An associate told me a startling fact before Christmas, apparently more than 85% of Americans over 7ft have spent time in an NBA list!

You need 7ft players for rebounds and the odd easy dunk but its really about players who can shoot it from the car park ie Curry and take their opponent to the basket and score on them ie Lebron. Did see the 6ft Paddy Mills had about 7 x threes for the Spurs who I follow in a recent game, you could count the team scores from executed plays on one hand...
Basketball aside what we witnessed today was total anarchy at its worst, how does Trump sleep knowing people died after he whipped his followers into a state of frenzy....Pence has to pull the plug on Trump and get the rednecks back to the hills where they belong.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 01-07-2021
I’m guessing Trump has destroyed the possibility he could resign so Pence can pardon him. After Trump threw him under the bus after trying to strongarm him into blowing up the certification process, I can’t imagine Pence would do him such a favour. Let’s not forget Trump endangered Pence’s physical safety too.
If Pence were to pardon Trump, he’d commit political suicide. Ford guaranteed he’d lose the 1976 election by pardoning Nixon.
Trump will have to pardon himself and it’s an open question whether such a self-pardon would be valid.

At least sanity has prevailed and the nutter has conceded and agreed to fork off peacefully on the 20th. Ironically, the shooting of that woman inside the Capitol Building was the trigger that stopped the chaos.. It would have got real ugly if not for that act I reckon. Absolute nut jobs.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - DJC - 01-07-2021
I suspect that the modern-day Aurangzeb will continue foment trouble until he’s dragged kicking and screaming from the White House.
Surely Pence and the cabinet can see the threat posed by the evil, delusional, psychopathic cry baby and will use the 25th amendment to fark him off. If they don’t, they are just as bad.

AURANGZEB......
You get to learn something new on this site everyday!
Can't help feeling that Aurangzeb may also be an old Hindi word meaning 'Orange One'....

Hidden in his coat is the Red Right Hand!

Saw Kobe and the Lakers @ Home in a pre-season game and i reckon our training has better intensity and atmosphere.
Saw the Spurs v Clippers @ Spurs and even with the coyote (?) entertainment the atmosphere was largely poor.
In the NFL games, 1 @ Seattle, 1 @ Minnesota, the atmosphere was amazing. On 3rd downs, don't even bother trying to talk to the person next to you as they won't hear you. The extra entertainment was almost non-existent at the NFL, but thats because the real action was far superior to that of the NBA.
The NFL is a game of chess.
The NBA is game of memory.....the start is boring and its all about what happens right at the end.
I was a huge NBA fan in the 90's, but its not the same. Its so sanitary and boring now.
