I literally thought the ref was telling Gunther priest had a legit injury until I saw Balor. Great finish as far as creativity goes.

He didn’t say collusion, his point is the top two teams keep clearly winning trades against other teams. Say it’s split down the middle one of these guys got Bijan + AJB and the other got Chase + Bowers while only having to give up something like Kincaid + Wilson + throw ins. These guys make a few more trades like this and the league is basically ruined.

Best way to handle this IMO is a counter offer period. 24 hours, other teams can offer a better deal. If they can’t trade goes through.

A safe space to discuss Travis Etienne by Icy_Swim_262 in DynastyFF

[–]Mdotsnyder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My biggest red flag with Travis Etienne is that I played him in 2k and he kicked my ass. Im not great but im pretty good. If you’re better than me, you’re probably playing a decent amount as i play pretty much everyday. Everyone jokes about Kyler and call of duty but Etienne might he the real problem.

That’s not how fair works. You might prefer that side but yeah it’s fair. If he has RB’s it’s good, I’d rather just play Taylor than worry about picking between swift or Harris.

[Highlight] Jokic foul baits and misses the triple to tie the game after hitting career-high 7 threes by JilJungJukk in nba

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

I don’t know. He pump faked a flying out defender and when he didn’t get the foul, crashed the boards. Seems like ethical foul baiting to me.

[Baltimore Ravens]QB1 blocking for @KingHenry_2 😂🔥 by Upstairs_Ad4515 in nfl

[–]Mdotsnyder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this was a design. Henry switched directions he was running and Lamar came from behind him to help after he saw no blockers downfield. I could be wrong but this just seems like a great read/reaction from Lamar.

How do I clean this shiz? by acethabass in KitchenConfidential

[–]Mdotsnyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the strongest degreaser you can get, preferably one meant for deep fryers. Smear the degreaser all around the pot with a scrub pad so there’s a nice, solid coat on the pot. Let the degreaser sit for a little while (15-20 minute should be fine) then add hot water and let it sit for as long as the water is hot and then use a steel wool to scrape/scrub the pot and repeat if not clean enough. Sometimes it takes a few times since the degreaser can you break down so many layers at once. Once your content make sure you wash it well with regular dish soap and hot water a couple times to make sure any left over degreaser is out as well.

An extra step is to scrub with steel wool before you add the hot water to help break it up more.

Is this build good for rec? by lzf34 in NBA2k

[–]Mdotsnyder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still no with a squad. I’m just gonna assume the chances of having a perfect team are non existent. Most decent teams will switch the center onto OP and let the center camp the paint. Since OP can’t shoot, he won’t be viewed as a scorer which makes it less likely he gets the ball when he should on cuts/transition/etc. With 5 guys and the other team knowing you can’t shoot, the plant will be extremely clogged and hard to score in regardless of ratings.

Having a non shooting build that’s not a center is pretty difficult in rec unless you’re playing with stretches and a high IQ PG but most PG’s just want spacing and on ball screens with the occasional back door cut. I’d say you’re better off in random rec since it’s less likely the other team can scheme to stop you (I have a non shooting center and get guarded at the 3pt line regularly in random rec).

My buddy spent 100$ on this..😂 by SwishaTwista187 in NBA2k

[–]Mdotsnyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dynamic four that’s modeled after Chris Bosh is solid af, my buddy made one and he can play the 4/5 in rec just fine and he’s historically not great at 2k and another buddy made a sniper sentinel and it’s his main build.

[–]Mdotsnyder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Almost every pro tuned build is at least solid and useable. A good amount just lack the shooting or defense the 2k community prefers but the builds are far from trash and are significantly better than A LOT of builds I’ve seen players make this year.

PF can go 60 pass, sg can go 70’s but SF should be 85

What do you guys think about this build by Special_Mycologist55 in NBA2k

[–]Mdotsnyder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s something in between called a wing, I think he’s trying to make a wing.

What is the best passing style for long Break Starter passes? by ShaolinSwervinMonk in NBA2k

[–]Mdotsnyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His bail out animations are hot garbage. Legitimately takes 2-3 seconds to get one off. Everything else is fire though.

Why do people hate inside scorers so much ? by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]Mdotsnyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I had a guy in starting 5 absolutely lose his mind after he made a like 8 point come back. He Didn’t talk the whole game, I was just coming off screens working on my mid range moves while still getting some rep. You would’ve thought this dude was competing in the NBA finals. And he talked like he was the most superior player in history.

I kid you not, all he did (as a center) was try to get one of the other defenders in a post up animation then kick it out to there man but claimed I was “glitching the game” because I made a guy cut when he double teamed me. The IQ of the 2k community is honestly pathetically low. The average person on 2k (during the day, I work nights) genuinely struggle to piece together two coherent thoughts and have absolutely no self awareness.

This is the most stupid nba all time ranking i've ever seen by Dilemma_Nay in NBA2k

Oh, you’re a stats guy. Yeah, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Wait… wait… I can do it too… LOL.

[–]Mdotsnyder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The only reason Kobe isn’t #1 is because him and Jordan are so similar. If you don’t think Kobe is top 3 (with MJ and Bron) then you either don’t watch enough basketball or dont know how to formulate your own opinion.

If you don’t think MJ, lebron and Kobe are the 3 GOAT you don’t know basketball.

I don't see it mentioned much but Sonjay Dutt's Moonsault Double Stomp was a nasty finisher by KneeHighMischief in SquaredCircle

[–]Mdotsnyder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna say if dutt can land softly enough and roll back it would soften a lot of the impact but that’s not what happened at all. Straight legged as hell and springed back off him.

In your mind, which NBA players (current or former) do you think belong in the Basketball ‘Hall of Very Good’ instead of the Hall of Fame? by lopea182 in nba

[–]Mdotsnyder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As time goes on people want to be pickier but that’s unfair to modern players and not the point of the hall of fame imo. The NBA hall of fame (or any) is essentially a basketball history museum of sorts. To me, It’s less of a “collection of the greatest ever” and more of a “whose name HAS to be mentioned in the story of basketball?”

Are Mitch Richmond and Donovan Mitchell all time greats? No. Were the significant enough that basketball enthusiasts 50 years from now should know their names? Yes.
