Are we allowed to cheat and use crossword solvers with these?

You can but given it’s me running it it’s likely the only thing you’ll discover when you do is that I can’t spell.

Who had the best shoes out of Dominique Wilkins (Atlanta Hawks) and Charles Barkley (Phoenix Suns) I hear you ask??

Well, let's figure this out.

​

Both Dominique Wilkins and Charles Barkley had iconic shoe lines, but if we're talking about the most famous, it's a close call.

Dominique Wilkins is best known for his Reebok Pump Omni Zone II shoes, which became legendary in the early '90s. The Reebok Pump technology, with it's inflatable chamber for a customized fit, was a game-changer and Wilkins' shoes became a staple in basketball footwear.

Charles Barkley, on the other hand, had a long and successful partnership with Nike. His Nike Air Force Max CB line, especially the Air Max 2 CB94, is highly regarded among sneakerheads. These shoes combined Barkley's aggressive style with innovative design and technology, making them a favorite among fans.

In terms of aesthetics, both Dominique Wilkins' and Charles Barkley's shoes had distinct styles that reflected their personalities and the era.

Dominique Wilkins' Reebok Pump Omni Zone II​

• Design: Sleek and futuristic with the iconic Reebok Pump technology.
• Features: High-top design with an inflatable chamber for a customized fit.
• Colourways: Often featured vibrant color schemes, which made them stand out on the court.

Charles Barkley's Nike Air Max 2 CB94​

• Design: Bold and rugged, designed to match Barkley’s aggressive playing style.
• Features: High-top with visible Air Max cushioning and a chunky, durable build.
• Colourways: Classic and bold, including popular black-and-white combinations and eye-catching details.

Verdict: If you prefer a more innovative and flashy design, Dominique Wilkins' Reebok Pump Omni Zone II might take the crown. However, if you’re into a robust, powerful look with classic appeal, Charles Barkley’s Nike Air Max 2 CB94 would be your best bet.

Alright, since you've asked nicely, I shall give you my wisdom.

Disclaimer: I'm not having a go at por_please_ya , she can like whatever songs she wants, if anything I'm having a go at spud.


Right, so, I used to think there were 2 types of songs: Jury Bait and Tele Bait. Jury Bait is usually a slow ballad that old music critics like listening to because it reminds them of a time when it used to be about the music and the emotion and the vocals that you just don't get nowadays. Tele Bait is typically some pop song that's more about how the staging is the zaniest, craziest, quirkiest thing when compared to all the other songs that have come before it and it's that part that you remember but nothing about the song itself.

Since joining the league's official Discord server, however, I've learnt about a lesser-known 3rd type of song: Porps Bait. A song that's specifically tailored to what porps likes. It wasn't until I started listening to music with other people that I realised that there was always a song that was prime porps bait and it's time, spud, that you learn what these songs sound and look like.

Here we have 3 songs that best exemplify what porps bait is:




spud, your job is to listen to these and figure out the pattern that makes these prime examples of porps bait.

So basically anything Eurovision is almost guaranteed botes
