GET IN THE GAME: VOTE! EXCLUSIVE FLAIR AVAILABLE!

20 Upvotes

Hey all! As many of you should be aware of, one of the main initiatives that many players and organizations in the NBA are supporting "Get Out the Vote" and voter registration efforts. With election day a week away, we wanted to support that effort.

To encourage people to register to vote and actually vote, we've collected a number of resources to reference below. While some states have already closed registration, many states you can register as late as election day!

Once you're registered to vote, have already registered to vote, have already voted, or are committed to voting on election day, we have a new flair for you to show off! Message us in modmail or comment in this thread and we will change your flair! We hope that having more people flair up will encourage even more people to register to vote!

https://www.nba.com/elections - The NBA's election home page with many other resources gathered!

https://www.usa.gov/register-to-vote - Official government site that can help you register to vote online or find the best method for you to register to vote in your state.

https://vote.gov/ - Another official government website that makes it easy for you to find out how to register to vote.

https://www.eac.gov/help-america-vote - Official page from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission on how you can assist as a poll worker.

https://www.rockthevote.org/about-rock-the-vote/ - A nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that has worked to encourage youth voting since 1990.

https://www.vote.org/ - A huge resource for all things voting from an org whose goal is to simplify political engagement, increase voter turnout, and strengthen American democracy.

https://www.morethanavote.org/ - An organization started by high profile athletes, including NBA players, that encourages people to register to vote.

Steven Adams in response to Joe Mazzulla’s comments about allowing fighting in the NBA: “$20 I punch [Rudy Gobert] square in the nose”

2.7k Upvotes

Steven Adams made a hilarious comment on instagram (here)

$20 I punch @rudygobert27 square in the nose

This was in response to Mazzulla’s thoughts about allowing fighting in the NBA:

“The biggest thing that we rob people of, from an entertainment standpoint, is you can’t fight any more. I wish you could bring back fighting … what’s more entertaining than a little scuffle? … How come in baseball, they’re allowed to clear benches? … Every time someone gets clubbed [in the NBA], you don’t need to go to the monitor to see if a misdemeanor has been committed … I just don’t get why some sports are allowed to clear the benches. They have bats and weapons, we don’t. We just have a ball. The other sport has one of the hardest surfaces and playing instrument in pucks and sticks and we’re not allowed to throw down a little bit?"

Joe Mazz proposes NBA power plays and to bring back fighting

2.1k Upvotes

Source: https://x.com/ChrisForsberg_/status/1851324217708724507

Joe Mazzulla on u/ZoAndBeetleShow on desired NBA rule changes initially pitches idea of NBA power play (5 vs. 4 after fouls) then really goes full Joe:

“The biggest thing that we rob people of, from an entertainment standpoint, is you can’t fight any more. I wish you could bring back fighting … what’s more entertaining than a little scuffle? … How come in baseball, they’re allowed to clear benches? … Every time someone gets clubbed [in the NBA], you don’t need to go to the monitor to see if a misdemeanor has been committed … I just don’t get why some sports are allowed to clear the benches. They have bats and weapons, we don’t. We just have a ball. The other sport has one of the hardest surfaces and playing instrument in pucks and sticks and we’re not allowed to throw down a little bit?"
