The Blazers are esports now

[THE HCP]

And you wonder why people target your career...

What does the mean? You were calling out us older posters for being old. You used advanced age as a bad thing. Just letting the youngins know that with age comes some positive things as well.

My number #1 thing I'd want to do is play basketball. I don't get any money or blowjobs for it. Millions of people prefer to play music, or play a sport over video games. You're making stuff up. 90% of people do stuff because of blowjobs, making millions, and to stroke their ego? What???

How many failed musicians and pro athletes are there?? My guess would be millions.... I'm not saying it's not a passion. But my guess is gaming will become even more popular than it is right now to the average kid. Like Mick Jagger said. "What can a poor boy do but play in a rock 'n roll band?!" My guess is in the future it will be to play video games.

I'd rather be old and ballin' than young and beggin'.

You might not like video games but honestly I'm not sure what your issue is. Playing, being the coach, as well as the owner, and the player is fucking awesome. It is very gratifying to be the one calling the pick-and-roll with Dame/Nurk, then roll all in Dwight Howard's face. It's also very very gratifying to play an entire season developing your players making trades etc.

Some of y'all are really showing your age haha

I'm 40. I'm gonna game until my 150th birthday when my hands don't work and I have the fucking virtual reality chip installed. I've been playin' the hoop game since Double Dribble

I don't even like playing the actual games in 2k/Madden that much anymore, I just like being the GM in the season/franchise modes and trading and drafting players and seeing how well they play. Those damn games as well as old school Nba Live are most of the reason why I know who most of players from the nba in the last twenty years are.

It was a joke that you responded to with seriousness, bringing up your career, and then you wonder why people target your career. Haha.

That's a great part about those games. You literally don't have to play the actual game if you don't want to. Just be the GM.

Why would you bring up my career as something negative? What do you do for a living? Are you proud of what you do?

I didn't bring up your career as something negative. I didn't even bring up your career at all. You did.

The day a nerd can plug into his Xbox or Play Station and pull in seven figures and get BJ's from hot models. That's the end of competitive sports and music. That's why 90 per cent of people do anything. as well as the ego boost and status. The day I turn on ESPN to see that I will hang them up my fan viewership rights.

Bruh i watch doublelift on twitch. He makes $1000 on a slow day of streaming. And thats just donations. No telling how much ad money he's making. But pro LoL players make pretty good money. And they get all the hot asian poon a guy could need.

Looks like I need to start up an esports team. Get in on the ground floor.

No joke. Just watch a replay of last years worlds. They filled staple center with fans. Shit aint no joke. They might nkt make 20mil a year but all of them ive looked up are already worth over 1mil and none of them are older than mid 20s. Thats a pretty tight life. I wish i could get there but im ranked bronze 5 for life.

Eh. I'm too fucking old to be able to appreciate gaming technology on that level. I just bought a PS4 and I got the latest MLB The Show. It's going to take me a month to learn to play it well. I'll stick to watching Youtube videos of Drexler and the gang and my Steve McQueen movie collection. Sometimes a dog just can't learn new tricks. Sorry Sly.

I like watching and playing but it makes me feel old when my fingers dont work like theirs. I like when they have sports tape on their forearms and use hand warmers on stage. Shit is hilarious.
