Dirk says his way is the white way

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

run the triangle but the logo has a pi sign which relates to circles

Dirk is the GOAT cac in NBA history..

Let's not get too carried away, now. Cousy, who organized the Players Association, and Bird -- who regularly went up against truly great players before the 'refs don't referee stars' got into full swing with Jordan era -- might both have something to say about that.

 

[Cabbage Patch]

fair enough, Im just saying. I have no opinion one way or another of your work. if you finna go back and forth on internet with anyone who doesnt think your work is good or is trolling or just having fun...imo its not a good look but maybe its just me. if you are aware its just shyts and giggles then its all good

Agreed. Gotta keep it moving, because there will always be critics who don't like your shyt. Just gotta do what you do, without excuses or explanations, and do it well.

 

[Cabbage Patch]

So, in all seriousness. And because this is obviously something that you are chasing.... there are some legitimate critiques I have:

• Update the look of your webpage. The white-on-grey without a design on either, and with your header not quite wrapping the top of your page, makes it look flimsy. Which is too bad, because your Run the Triangle thin header at the top is a pretty good design. I'd showcase that, maybe make it larger, feature it.
• Likewise, I'd bail on the pencil sketches, they look like shyt.
• Since you have access that others don't, I'd try to focus - for now at least - on bringing nuggets of information from practices/media sessions. I don't need you writing about how Kobe broke the record for most misses... I've seen it everywhere, and you don't offer anything new or newsworthy there. You don't have an angle worth reading, and you weren't all that timely.
  • ALSO: Your stories don't have time stamps that are easily spotted (or at all?) so if you WERE to bring me some bit of news, how could you say you had it first, or early?
• Focus on reporting until you have developed your writing skills. Sentence structure, Passive versus Active voice, using 'surpassed' when you should used 'passed' - these are the kinds of mistakes you make when you don't have a writing background, or don't have an editing background. Simple grammatical mistakes may not seem like a big deal, but they make readers less and less likely to finish your post. As of right now, I'd focus on bringing morsels from your newfound access or videos, things that can be easily spread over social media, and while you're doing that and building a base, I'd be working on your voice/tone/delivery for when you want to include your opinion or editorial content. Focus on your strength and advantage while you build up your weaknesses.
• Give some of your longer posts some interactivity. For example: If you're going to write a piece that includes anecdotes about you missing Lil Penny, link to a fukking Lil Penny commercial. Or insert it in the post. Anything. Basketball fans love those commercials, and even if they've seen them a million times, they will go down a hole of lil penny/penny highlights, maybe end up looking at Kemp dunks, just a 90's vortex... and all the while, you're page will be up, and you're getting credit for time spent on your page. That factors into your analytics, that helps with advertising money.
• Finally - don't bring an audience a "dirk said this" piece without some fukking proof. Video, a corroborating article, even a fukking tweet. Anything. A goddamn picture of dirk. ANYTHING. Otherwise it looks like either you don't have the capability to produce those things... or you're lying. Is there audio? clip it and put it on soundcloud. Is there video? Embed it. Is there another source that can show "Yes, he said that." Well then give me that, because nobody knows who you are, and there is no reason to trust your reporting... which is a problem, because your newfound access allows you to do some.... REPORTING.

As far as "this site hates on things that try to go beyond this site" -- I think we can all agree there is an aspect of that here, for sure. There were actually a lot of people that listened to Bomani on this site LOOONG before he made it to espn. A lot of people. When his radio station essentially got shut down, and when he lost his gig in NC, there were threads upset by it.

But I always felt the Coli was mainly behind him. As far as Rod goes, most of the backlash came from him saying he was "over" messageboards. People here didn't like that. But he turned his podcast profitable, and good for him. As far as BSO goes, I think it's a flaming garbage pile, and his "reporting" is stealing, and he tries to use rumors to create website hits. But he's making money, so who cares what I think. I hated that they used aliases on sohh/thecoli to push their articles, and I think overall their work is shoddy, that's just me.

It's no secret that I had a podcast with @Walt and and @NYC Rebel -- people would come along and say it sucked, and it was garbage, and my voice was annoying, etc etc. Nothing different from what I've encountered on twitter or in the comment sections of various publications I've written for. The trick was always to keep an eye out for a criticism that you could actually use. "IV is a racist cac" - maybe not super useful, but "That segment was way too fukking long, I turned it off" -- well actually, that's something we can evaluate.

It is easier to say something sucks, than it is to say what needs to be improved. And it is easier to dismiss than it is to analyze.

So that is why I took 5 minutes to bang out a response, and say that I respect your dedication, and that your Dirk post is a weak-ass piece of shyt, which needs to improve if you're looking to gain traction. Look at blogs that pick up steam, see how clean and uniform they look? See how every post BRINGS you something -- video, pictures, story, analysis, or reporting? Your Dirk post is everything that is wrong with your site right now, rolled up into a garbage bento box. Off-brand imagery, no links, no pictures, no sound, no video, no proof. Three quotes just floating at the bottom with grammar fukkups like



It is NOT enough to have a website. You have to have consistent, quality content. It takes a lot of time and effort to constantly generate it, but THAT should be the goal.

Good luck, man. This obviously means a lot to you.

This post should be required reading.

Working class people like yourself pay bills.

Successful entrepreneurs find ways to use other peoples money to pay theirs.

You are better at life at paying bills than me.

I am better at life than you at having women pay my bills.

My website also has access to the NBA while yours doesn't.

For what it's worth I'm not fond of the logo either. But it's yours.

I am the one on a mission from God. God cares about justice, and balance between people.

I am trying to bring justice in my efforts, and that's why I have had success in this endeavor.

A tree is known by the fruit it bates, and things have done nothing but increase for RTT, from Kurtis Blow to the Clippers practice floor.

your boastin about having some type of pr clout/authority in a cac controlled minstrel show.

If you are on a mission from your god, it certainly isn't to wake up the people being physically exploited by the same individuals who's ancestors sold their ancestors into slavery

get your money, chill with famous people, and continue to keep your head in the sand, but just know this sh*t definitely aint built to last.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Oh really? That's what I "need to do?"

Blood- I have this ALL planned out to a T.

That's why I have NBA access.

Have you been paying attention? Do you not see that I have a proven track record? Was I not playing basketball at Deering High on TNBC in 1999? Did I not get Lamar Odom and Matt Barnes to shout out the LWO?

You need to sit down and figure ME out.

This is so bad I wish you were trolling

 

[Bboystyle]

People want to see me dead.

is there a petition for this?

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

Kobe Bryant surpassed Michael Jordan on the NBA's all-time scoring list Sunday and moved into third place behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone.

www.runthetriangle.com/dirk-nowitzki-says-his-fadeaway-is-the-white-version-of-hakeem-olajuwon-dream-shake/

Dallas Mavericks all-star Dirk Nowitzki surpassed Hakeem Olajuwon on the all-time scoring list during a 106-98 victory over the Sacramento Kings .

I asked this earlier in the thread and you never answered @I.V. :

According to you I used the word "surpassed" incorrectly because I lacked writing and editing skills.

Baxter Holmes writes for ESPN, has writing and editing skills, and used the word "surpassed" in his article.

Please share why his use of the word is grammatically correct and mine isn't so that I can improve my skills. And please share the actual rule if you can.
