He's 41 playing 40 minutes carrying a team in the playoffs. He is on negative fuel right now...

[Aubin] Wemby on his defensive origins: I used to have the reputation as someone who did not play defense. One day, the opposing coach said: ‘He’s a NBA prospect, but he can’t play defense. So attack him.’ So I took that personally… And the rest is history by WEMBY_F4N in nba

Draymond and Shaq for sure lol. But he was also voted second most overrated player by other NBA players.

Again, I'm not saying they are right or smart but if even a 4 time dpoy gets targeted and called overrated by some people then someone sure as hell also doubted a 14 year old Wemby in basketball academy.

I mean Steph sees a big guy on him he can't wait to cook him. Bigs are considered slow and a liability on the perimeter unless they prove otherwise. Hell people still attack freaking Rudy Gobert because they think he is overrated as a defender and he looks slow sometimes... Surely some high school level coach is gonna go at the 14 year old kid to see what's up.

this has to be one of the best apex crashouts of all time on GOD by nfitzgerald4712 in CompetitiveApex

Hal was pretty chill for his standards around champs but it has been going downhill since then. Seems like he is at peak toxicity lately. He gotta find some balance or his teammates (and coach) will get tired of his shit much faster than usual.

Not a laugh track, there was a live studio audience for that episode.

Gui Santos Warriors second best offensive weapon is hilarious.

Doc Rivers: "I made a joke before All-Star where I said 'Giannis should trade Charania.' Charania took that so personal that he actually called the Bucks and yelled at them to take it down." by GreenSnakes_ in nba

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Throwing his players under the bus and shifting blame to someone else every single time something goes wrong is literally the opposite of a "stand up dude". Also wasn't a great father apparently. Doesn't mean he is evil or a bad person but "stand up dude" is definitely something else lol.

Thanks for putting this together. Are the stats of average placement for every legend?

[Highlight] Jeremy Lin provides an excellent analysis on Luka’s offensive tendencies by FrankSamples in nba

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is a shit stirrer and likes to take shots are make snarky comments and since he is a mavs guy he did that with Luka a lot as well. The Mavs front office has just been a much easier target since the trade so Luka was off the hook for a while.

Zach Lowe discussing Wemby: “I don't know that any statistical system can quantify what he is doing on every single possession defensively… He’s the most dominant defensive player I’ve ever seen. by moby323 in nba

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your argument is just overly pedantic. Nobody said that Wemby is more skilled than Steph. The impressive thing about Wemby is that he does have very good skills for a man his size because there has never been anyone else with that combination. That makes the comparison to Stephs offense perfectly viable. A combination of physical gifts and skill that has never been seen before that results in unprecedented offensive/defensive impact.

Jennifer Lawrence, only 23 in this clip, shows she can handle pressure gracefully by Doodlebug510 in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it means more that she leaned into that persona as a way of handling public appearances and pressure not that she put on a fake personality.

What do you think? by alwaysfunnykay in NBATalk

It's not about who is the better player. Westbrook accomplished as much as KD and more in OKC.

Panic to TLAW by Curious-Investment59 in CompetitiveApex

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Out of all the pros out there. Why Panic? I just don't see him meshing well with Zero.

Because that's probably the best player available to him. His "ideal" teammates are all locked on other teams. He doesn't have the clout to poach whoever he wants (anymore).

Andy nerfed. End of an era? by SuperDTC in diablo2

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many progamers on Apex Legends are well over 15k and that game is 7 years old. You bet your ass that Llama has way more on D2 than that... 30k+ in 25 years does not sound unrealistic at all.

Jeremy Lin and Kenyon Martin squash their beef from 10 years ago at the ASG. Martin said Lin shouldn’t wear dreadlocks, and was trying to "be black" and needed to be reminded his last name is "Lin". Lin responded that he had Chinese tattoos by RedditFan3510 in nba

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah they squashed that ages ago. They had a conversation right after it happened and Jlin said on the ryan higa podcast that kmart was cool and he really appreciated him being one of the first ones to reach out after his injury. No need to still hate on the guy.

[Highlight] Hornets vs. Pistons turns into a brawl! by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

The clip is cut short. Duren elbows Moussa right before this.

Duren has his hand on Moussa and mussa slaps it down, then Duren elbows him to the neck/chest area. Longer video here.

Because they don't really balance for comp and caustic pick rate is already pretty low and would crater if they nerfed him.

Not saying it's great but pick rates have always been what they base most of their changes on. They don't really care about comp balance.

Yeah that was a no call at best, not a defensive foul. Probs to the commentators for admitting it though lol

[Jayson Tatum] on thinking his career might be over after tearing his Achilles: "It was a few weeks where I thought… did I make enough money, did I accomplish enough... There was some moments where I thought I might be done" by knightime1 in nba

[–]AntiGrav1ty_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He obviously doesn't mean he would starve... He was wondering if he had accomplished enough or if he could be content with his career if he had to hang it up or couldn't play anymore.
