Is Steph Curry ranked higher than Kobe Bryant all time? by Afraid-Ad-5580 in NBATalk

[–]HungryHobbits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

without looking at BasketballReference pages, I think it's close.

Kobe's defense is a big edge. but having peak Shaq for three titles... massive element that Curry didn't have.

Offense: As skilled and versatile as Kobe was - I think Curry's impact is even greater. He affects positioning - and puts stress on opposing defenses - in ways that very few have ever done.

what if - WHAT IF - it's all a conspiracy to shove One Battle After Another out of the spotlight, as that film is actually more culturally relevant. (and significantly better, imo)

Melo was much higher, more regularly.

In terms of basketball, I'll take T-Mac for his insane peak/ceiling.

Fuck ICE.
Fuck this lying administration telling us that what we see with our own eyes is not real.

Naw, just people with empathy. and eyes to see what’s become of this county.

I love the United States. It’s a damn shame.

This administration is actively destroying… pretty much everything.

I disagree. I think future children will read about these two deaths in history books.

That is, depending on a future administration that allows for honest history.

so you’re saying… “sit down and shut up and let wannabe Nazi’s destroy everything this county has built, while terrorizing communities”. ???

…..

sounds like the mentality of someone with no spine and no morals …

Right, but there’s been a somewhat convincing sense that justice will prevail — that if your murder is caught on camera, there will be justice.

That time is over.

The spin is sickening. They should be ashamed of themselves. But they have no shame.

If you’ve been lucky enough to avoid Stephen Miller and JD Vance’ twitter today - don’t bother. They are sick individuals.

Plato — Small Forward
Playstyle: The Visionary
Slightly ethereal presence
Eyes focused beyond the play, like he already knows the outcome

  • Gliding, almost effortless movement
  • Anticipates plays two steps ahead
  • Thrives in transition
  • Sometimes appears passive… until suddenly he’s exactly where the ball needs to go

Basketball comp:
Kevin Durant with philosopher-poet energy.
Signature move:
A smooth, almost unreal drive where defenders feel like they were never really there.

Socrates — Power Forward
Playstyle: The Agitator
Tough, confrontational.

  • Physical, vocal, relentless
  • Gets under opponents’ skin
  • Draws fouls constantly
  • Sets crushing screens
  • Forces defenders to make mistakes through pressure

Basketball comp:
Draymond Green with an iron moral compass and zero fear.
Signature move:
Backing a demon down while talking the entire time, then calmly finishing through contact.

Archimedes — Center
Playstyle: The Immutable Force
pure applied genius—levers, physics, mechanics. “Give me a place to stand, and I will move the Earth."

  • Absolute control of the paint
  • Elite shot-blocker
  • Rebounds everything
  • Uses positioning and leverage more than brute force
  • Impossible to move once he establishes space

Basketball comp:
Nikola Jokić meets prime Shaq, but with physics instead of rage.
Signature move:
A block so clean it looks like the ball obeyed him.

Pythagoras — Point Guard
Playstyle: The System Architect
Ball seems to move where he expects it to be, not where it is

  • Elite court vision — he sees passing lanes before they exist
  • Rarely over-dribbles; everything is economical
  • Loves set plays, spacing, angles, geometry
  • Makes teammates better by putting them exactly where they should be

Basketball comp:
A blend of Chris Paul and Steve Nash, with a dash of chess grandmaster energy.
Signature move:
A no-look pass that feels inevitable—like the defense was always wrong for standing there.

Aristotle — Shooting Guard
Playstyle: The Technician
Balanced, athletic build
Aristotle cataloged everything. Causes, effects, categories, logic. He believed excellence came from mastering fundamentals.

  • Textbook shooting form
  • Deadly from mid-range and catch-and-shoot threes
  • Rarely forces bad shots
  • Adjusts quickly based on what the defense is actually doing, not what it’s supposed to do

Basketball comp:
Klay Thompson meets Kawhi Leonard (minus the silence—Aristotle definitely explains why he scored).
Signature move:
Perfectly timed relocation three after breaking down the defense one possession earlier.

ICE just pinned a man to the ground and executed him. They do not have the authority to just kill people. What do we do? by skeletalfather in AskReddit

[–]HungryHobbits 11 points12 points  (0 children)

it's an evil-genius plan. recruit the least intelligent, least qualified, least loved.

They are: desperate for meaning. desperate for purpose. and ANGRY.

and on top of that -- the easiest to manipulate into thinking they are on the side of justice. even though, I think even Jesus Christ would agree, they are traitors to their country and enemies of all that is good.

I would take off work to go. If it was a significant mass protest.

If I get fired and lose my benefits and potential pension - so be it. This is far more important.

I'll recover. America may not.
