I can’t really say Shawn Kemp is relevant to today’s NBA but as a kid who used to watch him dunk over everyone back in the day I can say that I’m a little saddened by this news. It’s looking like he may be doing a decade or more in prison, as a result of the shooting, but the details are still somewhat unknown. However, having footage of him, pulling the trigger, isn’t going to do him any favors. https://twitter.com/thenbacentral/status/1633801725105643522Yeah, Shawn Kemp was a very athletic player in his prime. By the way, the article on the NBA site says he shot in self-defense because someone stole his stuff and shot at him. Also, it states that he has already been released from jail without charges. So even though the investigation is not over yet, I think Kemp can avoid serious consequences because of this shooting incident. Yes, that is the good news, the it's self defense on his part as it was reported that he shot to retrieved what has been stolen from him, so he was released and no prison time. Of course who will forget him as Supersonics, very athletic during his prime, unfortunately, just like the best players of the 90's him and Gary Payton will have to face Michael Jordan in that era and we all know that the GOAT is 6/6 in the finals. As a young kid watching Kemp I won't ever forget him and the sonics. Not to mention the countless amounts of Kemp rookies during the junk card era. I haven't read too much into it but I hope it really was in self defense, too many people falling from the Graces after they leave the sport. Just reminded me of Payton and how hard that team played. Hated when the Knicks had to play them out west. |

I see that btc almost hit 25k$ this morning and i believe that if btc rise 25k$ most of the altcoins will also rise or follow btc trend, so i think this time will be the very best time to decide what altcoins can give us profit in short term investment if you have any suggestions please extend or let me know.
Be careful trying to buy alts off of bitcoins tail. Most times they rise the same amount but your downside risk is much higher. In this type of market you are better off just buying bitcoin. Or if you are going to buy altcoins don't buy them for short term gains, you will lose that battle. We still have a long way to go before any sort of bull run assembles. |

1-3 are basically the same. If something sounds too rediculous or too good to be true it typically is. If anything promises a crazy return it's 100% a pyramid scheme. Funny thing is most people who put theor money in know it is but are too greedy to just sit on the sidelines. This makes these projects viable and we will forever be in the circle of pyramid schemes.

Sports arbitrage is basically when you make profit from matches regardless of the outcome of those matches just by taking advantage of odd difference between book makers. Odd difference on the other hand occur as a result of error in setting the odds by the bookmakers.
Real hard to get anything real from arbitrage. You can spend all day bouncing from sports games, to sites ,etc. I don't think it's worth the squeeze. Back in the day it was a little easier, with all the tracking software by the time there is an opportunity people have already grabbed it and it levels out. |

What do you all think about the Warriors vs. Memphis game tomorrow?
Both teams are on a losing streak, and Morant is still not going to play due to an indefinite suspension. Therefore, I believe the Warriors have the edge to win the game. Although these two teams are rivals and love to play against each other, the Grizzlies missing their best player is a significant disadvantage in my opinion.
Therefore, I would bet on GSW -2.5
The Golden State Warriors got more edge in this game because their main line-up is healthy and alive especially the Big Three, Wiggins and GP2 might not play in the game as of now but they can still manage against the Grizzlies who are missing a lot of their key players especially in their defense capabilities as well as their offense as Clarke and Adams are still ruled out. GSW -2.5 is reasonable enough. As a matter of fact, I got them on my list for the games later. Warriors -2.5 vs Grizzlies Kings -2 vs Knicks Hornets -3.5 vs Pistons I'm leaning the other way. GS stink on the road. Gonna take the Grizzlies-2.5 at home and taking knicks +2 on the road. They are one of the best road teams this year think this matchup works well. Then I like 2 other home teams. Give me orlando -3 at home tonight. And last gimme the Bucks -9.5 against the Nets. My darkhorse to dropped completely out of even the playin! |

the good thing about him is that when he does play, he still delivers his usual production.
Because he is actually being able to perform well whenever he is eventually being able to play, I believe that they should give him enough rest so that when he is able to play, he is performing great. Now if they do not give him proper rest, he is going to be more injured and he will also not be able to perform well when he is playing. Now if this is unacceptable for the team, and they want to replace him, it is totally understandable. But if they want to have him, they will have to make some sacrifices. The Suns have the liberty to give Durant more rest since they are in the top 4 in the Western Conference, which means their playoff spot is relatively secure at the moment. In fact, the Suns only struggled when Booker was injured and out for a while. Now that he is back, they will be able to continue on their winning path while Durant waits to deliver big-time come playoffs. I think they were hoping to get a good flow going. Everyone knows they were gonna male it in it was merely how fluid will the team be if Durant jumps in kid playoffs. Durant just can't stay on the floor. Generational talent but does no good being the best guy who can't suit up. Shame was looking forward to seeing them all together. Just got a.little taste and poof, gone. |

Welp there goes my giants off to a rocking start. Signed Daniel Jones to a 4 year $160mil contract. Really 125 think 35mil of it is incentive based.
The biggest part of that is it allowed them to franchise tag saquon, they can't tag both so they needed jones to sign cause his tag would have been massive. Saquons was only 10mil.
Shoen killing it already 😀

Of course it's the right time to buy. As hard as it is would you rather buy low or buy when it's high. Sounds simple but physiology between people amd money doesn't allow for this type of thinking. Everyone wants to buy when things are rocking. The old Warren buffet addage:
Buy when everyone is fearful (low)
Sell when people are greedy (high)

Pretty emotional scene at Pau Gasol’s jersey retiring ceremony. Plenty of tears in the house seeing Pau’s Jersey hanging next to Kobe’s. The picture of Pau looking up with tears in his eyes is enough to put a lump in anyone’s throat. I’m glad that their jerseys get to hang next to each other forever. They were great friends and it still shows.
I always envisioned kobe's jersey hanging alone. He was a loner and his own person thought symbolically that would be cool, like no one comes close to kobe. My favorite kobe/Pau moment of all time has to be in the Olympic semifinals US vs Spain. If anyone has not scene the clip from the opening play where kobe absolutely annihilated Pau ypu have to see it. Mamba in full force that day. |

Today morning received the weeks payment. I had the payment of the previous week. Altogether it was around 0.0055 in the wallet. The first bet was planned to be 0.0005 BTC. Instead of placing 0.0005 BTC, I misplaced 0.005 BTC and the bet was lost. This was completely unexpected and it is my fault. If the bet have won my wallet balance could've turned 0.007 BTC, now it is an empty wallet. Have any of you encountered such wrong bets and won/lost   Happens all the time I bet. Especially with bitcoin or any crypto using a lot of digits. Tons of gambling and drinking alcohol too so even without all the digits people make silly mistakes when boozing. I guess the odds would be slightly in the house's favor but I bet it evens itself out a lot. |

I'm gonna go against the grain here and take 2 dogs at home
Miami +2 at home tough not taking them getting points here.
And give me the Pelicans+2 at home against Dallas. I'm not buying Dallas, no flow so far on that team.
Then 2 favorites I like
Suns -13.5 taking Suns the rest of the season
And Nuggets-9 also riding the Nuggets here.
Good luck everyone!

According to a recent Twitter post by @Finbold, a financial news and information platform, Shib has emerged as the most popular token held by Ethereum whales. Upon encountering this news via CoinMarketCap's news feed this morning, I had originally intended to sell my Shib. However, the announcement has led me to believe that Shib could perform exceptionally well this year. As a Shib enthusiast, I would encourage others to hold onto their tokens as we may witness prosperous times ahead, and our patience may result in significant reward.
This sounds like you are just shilling which is fine and all but what males ypu think shib is going to outsurpass every other token? Those numbers are skewd since they basically gave a ton away. The whole burning of tokens tells me this is just another long scam in an effort to raise the price. Any serious project doesn't need to do this. Good luck with your shib |

I am new to the crypto world and still learning the basics to understand how it operates. A friend who is an artist introduced me to NFTs, which he said is similar to Bitcoin. I want to know how NFT drawings can be invested in Bitcoin, but first, I need to understand how to create NFTs that have crypto value. After discussing it with my friend, I searched for help online, but instead of understanding it, I am getting more confused about it.
Do NFTs have the same value as Bitcoin? I have read that investing in Bitcoin is a good business opportunity, especially for people in West Africa who may not have many job opportunities. One can be self-employed by trading and investing in the crypto market and assets, including NFTs.
As a newbie in the forum, I have read other articles about Bitcoin, but I still need a good guideline on the crypto world, Bitcoin, and NFTs.
They are 2 VERY different things. Bitcoin is a currency, nfts are not. If ypu ask me I think the valuable nft fad will come to a close soon. There will forever be a market for them but the moon prices everyone seen will be a thing of the past. Tell me why you need to own a piece of digital art that really isn't art? Focus in on bitcoin and start from there. |

The return of Steph Curry didn't end with a happy ending. It seems like they are catching up on their rotation. Klay Thompson's performance is almost the same as what he always did but it's Jordan Poole who I think is changing whenever Steph is back. This should not happen. Consistency must be preserved. Then, Jonathan Kuminga played only 13 minutes which again is surprising after he played 32 minutes against the Pelicans and scored 19 points. The big reason why they won that game. 17 games left, they need to fix this issue or else they will be in the play-in tournament before they realize it.  There is not much of a gap between the 5th to the 8th seed. On their final 17 games, 10 of them will be played on the road. If they will not do something to at least be better on the road, it will not be a good sign for the Warriors. On that game against the Lakers, one thing that they can't stop is Anthony Davis, and that's the reason why they lost. I mean how can you let Davis score 39 points with only 3 attempts on the three-point area? That's how awful the defense of the Warriors is. They have Looney yes. They have Green yes, but still they are lacking something defensively. Expect some adjustments on their next game. They might give Kuminga more minutes like you said. They might give Poole more minutes like you said. With Wiggins still out, it will be a hard time for the Warriors, but I'm hoping he will come back soon or at least on the playoffs. Knicks be killing it. No brunson on the road in Boston, no problem. Knicks are becoming the team in the east no one wants to face in the playoffs. History aside this team is winning in so many different ways. Inside, outside, defense, etc. Last night's thriller in Boston was amazing. What a crazy game. Onward and upward from here. Really think the 3 hole is attainable.
They are 9-0 since they acquired Josh Hard. Is acquiring Hart boost the morale of the team? What did he bring to the Knicks and why they are on a winning streak since acquiring him? Kidding aside, Quickley had a good night with his career high 38 points and he played 55 minutes while Randle got 31 points and Barrett also got 29 points. On the other hand, the Celtics had 2 chances to win the game, but Tatum missed on an open close range shot at the end of the first overtime, and Horford's three is just an inch away from going in and win the game. Good game for both teams, but the Knicks are rolling it since acquiring Hart. I mean hart is a nice piece but he has to be good luck 9-0 since we got him lol. He brings defense and rebounding from the guard position which is nice. Also helps he is one of jalen brunsons good friends. They played together at Villanova and won a natty together. That chemistry was already there from day one since brunson is the pg. Made sense to pick him up. |

On before now gambling was seen as a dirty habit and was painted black in the society because way back the society believes any gambler have so many bad habits too like doing drugs which most gamblers was mafias not just mafias but rich people .But in this present world now gambling is seen as a business which both young (+18) and old part in which in the old times gambling was base most times about money wasn’t base on sport but now is modernize into different kind of sport that why in west Africa there are so many gambling and betting companies because is been accepted by the public now as a medium of making extra cash basically gambling to me was for men but now you can see woman parting in gambling games which everyone in that habit believes each day he/she must make more returns than he/she has spent to stake just as an entrepreneur knows that risk management of any business he/she is operating,a gambler knows that their is high risk in every stake but their believes so much in good future that good must always come by that no matter the amount a gambler loses believes his coming will earn that triple times .So my question now is that can someone use gambling as a means of earning living?
There are people out there that gamble for a living. I wouldn't say it's a good idea to but people do it. Because there are no guarantees it's a risky life choice since you can easily get bankrupt and end up on the streets. For that matter if you have a family I wouldn't recommend it. For the most part you hear about people's good stories but never hear about the losses. Keep your day job and gamble for fun. Much easier on your mind as well, less stress. |

After previous drop down SOL price gained kinda artificially the price.
Sol can go to re-test previous lows.
Sol can touch 12-15 price range again.
After previous crash of SOL i saw a lot instutions money inflow i guess they want to take it back from the retail those who bought in by fomo.
Whatever the case Will be Im short with SOL now and market lose the bullish grip Im expecting the 12-15price really.
Reason for that becouse price of SOL been pushed up " kinda artificially"
Usually i dont trade but when i see good opportunity then i trade only Im not trader but more like Dca investor.
I have my own style : "dca until support and resitance by % "
So If i have time i check markets what to trade. But i know it's bit of risky i'll better just do the dca like all the instutions does it
Everything follows bitcoin. If bitcoin moons so does the alt market and if btc crashes so does the alt market. Not to say individually coins can't counter that trend but for the most part that's how things go. The altcoin market just crashes harder and moons higher. Much more volatile than bitcoin but if you hit it right you can get a good pump. Lots being talked about sol might have to check it out. |

I want to ask everyone, now the number of altcoins is increasing and the prices are various, do you know, in your opinion, what altcoins are still cheap now but have good potential for the future?
I want to hear an explanation from you?
Just a heads up this is probably the worst way to find out decent projects that are still undervalued or "cheap". Ypu are just going to get people shilling theor bags to ypu whether they are good or not. I advise you to do your own research, not only here but the vast amount of information that's out there. Too any times people have blindly taken advise from bag skillets and have lost theor money. Good luck weeding through all the scams hopefully you finsld a worthy project or 2. |
