GENERAL QUESTION Do You Prefer Wearing Compression Shorts When Playing Basketball?
Whether you're playing pickup basketball with friends or competing in an organized tournament, do you prefer wearing compression shorts underneath your basketball shorts, or do you play without them?
Do you feel that compression shorts help with comfort, muscle support, or mobility? Or do you find them uncomfortable and prefer playing without them?
Based on your experience, which do you prefer, and why?
Curious to know your insights and perspectives on this.

NBA Super Slams of the NBA
Anyone else have this VHS growing up? This was on regular rotation in my house as my friends and I would practice on our nerf hoop and then outside hoop lowered to 7'. First time watching it in probably 30+ years and I can nearly quote the entire thing.
Why do the dunks seem so much better than today? Do players not practice cool dunks as much anymore? The last good dunk contest was the Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon, which was 10 years ago. And then one was the best one since 2003.
Intro gives me chills and the music is banging. Its not a montage, its a hype video.
I highly recommend watching it. I dare to tell me you don't want to go practice these dunks on a lowered rim.

Do you agree with this? I found it interesting. Who else doesn't think Ben Simmons is one of the worst five players in the NBA?

[Hollinger] My fearless predictions for NBA season: Thunder topple Knicks, East better than West?
Things I got absolutely right:
- “No LeBron, Curry or Durant in the conference finals”: Cha-ching.
- “Fewer than three coaching changes before All-Star break”: We only had one — Willie Green in New Orleans.
- “West will continue to outpace the East”: Correct, but it was closer than I hoped. The West only outpaced the East by 12 wins, and only because its three worst teams were less egregiously awful than the East’s.
Things I got somewhat right:
- “No Americans will make first-team All-NBA”: This was a great call ruined by Giannis Antetokounmpo falling short of the 65-game threshold. Give me my flowers.
- “Miami will meet Chicago in the Play-In … again”: Well, the Heat did their part, but Chicago flamed out after a 5-0 start and missed the East’s top 10.
- “Celtics, Pacers will miss the playoffs”: One of these predictions aged better than the other.
Things I mostly got wrong:
- “Cooper Flagg will be the unanimous ROY”: I upped the degree of difficulty by requiring Flagg’s win to be unanimous, but Kon Knueppel was good enough that Flagg barely won.
- “Thunder will repeat, beat Cavs in the finals”: Not a terrible call, as both made the conference finals before injuries and serendipity struck.
