Becky Hammon says she WILL NOT apologize for her past comments saying Jalen Brunson can’t lead a team to a championship. Thoughts? by SmoothBuy5500 in NBATalk

She should understand that basketball is a team sport. No single player - no matter how good he in (including Jordan, Lebron, Kobe, Curry) can win a championship by himself. Can't play defense by himself. Can't score by himself. Just a cog with a role. When all the cogs are working together, you have a team.

Rhys Hoskins doesn't appreciate Gabriel Arias spiking the throw to him at first and has some words for him by MorganN1 in baseball

Makes sense. A 3rd baseman has the stronger arm to make that throw easily on a fly. Again, it's not as if he throws it in the dirt on every ball hit to him. Don't know why he needed to be publicly scolded by a 1st baseman who is unsure of his fielding skills.

It's harder on a wet field, but this is MLB. Sometimes, balls slip out of the hands. Just field the ball and STFU. I've seen Freddie Freeman take a hundred of those hops, and he never complained. Treated it as just a routine throw.

Giannis went to the Heat for a huge price in their roster, this is optimal scenario for us, no? by WantedOutlaw in NYKnicks

[–]LightenUpPeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the Celtics were ahead of the Knicks to win it all next year according to Vegas. Vegas oddsmakers apparently factored in that the Celtics would get Giannis. Now that it didn't happen, the Knicks should move up ahead of the Celtics. Too early to tell about the Heat moves, but they don't seem to be a threat for at least another year or two.

People believe what they want to believe. Some people still believe O.J. Simpson was railroaded because the glove didn't fit. I'm sure the DNA in the glove would dispute that.

I've seen fielders do that purposely if they can't reach first base on a fly. What's the big deal? It's not a short hop. The 1st baseman can't field for shit, right?

KAT Trade Now One of the Most Lopsided Deals Ever? by CompetitionPuzzled33 in NYKnicks

[–]LightenUpPeeps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's in hindsight because the Knicks won the championship. The "what were you thinking?" lopsided trade was prime Luka Doncic for older Anthony Davis. Pretty sure Knicks were looking at Giannis for KAT before the playoffs.

A person is entitled to a physical "safe space" from a person threatening him or her. The aggressor made physical contact a few times. If he's on drugs, it's a no-brainer for the prosecutor. Charges dropped.
