Watching Kobe Bryant this year is hitting me hard. Dude's only 6 years older than me, I still remember watching him play against Jordan. :flabbynsick:


I was talking about basketball with my young cousins they other day and they only know Jordan because of his shoes and youtube clips.:flabbynsick:

Im under 25.

but Im still feel old tho because I see dudes like PK Subban, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Mario Balotelli ,Patrick Kane, Steph Curry and Odell Beckham dominating their own leagues and respective sports, still in their youthful 20s. When you are like 9-15, you can stan star athletes without shame because they are older, and you can emulate, stan them as role models or the perfect examples of players you want to be later. But stanning niccas who are in the same age range, 18-30? Nah. Its a bit gay and emasculating to stan a nikka in the same generation kinda. Even if they are older than you.

I can objectively appreciate talent, in a mature way but Im too old to naively stan superstars like some 8-10 years old.

Dudes still young and reached elite peak play. And seeing or hearing about these new age 15-16 yo athlete wonders makes me feel a bit :flabbynsick:

Honestly, if you never saw :mjpls: play LIVE, you still young.

If we played NCAA b-ball, we'd already be old dudes on the team with freshmen calling us "grandpa" and shyt. :old:\

shyt, when I look through Euro soccer team rosters, I see 1997 and 98 birthdays. Lil teenagers making millions and flying around the world first class.:wow:

I saw Reece Oxford make his EPL debut and he was born in 98 ... Made me want to go to the barber like "Bruh mayne Ima need that flat top now :flabbynsick:"

Soccer is definitely not a sport for people self-conscious about their age. Dudes are usually considered :flabbynsick: once they hit 28-29.

I moved to Toronto, Canada back in October and keep hearing about this World Youth hockey tourney that's starting soon. I'm born in 95 and just found out that I'd be too old to play on the team if I played hockey.:flabbynsick:

These young hockey CACs look like 5th graders and they'll be making millions in 1-3 years :mindblown:

Hockey is a sport for rich people...hockey gear is expensive as fukk and hockey enrollment has slowed down for the last 5-10 years.

An NHL money aint touching MLB( baseball ) or soccer money. David Price, google this, just copped 200 millions for like 6 years for Boston , and will only pitch like 20-25 baseball games a year. Thats only 1 million of dollars per game. The best defenseman and most paid hockey player is Black, PK Subban. he plays for Montreal, and hes only getting 72 millions for 9 years.

I've still never watched a hockey game , but I'm familiar with Subban. I fux with dude, he's the only hockey player with any kind of swag. I'm gonna def try and watch some of his games.

7 years older than me too, so I can stan without it feeling too weird. :whew:

I felt old when I found out Winston and I were born the same year. Also when I hear about people saying Justin Bieber is "growing up" and getting more mature, makes me feel old as fukk
