I’m a Giants fan who comes in peace to tell you a story you guys might like. Hopefully this is allowed on this sub.

My friend’s little brother plays high school basketball in Southeast Michigan where I live. The boys on the team were creating a group chat earlier today (Wednesday the 24th) and whoever created the chat accidentally mistyped one of the numbers.

And who’s number did he accidentally type in? Sean Murphy-Bunting’s, who grew up in Macomb and went to Central Michigan University.

Somehow they got him to join a group FaceTime where he handed his phone off to Leonard Fournette. Lenny showed the boys around the locker room and introduced them to Evan, Gronk, and even Brady. Being from Michigan, one of the boys had a U of M Brady Jersey and got to show it to the man himself.

A few pictures and vids of the encounter here:

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Atlanta Hawks

Boston Celtics

Brooklyn Nets

Charlotte Hornets

Chicago Bulls

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

TL;DR

Made all-time hometown rosters with original 30 NBA teams + 25 new teams to split populated areas and big teams (spreadsheet + map)

Player Pool and Team Pool

I used the top 969 players who have at least 10000 minutes played in their career.

Why 10000 minutes played? Because that's the lower standard set by Basketball-Reference to get on their ABA career leaderboard (15000 MP for NBA). I added George Mikan, because even though he hasn't played enough minutes, he's featured in All-Time ESPN NBARank and Bill Simmons Hall of Fame Pyramid.

I started off with the current 30 teams. To split up the Lakers and Clippers, I gave the Clippers their proposed Inglewood site.

As I looked at the map of player hometowns, I realized that there were:

• some areas that had a lot of players, but few close NBA teams
• some areas that had bloated rosters with too many players

Based off city population and arena size, I added 25 new teams.

• I obviously had to give Seattle their team back
• Birmingham, North Little Rock and Shreveport helped to split up the South
• Pittsburgh and St. Louis were big cities without teams
• Berkeley added to siphon off San Francisco
  • if I add Oakland, it takes away too many players
• Anaheim and Westwood added in Southern California (Clippers & Lakers)
• Winston-Salem and Raleigh to pare down Charlotte
• Lansing to prune Detroit
• 2nd Atlanta team in suburb of College Park
• 2nd Washington team and Baltimore
• 2 more teams in Chicago (Rosemont and South Side) + a team in Gary
• 2nd Indiana team + Louisville & Lexington
• 2nd Philadelphia team in suburb of Wynnewood
• 3 more teams in the New York Area (Newark, Queens and Long Island)

The Method

I started off gathering hometowns due to this fantastic database by Reuben Fischer-Baum ([original article source here](https://deadspin.com/infographics-where-do-pro-basketball-players-come-from-5132615

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

This is part two of this list. This list is based off of accomplishments in the NBA (or ABA), not college or international leagues. Please let me know of any mistakes or if I missed something.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

33 F R E A K I N EPISODES! Please note I am limited to 20 photos, so I'm gonna be picky! So many premieres! Get ready, let's go!

NOVEMBER 1ST

RHOA, S3E5, 2010

Nene has completed her plastic surgery and is healed, so the first thing she does for her newly reduced chest is to go bra shopping with Cynthia! I love this scene because Nene is just so fun, and she dances in front of the mirror and pumps her chest, and it's a good giggle!

Kandi starts Kandi coated nights (I still hear it in my head all the time!), to help her through a year without sex, allowing her to talk about it when she's not having it. Kim talks about not being a cheater while a guest, as it was big poppa who was married. Kandi cries to her mom during a later scene, as she struggles with the fact A.J passed, as does her daughter, and she feels quite emotional that Riley doesn't have a father figure in her life.

Sheree's short-lived love interest, Tiy-E, invited her over for a vegetarian meal and cookies. She is shocked that she is asked to cut strawberries because the only thing she's used to doing is collecting and carrying bones. Oh, and he puts cookie dough on his finger and then forces her to eat it off, and I hate myself for remembering that fact on my own.

Apollo and Phaedra do a maternity shoot, where they suck on pickles, and she thinks it's the photoshoot of the year. Her taste is so questionable.

The women get together for mother's day, and spend the meal outside discussing sex, and putting pop rocks in your vag, and Phaedra recommends normal or powdered sugar, and Nene, cringing like me, says "I would never put kool-aid, canned yams, a peppermint candy, pancake syrup, you know, none of those things in my vajayjay. That's crazy."

Phaedra has no idea when her due date is, saying the baby is only 5 months when it actually is about 7-7 1/2 months, and the baby needs to come early. Everyone is like... you don't know your due date? And everyone is like... oh, your mom is a preacher and you got pregnant before the wedding and are trying to hide it - GOT IT!

Peter randomly comes in, Apollo drops off a Gucci diaper bag (ok...), and then Peter tells Nene she is having relationship issues because she has a dead bedroom (I accidentally wrote bathroom, I'm writing this baked, and how funny would that be!) Cynthia gives him the eyes that say "get the fuck out of here", so he leaves, and Mama Joyce, with the only helpful thing she has ever said, tells the ladies not to

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

[Removed]

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

You take away their little brooms

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

When I got home, they were still there.

There hasn't been a post all year!
