Man City fans coping with "you can't take our experiences away!" Shame cos your team helped rob other fans of those experiences by cheating to stack the team. At least have the decency to enjoy the cheating quietly!

Only a handful of players have ever been the NBA top scorer and he is one of them. An oft forgotten titan of the game.
Is it just me or would Bob Pettit have been a better fit today than his own era? For a PF and given the archaic shoes he wore, strict dribbling and travel rules, he sure seems fast and agile. And he could hit jump shots and rebound. The pace and spacing today would be more ideal for him than no spacing 50’s / 60s where most of the game was played close to the basket

something i love about Ohrai's works for Koei's nobunaga's ambition series, is how he depicts almost everyone with a borderline psychotic look

It is not that the Sir Alex vs Pep debate is now over, it is that it was foolish it was even being had at all. His entire career is surrounding by both kinds of doping. Pep tested positive for PED's (nandrolone) as a player, six times the legal limit. Dr Segura, who worked with him at the time, joined him at Barcelona in 2009. Luis Garcia del Moral - who was 1 of the 3 doctors banned for life following Lance Armstrong's life ban - was a medical advisor to Barcelona. Del Moral is one of three doctors (Segura & Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes are the others) with links to doping who have ties to Barcelona. Manchester City were also fined THREE TIMES within the first 6 months of Pep's appointment for violations of anti-doping regulations. And I haven't even mentioned the Negreira corruption case with Barcelona, involving payments to a former refereeing chief. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
😳 "The Sir Alex v Pep debate is now over." ❌ "I'd leave him out of the [G.O.A.T Premier League manager] conversation Rory Jennings makes a bold claim about Pep Guardiola's Man City legacy 👀

In the NBA, 25pts 5reb 5ast just keeps getting easier. The handcheck ban in 2005 leads to immediate increase in 25-5-5 but the pace and space mid 2010’s is where it started to blow up and no longer become a rarity
Most 25/5/5 Games In NBA History (RS + Playoffs) : 1. LeBron James — 886 2. Oscar Robertson — 529 3. James Harden — 393 4. Michael Jordan — 392 5. Larry Bird — 359 6. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — 356 6. Kevin Durant — 356 8. Russell Westbrook — 350 8. Luka Doncic — 350 10. Nikola Jokic — 341

It's so perfect how often if you check their profiles the zealot ZywOo stans are also stans for Messi and/or LeBron.

At his prime, s1mple was better than ZywOo. He is more versatile. ZywOo is more of a positional, team-oriented player. Essentially, every team plays around him, whereas s1mple can single-handedly win a game.

This guy is such a fucking lying weirdo loser. He's like a tick on the industry.

I’m not into breaking news that are not about transfers on players/managers/owners mate, never been. This is completely different area. Not difficult to understand, only tweeting when it’s official statement. Have a nice day 😃

FlyQuest suspended, benched and fined a player for publicly stating a biological reality in a manner people found distasteful. Let me know when they take public meaningful action against the shitter who made that co-streaming video if they actually believe it was a problem.

Nah I'm going with the no on this one. Doesn't seem to have the feel or mind for the game. Say what you like about Tyler1 but he could actually play the game and had some talent.

Looking at the overall HLTV rating of an AWPer really doesn't tell you much about their role in CS2. You need to be looking at AWP specific stats otherwise someone who is a good rifler can sneak higher up and someone who is a bad rifler but very good AWPer gets punished.

This betting ban in Brazil is going to wreck the CS scene. Not only was so much of the scene there funded by betting companies but this has just become the second golden age of Brazilian top teams and talent.
