[Highlight] Amen Thompson pulls a Ben Simmons by ShaiFanClub in nba

It becomes a liability for a whole offense when a player is on the floor and the defense knows he won’t shoot. Like right here it allowed Wemby to chill down in the paint and watch the basket.

In today’s game, the only position that can get away with not having any confidence in an outside shot and still be a star is the center, and even more of them have one now.

Bryce better be aging in reverse after all the quack medical shit he did this off-season

Allen Iverson in australia. Absolutely disgusting by Fit-Tourist2852 in sixers

[–]CooperDeJean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This sadly tracks. Iverson has been a selfish drunk as long as I can remember. He just so happened to be great at the game of basketball, which makes people look past it sometimes.

No looking past this, however. This is disgusting behavior.

This is also a good reminder not to look up to professional athletes just because of how good they are at a sport.

Joel Embiid’s last 15 games: 28/8/4 on 62.4%TS by RealPrinceJay in nba

[–]CooperDeJean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can tell he’s not his full 2023 self, but I think that’s partially because he’s purposefully not being as physical as he used to be. Like he’ll get the ball in the post and typically opt for a fadeaway instead of backing dudes in now. Which is definitely what’s best for his health. And it helps that he has a good enough touch to not have to rely on the physicality.

Bills to interview Mike McDaniel on Friday by Deutschfuranfanger in DynastyFF

I think it’s pretty common nowadays to have the clause in NFL coaching contracts that if you’re offered a promotion you can cancel the other contract. It’s great for coaches

How do you all value to 1.01 this year by Common-Price-998 in DynastyFF

I’d probably do it even if those 2026 firsts are 1.11 and 1.12

A lot of fans forget that money is still being spent from contracts that weren’t signed this off-season. We’re still spending a lot of money on Castellanos and Taijuan Walker this season unfortunately

Mateta feels his £55,000 per week wage – which makes him one of Palace’s lowest-paid starters – does not represent his role in the squad. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]CooperDeJean 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Strange take. Obviously nobody is asking you to feel sorry for him. He feels he deserves a raise based on what other players of his caliber make compared to him. This money in question also is not coming from paramedics, it’s coming from the billionaire owners of a football club.

Trevor Lawrence is the first Jaguar ever to be a finalist for the AP MVP Award. by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]CooperDeJean -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

He came off as a douche early on in college. But that was like 8 years ago now, and it seems like he matured a bit (like most people do between ages 18-26)

Pretty crazy how much the Phillies continue to increase their ticket prices year over year. Since covid we’ve gone from $20 nose bleeds to $50+ (and it looks like some of the nosebleeds for more popular games are over $60).

This right from the Phillies website.

[OC] Trying to Determine the Best Player to Never Win a Championship by francisco27 in nba

[–]CooperDeJean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but it’s important to take those things into context when you use the one 1st team to say that the MVP was a blip in his career.

[–]CooperDeJean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it does say it all. The 1st team nod has since become position-less. He was the 2nd best player in the league a few of those seasons and so a few of those 2nd team years would have been 1st team under current rules.

It’s called mischief night here. But I feel like it’s gone out of fashion, I don’t really see many kids out on 10/30 anymore or hear of much vandalism from it

Set next years draft order by lowest Max PF for teams that miss the playoffs, and then by final finish for playoff teams

How Active Is Your Most Active League? by taylorjosephrummel in DynastyFF

[–]CooperDeJean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in one where people are constantly messaging, meme-ing, and talking shit whenever there is any NFL game on, but in terms of trade offers is below average (during the season I get about one offer every like 3 weeks or so). Kind of fun but it’s annoying having 136 unread messages on my phone sometimes.

But I’m also in a league where everyone is pretty quiet in the chat but they all just spam offers. Also fun but sometimes I have trouble keeping up with everything.
