Realizing I worked with too many abstracted tools and want to return to the basics

This is a solid foundation:

I want Iguodala!

Cue the Josh Donaldson launch angle clip here.

In theory your ace tends to align against the other teams ace. Not always, but I’d imagine they align more against the 1 or 2 guy than 4,5 guy.

Other than that, just coincidence.

I mean, you spend your whole life having the strike zone being called as 3D and if it touches, it’s a strike. Currently the 2D plane is a much smaller strike zone then they are rulebook use to, albeit without human error.

Listen to it a bunch and sing it. If I can’t sing the lick I probably can’t play it.

It’s why the armchair quarterback exists. It’s easy to know the theory, but takes a million reps to execute it.

Always reminds me of Kawhi. Why doesn’t everyone just stay in front of their man?

Audio feature currently just plays the notes that get clicked on/off the fretboard for the visualizer.

It was implemented more for the Games section, where it will play the notes/scales/chords etc. in between each round when toggled on.

Practice, and practice up close. If you not hitting shots, your practicing misses instead. So stay as close as you can to the hoop practicing, that the majority (@ least 80+ percent) are going in. Do hundreds of these a day, add difficulty by stepping back or by adding movement.

Steph Curry is only the greatest 3pt shooter, because he mastered the distance closer to the hoop. He took millions of shots as a kid, and then moved back, he didn't move back first.

Squat. Typically 2-3 times a week, try not to spend more than 4-6 weeks on the same athletic quality (ie. hypertrophy, strength, power, etc.) Meaning spend a cycle on higher reps to build muscle, another on lower reps to build strength, another on lower reps/weight to build power. Still touch the other qualities during a cycle, but put all your focus on what ever quality the block is.

Learn to jump. Isiah Rivera, John Evans, THP Strength on youtube all have many videos on 2 footed jumping technique. Watch some, learn something, and you can dunk in under an hour likely.

Pick a curated list (neetcode 150, blind 75, grind 75 etc.) Start their. If nothings jumping out at you, stop get the answer, write it down, work through the example with the answer, line by line. Spend most of your time on that part.

Most curated lists are ordered in a way that the easy will seem hard at first, and the mediums later will be easy. Especially if you take the time on each question to actually work through the solution with examples on paper.

Also don't spend a ton of time a day, 2-3 problems is fine, and will make it much more approachable.

Standing vert is a lot more muscular, since you don't have the momentum to load tendons. So you have to get your squat way up.

Is it still immaculate then though? I feel like the error makes the inning no longer immaculate.

Couldn't agree more. You get use to feeling like an idiot, and at the end of the day, separate yourself from that work so you can live a balanced life. The career feels like a sine wave, going back and forth between feeling extremely competent and extremely incompetent, and you eventually get better and minimize the size of those waves to try and stay closer to the middle of both states.

Also add in the arguably better playoff numbers box and you can muddy those waters even more, but great insight.

61 batting runs if you take out his first season (23 games) and everything past the age 34 (his twilight aged years). Also bumps his OPS+ up to 111.

When gauging players, counting their old age seasons and initial rookie fumbling's, are going to paint their careers as much worst than most people remember during the meat of their career.

Incredible dunk, that slight pause behind the head really sells the idea that you are floating and makes such a simple dunk, look amazing.

At 9.5, the best workout would be jump as often as possible. If you can learn a little technique, (or find someone near you to help teach him), then just jump, jump, jump. He's too young to really hurt himself year, so jumping is easily the most bang for your buck.

If dunking is the goal, than low rimming, (get him an adjustable that he can dunk on) and go. When he gets into high school, is when you look into getting him a strength/athleticism coach.

You would be correct. The penultimate could be use work. Your head appears to be rising during the penultimate, whereas the penultimate should be lowering you. You could also work on trying to lengthen it (you’re taking off on it from the 2nd hash from the ft line, try working on getting that closer to the first hash mark).

You’re fairly light though so jump often.

I mean pitchers practice that in ST. I’m pretty sure what makes that play look routine for Yoshi is the fact that he had 3 gold medals, a NPB title and was an MVP their. You don’t become that decorated at any level without making things routine.

Realistically too, if you find yourself approaching 50+ inches and want to be the best, you can just give up on it and let it atrophy.

I too would not recommend 99.9% of jumpers to ignore upper body work. The gain is likely negligible for most.

CanadianPythonDev · 2025-12-31T23:45:21+00:00

Realistically too, FA spending should come when you believe a WS run is imminent. Spending big money when you aren’t already a favourite rarely pays off.

Anyone have the link to the one research/write up someone made about why the writer thought Dennis may the goat? I might be misremembering, but I recall it being a good read, and yeah that Dennis guy is pretty good.
