"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

First of all
I like to congratulate the
2008 World Champion Boston Celtics
defeating a basketball team that wears yellow, from california and have gone fishin in lakes 4-1.
It has been a great season with uncertainty and having faith in a common goal.
Special thanks to God for all his blessings, and Christ Jesus who Loves us.
Like to mention Doc Rivers an excellent coach plus the coaching staff.
Also Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, and Paul Pierce.
Its been a long years on the road, but your finally did it. Congratulations Champions you all deserve it.

I think the Lakers also have home court advantage and the Celtics haven't been spectacular in anyway on the road. The celtics are a better team defensively and usually defense wins championships but again I think Kobe has just elevated the Lakers game to another level.
I think the lakers win in 6 games.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The Lakers may have to go smaller to get more quickness with someone like Luke Walton instead of Radmanovic though otherwise Ray Allen is going to have a huge series especially since Pierce is going to struggle for every point he gets with Kobe on him.
I'm cheering for the Lakers but at least the "dynasty" spurs aren't in it
... everyone on that team is overrated as **** even Duncan, so at least the media will have to do something other than worshipping jesus ginobili. So I'm happy either way but I really hope the Lakers can pull it out.Case Sensitive

Actually I believe Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan of our time.Bible_Belt said:
Kobe would make a nice ball boy.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
I like perk as a banger but he's not suited for the quicker and more perimeter oriented Lakers frontcourt.wutangfinancial said:
Yeah I think KG has been the 2nd best player in the league for the past 5+ years, him and Kobe would make the MVP race every year if their teams didn't suck all that time.wutangfinancial said:
But Tim Duncan is the best 4 of all time right?
Nobody ever talks about him! And he just quietly does his work and the reason nobody knows how good he is is because he doesn't draw attention to himself. And nobody ever talks about the Spurs yet they have the greatest sports dynasty in the past century with their mind blowing 4 championships in 10 years. Case Sensitive

Kobe may be the best in the league now but comparing him to Jordan is pointless. It's not only an insult to Mike but an insult to Kobe.jahidi said:
Think about it. Once a player becomes TRULY great, the comparisons to other players stop. When Jordan was king, people didn't go around saying he was the "Dr. J" of today (although they did that at the beginning of his career). But when Mike came into his own the comparisons to everyone else stopped. If Kobe truly becomes great, no one will compare him to Jordan anymore. People will just say "he's Kobe Bryant". No comparisons needed.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Kobe already has become truly great which is why people are asking the question of whether or not he is better than Jordan. That's where the comparisons are coming from: trying to determine who is better, because people/media always want to rank the greats. Of course Jordan is the all time best but that fact that there are people even entertaining the thought that Kobe may be better than Jordan is a testament to Kobe's greatness.Case Sensitive said:
So you're saying Kobe isn't truly great because he's not as good as Michael Jordan? The only time people will stop comparing and say "he's Kobe Bryant" is when he becomes the undisputed best of all time which isn't going to happen. Until then people will compare him to his fellow legends of the game because, again, people like to rank the best players.Case Sensitive said:
This is the disrespect Kobe gets though. Lebron James was practically inducted into the NBA hall of fame when he was in high school and Manu freakin' Ginobili makes an all NBA team and gets worshiped like a god but we can't even talk about Kobe being a legend.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
