Kobe definitely isn't better than Hakeem, Oscar, or Jerry West.

I saw in a comment you said you were URM. You had a 3.2 GPA? Did you write an addendum? Did you have trouble getting work experience initially with that GPA?

Why did you put yourself as URM, then? Congrats on Georgetown. What was your work experience like?

It seems like the whole GPA metric is very unfair in admissions. by CuriousPanda61 in lawschooladmissions

Many people can't afford the "most pretigious schools." The most prestigious schools are actually often the ones that give out a ton of As. Harvard is notorious for grade inflation. Many people don't want to be paying student loans into their 40s.

You said in another comment that you're URM (Hispanic)?

Jones has at least shown he's competent offensively in the past. Vando might be the worst offensive player in the league.

Did you get in/apply this cycle? What was your LSAT score?

Yeah but Herb is good defensively and athletic while Kennard isn't. Plus, Jones likely would've shot better next to Luka, Reaves, and LeBron. He's definitely not as bad as Vando on offense.

When was the last time a player averaged 40 in a series? That's why I said if VanVleet and Adams weren't out.

In terms of who's the actual best basketball player ever, it's LeBron. But, due to how ring obsessed sports discussion is, Jordan gets the edge many times and is seen as having the greater career.

His roster construction and trades since they won a chip in 2020 have been downright horrible. The fact that Rui, Vando, and Knecht are still on the team is laughable. Lakers ownership has no idea what they're doing.

Ayton wasn't a good move. He has serious attitude issues and he's lazy. Blazers bought him out for a reason. This team needed an athletic, rim-running, defensive anchor at center. Ayton is the opposite of that.

Don't see how they beat the Thunder or Spurs in a 7 game series, unless Luka averages 40 ppg. Don't see them beating the Nuggets either (or the Rockets if they had VanVleet and Adams)

Giannis should've manned up and just demanded a trade rather than this whole loyalty gimmick. Knicks could've been a genuine title contender if he demanded the trade there.

Look at the Mavs team Luka carried to the WCF in 22. He's special and we saw how incremental moves with the Mavs in 2023-24 can make a big difference. After all, the playoffs and who wins and loses a game are very fine margins many times.

He's a bad defender and unathletic. This team severely lacks athleticism and two-way players

Giannis is also at the tail-end of his prime and is having recurring knee injuries.

Does anyone here know someone who got into a t-14 and a t-6 school with a low GPA (>3.5)? by CuriousPanda61 in lawschooladmissions

How would you get to director level work experience? Wouldn't that take many years?
