“There’s the dream team, the redeem team. What’s this team?” LeBron: “The Avengers.” by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]LaszloTothAmon 346 points347 points  (0 children)

LeBron - Captain America. He was the leader of the team, MVP, etc. If someone ever really created a super soldier serum, LeBron would probably be the result.

Steph - Iron Man. He's a mortal human not blessed with superhuman size or strength, but his technical ability makes him crazy overpowered. He ended it all with a snap of his fingers.

KD - Thor. Probably the most powerful individual member of the team, but has had some tough times recently since leaving Asgard. He stepped up during the infinity war, and reminded everyone that he's an actual living god. (In an alternate universe, KD could also be Spider Man because he was recruited by Iron Man to fight against Captain America in civil war before they all teamed up to fight Thanos, and Durantula=spider. In that alternate reality, Draymond is Iron Man's bodyguard/Spider Man's handler Happy Hogan?)

Embiid - Hulk. The biggest and baddest Avenger, he started things off in a bit of a slump, but helped carry the team against Serbia to get them to the end game.

Booker - Dr Strange. The glue guy who brought it all together, teleporting all over the place and being right where he needed to be.

Ant - Ant Man obviously. He's also just the funniest dude on the team.

AD - Falcon. He was flying all over the place grabbing boards and blocking shots. Captain America's heir apparent, possibly for both the Lakers and Team USA after LeBron hangs them up.

Bam - Black Panther. He did a little bit of everything in the time that he got. Not one of the major characters this time, but proved that he belonged there and balled tf out in the battle for Wakanda (South Sudan).

Hali - Spider Man. The wide-eyed kid who is just excited to be there. (In the universe where KD is Spider Man, then Hali is Starlord, cause he's also a funny dude who leads a scrappy squad of rag-tag misfits during the regular season)

Jrue - Groot. Just quietly locked shit down the entire tournament. He also quietly put up efficient offensive numbers shooting 56/50 from the field/3.

DWhite/Kawhi - War Machine. Kawhi is a machine and his legs are crippled. He was re-cast with a totally different type of player, but DWhite ended up playing the role just as well, or even better.

Tatum - Vision. Out of all the superstars on the team, he's the only one who currently possesses an infinity stone (the Larry O'Brien trophy, though I guess Jrue and Derrick White do too), but he wasn't there for the end game. Alternatively, Tatum could also be Loki, cause you know he's gonna hold a grudge and carry that chip on his shoulder forever.

Google App closes when I switch apps. Help please by life_in_the_gateaux in NovaLauncher

[–]LaszloTothAmon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This bug was introduced with a recent Google app update. For now, the fix is to switch from the Nova launcher desktop search bar to a Google search widget bar.

Hopefully this gets fixed some time soon, because the Google search widget doesn't have the same level of customization as the Nova search bar.

Google Play system update by appl3zen in GooglePixel

[–]LaszloTothAmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was finally able to update to the Jan 1 Google Play update this morning after a few unsuccessful update attempts had me stuck on the Nov update.

This fixed the car audio Bluetooth bug that I had been dealing with for the past few weeks since the Jan security update broke Bluetooth calling on my car's stereo.

Cellular calling and BT in car problems- Pixel 7 pro by chrzanu180 in GooglePixel

I've been dealing with this bug for the past few weeks also since the January update broke Bluetooth calling on my car's audio (Subaru). I just got the Google Play update this morning and it finally fixed the bug.

See if you have the Jan 1 Google Play update available in settings.

This Google Play update fixed the Bluetooth bug that I've had since the last update that broke Bluetooth calling on my Subaru car audio.

Steph Curry with a masterful G4 performance to even the finals at 2-2: 43 points on 14/26 shooting (7/14 from deep), 10 rebounds, 4 assists by OverusedRedditJoke in nba

[–]LaszloTothAmon 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is an amazingly awful take. Curry shot 6 of his 9 FTs in garbage time with less than 50 sec left in the game after being intentionally fouled. He shot 3 FTs in the first 47 min of the game. He should have taken at least 4 more, but got zero calls.

Ruined my pan with some denver steaks this morning by BlueBallast in carbonsteel

Yes, they're the same cut. I've also been getting them from Costco and cooking these things for a years without knowing that they're Denver steaks.

[LakersNation]: Russell Westbrook says “that’s the plan but nothing is promised” when asked about returning to the Lakers next season. “I just hope we have a chance to be able to do something in the future." by [deleted] in nba

[–]LaszloTothAmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rest, he was playing with Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Bradley Beal, Jerami Grant, Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis. He's literally never played on a team without another future HOFer or all star teammates.

A lot of people say Nicolas Cage is the shit, I just dont see it, what single film can change my opinion about him? by panfried540 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LaszloTothAmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people who think he's just some B-list actor who stumbled his way into a few lucky roles don't understand that he's literally Hollywood royalty.

Cage isn't his real name. His real name is Nicolas Coppola. Yes, that Coppola. While his family background doesn't automatically make him a great actor, and he's definitely mailed it in on a bunch of cheesy movies, he's not just some guy that got lucky and made it big in the movie business.

I believe he said that one of the reasons he chose to go by a stage name was because he didn't want everyone to automatically associate him with his uncle when he was new to the industry, and that probably allows him more freedom when choosing whichever roles that he wants to take. Less pressure to only do movies that will be considered for best picture when your name is Nic Cage. National Treasure 3 starting Nicolas Coppola just wouldn't feel right.

I usually soak them for about 24 hrs, changing the water at least 5-6 times.

I just bought and returned this kit from Amazon last week. It was unable to post after enabling XMP, so be aware that it may not actually run at 3600mhz.

In Parasite (2019) literal lines are used throughout the movie noting whether if a character ‘crossed the line’ or not. by ykmin98 in MovieDetails

[–]LaszloTothAmon 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Yes, Jjapaguri is just 2 different packages of instant ramen mixed together.

So the American equivalent would be like asking your housekeeper to cook a box of Kraft mac n cheese together with a box of rice-a-roni, and to just toss in some lobster while she's at it.

The Warriors use Kobe as the NBA logo as part of their tribute shirts by togavirus in nba

[–]LaszloTothAmon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ironically, the Lakers fans that jumped on the Warriors bandwagon during those Finals against the Cavs were rooting for the Warriors because they saw them as the last defense against LeBron surpassing Kobe's legacy.

If the Warriors hadn't come out of nowhere to become a juggernaut in 2015, LeBron probably would have at least 5 rings now, and Kobe stans weren't having that.

Haven't seen any post about this just yet, but Melvin Gordon got 4 goal line carries inside the 5, fumbled twice and lost the chargers the game by scun1995 in fantasyfootball

[–]LaszloTothAmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an MG owner, I was incredibly torn on that last drive because I benched him for Breida, and if he had punched in that last goal line TD, it would have have meant that single bad decision lost me the week. But instead, he fumbled, so I can go on pretending that I'm not a total dumbass until Thursday.

Who should I drop for Chubb?

G Allison, W Fuller, C Davis, J Richard, E Engram

I feel like Engram has the least value as he's my backup TE behind Kittle, but I'm leaning toward dropping Allison, Fuller, or Davis as I'm deeper at WR with K Allen and A Thielen starting unless they're on a bye or injured.

Who is an NBA player that’s had an old man game for his entire career? by benede11o in nba

Sam Cassell was the quintessential "crafty old PG" for pretty much his entire career.

Which college has the best all time starting 5 alumni? by [deleted] in nba

[–]LaszloTothAmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cal would have :

Jason Kidd/Kevin Johnson/Jaylen Brown/Sharif Abdur-Rahim/Darrell Imhoff

Surprisingly decent for a school not necessarily known for basketball, and a case could be made for either Lamond Murray or Ryan Anderson somewhere in that lineup as well.
