I don't care how many rings or MVPs SGA ends up winning. Watching his game is exhausting. It feels like every other possession involves leaning into a defender, throwing his arms around, and somehow ending up at the free-throw line. We spent years criticizing James Harden for the exact same style, so why are we suddenly pretending it's beautiful basketball just because it's Shai?
Are we watching basketball or a free-throw competition?
I’ve been dating a guy for four months who insists he's a "frugal minimalist" who doesn't believe in consumer culture. That was fine until we went out to dinner with my coworkers, and when the bill came, he calculated his exact share down to the penny, including two sips of my iced tea, but left zero tip for the server. When I left a twenty on the table myself, he got upset in the car and said I was publicly undermining his values.
My best friend asked me to be his best man six months ago, and I spent around two grand on his bachelor party in Vegas. Yesterday, three weeks before the wedding, he called me to say his older brother had finally decided to show up, so he was giving the best man spot to him instead. He offered me a spot as a regular groomsman and didn't even mention reimbursing me for the trip I organized.
