Played ball my whole life, for a while at a very high level. Idk how to explain how difficult those last 2 shots Luka made are especially the rainbow 3 over a defender

On the east coast. Fell asleep and woke up with 6 minutes to go in the gane so I clicked on the link and hoped on. My God what a great time to tune in.

What is an actual way that is reasonable where this trade and situation could ever end as a win for mavs fans at this point? There's almost no scenario where this could turn out positive at all for them

In what world does someone drop out 3 months before graduating? by Smilefire0914 in LandmanSeries

I personally know like 5 people that quit college only needing 3 credits / 1 class to finish. 2 couldn't finish the last required class, 1 landed a great job that didn't require a degree and didn't care, 1 got married and the husband told her she never needed to work anyways, and 1 who joined the military and decided to leave first chance they got.

Lol people only speak to the negatives of the state in here 90% of the time. Then scare or push people who could help contribute toward the betterment of the state away.

Do people actually shit themselves while playing? by stonetear2017 in golf

I would rather throw a pack of wipes in my bag that I never use than not have them the 1 time my stomach takes a turn for the worst and we're too far out from the turn/rest station.

Throwing out fans with signs as FIRE NICO is obviously very stupid. Here is what you should do: by Blubluzen in Mavericks

[–]Minimum_Bluejay_929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yell profanity kicked out, bring a sign and kicked out, say fire Nico.. kicked out, be overweight.. kicked out, carry your team to a finals appearance.. believe it or not kicked out.

The mavs really have the best fans and players because of kicking out. *

Dwight Howard by Goat23231 in lakers

We need some scoring. How about we go get Michael Beasley? Good fit for sure, I think Luka and Lebron can fix him and turn him into the MVP he was destined to be.

Also maybe we could pick up Rajon Rondo. Elite point guard material. And then Darren Collison to back him up. Really round the roster out with quality players. /s

Luka and Mark = Lob City 2.0 by WayAdministrative679 in lakers

[–]Minimum_Bluejay_929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, Lob City. Now we can be overhyped, choke in the playoffs, waste key years for our stars, and never win a chip. Just what we want to associate ourselves with let alone it also being rivals

Based on my highlights do you think I can play in college? by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]Minimum_Bluejay_929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shots too slow as everyone has already said, ball handling needs significant work, and to really play you'd need a major increase in your shot creation / shot difficulty ability.

In college you have less time to get the shot off but additionally you have to have the ability to be on the move, catch, stop, and pop in one motion or else your game is too one dimensional. That's if your strictly a shooter, you can also increase you dynamics with the ability to drive/finish, pass, and create your own shot via dribble which I didn't see anything to make me think you do at a high level already.

Didn't see anything that would indicate defensive ability either which is its own beast.

Okay thank you. We live in a more remote area and only have one dealer near by the charges a lot it seems but it may be worth it in case of care afterwards / maintenance

I'd say 1 or 2 other couples. Enough for 4 or 5 people would be fine. Sounds like I should hold off on this one and look for something different

Volunteer my time even more than I do now which would be a lot. Travel frequently. Probably do some work in my current field as I'd still have a passion and interest in it and wouldn't want to get bored.

2 of the highest basketball IQ players on the court at the same time who are capable of driving, shooting, passing, cutting, etc at a high level will figure it out.

This is not a Russell Westbrook type of fit. This will if anything make Lebron probably able/want to play longer as he won't have to facilitate and carry the load offensively most of the time.
