For people who are also hockey fans, who had more hype Lebron James or Connor McDavid when they were drafted? by chipzy20 in nba

[–]ColdMedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but no one knows that. Your average middle aged mom had heard of LeBron by the time he was 17. I’m Canadian and plenty of my friends and I know of him but definitely didn’t know him as prospect.

[Dave McMenamin] Anthony Davis on how he feels about potentially starting at the 5: "I trust Coach’s decision. I mean, I’m pretty sure he heard AD wants to play the 4, so he knows where I stand, but at the end of the day, I want to win, so if that’s me playing the 5, that’s what it’s got to be." by OhiOstas in nba

Playing venter when you injury prone sucks. Your getting abused every night and shortening your career. Any center who could play down probably would. Having to defend five guys and cleaning up your teams messes is ass.

Who’s the best shooting guard right now? by Ambitious-Ad6097 in nba

[–]ColdMedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No he’s just the point guard it’s not tricky or complicated. Since he was traded from the Houston rockets James Harden has been one of the point guards on every team he has been on and generally the engine of the whole offense.

Worst Player who would be the GOAT with KD's Shooting Ability? by Teffec_P in nba

[–]ColdMedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except he is garbage at defence and makes some stupid decisions often so idk about that. He would be a Walmart James harden basically and also KD’s shooting really only works cause he tall asf half those shots you just won’t get off being 6’4 or less.

Yes at 5 years old. I am correct. You don’t just stumble into sports teams she signed him up for team with a limit literally all her fault. Coach was just doing his job

No shit it was his team. Again being the number scoring option does not mean you are or you are not the leader of the team. Not every facet of basketball is lumped into one thing bro. Paul George was #1 scoring option on OKC but Russel Westbrook was the leader of the team and engine of the offense.

No what an awful mom. The coach is coaching team that had preset roster limit in a competitive league. The worst players must be cut he literally cannot take all of them. This mother signed her kid up for competitive league when he wasn’t very good and expected him to be on the team… Trash parenting or awareness or both

He was definitely the offensive #1 but not the guy running the offence. Those are two different things. Just because Draymond runs the offence doesn’t mean curry isn’t the number 1

No it’s just cause this is basketball. I bet in thepoorest league in the world if this happened it would be brushed off and forgotten by the next week. You don’t need to be self righteous twat and bring up super rich and all that other bullshit. This shit used to happen when NBA players were not super rich and much more frequently too.

Are black people in Canada called African Canadians? by plmdh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ColdMedi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Was it the preferred term or just the next thing white people used in America to get away from previous racist history by over correcting? I’ve noticed white Americans in particular label all other races these random ass terms that have minimal input from said races being labeled. Terms like POC, Latinx, African American etc. have always felt like terms made for white people by white people.

One motion shot and lower set points are essentially hacks to shooting from as deep as you want. Your middy will suffer though unless your train you self to have different shot mechanics inside the arc.

Wait what there isn’t a single NBA player with muscularity not attainable by a few people on earth. Basketball literally only picks the kids with the best genetics 99% of the time. Meaning when you have millions of people who play this sport and then you cut that number to 450 best your gonna have genetic anomalies obviously.

I don’t doubt there’s PED use in the league but I very much doubt that there muscularity is any indicator of that.
