In light of the recent news about apolisoc_9...

Let's list his best takes. Since op is a new poster maybe he wants to hear about them?

Parker sucks......that wasn't a take it was looking at the stats. The argument was whether Parker was going to recover in the spring. Which he did and then didn't. This year he did. If we cut Parker last year imagine how this year would go. If he got hurt as he so voraciously prayed for we'd be toast.

Kawhi is good......He never produced proof that he was one of the first pro kawhi fans. He's awol in the original draft thread. He said he preferred ariza and Beal. Betting on a young player to improve is kind of tame shooting fish in a barrel territory, but I will give props for calling Leonard a stealth mvp candidate in 2016.

Duncan.....This confuses me, because it was obviously trolling when he called him a stat padder, but then he laid out his case as to why Duncan sucked (clogging the lane that his favorite player had the right to). Sounds like someone really does hate the greatest pf of all time as well a as the greatest franchise pg.

Lma.....1000% wrong on when he'd sign and how he plays

Fan duel...He lost money playing basketball fan duel. Like consistently..He never posted a win and several times he complained about his scores, look out it up. Ask him.

Muslims...way all over the place here. Can't call this one.

E-friends...consistently praised some of the worst posters.

What have I missed?

The e-friends thing is by far his biggest (and possibly only) accomplishment. You pretty must listed all his "basketball takes," so you can see how much he actually understands the sport. Honestly him and his buddies are probably this forum's most interesting case studies, psychologically speaking. Like almost every one of their behaviors I've learned about in a lecture here or a YouTube video there. The most fascinating thing for me is that even though they type like small children, they're very clearly ~16-26. You can watch them be timid and afraid when they're faced with a new opinion by someone, and then the next time completely overcompensate with aggression and " got" and fruity emoticons. Like the kid in elementary school who got picked on too much and lashed out, except they're all that kid. And through the magic of the Internet, they found each other, and now they bully other people, including sports millionaires. Fascinating really, like a nature do entary from BBC. There's one or two people genuinely trolling, and the rest just play pretend. It's very obvious who is doing what.

When you really paid attention to Apo, it was obvious how much he really cared about others' opinions, and how much he sought after approval. Him "trolling" was a way for him to fit in. It was interesting watching him go on about player fans, while hating on literally every player on the Spurs not named Kawhi. Interesting because he would textually masturbate players like Curry and Westbrook; the biggest player fan of them all, and because of how insecure he was that people might think he wasn't 100% Kawhi all the time. So threads and more threads to convince others and mostly himself that he always thought Kawhi would be super amazing hero. Look up the way Filipinos idolize celebrities and being "the man". It is very much a cultural thing.

Meanwhile you have da bom, who has the intellectual and emotional maturity of a toddler, but gives glimpses here and there that he is ~15-19ish. You can see the father/family estrangement in the way he talks. You can see kids at school bullying him, and how tough it was for him to make friends by the way he bullies others and quickly defends the internet friends he has. He comes across as an American youth by his overcompensating aggression, but it's obvious how much a facade it is by the way his arguments end up boiling down to " got", emoticon, and constant spamming.

I could go on all day, Spurstalk is an "A+++ great seller would buy from again" level spectator sport when it comes to some of the personalities.

[K...]

Quality take. I posted something similar comparing their trolling to the autistic mass shooters like Dylan rf. Luckily this isn't a gun forum.
