It's not "The" Mobb Deep. It's "Mobb Deep." That's it. No "the" before.

That's all. Have a nice day.

Edit: June 23 now and he's still posting "The" Mobb Deep 😂

I recall when he was drafted people were talking about Tim Duncan levels of basketball IQ and back-to-the-basket game. Third overall pick in the draft behind KAT and D'Angelo Russell.

Anyone know why he didn't pan out?

It's down to these two for me.

Buying a 2025 SX Prestige X-Line. Not many left.

The color combos I want are not available.

I love the wolf gray but not the black interior.

I love the terracotta interior but not the blue exterior.

Which would would you go with? Wolf gray on black or the midnight lake blue on terracotta?

Both fully-loaded SXP X-Lines (2025) brand new.

HEARKEN, GOOD PEOPLE OF THE REALM, AND GATHER YE ROUND THE FIRES OF THY GREAT HALLS, FOR ON THIS VERY EVE COMMENCETH A BATTLE MOST GLORIOUS, THE LIKES OF WHICH HATH NOT BEEN WITNESSED SINCE THE DAYS OF LEGEND.

FORTH FROM THE EASTERN KINGDOM RIDETH SIR JALEN BRUNSON OF THE KNICKS OF NEW YORK, A KNIGHT OF MODEST STATURE YET COLOSSAL COURAGE. Though many a doubter didst gaze upon him and sayeth, "Surely this man be too small to lead an army unto the promised land," he hath silenced the scoffers and smitten the naysayers. With footwork most cunning, with midrange sorcery most foul, and with a heart forged in dragonfire itself, Brunson hath led the Knickerbockers through every trial and tribulation that stood before them.

Yet lo! Across the western frontier standeth a foe unlike any other.

EMERGING FROM THE LANDS OF SAN ANTONIO COMETH THE GREAT VICTOR WEMBANYAMA, known throughout the kingdoms as The French Colossus, The Tower of Doom, The Seven-and-a-Half-Foot Menace. Verily, many scholars and wise men hath searched the ancient scrolls for a comparable specimen, yet none could be found. For how doth one prepare to battle a man who seemeth capable of blocking arrows launched from neighboring provinces? How doth one attack a warrior whose arms appeareth to stretch from one castle wall unto the next?

The young giant standeth at the gates of destiny. Though but a few seasons removed from his arrival unto the grand league, he now seeketh to claim the highest crown in all the basketball realm. His reach is unnatural. His movement is witchcraft. His talents art an affront unto both geometry and the laws of nature.

Thus the stage is set.

On one side standeth Brunson, the undersized champion, the people's knight, the crafty swordsman who hath carved a path through foes greater and mightier than himself.

On the other standeth Wembanyama, the giant king-in-waiting, the prodigy foretold in prophecy, the towering guardian of the western throne.

One commandeth through guile and wisdom.

The other through length and terror.

One weareth the mantle of perseverance.

The other the mantle of destiny.

The drums of war soundeth throughout the land.

The merchants closeth their shops early.

The taverns overfloweth with excited patrons.

The children speaketh of naught else.

The elders shaketh their heads and declareth, "Never before hath we seen such a duel."

And when the first ball ascendeth into the heavens this night, all disputes shall be settled not by parchment nor proclamation, but by contest upon the hardwood battlefield.

Perchance Brunson shall dance through defenders as a rogue through moonlit shadows.

Perchance Wembanyama shall swatteth away shots with the fury of an angry god.

Perchance legends shall be born.

Perchance hearts shall be broken.

Yet this much is certain:

By series' end, one kingdom shall rejoice.

One city shall feast.

One banner shall be raised unto the rafters.

And one warrior shall ascend unto immortality.

NOW SOUND THE TRUMPETS.

UNFURL THE BANNERS.

FILL THY GOBLETS.

FOR THE NBA FINALS ARE UPON US, AND THE GREAT WAR OF BRUNSON AND WEMBANYAMA DOTH BEGIN THIS VERY NIGHT.

I'm in Southern CA (Los Ang). Had my '21 SXP since 2020.

It's paid off now and I'm giving it to my mom. I was going to get a '27 for myself but after MUCH MUCH MUCH deliberation and research etc, I have decided to grab a '25 while there is still hope. They are not being manufactured anymore but they are still out there. I've test driven the '27 three times and I just can't convince myself I love it. Meanwhile the first generation is flawless (to me personally).

The color combos I'd consider are gone here in SoCal.

Would you be kind enough to do a local inventory search to see if you can find one around you?

I'm looking for a '25 SX Prestige X-Line in wolf gray or jungle green with gray or brown interior. No black interior.

#If you can find one, I'd greatly appreciate it!

What is one of your go-to responses to "How are you?" when you don't want to say "good" but you don't want to be negative or too serious?

Like one I'll go to sometimes is "I'm very much alive, you?"

Let's hear 'em. What are some of your go-tos?

Sorry, I'm sure I can find the answer online but just wanted to see if anyone knew off the top of their head (or in case others may be curious as well).

Will look up the answer a little later today too...

Thank you in advance.

It's something you hear once in a while...

I make good money. He makes good money. She makes good money.

Always makes me wonder what people here consider "good money" lol...

Tell me, what do you consider "good money" here in LA?

And, if you're in the mood, what do you consider LA "rich"?
