    This one right here costs 200 dollars on Amazon. It's got a pull up bar, it's got dip bars and it has push up bars off the base. It also looks like it was made in a factory and not in someone's shed. There are some others for a little less but I'm thinking about going with the BBB set up that takes up around ten times the room and again looks like LaVar himself did the welding.

    The "Okay Wine" part must have thrown me off a bit? I usually catch the "mock" and "sarcasm"
    I have not tried it. Have you? Was thinking about going and seeing Adelsheim Vineyards.

    No, no, no. The phrase is "eating corn on the cob through a picket fence"..........far more picturesque.......

    07 Warriors with Baron Davis were wild.

    So you shared a tweet about a guy not good enough to play in the league and how he’s cool not playing in the league?

    Yeah, that's only acceptable if including "the Jimmer!" somewhere in the post.

    Stop complaining man. You have a twitter account. You can tweet that you cool not making it to the NBA as well and there are many people here happy to share it on the forum.

    I may not have a great understanding of the game like the experts you're referring to, but I've seen LeBron play a lot. And I don't have any advertising algorithm to cater to.

    He's physically imposing and athletic, and that's about it. He's no great competitor or leader, aside from just being so physically imposing people give him respect. He's good. He's great.

    I just read the below link that reminded me of our conversation and wanted to explain my reasoning a bit more.

    Wilt probably had more blocks than anybody in NBA history, and judging by a 112 game stretch tracked when Wilt was 35-36 (in which he averaged 8.8bpg) probably averaged more than double Mark Eaton’s record of 3.5bpg over his career. Blocking Kareem's skyhook on his way to 17 blocks of just Kareem in one series alone (when Wilt was 36 years old!), so it's not like he was just blocking short white dudes.

    Wilt averaged over 50ppg one season. And averaged nearly 23 rebounds per game for his career!

    https://www.basketballnetwork.net/o...-in-the-1972-wcf-on-his-way-to-a-championship

    Wilt was a force like LeBron. Only better and more dominant in virtually every aspect of the game. The guy was the greatest physical force to ever play the game.

    Neither Wilt or LeBron were ever the competitor or leader that MJ was though.

    For my money it's still MJ followed by Wilt. Bill Russell was also a better competitor and leader than LeBron or Wilt, IMO, and I'd take Bird over LeBron as well.

    It's actually IMPOSSIBLE to compare players from different generations. Can't be done. I'd LOVE for you to take 2 minutes and guess LeBron's per game averages against players like this? I'll wait FAMS!

    Well, he wouldn't have been allowed to play with them, so 0?

    But I do wonder how older players (Birds, Russel, Wilt, Kareem, etc) would do against current NBA players IF they grew up in the modern NBA instead of when they basically allowed you to mug people on the court, you didn't have a dietitian working for the team, didn't have trainers like they do now, and flew coach.

    I've shared on here before that one of my favorite NIKE commercials ever was one for Scottie Pippen......he's dreaming that he's playing in this old school gym back in the Hoosiers era....it's hilarious.
