Richard Jefferson eats weird things and smack talks about San Antonio

Oakland is a crime infested hole

None of the Warriors players live in Oakland

None of the Warriors players live in Oakland

I had an uncle that owned an apartment highrise in Oakland. My grandmother had half a floor to herself. This was ages ago.
I would (I was a child then) go to the roof and pick tar bubbles during the summer.

15 years later, the place was sold, my uncle and grandmother long since gone... I went back and the whole place was entirely different.
So wild.

I used to be able to walk all over the block without a care in the world as a kid. When I went back... It was a demilitarized zone.
Sad. I had such nice memories.

I worked in Oakland for a few days back in 2011 or 2012 (I think) at a customer (doing audit work). I stayed at the downtown Oakland Marriott. The hotel building actually housed the practice facility and team offices of the Golden State Warriors.

I saw crazy people trying to get into it with actual COPS just blocks from the hotel.

I was elevator riding and went up to the top floor or two where the team offices were. One of the young season ticket reps visited with me for a little while and was really nice and friendly. Just that short while back the Warriors were literally not on the radar. Now the franchise is entering a twilight of its dominance. For most teams (except the Spurs) a 6 or 7 year run is a long one before the rebuilding has to happen.

Anyway, Oakland's metro trains were a short distance from the hotel and it was a mass of pretty scary people - that area was literally adjacent to Oakland Alemeda Stadium and the Oral arena. Definitely some people with mental problems were just roaming around the public transit area.

The Warriors are bye bye in the car car to San Francisco now. The old practice facility in Oakland was a place were you don't venture out too much.

Remember when "the pic" was leaked? One of the GOAT upstairs threads...There were even some spurs fans defending it, iirc

I think I saw some of the de-militarized spots around the warehouse district. Some nice hotels and interesting restaurants were available, but the tough areas are very close by.

I would say Baltimore was the scariest city I've visited. Oakland would be right up there as well.

And they’ll be much better for it. Just like the Spurs would provide a much better fan experience with a better location for their arena

[Mr. Body]

Thats because hes a sexual. Gays have a tendency to put weird things in their mouths and talk like they dont stink.

Not as many weird things as your mom.

Oh Ehm Gee.
I hope you Lakers fans are proud of yourselves.

RJ was kind of a tease, I think that was hard for us to take. His time in San Antonio wasn’t a total disaster. The biggest frustration for those of us that remember was that he’d have 6 lousy games, then give us a glimmer of hope like he’s got his groove with a 18 pt 6 rebound game on 7-11 shooting. Then, he’d follow it up with another 8 pt, 2-7 shooting night. Remember, the guy spent several seasons in San Antonio, if he completely sucked, he’d have been gone via trade, release, or something. They even restructured his contract and held on for a couple seasons. But he kept teasing us fans by acting like he was finally clicking then he’d go back to playing like a role player.

Remember that we were all expecting another star or at least a sidekick to the big 3. For the right price and expectation, he would have been remembered as a solid Spur. But the contract we traded for was enormous and he had a reputation for being an above the rim high volume scorer

I started my career working for PwC doing financial audits a bit everywhere including 1 month in Alger during ramadan in August tough

Best thing to do there is just not have a pass port, if you're a US Citizen they can't send you abroad and they can't fire you over not being able to leave the country.

It's called Brokeland for a reason. Nobody of class really wants to associate with Oakland around there.


The pro athletes generally live in places like Napa.

The absolute best part about that pic is the one drink with all the straws.

Yes. Finance and not accounting . Your gig oversea sounds more
Intense than Oakland .

Do you think TD and RJ ever hooked up, tbh?

Besides RJ and Luke Walton I don't recognize any of the others. The one on the right looks like a Strange one even for that group .
