Are chapter splits significant extra work? They are convenient, but I get that they're just not worth the effort sometimes. Thanks for the compilations, especially this and the Greatest Team of Every Franchise one.

[@SusanVivian-g3l]

This intriguing video serves as a poignant reminder of the heartache I've been enduring since my 7-year relationship came to an end 3 months ago. My cherished partner, the love of my life, made the difficult decision to part ways, leaving me consumed by thoughts of him. Despite my earnest attempts to win him back, I find myself facing frustration and an overwhelming sense of emptiness, unable to envision a life without his presence. Despite my efforts to move on, I'm compelled to confess my lingering feelings and longing for him here.

[@malitatyre8219]

The process of releasing a loved one can be an uphill battle. I can relate, having navigated a similar journey when my 8-year relationship dissolved. Despite the heartache, I refused to relinquish hope and embarked on a quest to win her back. Turning to a spiritual counselor for assistance, I found guidance that ultimately led to our reconciliation.

[@SusanVivian-g3l]

Impressive! How did you manage to connect with a spiritual counselor, and what's the process for me to reach out to her?

[@malitatyre8219]

Allow me to introduce Suzanne Ann Walters, a highly skilled spiritual counselor known for her expertise in rekindling past relationships.

[@davymarcelo3901]

Love that you opened with your Top 5 Dunk Contests! I would actually rank 2003 above 2000, but only because of how it ended with a duel between the last 2 contest winners, and J-Rich’s “walk off” was a dunk we had never seen before. I would also add 1987 to the Honorable Mention-again, for its final duel between MJ and the late great Jerome Kersey, as well as the iconic “Statue Of Liberty” dunk by Terence Stansbury, which has never been duplicated since. (Blake’s 2-handed rendition came very close in 2011)

[@kingsalomon6459]

[@fortnitejake850]

Reminder that Aaron Gordon was robbed

[@davymarcelo3901]

🗣️💯 I felt he was more robbed in 2020, but I understand the case for 2016 too. At minimum, his final “double double” dunk in double-OT should have been a 50, so that he and LaVine would have ended in a tie.

[@benberry792]

A couple times, but he's got a ring now tho

[@penkima4923]

D-Wade was the judge in 2020 who prevented AG from winning, but Derrick Jones jr. of the Heat was in the contest, so D-Wade was forced to make sure the Heat player won the contest over AG. I blame the organizers more that year.

[@davymarcelo3901]

@@penkima4923 Shaq was actually a fair judge that contest, only giving a 10 to the dunks completed on first try. Off memory, it was actually Dikembe, T-Mac, and a third judge who gave 9s to AG’s double-double dunk, opening the door for LaVine to walk it off with his near the FT line Eastbay.

One thing I loved about some of the old dunk contests of the early 2000's was that they would do their awesome moves and then SLAM the ball down the hoop with force

[@Anonymityfan]

One thing a lot of people forget is guys like Ewing and Mourning were great rim protectors which is what made the dunks on them even more impressive.

[@placebojesus5652]

@penkima4923 It’s funny how Shaq can be so petty and egotistically sensitive/ insecure yet is also pretty well-known to be extremely kind to fans, and especially kids and disadvantaged people in general (unless I’m just succumbing to careful promotional hype lore, but I think it seems fairly legitimate that Shaq will very often basically randomly buy very expensive things for kids and other strangers in need, something I’ve never heard of for example MJ doing and frankly doesn’t seem like it d be something compatible with MJ’s nature to do, maybe he does but is quiet about it, I kinda doubt it strongly though, he just seems like a “they need to learn they have to earn it” kind of mindset dude lol, and as for LeBron he seems like he might do it or might’ve when he was younger but I’ve heard he’s an arrogant dismissive dickhead towards fans nowadays and has been for a while. Anyway, Steph Curry is another example of a dude who’s good to kids and fans, and on top of it he’s not petty or sensitive/insecure for the most part and especially not for an elite professional athlete NBA player lol I’m just thinking of the Tweet about his wife’s cookbook where it seemed haters had gotten to him and trolled him into reacting to it defensively but now that I think about it, it may have been that his wife kinda egged him into doing it lol so you could say he’s a cuck beta for that but that’d be obviously extreme and stupid lol he’s just a married dude who knows on certain relatively small things like this it’s better to just choose your battles wisely and do what she wants lol I’m guessing that’s what it was, and/or he saw his wife getting upset by the mocking/hate towards her/her cookbook by brutal anonymous ppl on social media (it’s well known social media targeting can cause folks serious psych/emotional issues, so some relatively small issues like this are no surprise) and thought maybe he could use his cache to defend her against them and make her feel better and promote the cookbook in the process, again as a dude who loves his wife, dislikes social media bullies, and also know to choose battles wisely, though I will say it was the only semi-cringey thing I can recall Steph doing publicly, and maybe more importantly I don’t remember ever looking into whether the cookbook was dogshit or not like some people had apparently said.

There’s no way the Perkins you showed is the same Perkins I see today. How TF did dude get so fat _so fast?_ I’ve seen all-Star vets pack on weight like Shaq and Charles but not like that. It also took Shaq and Charles decades to pack on weight and they don’t even look bad at all. They just look like big guys who have put on some pounds over the years. For Perkins, it’s a different story. Dude went from a frightening and powerful athletic machine to Sherman Klump.

[@kenw2225]

Curry is better than LeBron. Maybe LeBron has better counting stats overall. But the difference, like current proved in Olympics, he's winner. He's the winner. He's clutch. LeBron probably never wins without wade teaching him. He choked 2011. And without wade in 12 and 13, LeBron doesn't pull off 2016. Curry is above LeBron. He's superior in skills on court. LeBron just athletic and good at dunking .

[@Alohadude00]

kenw2225....Let me tell you this and you can't have it both ways. So Iguadala stopped Lebron and that's why the GSW won in 2015 and Iguadala won FMVP, if Iguadala didn't stop Lebron, the Cavs would have won, so Iguadala gave Curry his first Championship. it's either that or Lebron should have won FMVP because Lebron had more points, rebounds,assists, steals and rebounds than either Iguadala or Curry and on top of that, Lebron took GSW to 6 games without 2 starters. So first Curry's championship Iguadala gave it to Curry. Second and third Curry's championship, KD defended Lebron most of the time , So KD defended the best player in the other team and after defending the best player on the other team KD had enough energy to have more rebounds and Blocks than Curry and KD won finals MVP in both championships, so KD gave Curry 2 championships, KD joined Curry's team, but what about Curry letting a better player to join his already 73 win team?

The only team you can say LeBum “carried” to the Finals are the 2007 Cleveland Clowns who were actually not that bad(for a Leastern conference team) He then went to Miami to form a superteam because he realised he is not good enough to win otherwise. Teaming up with Dwayne Wade in his prime who was already an NBA champion-and putting up similar numbers to Luka Dončić today! And Chris Bosh who was also in his prime and putting up numbers similar to Anthony Davis today! How brainwashed you gotta be to say he carried those guys when there were literally NO OTHER great players left in the Leastern Conference, all of them went to Miami! Lets not even talk about his superteam in Cleveland! Kyrie is still playing, I know you are 15 years old at most but you gotta know how good Kyrie is and Kevin Love in his prime who was putting up 26/12/4 the year before! Jordan taking his terrible Bulls team to the playoffs every year in the brutal 80s East Conference is actual carrying!And for his first 3-peat Jordan only had 1 all star in Pippen(who was just a 1 time all star at this point) and who in his prime wasn’t much better than Jimmy Butler in his prime. Jordan never had or needed NEARLY as much help as LeBum and you out here saying ridiculous stuff like “Jordan had Steve Kerr”😂 Kerr wasn’t around for the first 3-peat either and besides you clearly haven’t watched him play. Steve Kerr is a career 6PPG scorer who was coming off the bench because he was a bad defender 🤣

Think about “peak 06 Kobe Brick”, his fans always make an excuses to say that don’t count because his teammates is too trash, but nothing compare to 2018 cavs and 2020 heat. Even Jimmy Butler can find some way to lead the team. Only Kobe Brick’s fans always use LeBron James to dodge the hate should be on Kobe Brick.
