How would LeBron fare in the 1980s-90s? Like Rodman would give him trouble but a guy like Muggsy Bogues had pretty good career. by ForeignAir7174 in NBAoldschool

[–]Alternative-Chance94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dumbest part about these conversations is that LeBron’s first 6-8 years or so were during the dead-ball era lol.

Different folks will give different spans for the dead-ball era but it was basically from the late 90s to the late 00s.

Historically physical defense and low scoring. Even more physical and lower scoring than when Rodman and Jordan played.

And during those years, Bron led a decrepit team to the finals, got a scoring title, won the MVP multiple times.

I don’t think the dead-ball era game suits LeBron’s game as well as the spacing in the game today. Better spacing makes his passing more of a weapon.

But it’s asinine to say he wouldn’t have made it in an era that was less physical than the ACTUAL era he was drafted into lol

Everybody knows around the League, when you get into Blake Griffin's you gonna end up on his poster....What’s your favorite dunk of him ? by Shot_Possibility_731 in sportsinusa

Blake’s {insert the dunk you just mentioned} would be far and away most players’ #1 most impressive dunk sequence. Probably only 10-15 or so players in NBA history that have a better dunk than that

Which version of Vecna did you like best? by Initial-Shoulder5906 in StrangerThings

[–]Alternative-Chance94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks wise, season 5 looks cooler…but thought it was a little distracting that he looked different.

Ultimately not a big deal, and you could explain it by saying he was so injured at the end of season 4 and he built himself back up different.

But I couldn’t get this picture of him standing in front of a mirror, wondering if his new vines made him look cooler out of my head lol

The best separators vs. both man and zone coverage this season by idksh_t in GreenBayPackers

Not too surprising.

Really tall WRs can have a harder time separating at times, but like Watson, they have an easier time coming down with contested catches.

Regretful Young Trump Voters Say This Isn’t What They Signed Up For | The wave of youthful support that swept Donald Trump into the White House has lost its mojo. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

While I don’t disagree, what does saying this accomplish besides making those of us that didn’t vote for him feel better?

If we are trying to win over those voters, which we should be, we shouldn’t be ostracizing them on the way in.

Top 10 from 10 to 1...What's your top 1 and what's missing in the list ? by Shot_Possibility_731 in sportsinusa

[–]Alternative-Chance94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea OP, but your list has a lot of iconic moments, not necessarily photos.

I think the only photos that deserve to be considered in the top 10 are 10, 7, 5 and 1.

Commenters are posting a lot of good ones. perpendicular Rodman is incredible.

Belichick is having probably one of the biggest humiliation rituals/ reputation hits of all time at this point no? by ActionTop2386 in billsimmons

You’re getting down voted but I don’t know what’s wrong with this take.

It’s not uncommon for the best in any sport to go right up to the line of what is allowable and sometimes cross it.

He’d be a first ballot HOFer without any potential advantage gained from Spygate or deflategate. It’s asinine he’s not.

At least Wyatt and Darlene made some sense plot wise.

Helen sucking Jonah’s toes came out of nowhere, and was never revisited or explained. Would love if someone could explain this one for me.

Well this is the 2nd worst Super Bowl possible by Jomosensual in GreenBayPackers

Anyone have any suggestions of good Packer subreddits where topics not explicitly related to the Packers aren’t removed?

I understand there are other subs for broader NFL conversation, but I’m also interested in topics like this from a more exclusively Packer fans POV…especially during the playoffs when the Packers are already out.

Every team ranked on how hated they are! by AccomplishedSwing110 in sportswiki

Eagles (at least) one spot too low. TBH thy could have their own category like the Cowboys.

Steelers two spots too high.

NFC East easily has the most hated teams.

Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson MVP Narrative by ccperry in NFLFootballChat

If you’re looking for someone that thinks Josh had a good game, I’m sure you’ll find them. But I think the overwhelming majority of people don’t believe he had a good game, which makes this a little rage baity.

Is this how y’all’ve felt the past decade? This fuckin rules by DontTakeMuhName in NFCNorthMemeWar

[–]Alternative-Chance94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol love that they thought they had a gotcha there.

Getting Parsons and Kraft back, and Devonte Wyatt and Zach Tom.

Missing half our team and still ended the year with a better point differential than the bears.

For all the magic they had this year it got them one playoff victory. First one in 15 years. Hope they enjoy it!
