If the NFL/NBA bickered about prestige the way WSO does about IB..

What would some of the common posts and their WSO analogy be?

NBA: "Hot latino girls city rankings"
WSO: "Investment banking prestige rankings updated August 2021 8.11 v8" 

NFL: "NFL is old news, NBA is where the money and having a brain is"
WSO: "Finance is old news, tech is where the money and life is at" 

NBA: "My dad is Jerry Colangelo, can I be an NBA GM one day?"
WSO: "My dad is an MD at GS. Can I ask him for an internship?" 

NFL/NBA: "Most overrated PEDs?"
WSO: "Most overrated semi-target schools?"

NFL/NBA: "help, will I pass my drug test?"
WSO: "help, will I pass my drug test?"

NFL/NBA: "I just won a ring, what's next?"
WSO: "I got off work at 7pm, what's next?"

NFL: *insert GOP crazy rant*'
NBA: *insert Leftist crazy rant*
WSO: *insert GOP crazy rant*

Mine aren't too funny but maybe others can put up some solid stuff. Been a slow day in the internship so far

Think about Cameron Payne for a second. This guy is our age, certainly didn't have any kind of "prestige" by any means.

No opportunity playing for the NBA? Tried overseas basketball for one game and decided to get back to NBA no matter how hard it is. Is Suns a prestigious franchise like the Lakers or the Nets? Hell no. Was he a top-prioritized player? No. Did he do a good job and earn is reputation? Yes. 

Fucking prestige whores (I do wanna work for a BB).
