I bet he did.

I suppose Yaxel didn't watch much NBA outside of clips.  Anyone could've told him this.

"I guess this is what the NBA is like, man," Lendeborg said. "A lot of flopping, a lot of foul baiting, a lot of praying to the refs, man. Interesting first game for me."
