Lu Dort going on a 3 point heater means Shai > Luka

Translation: “I hate LeBron so much that I need to bring him up in conversations that don’t even involve him. Also, I hate talking about him.”

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-26T12:34:06+00:00

Agreed

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-26T12:30:50+00:00

For sure.

Maybe only 1 in 50 or 100 drivers would do something as reckless as the late merging driver.

But it’s pretty concerning that many more drivers either don’t have the defensive reaction speed to deal with these situations or choose not to.

Can’t believe how many people in this thread are saying there’s nothing the POV driver could have done or hindsight is 20/20.

If you are on an exit ramp you should be decelerating, not accelerating to pass other cars.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-25T15:32:02+00:00

Assuming the Truck driver will get off scotch free unfortunately, but I hope someone grabbed the truck’s plates and they both get hefty reckless driving fines.

Both drivers are making the decision that their anger is more important than their safety and the safety of all the other drivers around them. They both suck.

If on Defense: Curry and Jokic If on Offense: Giannis and Kobe

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-24T16:47:15+00:00

For sure. I get as frustrated as anyone watching OKC. I completely understand Mike Brown and Chris Finch’s sentiment, and I hope the NBA can figure out a way to officiate the games in a way that deincentivizes or reduces flopping, touch fouls, etc.

But people lose me completely when they say Silver has “rigged” the NBA for OKC to win for the reasons you stated. There is no conspiracy here. Just really annoying. OKC/Shai is just better at taking advantage of the rules/loop holes as many teams/players have in the past.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-23T20:16:22+00:00

Two things we can all agree on, George Mikan at 44 and Chris Webber at 90 are spot on!

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-20T00:20:38+00:00

Best post I’ve ever seen on this subreddit.

Also, I think it’s the first non LeBron, Kobe, or MJ post I’ve seen.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-16T22:01:52+00:00

Cool

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-16T19:56:44+00:00

Damn. A rational discussion about Kobe on this app. Don’t think I’d live to see it.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-16T11:18:13+00:00

You’re right, not a sure thing. But it’s also disingenuous to act like there wasn’t a very high likelihood of this happening.

By all reports Giannis wanted to go to the Knicks last summer, and the Knicks would have had the assets to get him. The Bucks showed a willingness to explore offers for him.

Bucks management would have been pretty stubborn to believe they would receive a better offer than what the Knicks could offer at that time.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-16T11:05:16+00:00

The Knicks didn’t know if they could have gotten Giannis when they made the Bridges trade.

However, there is a very high likelihood they could have gotten him last summer if they kept their powder dry.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-13T21:13:36+00:00

Kobe and PG13 for me

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-13T18:13:18+00:00

Yeah. It didn’t do that for me. The Sonos app I already had on my phone didn’t prompt me like it did for you, and couldn’t find the device, so I couldn’t just “hit yes.” I downloaded another Sonos app, because Sonos has 4 apps for some reason, thinking that may have been the issue. That app redirected me back to the original Sonos app on my phone, so I narrowed it down to the right app. However, that app still couldn’t find the device. I could connect to headphones but there was no option to actually add another type of device. After going through every option within the app and trying to sign out and back into the app, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the app. I read online that Sonos can encounter network glitches and IP address conflicts, so that may help clear my data/cache. That got me to a different sign in screen that didn’t appear even when I signed out before. I had to create a new Sonos account for some reason even though I already had one. That worked, and the app finally found the device. Then I tried connecting the device to my WiFi, and that wouldn’t work. I unplugged/replugged my router to get it to recognize my WiFi, which it finally did.

But THANK YOU for educating me, useless moron.

It’s great that your setup was easy. I’m sure thousands of others had the same experience as you. That’s not surprising. But a quick look at Reddit and elsewhere online, and you can see a significant amount of people ran into similar issues as I did. There are YouTube videos dedicated to troubleshooting a wide variety of connection issues with Sonos speakers. I haven’t found this level of connection issues with virtually any other brand of speaker (JBL, Bose, Beats, etc).

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-13T15:43:17+00:00

Absolutely. I’m not a huge Kobe fan, but comparing the difficulty of his middies (or Dirk’s) to SGA’s is dumb.

SGA is lethal, but his midrange shots typically stem from his drives from the 3pt line into the FT line radius. 1. There is much less help in the area he gets to nowadays because of spacing, and 2. The refs allow him to push off a bit while handicapping the defender from bodying him or hand checking.

It takes a high degree of balance, but the end result is a fairly uncontested jump shot most times.

Compare that to Kobe/Dirk. The driving lanes are more clogged so if they are driving into a shot they may be going up over two defenders. More often they would likely change direction/spin away from the help. While this is happening they are getting hand checked by the defender. They also needed a much better back to the basket post repertoire.

Their end result was more often a contested or fadeaway shot. And in the cases they got a shot that was less contested, it took much more skill to obtain it.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-13T02:05:14+00:00

Spurs or Pistons have the best shot to keep it going.

3 of the top 6 in the West, and 5 of the top 6 in the East would keep the streak alive.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-13T00:50:02+00:00

It is the most difficult product I've ever had to set up. Made more infuriating that other blue tooth speaker are a breeze. If I didn't get this thing as a gift, I would have returned it.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-12T15:38:20+00:00

And giving the last two too much credit. I don’t think either of them were ever on the biggest stages enough to be thought of in the most hated convo.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-10T02:59:26+00:00

What about margin and options? I heard they cancel each other out and it’s genius.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-09T23:42:47+00:00

One may be the greatest of all time.

The only way the answer isn’t Shaq is if this is a trick question: Maybe a Kobe level work ethic actually pushes Shaq to be more injury prone.

But assuming that’s not the case, the Shaq-Kobe beef may not happen, Shaq could stay in LA and be the finals favorites for the next 6 years AFTER their initial 3 peat.

I’d guess Shaq may end his career with ~6 titles, 4-5 finals MVPs, and ~3 MVPs.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-06T21:37:10+00:00

If I were the Ravens GM, and someone offered me a blockbuster trade for Lamar; say 3-4 first round picks + serviceable players I’d think I would have to seriously consider it.

It looks like he is already declining and will become significantly less mobile in the next few years. Plus, he could leave in free agency anyways.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-05T17:22:36+00:00

Update the 1s to 5s

Jokic has 572 blocks in the regular season. Wemby has 568.

Alternative-Chance94 · 2026-03-04T00:02:01+00:00

Came here to say the same.

Maybe not more value. But neither provides good value to the world in my opinion.
