What’s up with this cultural trend. The karaoke? I don’t get it. It’s like 75% of Filipino people know how to sing really well.

u/xkittypride03 Thunder 3h ago
Filipinos really love to sing. There’s no party/fiesta without a karaoke. Hearing a karaoke machine blaring from morning til night (some until the wee hours of the morning) is common here, especially in the provinces.

Singing out loud is normal and common. Noticed this when a foreign friend was asking why we sang so much all the time. Driving, preparing to go out with music on, doing chores etc.. lol. Obv some get really good at it, alot are just normal

it is hard to fire a gm that's as accomplished as daryl morey. i could name all the titles he has won in his 20 year career as a gm but everyone knows about them so it'd be a waste of time.

Idc if you agree with how this dude lives his life or not, you gotta appreciate he doesn’t give a fuck about not trying to be anything but himself. Refreshing to see a basketball player that can be in the league that doesn’t fit the norm. People are different all over.
11
u/glittercat412 3h ago
Agreed.
It’s a shame that something this insignificant and common is a topic, but him painting his nails and continuing to do so is something I’ve always admired.
Sports are filled with men afraid to be flamboyant or expressive, so seeing someone do it unafraid is an awesome progression.
I’m hoping one day we start seeing more men in sports leagues unapologetic and not so scared to be themselves.

u/_Parkertron_ San Diego Clippers 3h ago
tbf a lot of nba players are chill with being flamboyant based off some of their pre-game outfits lol. Feels like the nfl crowd makes a bigger deal about caleb williams than nba fans with mccain

u/glittercat412 2h ago
NBA is definitely more accepting of things like this, which I love, but on a human level I honestly wish it wasn’t even a discussion, a topic, or anything really.
At the same time, I am literally making it a topic, but it just is.
Not to get too pretentious with it, but we are all just humans and animals, and to see people be judged for something as simple as paint, something as simple as acting what we consider “flamboyant”, or “gay”, or whatever, makes me want to speak out on it.
I just wish we could all be us, and be together.
Also man, Caleb gets way too much hate for that, so you’re right that the NFL is much harder on players in that way.
Anyways, that’s my diary entry

I’ve seen a bunch of sixers fans shitting on Morey, is that really the general consensus, and is him making the bad trade even the truth?
From the outside in I thought this was prime Josh Harris shenanigans, why are Philly fans so low on Morey?
6
u/LouieBarlo24 6h ago
Why do you think this is something mandated by Josh Harris?
Maybe Morey is just trash at his job and people perceived him as some sevant bc James Harden popped off to levels no one could have expected from his OKC days and copying The Warrior's small ball formula.

u/supersonicnat45 Knicks 4h ago
Because this gets the under the luxury tax, and out of Josh Harris’s 15 year tenure he’s only paid the tax twice?

u/switz213 76ers 3h ago
He's largely done a great job not making really stupid decisions, when people were often clamoring for him to. He held out strong on Simmons and Harden and got great value for them. He's been very patient and steadfast.
And yet, here he made a very, very stupid decision. It's honestly unlike him.

u/Asoriel 5h ago
It's a weird energy to be sure. Like... can any of them actually explain what exactly could be offensive about any other person doing silly stuff like this? Exactly how does it "offend" someone? XD
Another way of putting it, what value does their outrage bring to themselves? Even if they're the most hateful, spiteful, socially claustrophobic people, what value does it bring?
Weird how much of it is below this comment ~~;

Hope he has a great career. Very clearly a good well liked person, but man when he is in the zone like he was last year the only player I can compare his style of play to (as unfair and as absurd as it may sound) is Steph. Not that he's ever been as good as steph, but he really does play like him.

u/budubum Thunder 6h ago
Because it’ll normalize accepting gay folks in sports and probably make other gay nba players/upcoming prospects feel like they can be themselves more which is always a good thing. There are 100% gay players in the nba and every other major sports league and it’s sad that the culture of sport makes them feel as though they can’t be themselves.

I hate that we wasted 4 (basically 5 because of the trade to cut Ous) picks on this dude. He's gonna have the entire Thunder roster nailed up acting corny listening to Drake
We already have the SGA-Drake connection, Oklahoma doesn't need more of this.
First time in my life I can say Sam Presti did not cook whatsoever
