Interviews are meh; they don’t really know how to speak in complete sentences most times, and some get uncomfortable and it’s weird.
Yes, film breakdown
We all love rumors!
is this going to be a team correlated media or personal podcast?

Yeah, I’ve never cared for interviews either but my new boss thinks they’re very valuable. I’d imagine they get a ton of clicks.
It’s a team specific site.

Exactly! Lets make it all legal! This is such a genius argument.

Let me ask you a question. If meth were legal would you do it? Exactly. That’s the point. Doesn’t matter if it’s legal or not. Some people are going to do drugs, drink alcohol, drink 15 sugar filled sodas a day, or shoot heroin whether it’s legal or not. And others won’t. Can’t stop supply and demand.

This. No problem with anyone calling Jordan or lebron the best. But some of the Jordan people act like Lebron and other fantastic NBA players today couldn’t even start on a semi pro team in the 90s lol. Like I’m surely lebron, Kwahi, etc could get buckets on Jeff hornaceck and Craig Ehlo

Then it goes the other way with yuckleheads like Ubben tweeting that after one game being defended by Pat Beverley, that Pete Maravich would have quit basketball...and every other ridiculous Hank Take. Fans watching basketball since 2000 refuse to believe that it existed beforehand. Phenomenal athletes with proclivity for basketball greatness date back to the creation of the game. There’s been nobody in a superior stratus than Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Bill Russell and Elgin Baylor amongst others. Most likely others never even attempted basketball and the AAU type programs and modern 24/7/365 focus on development of skills would have netted more than a significant number from the smaller world population. Maybe it’s a failed attempt at humor, but it doesn’t win you any arguments when you emphatically state otherwise. I personally don’t dig what I view as a glorified 3 point fest which is the present game, but I stand in awe of a Devin Booker or a Luka Doncic when they ply their craft. And I have hope when an 80’s type center Nikola Jocik shows that position isn’t completely dead. Not speaking for anybody else when I place my vote for Michael Jordan over Lebron...just don’t want another generation speaking for me.

So why have laws at all? Hey, people who want to murder are going to murder. Some will do it. And others won't. Might as well make it legal. Can't stop it. That's lunacy. The law is a deterrent to people. That's one. Second, the fact that it is illegal makes it much less accessible for the normal person. Imagine meth being just as legal as cigarrettes. Its in every store and on every street corner. The destruction that would cause would be hard to imagine. To try and compare a sugar drink to meth is just absurdly idiotic.

i am addicted to sugar. I have to really focus to avoid it.

I think if everyone is honest we all can say that, it is in everything. It's highly addictive and that is why food companies are so prone to using it. It make the end user want more. Reward system in the brain is triggered similar to a drug addict getting a hit.

Does everyone smoke cigs? People know the dangers so most don’t do it. Same would be true of any other drug. Plus the drugs could be made safer rather than in trailer parks. There are countries where all drugs are decriminalized and they haven’t collapsed

Meth is much, much more highly addictive than cigarettes, and far more destructive. A lot of people will smoke a cigarette once and throw it down never to do it again. With meth and heroin, in a lot of cases, one use is all it takes for someone to become hooked on it and unable to break it without extensive rehab and treatment. These are not in the same ballpark.

One of my best friends was, lost his marriage, his home etc. It being illegal sure didn't stop him. Next question.

Lived longer if he’d have been able to buy it at Walmart? My best friend growing up was down to scoring horse tranquilizers from creepy Texas Chainhouse Massacre farmhouses on my last visits before I left for the Air Force. Last saw him when I dropped him off for rehab...smoked his last joint in the car on the way. Very creative, imaginative fellow. Possibilities of his life span if he could have ordered black tar heroin on Amazon.

It’s simple, if you want to hurt yourself that’s your choice. If you hurt others you go to jail.

Drugs should be just like alcohol and cigarettes, adults only. Teach the public the cause and effect, education is the key.

Except meth use doesn't just hurt yourself. I'll let you sit down with my two nieces who no longer have a father and say, "hey girls, there's no difference between meth and a milkshake!"

Murder is a result of a person inflicting damage to another persons body.

Imagine thinking that the death of 270,702 (probably on the low side) in 2017 is ok because you like sugar and are addicted to it and it kills at a slower rate than meth. All addictions are the same, just different drugs and sugar and caffiene are yours but you've always done them. So who has the absurdly idiotic comparison? If something else had a death rate this high you'd be all for the abolition of whatever it was.
