Yooooo have you been watching the NBA much?
For sure!
Are you a fan of any team? My favorite player right now is Donovan Mitchell. He's in the jazz and he's a rookie but he's such a beast!!
Dubs for the win am i right?! Dovan is good but im more of a ben simmons man!
I don't really like the jazz but Donovan Mitchell makes them worth it to see. He single handedly carried the jazz to the playoffs
Hes the rookie of the year for sure
It's too bad that they had to go against the rockets though... but I still think he did exceptionally well for being a rookie
Thats true though. he really has had an amazing season He needs a better bench though I mean CP3 is such a star
Ben Simmons is really good too but he's very cocky. Not to mention that Joel Embiid boosts his ego to Narnia haha.
And donavan doesnt have any other all star on hsi team so its amazing that they went as far as they did.
I have to give it to the 76er's though. They killed it in the play offs
Narnia hahaha Ya but if Ben Simmons get a better jump shot he could be the next KING
I was hoping they would move on and beat the Celtics. I really only watch the Celtics for Kyrie Irving
Like he has the height and the skill set. His basketball IQ is high for sure
Yeah the Jazz would be the stupidest franchise to not give him a pay raise or not do anything in their power to keep him their
Kyrie is out though :// He got hurst so i think Lebron will beat them i like 5 or six gaames Its wont be close unfortuanaatly
If they can build a team around Donovan Mitchell, mark my words, they will win a championship soon which hasn't happened in such a long time for the Jazz
If Donovan has a suporting cast they'll go far.
Yeah Kyrie is out and so is Gordon Hayward but the Celtics play together as a team soooo well.
How long have you been watching basketball? #Gordan2019
None of the Celtics players right now were super well known before the playoffs but because they have so much synergy together they're able to beat teams and continue
For sure, they have two new rookies whos names i cant remeber but both have raelly stepped up./
Just imagine: the synergy of the Celtics team right now with the play making ability of Kyrie and scoring ability of Gordon
TOO REAL
They just might have a real shot at competing with the Dubs
Im still blown away about the raptors weeep though
Going back to LeBron though... his clutch shots against the pacers were literal fire. That man is too clean
they were really good in the regular season so its strange they could hold it down K so big question... whos the GOAT?
The Cavaliers right now aren't too great of a team but LeBron's backpack is big enough to carry the whole NBA on his back. As much as I hate it, I have to give it to LeBron LeBron is the GOAT! That man deserves so much respect
Haha no..... Jordan has a lifetime average of 30 POINTS A GAME 6 rings and none to game 7 its unbelievable
He has consistently carried so many times and his statics are off the chart
But it'll be intresting to see how much more he has in the tank after this year. Hes on his 15th season so thats pretty big the king can really carry a team for sure.
I feel like LeBron will eventually pass MJ as the GOAT. The NBA has evolved so much and if you were to compare games from the past to now, you'd see such a big difference
Hes such a facilitator
Yeah that's true... he's played so many season but he doesn't show signs of stopping anytiem soon
True, the only knock against lebron is his inability to close. But this season he has some great game winners
But what I was saying before, if you were to compare games from the past to now, you'd be able to see a difference in athleticism between players
And hes such a physical force that no one can stop him
Yeah he's such a big and burly dude that getting in the way of him almost always results in an AND1 for LeBron I think that the greatest team right now though is Golden State
6'9" and 265. I wish i was that big. Such a presence on the floor and the way he can move and command a play is what is sop inspireing for me In a different life i was a NBA player and had a ton of money and a huge mansion im for sure
When you have the splash brothers Curry, KD, Klay and the other two play makers, Iguodala, and Draymond, they are UNSTOPPABLE
GS will most likely win it. they have so much fire power and the way that they can pass and utilize each other is really hard to compare to optehrs.
Yeah I like to compare myself to an Asian version of LeBron, equal in skill and finesse
HAhah yikes But im not here to kill your dream man Whatever you set your mind to i guess.
No other team in the NBA works together as well as the Dubs do. That team will be a power house for at least the next 3-5 years I even heard that Klay will take a pay cut to stay on the Golden State to play with the team
GS will win it in 6 to the Cavs again this year. Ill put money on it. Their ability to move the ball, court vision, and the fact the Steph is just soooo good really helps their chances for a quick victory I would too if I was Klay
Yeah all it is is dreams.... eventually the dream wears off and I realize I'm 5'8" 135lbs without any basketball skills. But it doesn't hurt to daydream about it
Winning is more important than a few more million dollars
Nah I think the GS will sweep it. They definitely have the ability to do it
Give the King some credit but maybe Do you follow college ball?
The trades that Cleveland made to spice up their team hasn't done much... The King will make a stand but he alone can't handle the whole team for an entire game
For sure, hes just one man and I think they just arent deep enough to really stand a fighting chance
Yeah I love college ball too but I stopped following after all that controversy with coaches and players
Westbrook is not a person i want on my team though
But then again, basketball is one of those games where one man can just dominate and drop 60+ points
I dont follow colege that much, i had a bracket but thats it college* Its like a superhero sport, which i love
Same.... Westbrook is not good in my opinion. He's very athletic and he can explode to the basket like no other but I feel like he's not a very good team player
I feel basketball compared to others really makes superstars, and no other sprot can compare to the gravity ofthe influence of some of these NBA players
Sure, he's called Mr. Triple Double but it seems like he chases stats and feels like he deserves to win. College is fun to watch when it's March Madness but other than that, I don't really follow it too much. I don't feel like it's as exciting as the NBA
HAha for sure. Have you seen the youtube videos of him just trying to get assists when he could have made shots. smh
I get the hype and everything and to be honest, if I went to any of the schools where the college basketball scene was big, I would follow it more Yeah I stopped watching the OKC because of Westbrook I loved them when they had James Harden, KD, and Westbrook. I'm almost happy they disbanned though. James Harden has been fire ever since he's joined the Rockets. That man deserves an award too.
Where do you go to school? BYU has a huge following, but i wish we were in a better confernce so we could attract a few better p[layers players*
Same I go to BYU but BYU is terrible at basketball lol For the mid college level, they might shine but comparing them to the Nation, they're just a speck haha
For sure, Harden is killing this season and i almost want the Rockets to win so that they can finally get a ring. CP3 is still emplty handed no pun intended Ya we lost to UVU last year haha smh
Yeah CP3 has been clutch too. He fits in very well with the Rockets. He deserves a ring too
Like we give these guys so much money to play but we still arent that good.
I know they can pull it off too. They just have to give the ball to Harden and let him do his "step backs."
We need to widen our area. Or not make our players who are not LDS not have to follow the same standards
And by step backs I mean he has to take 5 steps back in a cool way so he doesn't get called for traveling lol
He does have a nasty step back though a few months ago he had the coldest step back ankle breaker its on youtube
Yeah but it's what makes BYU stand out. If anything, BYU will stick to it's morals than let the players compete in a higher setting YEAHHHH is it the one where he licks his lips at the end and stares the other player down? That was straight the nastiest thing I've seen all eyar
Thats true. I just think maybe we could ahve better players who would be willing to play here if it wasnt so religious or white or something
Regardless of his step backs being traveling, Harden can score the ball like no one's business. I really love watching him play because he's so fluid
haaha you saw. such a good play For sure, his euro step and step back are too cold rn.
So who are you calling to be in the championship game?
I think that one bad thing against him is his lack of size. Hes like draymond greens height , which i know might hurt him in driving to the net/
I think it'll be GS and Clevelend. I also think the series will be a sweep for Golden State, or at least I'm hoping so.
Warriors in 6 games. Not as good as last year, but even if someone on GS has a bad day, they got 3 others to make up for it.
Yeah that's true, but if you look at his statistics, Harden goes to the line so many times for getting fouled during his drive. He really knows how to draw fouls and get easy buckets from the line
True. I wonder though how tiring that could get like hes probably taking a beating every game even if the league is softer than before
Yeah that's why I think the GS will sweep the series. The Cavaliers only have LeBron, maybe Kevin Love to back him up in tough situations. Other than that, they don't really have outstanding players that can compete with the GS warriors Curry's having a bad day? Give it to KD. KD strugglin? Give it to Klay. Easy 3's all day every day
K love has been so up and down this series, he would have to start playing like he used to. KLAY IS THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE
The only reason why I think the games might go to 7 is the NBA conspiracy. The NBA wants more money from longer series and so they pay refs to make the game close.
hes such a clutch shooter and one of the best, maybe ever but people forget about him too easiley.
It's all a sham I tell ya
easily*
Yeah Kevin Love is a great player to watch but he's been lacking in his play style HARD.... and Klay is such a great player too
If there is a real conspiricy, id be amazed
I remember when he dropped 40 points in 1 quarter and dropped 60 points in one game I wish that they had let him stay in the game where he scored 60 points. It would have been awesome to see how much he could have scored if he stayed the entire game!
He really is a star waiting to be born. I think that if he was on another team like the Pelicans or Hornets, he would be recognized mroe more
I kind of disagree with that because the reason why Klay does so well is because he fits in perfectly with the Golden State.
Ya, his playing time is a little weak. But i think its good to get the bench roated in to keep everyone fresh
It would be a different game for him if he didn't have Curry or KD making easy plays for him to shoot the ball.
True, tehy play outside the paint and really open up the floor It helps that you have the mastermind Chef though
What did you think about Gordon Haywards injury?
baby faced assassin is so quick and really keeps the defense on their toes Nasty
I was terrified when I saw that happen. I think I actually cried a little too. He's made such a big progress from when he started with the Jazz.
Utterly gross and shocking. I didn't see it live but i was shocked that he was so mess up
New topic where did you serve your mission?
Korea! What kind of asian are you? haha
I'm Korean what a coincidence lol
no way! that sick man. Were you born here or did you immagrate?
I served my mission in Oakland, San Francisco
or just here for school
Cambodian speaking!@
Oaklands rad. I have family from the Bay
I was born in South Korea but I moved to the U.S. when I was about 7 or so
dang. Was it rough learning english then? Why did you come over?
Tell me a cool story from your mission! Did you like the food there? I loved being fed Cambodian food from the people in Oakland
Korea was the best. I loved the food and culture and i think koreans are the nicest
The Cambodians have a food called "brohok." It's a nasty mix of random foods grinded together and fermented under ground for a very very very long tiem.
I loved the Budhist temples actually.  I loved seeing that kind of architecture and i think that its one of the prettiest asin contries
It's got the nastiest smell and flavor but the natives love that stuff. They can eat it with almost anything.
Ive been to Japan as well but tehy are not as welcoming as koreans. I might be bias though
Yeah Korea has a rich culture and they keep the historical structure well in tact and take care of them.
bronok? never heard of it
Brohok
I dont know much about cambodia
Have you ever heard of a fruit called durian?
execpt for angor wat and the terrorist dictator they had. what was his name again?
It's seriously the grossest fruit in existence
I have! Its like spiny and yellow right?
In fact it's banned in some countries because the smell is so bad Yeah it's yellow and has spikes The cambodians believe that spikes are there to guard the fruit from animals
really?!?
I think God put the spikes there to keep us away from eating them but that's just me. I don't think anyone should experience eating something so terrible.
haha why do people eat it then? Like it has to taste good somehow? no?
Durian smells like sweaty socks stuffed in a locker and aged for years. Not to mention it's got consistency of the smashed rice and bananas Yeah it's just a taste they love I guess. I'm not sure. They loved trying to make us eat it though. It's a terrible memory I try to go look back on. Have you ever tried duck eggs before?
Hm i dont think I'd like eating it I tried bondagkee and its nasty I dont like some insides of the animal too
And I don't mean duck eggs as in the yolk, I mean duck eggs that were actually ready to hatch
WHAT! Is that real?
Yeah it's almost barbaric but it'
No way, why would you eat it?
it's got more protein than you need for a month lol
Its like eating a fetus
When you eat it, you can sometimes see the feathers and feel the bones when you chew Exactly, it's pretty much like eating a fetus.... Sometimes it's really hard to chew because the beak is super rigid and hard All Cambodian food isn't bad though. Some of it is really tasty Like beef sticks or papaya sald salad
I don't feel like that would do well if i served there
They also make very good pineapple fish
Ooo, beef sticks can do well for me though ahah do you wanna go to Cambodia eventuality ?
Yeah the weather in Cambodia is very nasty sometimes. It's always humid and so you're constantly sweating
I could see myslef living in Korea for a bit but i don't think i could anymore I think the culture is to different to live for a long time
I would love to visit Cambodia someday. I want to go see Angkorwat and witness what it's like to be inside one of the wonders of the world.
When i get the money, if i could see all the wonders of the world, that would be great.
Yeah Cambodians really stick to their culture. It's a very important aspect of their life. They've had such a hard past from communist countries Yeah I'm not even sure what all the wonders of the world are. I know there's the great wall and angkorwat Are the pyramids one of them too? lol
Do you remember korea alot? Ya i think so Pyramids, that Indian temple, and Chizaneza in mexico
I don't remember too much since I was young when I left. But I do have memories from when I lived there.
What do you remember/miss the mostA? most?
Like I remember my sister's finger ripping open from the window slamming shut on her finger from a rainstorm.
NASTY
I think I miss my family members the most.
Did she loose her fingure?
My immediate family is with me in the U.S. but my cousins, uncles, aunts, etc are all in Korea
Are all your cousins still there then? ohhh make sense
No she still has her finger, thank goodness, but it did gush out a lot of blood. I haven't been back to Korea for like 15+ years I would really love to go there soon though... hopefully once I graduate
Are you close to graduation> ?
I really love Korean pop music and I want to go see my favorite group perform live Yes I have 1 year left.
BTS???
Yes I know them! My favorite song from them is blood, sweat, and tears I would give my arm and leg to see them dance and sing live
I like PSY alot! Hes the best right?
They are very talented boys and they deserve recognition I downloaded all of the songs I could get my hands on from spotify Yes Psy is the best Gangnam style is the best song there is
I know, hes so funny and really spiritual
Yeah people don't really know the spiritual side to Psy.
Ive been to Gangnam, its like the hollywood of korea
He was actually a buddhist monk before he went famous on his singer career
designer clothes and everything
Gangnam is nuts! The scenery is fantastic and the food is to die for
that makes total sense. You can see it when he speaks I loved the street food. There was this food called hoduk that was awesome on cold days
alright new topic im going to tell you a story.
Are you dating anyone now?
so one time when i was little i was riding my four wheeler and i hooked up a wagon behind it and put my sister in it. it was alot of fun at first. they we started going farther down the road and adventuring a little more and then we started go a little faster. thats when it started to get a little sketchy. haha we were im my back yard and i started taking tight corners and  then the wagon that i was pulling her in flipped over and she was stuck underneath it and was dragged for a
omg
second and she got pretty banged up. it was pretty sad and i felt pretty bad but in the end ashe was totally fine but it was pretty scary when it first happened.
thats so scary. I cant ride anything. Not like a bike or anything
yeah it was kinda scary but shes fine. shes a tough girl. haha yeah if you can ride a bike that is a little weird but thats ok i guess. do you think its because you are just not athletic or do you just not want to learn. or what is it. io think youd like it most people really like that type of stuff. i thinhk being outside is really healpful and good for the soul. when i was little i would ride my bike verywhere. that how i got everywhere.
I wasnt allowed to leave my court as a kid becuase i lived in kinda a getto area
we would always know where the boys were at because there would be a pile of bikes on the front lawn of the house that everyone was at. those were the good days thats rough. i am so glad that i was raised in a pretty safe place. i could go where ever i wanted. i use to ride my bike for miles and not have to worry about anything happening. i guess that is the upside to living on the out skirts of town.
Thats cool though. I wish i had more people my age living in my area. I was raised by my grandparents so i couldn't ever see anyone its sucked But eventually i learned to garden so thats nice i guess
honestly i think my childhood was awesome. i think everyone should have had a childhood as awesome as mine. i was never and inside and i was always playing with my friends oustside. i was living the life when i was little. dang thats rough but it seems like you turned out ok.
I LOVE BEING OUTSIDE did i tell you i climbed? Have you ever climbed?
i lived way close to my grandparents too. i got to see them alot. they had a little farm with cows and chickens. yeah i have climbed. its one of the things i like to do most but i havent been doing it that much. im not really in shape to be doing it that often.
me too. I've only been climbing for about 3 years now but i love feeling myself get better
i dont eat health and it has made me lose alot of my muscle mass. which kind of buyms me out. so it is hard to want to get back into it since i cant be competitive anymore yeah thats one of the best feelings
And true, my cardio sucks but at least i can do something athletic
i also just dont want to invest that much time into one hobby since i like doing so many different things.
You dont need to be competitive though, i just do it for fun. it does take up some time though
also i want to get some variety in my hobbies so i can meet more poeple. maily girls.
girls lol
the girls who climb arent really my type. they can be kind of gross
Ya im single and a pringle and its lame alot of climber girls are nasty just not the most "girly"est girls out there And i feel that climbing is something i can do maybe without chicks and just keep that my thing, ya know?
yeah i just dont tjink i will be interested in any climbing girls. i want to start doing things in bigger groups so i can start meeting more girls so i can find someone that i get along with. yeah thats not a bad idea.
For sure
i just started school again and im hoping that will help me meet some girls. open up somedoors for dating. but i will have to just wait and see
I need to open my friend pool a bit Try and do groups stuff too.......
c;imbing is way cool though. i mainly liked it because i was able to compete with myself and push myself to be better. and i thought i was pretty good at it. im totally gine with not being as good as other people but i dont like knowing that i am not as good as i use to be and i dont hink i can get there again unless i dedicate alot of time to and im just not willing to do that right now.
For sure. But you could just send multipitch 5.9 and still have fun! Like i dont go hard everyday but just like getting out and being outside ya know
yeah i am not really into the multi pitches.
what!! multipitch is cool! why not? Scared?
i just like doing stuff that makes me feel a little nervous but that i can push through and get it done
The height can make you nervous though! But its less of a workout though
heights do not scare me they actaully get me pretty pumped but the multi pitches are cool sometimes. but i also dont have alot of endurance so i can not even do the easy multi pitches like other climbers can. but thats cool to do sometimes. i think multi pitches are cool in their own way but they just are not really my style exactly. but i am sure i will end up doing some more sometime soon. at least i hope. i think they are fun every so often i think my favorite type of climbing is sport for sure but my favorite are short sport climbs and i really love when they have roofs.
ya!
