Basketball / Re: NBA 2017 - 2018 Season
« on: October 28, 2017, 07:17:27 am »full highlights.. some other nasty highlights in there. man he is going nuts.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgSoraIKn-g" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgSoraIKn-g</a>
To me, this was just as impressive as a 50 pt game. Very efficient against a very long and tough Milwaukee team on nat'l tv @ milwuakee.....
completely agree.. "efficient" is beautiful. I think that's why I love watching Steph, he's unselfish and extremely efficient. Kyrie is doing that in BOS right now with these performances.
Contrast that to some of Kobe or Iverson's 50+ games, where they just take every shot going nuts .. still incredible, but I really do love the more effortless 25-30's with the rest of the stat line filled out. WB is a monster but lots of times it looks like he's "forcing it".
Steph and Kyrie have alot of similar qualities to me.. Steph with the range/J advantage, Kyrie with the penetration advantage. Both guys have incredible ball handling & passing, though very different styles.

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Re: Runners to learn from
« on: October 27, 2017, 09:34:04 pm »
planning on starting to use "hills" in jan .. and just saw this:
awesome.
Quote
Moiben Road. A favourite training destination for Kenyan athletes living in Iten, Eldoret and other surrounding towns
🇰🇪
Considered 'flat' compared to much of the surrounding countryside it would still be considered a very hilly run for most
🇰🇪
Hills must now be the main Kenyan 'secret' in an era when the 'secrets' of Kenyan running have been reported time and again
🇰🇪
Run hills as often as you can through your normal day to day running and reap the benefits
awesome.

« on: October 27, 2017, 02:16:36 pm »Well said! Australia has a similar culture of masculinity. It's not cool to be skinny, which is probably coz 60%+ of the population is classified as either overweight or obese. http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/2016/02/24/australia-obesity-statistics_n_9154422.html
damn didn't know it was like that over there too .. probably not too many places in the world where being thin is as frowned upon as the US, so sucks that's the case for AU as well.
Being skinny/thin just bothers some men, so damn much. It's astonishing.. I'm sure most of them aren't envious at all, they look at you like you are just inferior & a disgrace to being a man.
When I look at Mo Farah or Kipchoge etc, I see power & strength. Other people see weakness, "refugee", "female", etc. Meanwhile these guys are freaks of nature athletically, and their training is on par with the toughest in the world. Just crazy how people's minds work.QuoteSame as if you video yourself dunking or lifting some people will criticize you but deep down it's mainly that their envious that they either don't have the confidence or athleticism to do the same feat.
ya there's this weird reaction from envious people .. not saying all people who "hate" or criticize are envious, some of them just genuinely think someone is stupid or inferior for doing whatever it is they are doing .. but for the truly envious ones, that reaction is just incredible to me. For example, if i'm out running and I see someone faster than me, which is extremely rare, i'd be happy af. That'd be exciting to me, i wouldn't be mad, jealous, annoyed .. Just like in dunking; when I was jumping high & landing some nice dunks, I didn't care at all if someone could jump higher or dunk better, in fact, it motivated me and made me excited. I'd also ask them, hey man want to be in my video?! For example, the lion swag video with the dude who could jump out of the gym.. I have a bunch of other videos where I feature people landing all kinds of dunks, simple ones to amazing ones. I guess I just don't identify at all with these "hater" types, they are mysterious to me.
In the words of Conor McGregor, man.. whada buncha fooqn biches.
You're the man! If everyone possessed the same attitude as yours the world be such a more tolerant/better place.
hah thanks.

« on: October 27, 2017, 05:55:20 am »My dad's new "thing" with my manliness:
He seems to hate the fact that i'm wearing compression shorts & pants. I think it really bugs him. He's made statements such as the following:
- those pants look really funny, if a bunch of Harley drivers see you in those pants they would laugh
- lots of people are wearing those compression shorts, female tennis players for example, wear them under their skirts
As if I give a fu*k about what a Harley driver thinks of me, or anyone for that matter.
I mean we don't talk much, but you can tell it bothers him .. just like when i'm skinny, it REALLY bothers him (and bothered him when I was growing up, high school, college, dunking etc).
Also FWIW, his father really damaged him with stuff like that.. But he's unable to recognize it.
Just thought i'd do a special post on that, because to me that's just some serious weakness on his part.
Also, I think it's important to shatter any inhibition from ones training in public, etc.. like how you may look, what you are doing may look funny to people etc.. If it's for the better, if it's effective etc, you just have to kill that inhibition.
I remember way back, when I was dunking pretty impressively, I had a bad session at some street court. Some dude actually flipped out on me, just out of nowhere saying "man you can't dunk for shit, why do you have a camera out here" etc etc.. For some reason, it really bothered him that I had the audacity to film myself trying to dunk at this court.. Keep in mind, I was actually a few courts down from him. Anyway, a few weeks later I saw him at my favorite indoor gym, and I could see him mirin' from afar, as I absolutely crushed this exact dunk session:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed5VRE0lOXU
He didn't say shit to me that day..
