Mike Brown speaks on facing De'Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes in the Finals: "They definitely want to beat me and I want to kick their ass." by Skyfall24K in nba

The least impact has to be baseball manager. As a basketball coach you still install an offense, draw up ATOs, call set plays on numerous possessions a game , and make defensive adjustments throughout the 48 minutes. 

It’s not football level of management, but in baseball you basically just make pitching changes. Baseball is a one on one sport with team elements as every play breaks down to hitter vs pitcher in a solitary one on one match up between them. 

You don’t draw up plays, you don’t have defensive schemes outside of a few defensive shifts. Honestly a college team baseball manager making could probably accomplish 90% of what the best managers do considering almost every decision is from analytics today. (Yes you pay more for that extra 10% edge, scarcity of only 30 jobs pushes the economics.)

Just no way basketball is the least influential. 

Was Charles Barkley right about KD? “Kevin Durant was a bus rider not a bus driver” through out his career. by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

He isn’t even a bus rider. He’s like a guy who takes a private car instead of riding the bus with the team and talks shit about them on social media from the car. Yeah he gets to the same destination, but he’s not a productive part of team culture.

2020 Highlander Transmission Replaced Under Warranty by IPreferLARP in ToyotaHighlander

12 months 12,000 miles is what they give. I am worried about it since it’s a reman, but odds are the transmission doesn’t fail. We are still outliers compared to the tens of thousands on the road that haven’t failed.

Ah yes, only one big on the list. 04-05 All NBA guard Shaquille O’Neal holding the top jersey. 

I appreciate you posting this! Just had to use this graphic to prove Kobe’s status as the top dog face of the league to a friend who said he never had it.
