Not a ton of money but a cool gesture by the league. Probably should have done a little more tbh.

This is great news and I hope it helps these guys.

A step in the right direction.

^ thank you.

Perspective: The NBA is coming off a massive financial year, with revenue topping $10 billion for the first time and basketball-related income reaching $8.9 billion, another record. -espn

[wildbill2u]

Instead of knocking it out of the park with a generous payout, the league and the players associaton are gonna receive some deserved criticism for being late to the table and bringing so little when they have so much money individually and as a league. There are many players who could have funded this themselves out of pocket change, and as far as the league owners go, they are cheapieskates. 100 million wouldn't have hurt anyone and would have sounded so much better PR wise.

No it's the same time.
Retired bro's couldn't even get 400 a month until a week ago. Or whenever the 1st checks are gonna roll in.
Do you think the old ABA and NBA players played a part in the ginormous owners worth and player salaries are today?

If nothing else the ABA brought the pro basketball experience to the attention of fans in many parts of the country that had never seen what great athletes these guys are and whole new sections of the country became basketball fans--such as the San Antonio fans. Whoever thought one of the best and most profitable basketball teams would arise and thrive in S. Texas or anywhere in Texas like Dallas and Houston. Those cities and the State of Texas were not considered basketball territory by the oligarchs of the old NBA. The ABA fought it out with the established league and set up a few teams that would survive the merger.

But here's a questions. What about the players who were ABA players for the teams that were incorporated into the NBA or players who got picked up by NBA teams for a few years? Suppose they didn't survive in the merged league for the required number of years as active NBA players in order to collect an NBA pension? I bet there were a lot of those guys because the average number of years for a pro player is probably around 5 years? Suppose they had three in the ABA and two in the NBA? I guess they will get the pension for the three ABA years but nothing for the NBA years???

I don’t know about full stop mentally ill but certainly your behavior speaks to something bigger. You find value in being obtuse and combative. You come here and use this forum as a place to vent and antagonize strangers because it makes you feel better. You think that speaks to a sound, well rounded and stable mental condition? I don’t. No doubt you have unresolved personal issues.

As far as the other fucktard ducks. It’s about the same. Dude comes here, on a forum for fans of basketball and this team but can’t stop himself form injecting political diarrhea because some people can’t function without espousing intolerance for one group due to the mythical belief that the other group is salt of the earth and infallible.

Nothing about being an absolutist like ducks speaks to any kind of rational thinking.

For him he’s just old and this world has long ago passed him up. You on the other hand have been hurt by someone. Most likely a female or family member. One or both of your parents didn’t give you the affection you desperately needed and you probably took that out on a girlfriend or spouse when you got older. She or multiple females eventually dumped you. Then you blamed her/them… and here we are. You need to project that anger here instead of in the mirror.

Nothing to it. If you think being an insufferable cunt on a basketball forum is the right way to live your life your way off your rocker.

The ole I’m just responding act. Nope. Not gonna fly. I’ve seen you act like an asshole here for a good long time. So even if your point held weight, which it doesn’t, you still clearly have a problem.

You wanna tell me that you’ve spent 14 years here(if this is even your original account) simply responding in like?

That alone in a vacuum speaks to some kind of disturbing triggered compulsion and need to seek out confrontation. So either way you got real world issues. You’re masking for inadequacies or by your own admission you’re seeking out confrontation as a means to project anger for something else. No one spends 14 years fighting the internet on a basketball forum because they’re a well rounded and grounded individual.

If any of what you say is true you’re the worlds biggest piece of shit or you’re exactly what I say you are. Either way you need real life change.

14 years according to you. You’ve lost a 14 year war and haven’t figured out how to move on.

There’s no justification for your behavior.

Your take away from that is to create a side argument about alt accounts absolutely speaks volumes about your inability to recognize and acknowledge your behavior.

Who cares about alt accounts. You’ve admitted to spending over a decade here fighting with people. Not discussing basketball, not supporting the team, not engaging like a fan or enthusiast.

Just you roaming around looking to antagonize and create confrontation.

You’re doing it right now in this thread and I’ve got you on the hook. This is your safe place. Bickering with strangers.

Can’t imagine you have an ounce of real world success at any level and based on your responses here you never will.

Absolutely you admitted it. You’re still here doing it right now. You might not be as bad as ducks when it comes to politics but you’re easily one of the most confrontational and belligerent members here.

Neither of you contribute much if anything of value. This place has had enough of the two of you menstruating in every thread you enter. Maybe fucking dial it back and be more productive for once.

So I’ll give you my final observation. You’re self aggrandizing if not egotistical. So I’ll concede the final word to you because we both know I could easily keep you going in this thread for a good few days.

Enjoy the last word. It’ll give you that false sense of accomplishment you seek here regularly.

Well I guess I can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for you.

Many ego driven complexes come from an underlying sense of insecurity. In his case he’s clearly acting out from a lack of approval and positive reinforcement. So he compensates for that by being a self aggrandizing asshole.

You see this a lot in people who come from broken homes. Missing parent or something. Competitive sibling? Also a lack of attention from the opposite sex. It’s basically cries for attention. Think a fat chic who over compensates by dressing like a slut for attention while bad mouthing other females. Not to be mistaken for a confident individual who is body positive. They generally don’t tear other people down to make themselves stand out like koriwhat does.

He can stfu with the needless insults and political bullshit and have a more productive conversation. He does those things to get a rise out of people to make himself feel better. Of the issues you’re confused with that should be the easier of the two to understand.

The risk is that in some cases guys like this graduate to mass shooter if their needs aren’t fulfilled. There certainly could be steps in between such as wife beater, child abuser or even abductor.

No. Not my primary source of income. However I've studied and have a few years of college in that area.

I wonder if a "Flame War" Thread could be constructed for those who consistently engage in this nonsense. They could enjoy themselves there and not interrupt the discussions on Spurs basketball with infantile arguments.

So we looked into the shooters online presence and yes there was a long history of extreme rantings and intolerance. He was red flagged some time ago and we knew it was a matter of time before he took his rhetoric and rage to the literal streets.

Sometimes all it takes is for someone to speak up and put people like this on law enforcements radar. This particular shooter frequently engaged in insults, bigotry and misogyny on a local sports message board. Completely unhinged screaming and ranting. He was also banned from Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for spreading lies and propaganda.

Homeland Security will now be taking any further questions and SAPD would like to thank the community for stepping in and alerting us to what was obviously a precursor to violence.
