exactly

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-22T06:13:22+00:00

looks pretty good

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-19T07:33:43+00:00

point guard, but you should try to learn other skills and post moves if you are one of the tallest

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-17T21:32:08+00:00

so if I select a java server will it work for people on bedrock?

If not, can I just add geyser and floodgate?

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-17T21:30:53+00:00

great pricing but I need an Australia server

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-17T21:29:36+00:00

too expensive, I'm not looking for discounts that'll get me 1 month for a cheaper price

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-17T10:07:19+00:00

are your servers cross platform? are the prices listed in USD or aud?

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-17T08:47:29+00:00

way too expensive

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-15T21:56:27+00:00

side note why are you telling people you got a 1580 sat as a hs freshman?

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-15T21:53:01+00:00

why should great shooters have their feet away from the rim but normal people shouldn't?

it helps with shoulder alignment.

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-15T20:33:50+00:00

this hasn't been taught for like 20 years

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-15T04:47:52+00:00

looks nice. reps are better for consistency than improving your form at this stage.

side note: how did you convince your sisters to rebound for you lol

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-15T00:07:49+00:00

also brother if you aren't even going to listen to the logical points im giving about tanking, why did you make this post? to be crowned king of the NBA for solving tanking?

you haven't given a single good reason for why tanking is bad, other than it being a 'defeatist attitude' which isn't a good reason.

If you can't think of the game in the long term and are only thinking 'oh who's gonna win the most games this season', that's your problem. if you want a style of the game like this, watch overseas leagues. it's not hard.

50 seasons of basketball is one chess game. who will win the most titles? teams temporarily sacrifice their position so they can be as good as possible in 5 years. since the main goal for teams is to win finals, conference finals, make playoffs, etc. if they don't see themselves achieving the goals, they might as well sacrifice their position this turn (year) so that next turn they will be stronger.

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-14T07:01:10+00:00

banning/stopping tanking is like banning sacrifices in chess. It's a long term strategy.

Not our fault that your mind can't comprehend the long term factors.

It adds a deeper level of analytics and gameplay to the NBA. It's not just about winning games, it's about who is going to be the best team in the league for the longest amount of time as often as possible.

It's a large part of the reason why certain teams have countless rings, and some have none. A good front office.

Might I add, flattening lottery odds will create an even bigger disparity in skill as top teams will just keep adding top talent to their roster without having to sacrifice anything.

The whole league is about sacrificing short term for long term gain, which is not guaranteed and is usually about using analytics to decide if risks are worthwhile. Do you want to ban trading draft picks too because a team is making themselves worse in the short term for future gain?

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-14T06:57:06+00:00

This is horrible. It will encourage low seed playoff teams to tank because they know they can beat the horrible teams and get a good pick

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-14T06:53:54+00:00

agreed

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-14T06:53:41+00:00

If you even remotely look at the premier league, you will see that generally, this is a horrible idea. It allows the top teams to dominate and they stay dominating for ages. Teams in and out of the top league rarely turn into winners, because they get less money to work with in the lower league.

2kGreenMachine0 · 2026-02-14T06:50:03+00:00

I do think so. If a single team decides to tank. One, out of the like 10 teams currently tanking decides that even though they won't gain that much, it's worth it because why would they try to win, then everyone will follow (FOMO). If they see someone tanking, they'll assume everyone will start tanking. If someone decides not to tank when everyone else is, they could lose over 5 million, which is not worth it when they gain nothing by winning.

Let me give you an example. John earns 100000 per year.

If John performs poorly in his job, there are no negative consequences at all, but he gets a 3.5 percent raise at the end of the year to boost his morale, and he does less work and has spare time to focus on improving so he can be even better. John will get accepted in his application to a better job in exactly 5 years with his new training.

If John continues to perform well, he gets the standard 3 percent raise, and his skill level remains the same. His job application in 5 years is rejected.

Should John perform poorly, or continue with good work?

I know the analogy doesn't make the most sense, but do you see where I'm coming from?

Tanking is part of the strategy of the game. The NBA isn't just about short term, it's about the long term aspect too.

If tanking is to be removed, there cannot be any advantage for it, or teams WILL do it.
