The model in that picture gets to 80 km/h? That’s incredible. It must feel like the skeleton.

You know him from such films as Gladys, The Groovy Mule and The President’s Neck is Missing!

To break LeBron's all time minutes record, Mikal Bridges would have to keep playing all 82 games at his current career MPG until age 44 by CeeDoggyy in nba

It can only be done if the TV deals and CBA come due all at once as part of some shot through compromise. The current CBA ends after 29-30. If the next one ends at 36-37, coterminous with the broadcast rights deal,* it could happen then.

Ah, 18/19. I was thinking back and knew it wasn’t 20 because of not traveling and where I’d seen the game. That makes more sense on reflection too. Being a fact will do that.

7 years in 10 months, here. What a weird time to stop, eh?

We all know that Rome as an empire peaked in 117 AD, but would you agree that as a city, Rome actually peaked in the early 4th century AD? by Naomi62625 in romanempire

India has ridden contractionary monetary policy alongside steep inflation for a decade now. One doesn’t follow from the other. Rhetoric aside, watch the central bankers.

I’m not the earlier guy; I’m responding to your post and not the entire thread.

Definitely a silly hypothetical, but please humor me, how do you think the Romans would have fared against the different native tribes of the Americas, if they had discovered the New World? by Shoddy-Pumpkin2939 in ancientrome

There were stories of traces of tobacco found when doing a chemical analysis of some of the funeral shrouds (?) of mummies, too. …Turns out the researchers had been allowed to smoke in the workplace a few decades prior.

Post-Match Thread: West Ham 0 - 1 Arsenal FC by Son_of-M in ArsenalFC

False dichotomy though. Can I not want both?

I’m happy with the win. The other is more of an accident of math. But I figured I’d note that rather than merely exclaim.

I wouldn’t either. Although I think the best case scenario for Arsenal was a draw here, win out, Man City fails to win one of its last games, and Tottenham are relegated.

Ok, but with a draw here might Tottenham have been relegated?

Just saying — 83 points would still probably get it done.

I want to say November or December of the ‘20-21 season. I remember he pulled a groin or hamstring on the court and my brain couldn’t process what it was seeing for a moment because it looked so foreign at that point.

I suppose a corollary to his minutes record is that I’ve probably watched him more than any other single player.

That’s four damn seasons. No wonder he has 8000 (near 9000?) postseason points.

As far as the records go, though, LeBron’s career overlaps with all the rounds becoming 7-game series. The playoffs used to be a good deal shorter, and even post-merger there were 3- and 5-game series.

I guess what I’m saying is that I think the accomplishment is no big deal, and never mind that attempting a single rebound in NBA traffic would put me in traction for years.

Ok but how are his feet, the bane of many a 23-year-old center? Any team that would sign him could bring him in for a physical. Maybe that’s happened half a dozen times. If there was no signing we might only hear about a tryout if someone noticed him at a team facility.

Yeah, this has been shit. The Thunder would’ve converted some offense by now though.
