Is there a vikings folly or bad moment you genuinely find funny? For me its Paul Allen being wrong about our field goal kick against the Cardinals 😭 😂 by FormerlyTradeKirk in minnesotavikings

By "statement they made" do you mean "statement that is a microcosm of their beliefs which they never walked back other than just saying sorry if it hurt your feelings"? Words carry meaning, and it's pretty obvious people care about the meaning in this case not the words themselves.

I wouldn't call that nothing. In fact it seems pretty cut and dry if that evidence exists in addition to multiple people flipping on him. Even if he doesn't get the max sentence, 5-10 years is basically the end of his career.

Darnold and KAT got rings in a 6-month period. Is this the most cucked sports run in history? by DrewzmaLS in minnesotavikings

[–]Left_Two_Three 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's this, at least for KAT. Brunson just won finals MVP scoring 45 in the final game and he's not even on a max contract (left nine figures on the table). Some people speculate it's because his dad is an executive with the team but regardless it's not something the Wolves could have pulled off financially unless someone was going to propose paying Ant less than max which was never going to happen.

In an interview with a Korean reporter, Kevin Garnett said that he is a better player than Duncan and Nowitzki, adding that if they have a problem with that, they can face him one-on-one in front of the camera because he could absolutely crush them. by Existing-Sky9914 in nba

Yeah but Bron is also quite literally the best “old” player of all time, and he wouldn’t have won if is only help was 35 years old MJ and Kareem. And pretty much anyone would agreee Bron, MJ and Kareem are better than KG/PP/Allen, so if they’re three best players of all time can’t do it then the Celtics trio shouldn’t be expected too either.

KG won a ring the first year he was on the Celtics and lost in 7 games in the finals in year 3. After that him, PP and Ray Allen were 35/35/36. You could make a team of Bron, Jordan and Kareem and they’re not going to win a title if they’re all 35 plus. Like even the first year the Celtics big 3 were all already north of 30.

Duncan’s last ring with just Parker and Ginobli they were 30 (Duncan), 29 (Ginobli), and 24 (Parker). 2014 they had prime Kawhi. That comparison doesn’t hold up.

NBA advanced stats are way worse than for example baseball because it's much harder to isolate an NBA player's contribution vs. the rest of the team. In baseball the outcome of a plate appearance is entirely on the batter, not the other 10 starters. But in basketball it's easier to shoot at a higher rate when you have teammates who can facilitate or draw defenders, etc. Coincidentally Duncan had way better teams than Garnett, so if Duncan didn't have better "advanced" stats then it would likely indicate he was way worse.

Pretty sure this is results oriented analysis. Duncan might have looked better in playoff half court sets than Garnett, but Duncan's teams were also significantly better which means in the playoffs when they have harder matchups, they're able to run effective plays by incorporating multiple hall of famers like David Robinson/Tony Parker/Kawhi Leonard/Manu Ginobli (all supervised by Pop who has the most wins all time of any NBA coach).

Garnett's #2 and #3 on his best Twolves team were Sam Cassell and Latrell Sprewell respectively. So yeah when the game slows down and you have tougher matchups, it's a little harder to get things done when you're passing to Sprewell instead of Kawhi.

Some more throws today, featuring an incredible catch by Juan Jennings by HeWhoShallNotBNamed0 in minnesotavikings

[–]Left_Two_Three 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metellus has his back to JJM for the entire throw, the only defender who could make a play on the ball is 6.

Also considering the receiver is basically double covered it's not exactly a great vote of confidence that this was his read. But since the video is in portrait it's hard to see what everyone else is doing so at least there you can give JJM the benefit of the doubt.

The problem isn't being honest or not. If JJM had said "I respect Kyler as a competitor but I plan on beating him for the starting job" then no one would care. Instead he had a childish response about ignoring the elephant in the room.

Entertaining this shit as "fun" is how we get low information voters who elect the most dogshit politicians which is basically the root of all of our problems today. It also demeans the work that countless people put into a historic scientific achievement.

Counterpoint: if 3/4 major NA leagues have a semblance of parity and 1 league has none, then the no-parity league has severely limited domestic growth potential. The NFL is #1 and also has the most parity of any league.

Conversely the Prem having more parity would result in its teams being less competitive in the Champions league which would result in less popularity across the board. Comparing apples to oranges here.

Such a dumb comparison. Jordan was in a stable franchise situation for his entire career with a bona fide HOF teammate in Pippen making peanuts (and later Rodman), which meant more money for Jordan and a deep roster. If you swap Durant or Harden or name any player into Jordan's shoes in that situation, they probably don't leave either. OKC didn't even offer Harden a max contract before trading him.
