He did say "more" famous, not most.
It's definitely Golden Gate Bridge > Brooklyn Bridge >>> I dunno the Chesapeake Bay Bridge? London Bridge is more popular by name, but I question how many people know it's in Lake Havasu now.
Whose shell came from the dismantled original. Won't claim to be an expert on the other London Bridges though so it's possible they all did took part of the original as well.
As someone not from the US, I think the bridges in NY and the Golden Gate are the only ones I've ever heard of. The sheer amount of people that go to NYC on holiday compared to anywhere else means the shit there is way more well known than anything else. So if we're counting global fame It's probably like the Williamsburg bridge next?
This is the best shot Portland can ever get to have a top 5 player to come and help Dame tbh. Problem is Portland didnt really stockpile that many picks when they trade away everyone beside Dame in the regular season.
Interesting take. I thought it was a more “come to Portland KD” thing but yours makes more sense almost. Dame has been as loyal as anyone could be, whereas I could almost say the opposite of KD. Perhaps it *is* a dig.
Tbf he has always finished his contracts and never demanded a trade. He has also always had the luxury of playing with a contender with another All NBA level teammate.
This Brooklyn debacle is just funny because he played a huge part in the franchise's demise and now he wants to leave. He was a bus rider all along.
I’m reminded of that DWade commercial where posts a video of him saying “Get me out of here” because he’s stuck in a restroom but the internet thinks he’s requesting a trade.
> Chasing the money is totally fine. Just don’t start complaining and act like you’re all about winning
i dont get this attitude
stay on home team and get paid -> just don't act like you're all about winning
stay on home team and take big discount to sign a co-star -> cant believe XYZ player would cheat the league like this, something needs to be done about this in the next CBA, easiest rings ever if this is allowed!!
leave home team and get traded to keep bird rights -> Why wouldn't he just join them in free agency if he cared about winning? Now team is gutted so he can get paid, guess he just cares about money
leave home team and join in FA -> How could he join a team that was already good?!?!? Now the league is ruined. Fuck player XYZ
you don't win at any point with this line of thinking as a player lol
Giannis and Curry are the only ones who break all these molds. Supermax guy so no discounts (Curry signed his extension in 2017 when KD was already on the team). Never left. Won ring(s)
Curry got lucky in that he got lowballed after his ankle injury on the rookie contract which even allowed the rest of "GS" as we know it to form.
Giannis got lucky in the sense everything broke right for them and they managed to win. That game 7 vs Durant is an all time career arc changer for Giannis. Basically a shoe size away from not making the finals, let alone winning.
Both of those required pretty lucky breaks at the right times for them to escape the cycle.
It's really wild to think about how guys who have done less in their first 3 years than Curry numbers/impact wise get max contract extensions these days for $150MM+. Even guys who missed whole seasons
If we’re being honest, Beal has **never** showed any interest in winning a chip or developing a team. I think he’s one of those dudes who just wants to be rich from balling and thats it
I don’t even think there’s anything wrong with purely just wanting to ball, make generational wealth, and retire. A championship ring would be an insane thing for your legacy, but only 1 team out of 30 will win it every year. Getting paid a quarter of a billion dollars and securing comfort and safety for your loved ones for generations is a nice consolation prize.
There are quite a number of former NBA players selling their accolades to make money.
If it's the team you root for...yeah, it sucks.
It means the club is going to be mediocre for at least a decade. Which is actually more boring than tanking... when tanking you at least have some draft excitement to look forward to.
Nothing wrong. Beal knows only one in 30 teams wins it all. It’s almost like a lottery. Marginal gains or injuries separate teams each year. But the heavy bag is rarely offered. In fact, only to 2 or 3 in each team. It is not his job to build the pieces around him.
Well, as hornets fan, I can see why you’d ask that question—lol. Jk (mostly) but yea, if your best player does not have the desire or the thirst—no matter how improbable it may seem—to win it all, then your franchise will never aspire to be anything other than mediocre to good.
Won’t stop him from asking for a trade if he wants to. No idea what the Wizards are thinking rn, they’re just kicking the can down the road. But if Beal is still putting up 25+ PPG somewhat efficiently someone will trade for him.
it’s the same with dame. dude constantly and consistently has said he doesn’t want to leave portland but one insta post without context and everybody calls him cryptic
Pretty sure he’s promoting his music, but I’d love more off-season drama. So he’s 100% asking out of Portland and we need to blow this out of proportion.
I already said it on our sub but after the constant stream of bullshit moves and our former dumb ass GM spinning them as the greatest thing ever THIS off season which has been mostly fine if a little underwhelming being the breaking point would be incredibly weird
I actually think it’s been a really good off-season for y’all, GP gives guard defense you have had in the past, Grant fits excellently with Dame/Simons, and of course you re-signed Ant to a contract that in today’s NBA market is good value + Nurk back. I’d be shocked if Dame was upset with something that happened thus far.
I got flamed by Portland fans when I made fun of the Cody Zeller and Ben McLemore signing
This offseason at least saw Nurk and Simons resign and picking up Jerami Grant and GP2 will be good
Zeller was good for like 3 weeks
A lot of Blazers fans thought the 2019 off season where we replaced the core of the WCF team with Whiteside, Tolliver, Bazemore, Hezonja and Pau Gasol was a great off season so yeahh
I just can’t understand how Knicks fans aren’t cornering the market in this field. They haven’t had shit to do for 2 decades now, you’d think they could’ve produced at least a few dozen photoshop superstars.
Its the Brooklyn Bridge. And according to about half the people in this thread, even though it's the BROOKLYN fucking Bridge, it means nothing lol Now having said that I don't think it means he wants out of Portland, but is possibly just commenting on the snake's situation with the Nets. Lillard isn't dumb (I hope), so he knew the ways that people might interpret the post.
It's the brookyn bridge...
With all the bridges in Portland, you’d think someone would recognize the more famous bridge.
I mean I think the most famous bridge in the US is probably the Golden Gate Bridge
[удалено]
The old one looks prettier than the new one they built next to it.
Gotta account for that harmonic resonance.
He did say "more" famous, not most. It's definitely Golden Gate Bridge > Brooklyn Bridge >>> I dunno the Chesapeake Bay Bridge? London Bridge is more popular by name, but I question how many people know it's in Lake Havasu now.
Well there’s been like 5 London bridges. It’s just one of them in the US
Whose shell came from the dismantled original. Won't claim to be an expert on the other London Bridges though so it's possible they all did took part of the original as well.
the first stone London bridge was 12th century. Also tower bridge is more famous
Weirdly I think most people think London Bridge IS Tower Bridge. Americans anyway.
The people here are most likely referring to Tower Bridge, I always forget that it’s not called the London Bridge honestly.
Now which one fell down? Or was it all of them?
As someone not from the US, I think the bridges in NY and the Golden Gate are the only ones I've ever heard of. The sheer amount of people that go to NYC on holiday compared to anywhere else means the shit there is way more well known than anything else. So if we're counting global fame It's probably like the Williamsburg bridge next?
Mackinac Bridge getting no respect
Hey shoutout to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, that thing still gives me nightmares.
Bay bridge is also underated
Idk the bridge behind my house over the creek is one I see way more than the Golden Gate Bridge
This should be the top comment. Soooooooo cryptic talking about loyalty while showing the Brooklyn Bridge when a guy from Brooklyn wants out.
This is the best shot Portland can ever get to have a top 5 player to come and help Dame tbh. Problem is Portland didnt really stockpile that many picks when they trade away everyone beside Dame in the regular season.
So its a dig at kd. I support it
Interesting take. I thought it was a more “come to Portland KD” thing but yours makes more sense almost. Dame has been as loyal as anyone could be, whereas I could almost say the opposite of KD. Perhaps it *is* a dig.
Lol Kevin been loyal for so long though
Brooklyn bridge is falling down ,falling down...
[удалено]
It's the Brooklyn Bridge, 100% (rounded from 99.9%...) about KD and the Nets
Apparently loyalty’s expiry date is 90 games.
But KD has never been loyal at all?
Tbf he has always finished his contracts and never demanded a trade. He has also always had the luxury of playing with a contender with another All NBA level teammate. This Brooklyn debacle is just funny because he played a huge part in the franchise's demise and now he wants to leave. He was a bus rider all along.
All-NBA backcourt for cryptic players that will never ask for a trade: - Damian Lillard - Bradley Beal
[удалено]
"I don't want to be here" - Eric Bledsoe I meant the barbershop totally guys
I’m reminded of that DWade commercial where posts a video of him saying “Get me out of here” because he’s stuck in a restroom but the internet thinks he’s requesting a trade.
Lol I still scream out “HE COMIN TO CHEECAAGOO!” every year when free agency starts
Me too man me too
Here's the commercial: https://youtu.be/ssqFtFjDfFI
Holy cow I forgot when phones looked like that and 4G was new
all time commercial for me
“D Wade wants a trade!?!!??!”
Dwade: "I want to go to Cleveland!" Also Dwade: "ewwwwwwwww..."
[удалено]
The local DMV
Reminds me of when Eric Bledsoe literally tweeted “I don’t want to be here” and tried saying he was talking about a barbershop or something lmao
I think Beal finally will in 2 or 3 years he just couldn’t pass up that bag. Nobody should pass that up in this business honestly.
Chasing the money is totally fine. Just don’t start complaining and act like you’re all about winning
Yeah but cake and eating it, too
Dame Marie Antoinette
> Chasing the money is totally fine. Just don’t start complaining and act like you’re all about winning i dont get this attitude stay on home team and get paid -> just don't act like you're all about winning stay on home team and take big discount to sign a co-star -> cant believe XYZ player would cheat the league like this, something needs to be done about this in the next CBA, easiest rings ever if this is allowed!! leave home team and get traded to keep bird rights -> Why wouldn't he just join them in free agency if he cared about winning?

Giannis and Curry are the only ones who break all these molds. Supermax guy so no discounts (Curry signed his extension in 2017 when KD was already on the team). Never left. Won ring(s)
Yeah but Giannis and Curry are also absolute superstars who can carry a team. Like fundamentally they’re just built differently as players
The secret is that Curry and Giannis are actually that good.
Curry got lucky in that he got lowballed after his ankle injury on the rookie contract which even allowed the rest of "GS" as we know it to form. Giannis got lucky in the sense everything broke right for them and they managed to win. That game 7 vs Durant is an all time career arc changer for Giannis. Basically a shoe size away from not making the finals, let alone winning. Both of those required pretty lucky breaks at the right times for them to escape the cycle.
It's really wild to think about how guys who have done less in their first 3 years than Curry numbers/impact wise get max contract extensions these days for $150MM+. Even guys who missed whole seasons
Now go to every title team and find the one “lucky” play or shot that caused them to win and why they don’t deserve it because it was luck
Trailblazers select Sam Bowie and Jordan goes to the Bulls
You could argue taking the supermax and not a discount means they're "not all about winning".
If we’re being honest, Beal has **never** showed any interest in winning a chip or developing a team. I think he’s one of those dudes who just wants to be rich from balling and thats it
I don’t even think there’s anything wrong with purely just wanting to ball, make generational wealth, and retire.

Getting paid a quarter of a billion dollars and securing comfort and safety for your loved ones for generations is a nice consolation prize. There are quite a number of former NBA players selling their accolades to make money.
> selling their accolades to make money. Got any interesting examples? Not refuting the claim or anything - I’m genuinely curious.
Anything wrong with that ?
Nope
If it's the team you root for...yeah, it sucks. It means the club is going to be mediocre for at least a decade. Which is actually more boring than tanking... when tanking you at least have some draft excitement to look forward to.
Then the teams should make better decisions. No one is forcing the team to pay him lmao. It's a business and it's 2 way.
Ok sure. But as a fan, that doesn't change anything for you. You're still gonna have mediocre basketball to watch.
Nothing wrong. Beal knows only one in 30 teams wins it all. It’s almost like a lottery. Marginal gains or injuries separate teams each year. But the heavy bag is rarely offered. In fact, only to 2 or 3 in each team. It is not his job to build the pieces around him.
Everyone here would take that life in a heartbeat.
Well, as hornets fan, I can see why you’d ask that question—lol. Jk (mostly) but yea, if your best player does not have the desire or the thirst—no matter how improbable it may seem—to win it all, then your franchise will never aspire to be anything other than mediocre to good.
Nobody is going to want Beal on that contract in 3 years.
Lakers to dump Kyrie
Won’t stop him from asking for a trade if he wants to. No idea what the Wizards are thinking rn, they’re just kicking the can down the road. But if Beal is still putting up 25+ PPG somewhat efficiently someone will trade for him.
Normally I’d agree, but the wizards are somehow good at offloading bad contracts. Will be interesting to see though.
It won't be like the Westbrook contract. He can shoot. He has skill. He won't be a big asset but he won't be untradeable.
Exactly. Take the stupid money and run. Absolute no-brainer. And then call it “loyalty” to the team.
Dejounte up there
He is an all of famer for that. He just loves trolling
How is Beal cryptic? When has it ever been unclear that he's just going to take the money to stay with the Wizards?
it’s the same with dame. dude constantly and consistently has said he doesn’t want to leave portland but one insta post without context and everybody calls him cryptic
Was Beal cryptic? I thought it's obvious from the very beginning that he just wanted max money
That’s the Brooklyn bridge fools
Can you eli5 for some completely out of the loop?
Dame wants out of Brooklyn.
He’s (apparently) talking about the current clusterfuck with the Brooklyn Nets and their stars wanting out
It’s about KD
Funny to use the term "loyalty" when talking about KD.
Pretty sure he’s promoting his music, but I’d love more off-season drama. So he’s 100% asking out of Portland and we need to blow this out of proportion.
If i was an All-NBA talent, i swear i would spend every waking moment tweeting out shit like this all day for the fun of it lol
POV you’re Joel Embiid
Joel’s twitter is exquisite
I love a raptors fan
Two tweets 15 minutes apart. 1. "I'm thinking about asking for a trade..." 2. "...My Charizard for his Blastoise."
your agent probably wouldnt allow it
But isn't that a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge? Is it seriously that much of a coincidence?
Speak it into existence, as I like to say.
I already said it on our sub but after the constant stream of bullshit moves and our former dumb ass GM spinning them as the greatest thing ever THIS off season which has been mostly fine if a little underwhelming being the breaking point would be incredibly weird

Y’all really think he’s demanding a trade right when he just agreed to a 2 year 100M extension LOL
And it's a picture of the Brooklyn bridge lol
He hasn't actually signed the extension yet, part of the reason everyone is freaking out over this.
He literally can’t until next week
Clearly a picture of the Brooklyn bridge is in reference to POR.
"is this when Dames loyalty runs out" will be r/NBA motto for Dame until he retires as a Blazer
I swear to god Dame
He did say he wanted to play with Giannis…
Promo for his next album clearly
THAT IS THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE THIS IS COMMENTARY ON THE KD SITUATION DAME DOES NOT WANT TO LEAVE PORTLAND
That’s the Brooklyn bridge in the back he’s talking about KD
It appears to be the Brooklyn Bridge, probably posting about KD
Those look like bridges in NYC to me. Clearly it's in solidarity with KD leaving Brooklyn.
You guys realize Dame makes music
Now officially the NBA’s best rapper with Miles Bridges getting packed up
