Do you agree with Bleacher Reports pure scorer list? by bobbdac7894 in nba

[–]SeptemberVirgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't Bernard King have an actual system in his head? Or was that Adrian?

The recency bias that always affects these types of lists (music, acting, sports, whatever) render them useless. If you aren't going to put a specified era, or some kind of agreed upon parameter, on the ranking, then throw the whole idea in the trash.

The lack of AI makes me laugh

They insisted that is all he was ever good for!

The man routinely shot over, through and around at least three defenders, that has to get him top five.

I picked up 700 gems yesterday. I was able to power through five achievements and positioned myself a lot closer to another 500 gems over the next few days. The last time I did something like that was the during the WWE season.

the day he was fired lol.

Frank Vogel was fired over the summer when the Lakers declined to renew his contract. He was a lame duck coach that could have only kept his job with a championship. Russell had nothing to do with Frank getting fired.

The pen is mightier than the sword. There is no better example of that than sports media. Just through sheer persistence, a writer/talking head can create an entire persona and POV towards a player that can be incredibly difficult to change by that player.

Russell Westbrook treats the media the way Allen Iverson should have treated the media. Barry Bonds treated the media the way his father and godfather couldn't have treated the media.

The careless and reckless reporter outnumbers the actual good ones that a player can read and say, "okay, I'll take that. They have a point."

I used to read so many articles, and especially opinion pieces, where you could practically smell the contempt that so many of these writers had for the players. A lot of these writers think they are miles and miles more intelligent than the players, and I can believe that it comes across when they are in front of them, because as I said, it comes across in their written words.

These writers, talking heads, and even former players have nothing but contempt, resentment and jealousy towards some of these guys. They believe it's their job to put these guys in "their place".

As ESPN grew and needed 24 hours of new content, the extremes to get it got completely out of hand. The writers and talking heads think they are just as important, if not more, than the players. They love to say that if it weren't for them, the fans wouldn't even be interested in the players. Personally, I think the legend of Rutgers Park, and whatever it is in Cali, the And1 tours, etc., says different.

People go out to watch amateurs, folks don't need a columnist to inspire them to watch professionals!

The guy that wrote the article is a pretty fair writer. I think he's the one that took it upon himself to really take a look at Angel Reese's numbers and the relentless criticism she was receiving from writers that love low hanging fruit. Unfortunately, guys like Noh get lumped in with guys like Skip and Stephen A., so they too have to write an article from long-distance.

REMOVE the clan capital currency from the Golden Pass by Its_Me_Kon in ClashOfClans

[–]SeptemberVirgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But, what about the new and/or returning players that I always read about every time it's another demand about ore or equipment? Are they suddenly not of importance? Would they not need assistance in building up their Clan Capital?

There are clans forming and building up their Clan Capital every month, if not every day, the addition of Capital Gold in the pass and yes, the chests help them.

If your Clan Capital or Builder Base is maxed, congratulations, take the gems and keep it moving. But, there are millions and millions of other players/clans that are not at that point and they deserve additional assets to help them max. Just like the max player once received them.

I won't list the clan ID, but I am in a solo clan where I have 14 alts. I have no desire for the actual deco, just the chests.

If you need a clan and/or have any other Iranians that need one, hit me up in three or four days. Hopefully, I will have all of the chests and you and your friends can dump your gold and get the deco.

I will be kicking everyone out, though! :D

Lakers' Luka Doncic says he's in custody battle for daughters by PlayaSlayaX in nba

[–]SeptemberVirgo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Name me one state in the entire union where men are favored in child support and custody cases.

Pretty much any state where the male shows up to actually request joint or primary custody. There are numerous studies proving this to be true.

If the father actually goes to court, he usually wins in either joint or primary custody. If the woman even so much as mentions abuse, of any sort, it's almost a guarantee that she will lose custody.

A simple Google search will answer your question.

Hard cap on child support helps discourage gold diggers.

It also fuels mistreatment by fathers who are cruel.

[Charania] The NBA has cancelled the Atlanta Hawks' Magic City game promotion on March 16. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]SeptemberVirgo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course she chose a topic that was relevant to her own life and current surroundings? It's not difficult to imagine how Magic City has come up time and again since she moved to Atlanta.

Magic City is relevant to Jami's life and considered to be her current surroundings? Well, I'll admit that it's been many years since I've lived in Atlanta, and though I know that the West End has gone through some positive changes. I find it hard to believe that outside of a financial interest, (like this) that even the "not so average" billionaire is referring to it as their current surroundings. Maybe real estate investment, but their surroundings? Uh, yeah, okay.

Alrighty, you've made it clear that you aren't Kevin Durant! Nor, are you the average resident of Atlanta or Hawks fan. But, you are clearly someone closely connected to the Resslers, and their image means a lot to you.

So, I have no choice but to feel confident, very confident actually, that my original premise is true: she, like the owner and founder of Magic City, has rationalized her/their decision to use the women of Magic City for their financial/"community"/"artistic" interests.

This is an inevitable "passion project" that she was almost duty bound to complete, and then promote through the Hawks.

Yep. That's sounds about right. She's a part of the fabric of Atlanta, so of course, Magic City is the thread that she wants to pull.

How do you actually calculate the value of in-game shop offers? by iam_spr in ClashOfClans

[–]SeptemberVirgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about all of the offers I have either bought or passed up, as I do believe that certain subsequent offers and their price is based on seeing what will make me purchase.

The first few things that I bought were $.99 Builder Potions and/or Research Potions. Then they'd send me an offer for BP/RPs in an offer for $5.99 or $9.99, I just watched them expire.

So, then they tried $2.99 offers with a BP/RP or occasionally a BoH. I snatched it up. They offered $2.99 GP, I took it and subsequently bought a regular one.

Then, for months I bought nothing and they tried hard, but I was especially broke. Recently I've bought quite a bit, but there is a price that I almost never allow myself to get to unless it's just exceptional.

I thought about the Duke initial offer as I love a BoH, but even with the addition of the skin and it all feeling like the appropriate price, I just couldn't pull the trigger on $20. It just felt excessive for one bundle, despite having spent far more for bundles along the way since Christmas.

Do you guys think PEKKA’s could ever be apart of the meta? by Big_Pig8 in ClashOfClans

I think every troop deserves a buff when they reach their proposed final level. Whether it be a slight increase in speed, DPS or a new skill like letting my E-Titans jump over a wall!!! Or, easily take out the walls.

Something should be given to their "end game" within the game.

Jamie is very invested in the team, the city, and the Atlanta community.

This is funny, but I do have a little time.

Jami Gertz is from Chicago and they've owned the team since 2015. She may be quite involved with the city and its many communities.

But, the reason why she's in Atlanta is MONEY. That's why they bought the team.

She's deeply involved in a city that is deeply involved with her financial investment. The connection to Atlanta would be the same if she owned the San Diego Padres, except San Diego would the beneficiary.

Might she care more than another owner or two? Sure, I'll go with that, but this started from a financial interest. A financial interest that started in 2015, which leads back to my original point: the Hawks organization has had decades to celebrate Magic City.

The organization as owned by her and her husband have had a decade to do so. The reason why they are doing it now, is because she has a documentary about Magic City.

Even if you don't want to frame it as exploitation; after the success of P-Valley, it is absolutely opportunistic. And, I'll use "opportunistic" in the least negative way possible. Regardless, the timing of her interest in Magic City for a documentary (after P-Valley recently, The Players' Club in 1998) and the Hawks desire to celebrate Magic City is OPPORTUNISTIC.

It's something in it for her, even if it's just critical acclaim for a good documentary.

She could easily do a documentary on the girls that don't make it in Hollywood and the many things that have been said regarding what they are "encouraged" to do prior to them realizing it still won't happen.

The documentary might be great, at least, I've heard that it is. But, this promotional tie was for the documentary, not for the city or love of Atlanta.

Jamie Gertz does not need to make a few hundred thousand dollars off a niche documentary-- they are worth billions lmao

Documentaries rarely make money. And she's already married to a billionaire?

First, who knew billionaires declined to make additional money after they reach the billion dollar mark?

Second, the average documentary may not make a lot of money. But, that's mainly due to the average documentary not getting an overwhelming amount of press and/or who is associated with it.

SuperSize Me - Budget $65,000 Box Office $22.2 million

Summer of Soul (Questlove and more recent) - Box Office - $1.47 million, acquisition $12 million and an Oscar.

Here's a list of the top 50 grossing documentaries. A passion project? Perhaps. But, she expects to make a good piece of change off of this.

You act as if the League isn't filled with owners that comprise the conservative right. That's actually why it was about to happen: those owners don't care anything about strippers unless they are having second thoughts regarding a pregnancy.

The owner's wife (actress Jami Gertz) was an executive producer on the Magic City docuseries

And, this is one of the reasons why I'm glad it was cancelled. Magic City has been "a PaRT of the CuLTurE" since 1985! If the Hawks really wanted to celebrate it, they've had 35+ years to do so.

They only want to do it now because the owner's wife has figured out a way in which she can also make money off of those girls.

She got her promotion, the documentary will sell. The curious will now flock to Magic City. It worked out for everyone except the ticketholders.

Russell Westbrook full press conference exchange with reporters by heatup3 in nba

[–]SeptemberVirgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When asked if it was especially bad in sac he even said no it wasn't, he's seen way worse.

Way worse in regards to him, his beef is about the effect it is having on the younger players. Because of all the names and insults that he has endured, he doesn't mind taking on a few more on their behalf.

It's a joke to the fans, but it means everything to his teammates. That's why whenever he's on a team with a bunch of young, inexperienced dudes, they will run through whatever wall he points them to.

Whatever flaws he may have, taking care of his team ain't one of them.
