I Am In Need Of Asks, Please Save Some For Me

i am in need of asks, please save some for me

literally anything would be cool

Rate me some of ur fav nba rarepairs like its a food review plz I must know whats hot over here

so any ship that isn't some combination of lebron, kyrie, KD, westbrook, or any of the warriors (also kyle lowry/demar derozan back in the day. apparently.) counts as a rarepair for me.

which means i have a lot on my mind. and thus to review and rate.

i think i also got two distinct categories for my rarepairs: "ones i found that immediately gave me brainrot for the next 228383682 years" and "i made this up, they're just personal pairings for me, and now i look delusional whenever i talk about them" lol

imma rate them out of 10 just because it's cool

found ships

jayson tatum/jaylen brown: probably too popular to be considered a rarepair at this point but compared to like. the lebron and steph curry ships, i might as well lump em in here. 9/10 mainly cause one of my fav fics was an immaculate one about these two. only reason its not 10/10 is cause jaylen irl can be a little very frustrating sometimes (ranging from "he's out of line, but he's got a point" to "diet coke kyrie" and who knows where in that spectrum he could be at any given day)

nikola jokic/jamal murray: 9/10 generally, 100/10 for the emotional hurt/comfort potential. give them as many rings as possible. championship rings, wedding rings, same thing when it comes to these two. nikola really caring for jamal (and the rest of the team, but especially jamal) but he struggles to show it sometimes because he'll probably look dumb to the general public. jamal feeling the same but also feeling like shit sometimes because of that stupid fucking injury somebody (aka nikola) give this man a hug please

giannis antetokounmpo/khris middleton: might be biased because i'm a half-closeted bucks fan but 100/10. proper rivals-to-lovers and domestic fluff story (im pretty sure they were competing against each other early into their careers) that's never talked about because the NBA media only cares about separating these two and putting giannis in fucking LA or miami or whatever. shipping him with lebron instead of the man he's known since he stepped foot into the bucks basketball court.

giannis antetokounmpo/marcus smart: 8/10. found it off tumblr one forever ago, spinning in my head ever since because it makes much more sense than it needs to. not 10/10 because my brainrot is mostly fueled by making marcus and thanasis (giannis' brother) besties and that itll be its own post soon. but i can see the vision. tall happy kind boi getting along with short feral man. probably another rivals-to-lovers in the making (prob one-sided rivals with marcus trying really hard to antagonize giannis who doesn't really care much lol). can't get enough of that.

ja morant/jaren jackson jr.: these two are idiots in their own way and im all for it actually. 8/10 mainly because ja irl can be a bit frustrating at times. but at least i know jaren is gonna be protected when things get really bad lmaoooo

my personal delulu ships

luka doncic/jalen brunson: 7/10 for the fluff potential, 10/10 for the "luka making friends with people who end up leaving him due to circumstances beyond his control" kinda angst potential. like man can't luka keep a real one for once???

jeremy sochan/victor wembanyama: i had a vision the moment wemby got drafted. a ship that would finally breathe some life into the boring af spurs. only a 7/10 since i have yet to see the on-court chemistry but i could see the potential from a mile away. like the off-court vibes are immaculate at times, i wanna see that translate into basketball soon.

devontae cacok/talen horton-tucker: 8/10. i have brainrot for the 2020 bubble lakers, especially talen and their two-ways (devontae and kostas). these guys would be lowkey chaotic and i'm all for it. im already working on a awkward love confession fic about these two

alex caruso/kostas antetokounmpo: the real goat and giannis' other brother. another bubble lakers ship. technically a found ship because i saw a throwaway line in a trashy lakers fic on wattpad pairing them together and it's been spinning in my head ever since. but i've been going insane over these guys anyway so into the homemade pile you go. only 7/10 tho cause def a fluffy side ship, not sure how they would fare as the main romantic plot tho. ill work on it tho

damian lillard/pat connaughton: YES I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS ONE AFTER THE TRADE™. like i thought of pat when it happened and went "oh those guys were teammates on the blazers for a bit......." and it just immediately spiraled into yet another potential ship for my brain to froth over lmao. its still kinda barebones tho so it gets a 6/10 for now, but im already trying to make a fic for them lmaooooo

where are my basketball players kissing fanarts

ive seen a bunch from other sports but it seems the basketball side is severely lacking

WHY THE FUCK DID JRUE GET SACRIFICED FOR THIS

OKAY.

SO THESE TWO.

THEY ARE IDIOTS IN (PLATONIC) LOVE YOUR HONOR

i do not know why but every time i think about them i just go "these two would sooooooo be besties if they were on the same team and able to hang out for more than an occasional game"

like they both give off gremlin rage vibes both on and off the court. it's just that marcus is way more highkey about his vibes. immediately confronts whoever's trying to talk shit about the guy he's known since generic bucks-celtics game #9.

thanasis does have his moments sometimes tho. like he will stare motherfuckingly at anyone trying to mess with marcus as if they were messing with giannis. except instead of a giant happy (if intimidating) boi, they are dealing with a short feral boi that would bite you immediately

and that's if thanasis doesn't bite them first. or if they both bite at the same time

they would literally foul each other out in like a minute. unstoppable force vs (sometimes) immovable object type beat. and they will laugh on the bench about it for the rest of the game.

they went out for snacks at some point after generic bucks-celtics game #13. braided each other's hair in a shoddy hotel room from a midnight stroll. marcus making funny poses while they take pictures of each other. thanasis munching on marcus' braids in his sleep like they're fuzzy celery sticks.

and marcus is just. resigned to his fate because he really doesn't wanna wake him up in the middle of the night. marcus gets really cranky and moody in the morning without enough sleep but thanasis will probably fucking explode on him if he doesn't get enough sleep. and marcus does Not wanna deal with That

but he makes sure he will munch on thanni's hair back the first chance he gets. payback for his crimes. you bite my braids, i will bite that burnt cauliflower looking ass hair of yours

and those vibes.... their combined aura...... it's so strong that friends and family and teammates around them just decide "fuck it. let them be. we can't really fight this" lmao

marcus calling thanasis one random late night in some random memphis restaurant. immediately starts ranting about how the food is trash but that's why he loves it and keeps coming back. tells him to meet him there when the bucks come to play.

and thanni just. listens. he's on the bed and needs to crash (not like it's not normal. he def woke up to giannis eating oreos at 3am at least once). but he's not hanging up 'cause lowkey marcus might actually be on to something here lmao

giannis asking his bro what to expect about marcus while getting to know him as a person, and the answer he gets is "Don't."

"what do you mean don't—" "gianni listen to me. don't."

god i love them so much somebody please ask me about these two so i can ramble about them more

AYO????

shams asleep wow
