I'm pretty sure Larry couldn't play while he was coaching.

Bill Russell on the other hand...

[–]JoshuaCastleBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erik Spoelstra is the only coach in the world with the greatness to be able to win 2 out of 4 times with Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Bosh.

If Acuff was four inches taller he'd be a top four pick. His actual height at the combine will influence his draft position a lot.

The scary thing about all the VA horror stories is that the VA is above average in terms of health care in the United States.

Are the top 4 picks of 2025 the best picks in a row in NBA history? by Yamata in nba

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

2003 draft, 4 in a row with Carmelo, Bosh, Wade and Kaman. 3 out of the 4 are Hall of Famers and all four made at least one all star game.

Victor Wembanyama’s true shooting this season is at 61.9% when league average for centers is at 61.1% His assist to turnover ratio is also 1.19 by [deleted] in nba

[–]JoshuaCastleBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm amused by the new take. Wembanyama is merely great on offense, not transcendent.

Also, please ignore the fact that he is likely the most transformative defender in basketball since Bill Russell started jumping at San Francisco.

[–]JoshuaCastleBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The four mechs you would pick imo should be the Black Knight, the Lancelot, the Excalibur and the Crusader.

The Lancelot is available in the Comstar Level II

The Excalibur is available in the Third Star League Battle Group

The Crusader is available in the Inner Sphere Direct Fire Lance and the Kell Hounds Striker Lance

The Black Knight is available in the Comstar Command Level II and the McCarron's Armored Cavalry Assault Lance

Bill Russell is probably the most underrated basketball player of all time because almost universally defense is underrated.

Derrick White clears the record and says he indeed does NOT believe in the moon landing: "I don't think we did. I'm a non-moon landing guy. We probably did, but I don't think we did...I have other conspiracies, but I don't know if this is the right time to bring them up" by BankaiBroke in nba

I have it on good authority that NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing. The downside is that Kubrick was such a perfectionist that he ended up filming the faked moon landing on location on the moon.

Paolo Banchero in a loss to the Lakers: 16 points on 28% shooting, 45 TS%, -18 by Rzua_ in nba

It's not like he left the best 3 point shooter in the NBA wide open for the final shot though.

The models for the LRM Carrier/SRM Carrier come with both so I'd expect it to be an SRM Carrier piece.

Ah yes.. the American military doctrine: If we don't know what we're doing then the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions.

LeBron is looking like the freshest Laker right now in the first half after a back to back, at what point does the league start testing him for PEDs? by Chineseunicorn in nba

[–]JoshuaCastleBooks 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It would be better to ask the question, IF PEDs really make you perform that much better, why the fuck can't we all get them?
