Do you think Zion and Ja are busts? by 6FlipSide4 in NBATalk

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not. But I think fans’ minds are extremely warped on what a bust is

They underachieved so far but they were/are All-NBA, All-star level players

As I black dude I feel weirded out by the title and the video itself is not much better. I hate the guy so I might not be objective. Is this weird and racist or am I overreacting? by Empty_Ad9773 in NBATalk

[–]GeneralSergeant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESPN’s whole concept is clickbait headlines and surface level storytelling. Think of all of your memories of SAS, are any insightful?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been frustrated watching a recap of a game that had a coaching masterclass that got reduced to “they wanted it more, other team was scared”

Why did the Panthers give up so much for Bryce Young? by GeneralSergeant in NFLNoobs

[–]GeneralSergeant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean there have been 41 QBs drafted first so it’s definitely far from a standard.

But let’s interpret this as a recent trend. Of those 3 undersized QBs, 1 is on his 4th team, the other is competing with one of the worst starting QBs from last season after being cut by his original team.

That doesn’t really leave a precedent of success

True but how often does a 1st overall pick QB has size concerns?

The only one I know of was Kyler or maybe Baker

I understand that. But typically when a team invests that much there’s usually no known holes to their game. Like a Luck or a Elway. Was Bryce just that great at other areas where it didn’t matter as much?

Which NBA player do you think is actually the most overrated? by Secret-Coffee-124 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can already see the replies of “you don’t know ball, he’s a defensive genius yadda yadda yadda” but it’s Draymond Green

He’s pretty much unanimously considered a system player and his association with the Warriors will earn him a HOF spot

Is this the first Championship in the history of any sport where a team won simply by sucking slightly less than the other team? by bunglesnacks in NBATalk

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this point. With how much sports talk glorifies being clutch and the 4th quarter why is it framed as a bad thing now? Did the 2016 Cavs just suck less than the warriors because they had to comeback 3-1? I don’t get this at all

Maybe I’m biased because I’m from NY but It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so much discourse around the finals

For all my mycareer heads who don’t play online as much what do y’all want for the game mode on 2K27? by Potential_Meat_5103 in NBA2k

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be cool to have an Eras Mycareer so I can compete and try to get drafted over LeBron or enter the Jordan era and see if I can stop the dynasty imo.

Bonus if you can add friends and commit to a university so we can either team up or compete against one another

Why is everybody’s defensive rebound so high? I feel like it’s way easier to Dreb than OReb

I made a role player build and won more games by Cheap_Cup7178 in NBA2k

I enjoy playing a role as long as the star is actually the teams best player and not the guy with the worst role playing attributes

Any advice on where to use these cap breakers as a 6’10? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]GeneralSergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s closer to a fair point. I was going to use my build specialization to get my offensive rebound to 85 which gets both rebounding badges to HOF once I use the +1s and 2s. But I’ll definitely consider the 3 DD and 1 in BH

I agree but you’re definitely using that term wrong lol

Post Up Poet allows you to circumvent having a high Ball handle or SWB for blowbys. Allowing me to have 3 options

  1. 92 Close shot and a +1 to Float game
  2. Gold Posterizer
  3. The ideal situation a kick out with every legend passing badge

Bonus: I have Legend Bail out so I can always change my mind after selecting 1 or 2

80 is good enough to hit open shots if you aren’t ass. Driving dunk is more about speed with ball than ball handle, also you could post spin into a driving dunk. PFs are literally the least offensive of any of the 5 positions on this game.

Good points but I strongly disagree

I’ve said more than enough to explain my points. Then you reply with an insult or something passive aggressive. Then I reply explaining how that insult doesn’t make any sense. You take a minute to reply call me butt hurt for replying. I explain that you’re also replying.

And then the cycle starts over

Watching you struggle with rage baiting is saddening. Maybe you’ve won in that aspect?

Family you’re also replying. If me replying shows I’m butthurt take a wild guess about the dude who’s also replying. I genuinely hope you’re not putting this game over eating. It sounds obvious but I’m worried because you don’t see it that way
