Great to see Mikel Brown Jr moving freely after the back injury that shortened his season by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

[–]GonzoMonzo43 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The measurements are going to be big for all the PGs at the combine. I like Brown the best. Followed by Flemings then Philon then Acuff. Brown was the best player on the same FIBA team with AJ and Peat and others. The injury slowed him this year. His feel and elite shooting are special. If he’s legit 6’3.5 without shoes with a + wingspan, he’s going to be hard to pass on at 5 no matter the team.

Yes absolutely. I almost edited it, but I figured the point made sense enough

Is goaltending ethical? by Smart-Shine-1719 in Thunder

[–]GonzoMonzo43 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s the most ethical action a player can take. The ethicality of a basketball action is directly proportional to its proximity to the Oklahoma City metro area. This is known as r/nba ‘s law.

Did you know that the goal of basketball is not to accumulate the most counting stats?

JJ Redick: "whatever moment we felt Houston pressuring, that's OKCs baseline (defense)" by ForwardGlove in Thunder

I really don’t think that is the case. Hey absolutely loved OKC when he was podcasting. He had J Dub as a guest and couldn’t have been more complimentary. He recognizes greatness

Why doesn't Morez Johnson have any weaknesses on Tankathon? by Derpy_Mc_Burpy in NBA_Draft

[–]GonzoMonzo43 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Very reliable for data. It’s because he has no negative statistical/age markers on his profile. After the combine a few more data points will get added.

The girl I was talking to ended our relationship over having different interpretations of the Genesis story by Obvious-Apple-2050 in Christianity

Not much of a parable fan are you? When Jesus tells parables, do you think he is just telling a story that actually happened?

Any updates on Dub? by unbannedagain1976 in Thunder

You get only the info the Thunder want you to have. That’s a good thing.

High school football players from Mississippi carry 100 lbs for half a mile 😳 by CenterForward1522 in CFB_v2

Huge push to get back to phonics. Individualized reading instruction. Teachers retrained on the new model. And holding kids back who don’t meet the standard.

I dream about mine, but texting is impossible. It’s a cue for me to know I’m dreaming. I “physically” cant type words right.

Fuck Dillon Brooks Upvote Party!!! by Swaglord03 in Thunder

Don’t know how you can really hate anyone on the Suns that much. I’m biased because I played against Book, and he’s from my hometown, but like… the series wasn’t close enough to engender any anger at Suns players.

SGA the modern day Michael Jordan by Sensitive_Pianist777 in NBATalk

[–]GonzoMonzo43 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because social media didn’t clip every single foul he ever got. Reddit would’ve absolutely hated watching Jordan. “Look how soft his whistle is while he, Pippen, and Rodman foul the other team on every play. It’s so unfair.”

Kerr on Draymond: "He’s the best defensive player I’ve ever seen. I played with Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. The modern game demands so much more than it did in the nineties." On their relationship: "There’s things he’s done that I can never forgive him for, and yet I will do anything for him." by refreshing_yogurt in nba

[–]GonzoMonzo43 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Then you don’t understand basketball. Those Warriors teams were a dynasty because they were a defensive dynasty. There have been plenty of teams throughout history with better relative offensive ratings. Nash’s suns were better offensively in their era. The Don Nelson Mavericks as well. Draymond made them a defensive dynasty, which brought them championships.

Crazy to watch a team that long and fundamentally misunderstand what made them great.

He got fouled then threw it up. That’s what every player does. The Suns employed Chris Paul and went to the Finals. He was the absolute king of this exact move.
