@@andrecarter1590 not knocking on what you said bruh, but clothing don't make the man or woman they make the clothes. Clothing has evolved over the centuries what's considered a dress now was considered to be a tunic back then. There was and is gender neutral clothing and it's always been that way. There's nothing new under the sun. Religion has caused division between men and women and continue to widen the gap. Egyptian men wore makeup which was the ultimate masculine status and cultures did as well again the stuff we see on social media and TV is nothing new. If you're secure in your masculinity then it shouldn't bother you and you can wear whatever. It's the intent that matters at the end of the day.

Where the hell have I been? Not knowing that Darius Miles And Quentin Richardson got a podcast together? Man listen, LJ was one of my favorite players since his UNLV days. Being a Knicks fan, it hurt to give up Anthony Mason but "YO YOU HEARD WE GOT LJ??!!" was what every Knicks fan around NYC said or heard that day. He was so rock solid for the Knicks man, he never complained when his role changed and his stats dropped from over 20ppg to 14-15ppg. And we could always count on Larry stepping up his game in the playoffs. He'd average his 14-15 points during the regular season but in the playoffs he'd drop 22-23 ppg. Especially in '98 when we lost Pat for part of the playoffs. Happy to see that he's in good health and good spirits and enjoying the fruits of his hard work in retirement. God bless him and God bless you guys as well.

UNLV vs. Arkansas 1991 the hype for that game was so intense, you could feel the energy through the T.V. I still go back and watch that game, and I'm able to tap into my feelings at the time. Then the shaft against Duke in the Final Four. Watch that game also. 🤦♂️
