I'm nearly done the iceberg, with 6/8 layers being done. Before I get into details, this iceberg is like every other one, with entries getting more obscure as time goes on. Also, the first three layers have seven entries each, with the rest of them decreasing in entries the further down the iceberg. Here is what I have

Top layer: Michael Jordan's secret suspension, Lakers vs Kings 2002 WCF rigged, Magic Johnson HIV diagnosis, Kobe Bryant's death, Dress code, Donald Sterling, and Daryl Morey's tweets on China protests. ( Done )

Second layer: Brian Scalabrine fan base/memes, Len Bias' death, Metta World Peace ( About his anger issues ), Rasheed Wallace's ejections ( He has 29 ), Bad Boy Pistons, 1985 Draft Lottery Rigged, and Malice at the Palace. ( Done )

Third layer: Drazen Petrovic's death, Gilbert Arenas & Javaris Crittenton gun incidents, Kermit Washington nearly killing Rudy Tomjanovich on the court, Racism against Yao Ming, Corey Magette's nickname ( Bad Porn ), and the Microfiber Game Ball. ( Done )

Fourth layer: NBA players with gang ties, Death of Michael Jordan's dad, Racism against Jeremy Lin, Nobody knowing Manute Bol's real age, James Donaldson ( The worst All-Star ), and "Story to Tell" being about Anthony Mason. ( Done )

Fifth layer: Wilt Chamberlain sexual harassment accusations, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf ( Him sitting for the national anthem ), and what happens when you type a swear into the basketball reference search bar. ( Needs two more entries )

Sixth layer: Muggsy Bogues' dark childhood ( Getting shot and seeing man get beat to death ) and Lester Conner's nickname on basketball reference. ( Needs two more entries )

Seventh layer: Eddy Curry's daughter murdered, Reggie Lewis' death, and John Brisker's disappearance. ( Done )

Eighth layer: Lorenzen Wright's death and Bison Dele's disappearance. ( Done )

Other than sharing ideas for entries, I think I could use some input on what order of entries should be switched. I also would like like constructive criticism.

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.

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

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

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!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

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.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

O colapso da União Soviética significou o fim do comunismo? Aqueles que proferiram a oração fúnebre podem ter considerado os seus desejos realidade. Ao contrário do que acreditaram, o socialismo real não desapareceu de corpo e alma. O fato de a bandeira vermelha não pairar mais sobre o Kremlin não significa a sua extinção no planeta: 1,5 mil milhões de chineses vivem sob a liderança de um Partido Comunista que não mostra sinais de perder força. O Vietnã socialista está indo muito bem. Na Rússia, o Partido Comunista continua a ser a principal força de oposição. Os comunistas governam o Nepal e o estado indiano de Kerala. Apesar do bloqueio imperialista, os cubanos continuam construindo o socialismo. Os comunistas tiveram êxitos eleitorais no Chile e na Áustria. Dizer que o comunismo deixou apenas más lembranças e pertence a um passado longínquo é cometer um duplo erro de análise. Ele não somente contribuiu para o bem-estar de um quarto da humanidade, mas também não há indicação de que tenha dito a sua última palavra. Ele não está condenado pelo seu passado nem privado de um futuro. Pode registrar a seu crédito a luta vitoriosa contra o nazismo, uma contribuição decisiva para a queda do colonialismo e uma resistência obstinada ao imperialismo. Este triplo sucesso é suficiente para dar-lhe cartas de nobreza revolucionárias. O seu passado é também a longa série de avanços sociais e os milhões de vidas arrancadas da pobreza, analfabetismo e doenças.

*O comunismo foi e é um esforço titânico para tirar as massas da ignorância e dependência. Permanecendo na URSS em 1925, o pedagogo Célestin Freinet expressou “sua surpresa e seu assombro, especialmente se considerarmos as condições em que este imenso progresso foi feito”. Pedagogos russos, escreveu ele, “encontraram na sua dedicação à causa do povo e na atividade revolucionária clareza suficiente não apenas para elevar a sua pedagogia ao nível da pedagogia ocidental, mas para ir mais além, e de longe, das nossas tímidas tentativas”. Nenhuma outra força política poderia ter tirado do subdesenvolvimento os países atrasados, coloniais e semicoloniais, pelos quais os comunistas foram responsáveis no século XX. O que seria a Rússia se tivesse permanecido nas mãos de Nicolau II ou Alexander Kerensky? O que seria a China se não tivesse escapado a Chiang Kai-shek e à sua camarilha feudal? Onde estaria Cuba se tivesse permanecido nas garras do imperialismo e seus mercenários locais? A revolução comunista em todos os lug

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.

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.

At work, I have a workstation.
