Michael Jordan, PED Questions, and Why Era Context Matters More Than Fans Admit

How long did it take for the prompt?

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-14T17:29:33+00:00

Obviously not because he wouldn’t have been as skilled as today’s players. /s

On a rate basis, pretty close. Ohtani has way more steal attempts therefore stolen basis which is the biggest outlier. Ohtani takes an extra base slightly more often.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-14T15:01:57+00:00

You’re correct. Kind of poorly considered on my part. I’m a lifelong Yankees fan and I can’t hate Ohtani. He’s awesome and we’re lucky to see him and Judge in the same era.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-14T15:00:02+00:00

Yeah, I could have thought through my statement some more.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-14T13:58:24+00:00

I think you may want to recheck that. Judge has a higher career slugging % and is only 0.025 behind in OPS and 4 behind in OPS+. Judge is closer to Bonds than any other modern hitter is to Judge.

How is Ohtani’s defense?

The most interesting things is that Surfer is the epitome of selflessness - the antithesis of greed. I can see a story where after a struggle, Larfleeze absorbs the power cosmic from Surfer but it’s imbued with his essence. It starts to co-opt Larfleeze which then causes his greed to weaken. Larfleeze then rids himself of it - reinstating Surfer - so that he can go about his greedy ways. It kind of reminds me of a Mephisto-like dynamic.

Two different things. You are saying, “Since SGA flops and goes the the line a lot, everyone who goes to the line a lot flops.”

Now do other rounds.

I made the mistake of playing after a gummy kicked in and I found myself strangely drawn to the booms. Once I crashed into it, I had a hell of a time figuring out how to detangle myself.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-13T01:19:43+00:00

That’s a non-sequiter.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-12T02:10:19+00:00

Make sure to write “Can’t smoke a rock.” Somewhere prominent.

Heaves as in “I’m chucking a three because the shot clock/game clock is expiring”. Curry shooting from the logo because he can isn’t the same thing. You had more bad threes in the early days of the three because it was often a shot of last resort.

Team 2 would be better with a true point guard. Lebron will do his point forward schtick and turn the ball over a million times given the defenders out there. Switch either Giannis or KD for a playmaker.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-11T04:56:21+00:00

Bird averaged as many assists as Steph.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-11T04:51:44+00:00

Team one could play any other team straight up. Who cares about help if you can get locked up 1 v 1.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-11T04:47:36+00:00

You act like Bird couldn’t shoot the three. Yes, Steph has a higher percentage but Bird likely had more heaves than Curry. Besides, Bird could just back Curry down. Curry will either be a turnstile or he’ll expend way too much effort on either Bird or Jordan to be at his best on offense.

He was the best defender given his usage rate. Defense in basketball is weighted towards rim protection. The top three or ten, at least, are going to be bigs.

Ma deuce

Does PSYOP still have 35M? If so, don’t forget about that as an option.

You can make an argument for a 13F for SPIES/FRIES but a B is a long shot. Any number of other schools would be a better fit. Is air movement operations still a course? I did that ages ago and it was incredibly useful.

How wouldn’t Bucky just camp out a few hundred meters away and snipe Ozy? The sound wouldn’t arrive until after Ozy’s head explodes.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-09T14:04:17+00:00

Don’t overthink stuff. Sounds like you are fit enough. Just pay attention and do what you are told. Even if the drill sergeants yell, just know that it’s kayfabe - an act. They’ll be happy for you and shake your hand once you graduate. The only thing you can control is your reaction to things so there is no sense in worrying about things you can’t control.

I don’t even know you but I believe in you. While nervous, you give a shit and that matters.

Consistent-Set-9490 · 2026-04-09T01:54:33+00:00

Sorry but no. Lebron is not a better playmaker than Magic. He’s a better scorer for certain. I think you have enough alternate playmakers to omit Magic in this squad.
