Bursting the Bazemore Bubble

[Orion Bailey]

I know what ignorant means. It was just frustrating because I actually agreed with you for the most part yet it was a misunderstanding so I was being called all that. It didn't even come down to experience vs. lack of experience or anything like that, it was just a misunderstanding over what we were actually discussing.

When I talk about my experience with basketball, I try to only bring it up to say "I know what I'm talking about"... Not to try to discredit someone else as if they don't know what they're talking about. That was my issue with that.

I'll try to stop using "smh" or other text lingo because to me, it's just banter. But I understand how it can be considered condescending towards others.

Honestly. I could give a shit about all that.
You cant insult me man. That wasn't my point.

Ive honestly never considered the word ignorant an insult so i thought we were still just talking back and forth. When i said really and your clueless. I was reiterating being ignorant on the subject. Not in general.

I find very few things insulting aNd thats my ignorance in not knowing most aren't the same.

I don't want this to sound like I'm defending anyone BUT...

Do some of you not interact with younger people in your lives? Most young people couldn't care less about how much experience you have because they think they have it all figured out. Every single one of us thought we knew it all too when we were @BonesJones' age.

My 16 year old daughter wants to be a chef. She doesn't even like to cook. In her mind being a chef means you get to have your own TV show and be famous and eventually open your own glamorous restaurant. I can't even have an honest conversation about how hard it is to actually be a chef and that she'll probably be stuck being a line cook at Red Robin (not that there's anything wrong with that) or something. She immediately tunes me out if I try to talk to her about it. She thinks she knows what is best for her and it's her life, sometimes people need to experience it for themselves to learn. You can't just tell someone that your opinion is more valid because you have experience. Even if that's true the other person doesn't want to hear it.

I don't see any other person's opinion on here being invalidated because of their age. You guys know that Bones doesn't like having his opinion devalued because of how old he is. None of us would take that well if you were constantly being discredited in here simply because of a lack of experience, especially if you feel like you do have experience in the topic being discussed.

Begs the question-
Why have you been over them if he has none?

Your twists (and dreams) are sickening.

And yet your kids look like me and not you.

Gross, dude. Just stop. It’s not even close.

My youngest is such a particular bitch, she’d disown you if you were actually her father.

Brutal, I know. But that’s why we love her.

Being a you own your own restaurant or are head chef somewhere is literally one of the hardest fields to get into and stick to on the planet. I wish your daughter well, thats a very tough industry.

The rest of it, I basically, “yup!”

This is gonna open this whole thing right back up again. This isn't about his opinion and it was never about him being young. It was about his statement.
Got to quit twisting things into something they never were.
Go back and read page 3 or 4 and get back yo us.

KJ, I dont want to argue, but you do this all the time.

It's really difficult for me to talk to her about how a restaurant business most likely won't work when she just says "Well, people said the same thing to you about your business and you started it anyway!" How am I supposed to give her advice I didn't listen to?

Ground her.

Or make her join the forum.

Perhaps let her actually experience some of the restaurant business to see what it's like in-person rather than what she's seen on television.

Unless I'm missing something the first post that made it personal is this one by you KJ:

This is ludicrous. You even supposedly played the game. Just because you want to be right? It shows a lack of experience and that you have even less experience teaching or coaching. The world and people in it just don’t work that way. Even at the professional level.

This kind of stuff is exactly what I was talking about. People don't respond well when you tell them they're wrong because of a lack of experience.

 

[hoopsjock]

I've tried, she doesn't want anything to do with the food industry right now.

To be clear I own a retail store not a restaurant.

Good question.
I told my daughter to go after her dream early and as hard as she could. Yes her dream changed about 6 times. She will have another i figure eventually if this one she is on now doesn't work. I figure as long as she is still working on something then all is good. It's when she stops trying anything that i will get concerned.

Damn, that's mean.

Yes, I agree. I'm not going to stop her or force her to choose a different profession.

Thank you for seeing why you should just let Bones have his opinion and let him figure it out himself if he's wrong.

Oh. That's kind of tough to help when she doesn't want to try to experience it at the moment.

Retail can be tough, but also very rewarding. I worked in retail while attending PSU many moons ago. Good luck to you, buddy.

Why can't I see the hair on the man who made this post?

So you say this was my doing and you missed all of this?

Flex flow offense that doesn't flow.

But Bazemore should be better here.

Part of the non flow is the inability of a wing to hit a shot.
Yes i agree Bazemore should be better here and because of that you will see better flow and less high PnR because teams will have to guard the arc better against this team now.

I dont believe that at all. Those wings can:

- Move
- Cut
- Screen on ball
- Screen off ball (multiple variations)

All those things would help the offense flow but instead, they stand at the 3pt line.

Even with Hood out there, the offense didnt really "flow". Even the year Harkless shot 40% and Aminu shot 36%, the offense didnt really flow...

What a gross over simplification

Oh wait, here comes JDC to say that things are more complex and the wings that cant shoot have to stand still at the 3pt line and we have to ISO!

You said absolutely nothing.

Then the coaching staff isnt doing their job. Its not hard to coach a screen. If you cant get players to set proper screens, thats on you.

If you seriously think i started this then i don't know what to tell you?
