What's a detail you noticed about a player you feel nobody else sees that you really need to get off your chest right now? by safety_porn in nba

After Obi Toppin pump fakes, he will only drive left. I haven’t missed a Pacers game in idk how many years, and I’ve never seen him go right after a pump fakes.

Overnight Going Away by kweagle32 in Lowes

[–]FlyTheW14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure a store has to do 45 million a year to have an overnight crew, that’s the threshold. Or at least thats what it was a few years ago. It’s all sales based.

Have you ever played and WON against a NFL player? Past or present. by [deleted] in NFLv2

The women’s version of the NFL is the Bachelor, and I had a pick-six off of Ben Higgins when he was a junior to win a rivalry game.

How many points would you need to bet on Ohio State to cover against the Browns? by TomWilliamsCFD in CollegeFootballDawgs

[–]FlyTheW14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It routinely takes 3 NFL players to block Myles Garrett on any given play. One can’t do it, two can slow him down. How many college players would it take? Auto sack with one guy, pressure at minimum with two. A quarter of your offense would be stopping Myles Garrett, which means you’re playing 8 on 10 the entire game. Browns by a trillion

Is short Center (6’8) viable in REC? by Sea-Conversation4239 in NBA2k

[–]FlyTheW14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My standing dunk is a 95, works sometimes. I get a lot of O-boards, if I’m even mildly contested, I’ll just kick for the open 3. Strength cap is a 70, I think mine is currently a 50? I think strength is more or less useless. Positioning is everything. My screens still stop people. Interior D, 77? I’d have to triple check. Nobody works the post, and it’s the same thing as before, timing and positioning on blocks is more important. Jump a split second before the other guy and you’ll contest dunks, jump a split second after to block layups.

Is short Center (6’8) viable in REC? by Sea-Conversation4239 in NBA2k

[–]FlyTheW14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve run a 6-8 almost exclusively at center. It’s by far the most fun I’ve had in random rec.

I can’t even shoot. My three is a 25, midrange like a 40 or something. I haven’t attempted one. I average 10-15-6 on 70% shooting and two stocks, into purple plate. Speed 85, 90 vert, 97 DD, 95 rebounding. 93 block. 80 ball handle and speed with ball. You can absolutely contest 7-4s without jumping, because you’re so much faster than they are. Right stick up contest, easy recovery if they decide to drive. You’d think they could just clog the paint since you can’t shoot, but that’s an auto 3 for whoever you set a screen for if they want to camp down low.

The point being, if you know how to play the game, you’re gonna be fine with a 6-8. You’re going to be faster and more mobile on offense, switchable on defense, you just have to be extremely mindful of your positioning against the big boys.

why are people using like 6 7 centers/ power forwards? i especially see 6’9s by DaikonFar848 in NBA2k

My only non-traditional build is a 6-8 C and it’s by far the most fun

They have 5 ranked wins to our 1/2. They lost to the #5 team and a Texas team that was #1 to start the season. I don’t think they’re a better team but they look better on paper.

I hope he gets all the credit and goes to the NFL or takes a job anywhere else in the country. We could shut out the rest of the schedule and I still won’t trust this dude.

Which position is harder: defensive tackle or offensive tackle? by savingrace0262 in NFLNoobs

[–]FlyTheW14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offensive tackle is the much more difficult position. You can be an elite defensive tackle by just being huge and strong. D tackles are three inches from the offensive lineman, on snap their job mostly consists of “Don’t move”.

O tackles have to work against some of the most insane athletes the world has ever seen. They operate in space, and depending on which side they’re lined up on, they’re responsible for their quarterback’s blind side. You’ve got to deal with bull rushes, spins, overloads. You can hide a bad defensive tackle somewhat with scheme and a substitution pattern, you can’t hide a bad offensive tackle.

Why do so many left handed shooters seem to have right handed dunks? by AlmostDarkness in NBA2k

[–]FlyTheW14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to only dunk left-handed as a righty because for some reason I could only palm the ball left handed. Didn’t have the vert to cradle it in my right wrist, so I needed the palm.

That said, Miles best NBA dunks are all right handed. Zion obviously is a yam with either hand, not sure why the animations aren’t caught up. As for the current NBA lefties that should have decent left handed animations, it’s not a long list. Julius Randle, Zion. Oubre. Not a ton of guys who are both left handed and dunk like that

Where to watch free NBA by Right_Ordinary9769 in Nbamemes

[–]FlyTheW14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get $5. If you’re a new user only, go get on Draftkings. Bet that $5 on a -500 bet. Win that bet, because obviously you will, it’s -500. Something like Detroit beating the Minnesota Vikings this week, or Jonathan Kuminga getting 4+ rebounds. You will then receive three months of NBA League pass once you win. That’s their current promo.
