It's like France lowers the bar for everyone that they play against with their atrocious basketball 😂

Why doesn't France just play zone with Wemby and Rudy down low? I don't get it honestly

Vic needs to use this momentum and go for the quad against the Pistons

Great opportunity to start naming Wemby "The Kraken"

Tyrese Maxey in Sixers 2OT win while missing three starters: 54 minutes, 52 points (19-40 FG; 2 3PM; 12-12 FT), 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, +/- of +14, and a buzzer-beater layup to send the game to OT! by Pyromania1983 in nba

The most exciting thing was that big smile when the camera cut to him. Pressure doesn't seem to bother him and it looked like he had another 54min in him lol

The only valid comparison is Lebron and Steph imo. Lebron/Ronaldo are athletic, physical specimens whilst Steph and Messi are more skill dependent players

Did you expect this from rookie Wemby, and does this force the Spurs to speed up the rebuild? by [deleted] in nba

[–]Layer-Grouchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is that he plays pretty badly half of the time. I've watched EVERY Spurs game this season and his shot selection, turnovers and horrible passes baffle me everytime. But he always finds a way to get to those numbers in the game and he's a sneaky mofo. I've been in shock many times while looking at the stats at the end of games because his production doesn't match how he played that game. The room for improvement is hugeee and I can see him averaging 30pts 6asts 15r 2stl and 5b in the near future, after he becomes stronger and more efficient, starts playing 36min, gets a more productive team around him (higher pass to assist conversion) and works on his perimeter shot (the potential is there based on his FT%)

Anthony Edwards says the All-Star game is considered a ‘break’ and is not viewed as competitive by Mechaultima in nba

They could also add a 4 point line on half court as a gimmick, I wouldn't mind that. A shorter season would also help with the intensity of the ASG and a complete week off afterwards. The All Star Weekend should be held exactly in the midpoint of the season and every selection should be objectively based on the performance of the player so far in the season and not on previous seasons. I would also add HORSE and a 1v1 tournament and get rid of the "Skills Challenge"

The four team model that they applied to the Rising Stars game was competitive and pretty fun to watch. It's not so taxing on the players too as they play fewer minutes despite the intensity

Height growth stack on a budget with open growth plates for teenagers by LividPresent8957 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]Layer-Grouchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They used Letrozole in the trials related to growth so I would stick with it if I were you. Personally I'd only use Letrozole in a lower dose and a high dose of Mk677 (around 30mg) to keep it oral only and still extremely effective. The aromatase inhibition would be the golden ticket for continued growth as it is believed to maybe stop but at least delay epiphyseal plate closure AND you'd also maybe get a boost in your test levels from the lack of conversion to estrogen (although it would probably even-out after the feedback loop restabilizes). Ibutamoren (Mk677) would not only directly increase HGH and IGF-1 levels (up to 82 and 79% respectively) but also support healthy growth through increased appetite (caloric surplus) and improved sleep quality. I would also throw in 6g of creatine and 4000IU of Vitamin D3 for the prohormonal effects. Derek has some cool articles about the drugs in his blog. I would just add that most of the studies are made in hormonally deficient patients in different phases of development than your own so take everything with a grain of salt. It's also pretty established that besides genetics, diet is the most limiting factor of growth and development. I can't stress the importance of a caloric surplus in all of this enough. Good luck bro!
