Kevin Durant on why his shoes went from $88 to $150

[philmonroe]

I have already said why I think its bad parenting.

Here is a direct quote, in the future try reading a thread before you jump in the middle of a convo string you aren't a part of starting.

Beat it with the white person sarcasm. You showing them quotes which I already read has jack shyt to do with you being a hating ass dude mad your cousin got more. Did you busting your ass more lead to you being better off down the road than him? Do you think it always works like that which we both know doesn't? You might think that because it fits your narrative. That's what I was trying to see moreso. People always kicking this bullshyt hard work narrative. Tell y'all cats y'all can get some bread and don't have to work or do work and get the same amount see which one y'all pick. 99% of cats on that hard work flow only say because that's all y'all know not because that's what you really believe.

I wasn't using sarcasm. Stop trying to use words you don't know the meaning of.
I showed those quotes to show you I actually had stated why its poor parenting.
You don't think hard work and long term planning is ideal, fine, hope it has worked out for you and it works out for your kids, its shytty parenting to me.

I know the meaning of all the words I use. Always the faux smart folks trying to claim some "smartness" over others. Funny. Where did I say I don't think hard work and long term planning is ideal? You faux smarts sure seem to have stereotypical female debating styles. I never said it had no place at all I was just talking about you coming off as a crab with your cousin.

How is something shytty parenting if someone kids end up doing better than you doing mr hard worker? I understand your parents probably didn't have money like that so you championing hard work newspaper route bullshyt for kids but its many ways/easier ways to get to the same place. If you think your way works cool but feel that way because you really do not because you couldn't do the other way even if you wanted to.

Shaq started it with his walmart and payless shoes but nobody gives him credit.

Olajuwon wore Spaulding's which were available at Payless first.

Its obvious you didn't, because you used sarcasm incorrectly. It isn't a dumb smart or faux smart issue, its just you using words incorrectly.
You literally said hard work is a bullshyt narrative and said you rather get money without work. This is what you argued and I replied to, why do you want to walk back from it now?
You talk about debating styles, its clear you have no logic in your debating style, you don't read what is written, you don't actually address arguments, and you change position when your initial position is evaluated.
I've not once insulted you personally, you've been insulting me personally from the beginning, this is the depth or lack of depth of your debating skills.

I come off as a crab with my cousin, who is 15 years younger than me and who I'm disappointed about his poor attitude and work ethic? LIke I said its clear you aren't even reading what is being posted, you literally make your own story up in your head because you can't address what is said.

If you can't afford something and you go out of your way to get something just to pamper your kid, you are showing your kid terrible value, you are showing them poor prioritization, putting short term enjoyment over long term security. It may make you feel better, but you aren't doing shyt but building terrible character for your kid and instilling negative priorities and that is shytty parents.

My parents were both pretty well off when I was growing up, mid middle class black neighborhood and we never wanted for anything necessary. Its about values and work ethic, the things you have spoken negatively about in this thread.
LIke I said if you think hard work is negative and prioritization of long term benefit over the short term is not preferable, fine. I think the counter to them is shytty parenting.

 

[Wacky D]

those sneakers are nice.

do they still sell em?

 

[YakSpiller]

I don't care, I'm buying some KD 9's this week. :drinkitin:


Can't wait to step into Oracle with my KD 9's and my home KD jersey. :drinkitin:

 

[Jplaya2023]

Lmao at people still buying basketball sneakers

what are we suppose to buy? Stacy Adams yes, but what else?

 

[Higher Tech]

Shaq started it with his walmart and payless shoes but nobody gives him credit.

Hakeem started it. He had K-Mart shoes while Shaq was still with Reebok

 

[Higher Tech]

Lmao at people still buying basketball sneakers

nikkas supposed to hoop in penny loafers?

 

[N711oir]

They're all just following the blueprint of the GOAT. :mjpls2:

 

[N711oir]

I feel what he's saying.
He must have new PR people behind him

He's getting more aggressive but still no Kobe

But I think it's hard to go from $88 to $150

I mean if I'm used to paying $88

Did he become twice the player he was
Is he admitting he was jipping the people from jump on materials


I've allways believed

Savages aren't built they're born

I didn't use sarcasm wrong and I didn't walk nothing back. You just keep switching the meaning of what I was saying to fit your narrative. You compared you and your cousin. You used hard work like that means just because you had to do "hard work" that automatically will make you better off. That's what I said was bullshyt but because you are trying to be right when you wrong as shyt on this issue you will cling to whatever to be right. I just ask that you not switch my words up and if you don't understand which its clear you don't ask for clarification. My point is mainly about you sounding like a crab.

I don't care if you do or don't insult me its a bullshyt informal messageboard discussion not a super serious formal discussion. In a different setting I'd handle it differently but since its not spare me the "I never" junk. I've really only said your a crab and you debate like stuff I hear from chicks and you do. Same way you "insult" me by trying to shade my "debate" skills. You're no better so stop trying to take the morality high ground buddy.

Second bold are you serious? The nerve of you to say I made stuff up when look at you yourself. Back to them chick debating points again. What does saying you a crab have to do with work ethic ever? I said you seem jealous because you lived a different life and maybe you wanted it easier and feel resentment low key. You won't be the first and you sure as hell wouldn't be the first to hit the ole someone's work ethic or whatever was a product of something that's envious you lacked. I can always address whats said but again online one too many people try to make theirselves more _________ than they really are. Its usually a sign of a person who when they log off is none of that which they think they are.

I didn't speak about nothing negatively outside of,you sounding jealous that you didn't have the chance to have the same life that's all. I know people that were spoiled that will crush you in anything that most folks think is important and I also know the opposite too. That's my point being spoiled doesn't make or break someone. Being middle class to me ime means your bills and the like are straight but you can't necessarily afford to do things more well off people can do. That's what I noticed growing up but again it matter cause we aren't changing each other's minds so I think we can both agree to disagree on this. Whatever you feel you going to feel and vice versa so until next time Peace.

I'm sorry man you but you really didn't use sarcasm right, in no way shape or form is my post sarcastic. Seriously look up the definition and try to apply it to what i wrote, no way was I being ironic or evoking contempt for you. I haven't switched the meaning of anything you've said either.

I compared my cousin, not what he had, but his attitude, I specifically mentioned his entitlement and poor work ethic. That you read that and think there was jealousy about what he had rather than disappointment that his mother was working 2 jobs to spoil a kid who didn't appreciate, shows your lack of reading comprehension. you see words but you don't read sentences and can't gather the intent of the post from the context clues and out right statements.

Man you can't debate you literally have failed to provide a logical reply to anything i've said. You've instead relied on emotionalism and logical fallacies. then have the nerve to try to insult me as if i"m the one getting emotional.

Like i said before, you live the life you want, you raise your kids how you see fit, sorry if what I posted hit home and offended you, but i'm not changing my outlook and you haven't presented any rational explanation for why I should, you'll just have o continue to be emotional and mad about it.
