    Didn't figure I would get an actual response to my last post. Was quite correct.

    You did. You can play dumb all you want.
    I have no issue at all with people posting positives and negatives about players. I have many issues with CJ and others.
    Its just when you cry about being labeled a hater, I'm pointing out, its posts like the OP here. Nothing wrong with positive and negative counterpoint posts. People label as such when they see stuff like this, cj likes wine, lemme make a random negative unrelated at all comment to the article.

    I hope you didn’t take my post incorrect. I understood what you were trying to say (and I took yours as being facetious more than anything). My response was going literal to say that CJ really doesn’t put that much energy into the wine industry (much like he puts into passing and D - he can talk a big game but the effort is all talk).

    wine is overrated and too expensive. Not efficient alcohol.

    I'm trying to be subtle here

    I'm not so subtly telling you that your emogi is drinking beer. Or at least getting ready to.

    no. doesn’t matter the vessel, it’s wine or hard booze. Given the emoji seems to imply a foam on top, it’s likely a Spanish coffee or something of that ilk.

    P.S. what’s an “emogi” and how does it differ from an “emoji”?

    Your original post criticized his basketball preparation. You didn't post positives and negatives you only posted negatives. Multiple posters are calling you out on it. Your post speaks for itself. Deal with it.

    Your sentence implies he cares more about wine than basketball. Which is ludicrous.

    Ha! You just exposed yourself. The wine article IS off-topic. It's NOT about basketball. But you're now admitting you posted it in the basketball forum so that you could bash him. You wanted to use the wine article as an opportunity to criticize his work ethic. Which is also ludicrous.

    Remember- if you weren't such a hater, you could have written "If CJ put the energy he puts into his game into studying wine, he'd be a world's expert on wine!"

    Also- you even admit that you chose the Blazers Edge title of the article which IS fake news! That CJ had a "passion" for wine is THEIR word, not CJ's. And the article isn't just about CJ. It's about many NBA players getting into the wine business. The actual headline is "The NBA's Wine Obsession is Opening Up a New World of Opportunity for Players."
