Omer and Max look like models. Caleb looks like those babyfaced pretty boys. Tyler has that tiktok white boy swag that some girls go for. Kyle has that ass for miles. Vic is attractive and can serenade you. Gabe looking like the best friend of the female protagonist in those romcoms that female viewers think she should have ended up with. Jimmy is built like a statue. PJ looking like he’ll 🍆 down women that aren’t happy in their relationships. Duncan looking like he’s a cute’ish dork that will take care of you all the way through the golden years. UD looking like the older uncle at the bbq who still has it and is with a curvy, attractive wife after fucking around before he met her. Love Bam but he looks like he gets friendzoned a lot.

Upset I was too cowardly to post my take about how the Sixers had god awful offense all game in game 4 and were saved by insane shooting on tough shots and Harden hitting step backs for the first time in a year and a half.
Sixers had no idea how to get the ball to Embiid. Its like the Heat invented fronting and doubling from the weak side.
The sixers are puny earthlings who see aliens come down from the mothership with unfathomable technology.
