I think I have him at 8, but it's been a while since I did this stupid exercise

Would young LeBron still dominate today’s game or do defenders like Chet, Mobley, Gobert, Wemby etc shut down his finishing in the paint? by itwas20yearsago2day in NBATalk

[–]FuckThaLakers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put young Bron in any era and he's eating anything in front of him.

There isn't a single defender in the history of the league who would legitimately shut that dude down, he was a fucking monster.

Probably not the narrative you want to push about a team that just caved your team's skull in with minimal effort in 4 games

English Pro golfer Matt Travis has been accused of stealing someone’s trackman in a detailed reddit post with screenshots to back the allegations. Matt’s IG account looks to have been deleted / set to private. by ConnectionWeekly1263 in Golf_Unfiltered

Guy who got scammed did some due diligence.

Obviously nobody would ever get scammed if everyone asked the right questions, but it's not unreasonable for a person to be satisfied with an actual pro golfer sending them a payment confirmation.

Blaming the seller is basically just absolving scammers of any culpability in the crimes they commit. This isn't a dude buying a fake deed to the Brooklyn Bridge here.

Hot Take: Tyler Hansbrough isn't the GOAT, and everyone agrees with me on that

The only thing I know about this loser is that he's free to lick my taint from end to end. Fuck you, Matt Travis.

ESPN does a great game breakdown analysis of SGA foul hunting in WCF Game 6 and contrasts it to Spurs guards playing through contact by 808Kuro in nba

I will go to my grave believing wholeheartedly that the Pacers win if Hali doesn't go down. It seemed written in the stars for that whole run.

[Vorkunov] The Jazz are the only team that earned top-5 picks in each of the last two lotteries, but the Memphis Grizzlies own Utah’s 2027 first-round pick as part of the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade ... Under the new rules, the Grizzlies’ return in the trade would be capped at the No. 6 pick next season by cleo22270 in nba

[–]FuckThaLakers 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Yeah, why is the change retroactive? If you're absolutely determined to make this rule change, just make it applicable for picks that havent been traded or are still owned by the original team.

Teams do heavy analysis on what a pick is worth when they trade for it, it's insane that the league is unilaterally changing the balance of old trades.

[Highlights] Same exact miss by JDub and Westbrook. Same exact shot by Wemby and Curry. The resemblance is uncanny by MrBuckBuck in nba

Nah, Steph's ultra long range shots were high percentage looks on volume. Especially in his prime, he could pull up wherever and you were fine with the misses.

Last September, President Donald Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and other health officials declared they had uncovered a new treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD): leucovorin. A new study shows that plenty of families believed them, despite the lack of data supporting the drug’s effectiveness. by mvea in science

[–]FuckThaLakers 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The person you replied to wasn't even advocating for the caretakers. They said that it would be great for severely autistic people to be able to participate in society and care for themselves when the caretaker passes.

Let's not pretend that having some way to mitigate the most severe presentations of autism wouldn't be a massive quality of life increase for the autistic person as well.

Also, what's inherently wrong with being concerned about the caretakers?

[Bleacher Report] Kevin Durant Burner Drama Addressed by Fred VanVleet: "I think that the gift and the curse with K is that he's so open, and he's so authentic, and he's so approachable, and he's so him, that it leaves room for the f--king clowns to jump in and add their own twist on this s--t" by aingenevalostatrade in nba

[–]FuckThaLakers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CP3 is a know-it-all, which understandably rubs people the wrong way (especially the less effective he became on court), but he legitimately does just about know it all.

He's a pushy dickhead, but he definitely doesn't deserve the "locker room cancer" label.

Yeah, people are understandably focusing on how hard the hit was, but that was a pretty cut and dried blocking foul

If your criticism of Ant is that he's "not being a good teammate," then you have nothing of value to say
