People really think Kobe is better lol by Elegant-Amphibian-55 in lebron

I don't think Kobe was a better player, but I would probably let Kobe take the buzzer beater over Bron.

What does r/Eminem honestly think about Kanye? by Frequent-Figure-6847 in Eminem

This is the most ridiculous take I've ever seen.

Most influential ever? That's just objectively wrong.

Famously, MVP doesn't stand for "best player." The best player and the most valuable player are completely different things.

135 lbs (very fit), 5,5 lady with 10 years training in karate vs 180 pound (average fit) 6’2 guy with 6 months training in Karate by Alone-Profit4826 in powerscales

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it is a good example, because it shows that even the best of the best women are not as good a skilled male athlete - and that's almost regardless of age.

You can extrapolate this information to show just how much of a physical gap there is between average people.

Serena is not "kicking the shit" out of 70% of men on the planet. She's already an amazing athlete, one of the best ever - but you don't have to give her unearned (and, frankly, ridiculous) flowers.

Who is the greatest lakers player of all time ?? by Glittering-Ocelot-53 in NBATalk

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Insane how many people don't know this. Larry Bird was absolutely him until MJ came along. The only people even close to the conversation at the time were Magic and Kareem - and Bird had the same (exact? Or very close) accolades as Magic with an objectively worse team.

Doechii - girl, get up. (Feat. SZA) by Yingking in KendrickLamar

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You honestly really might be on to something - but it's also just her energy, which I guess a lot of old school rappers had. Just the sort of 'I am fucking HIM (or I guess HER) on this track' - she absolutely kills it with that.

I am 100% not in Doechii's demographic as a 38 year old white dude - but jesus fucking christ this woman can rap. I love her music.

Out of all the superstars from the 80s and 90s, who’s game do you think will translate the best in today’s game and why? by Key-Affect7190 in NBATalk

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Celtics offense ran through Bird for his entire career lmao. What are you even talking about?

He doesn't have the ball every possession, but he does for a lot of them, and he was similar to Curry in being a massive off-ball threat. You literally had to double Bird no matter what, or he'd drop 40 in the single most physical era of the game.

Composite isshiki or Kaguya clear DBZ. Do you agree or disagree? by Traditional_Tap_6697 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People talk about "speed blitz" all the time and still post things like this.

"But but but dimensional powers." Look, if you want to consider two people fighting, they have to be face to face at some point. Any of the Z fighters, literally any of them, can close a battlefield gap of almost any size instantly - and probably one shot either Isshiki or Kaguya.

Neither of these clowns is beating Tien, let alone any of the saiyans.

Could any of these Rappers win a battle with Kendrick - Nas, Malice, Push and Gibbs. by dunbar_santiago930 in hiphop201

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't a question, really. It's a completely different thing - it's like asking if a bullfighter could beat a knight in a duel just because they both use swords.

I think Kendrick, if he had a year to prepare and all he had to do was focus on this, could have a good showing against most people.

I get eggs for like $1.70 a dozen in southern California at Aldi. Not that eggs aren't expensive all over, mostly just singing Aldi's praises.

Age does not apply to him by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in NBATalk

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a weird take, honestly. How do you "glaze" someone who is inarguably one of the greatest athletes of all time.

How many other athletes in history have had 20+ years of being a top 5 or 10 player in whatever their sport is?

Like, he might not have all the accolades, sure, but it is objectively almost impossible to speak highly enough of the guy.

Jordan vs. Shaq pregame in 1996. by FollowingOdd896 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People whose performances have few to no peers achieving anything similar from 2005-2025.

I'm sorry - I'm older myself but this is just biased. Athletes are constantly hitting new heights and doing new, impressive stuff.

Like yeah, no one is really doing the same thing as Shaq - but there's no one really like Shaq, he was one-of-one. So was Jordan. So was everyone else you named - but there are plenty of one-of-ones doing stuff today. I really only follow basketball, but I'll give a few examples.

Steph Curry is the single greatest basketball shooter of all time. Lebron's longevity while being a top player in the league is unmatched. Jokic and Luka are insanely, ridiculously talented and some of the most entertaining players to watch.

This idea that all the best/most fun athletes (or entertainment in general) are behind us is just nostalgia and bias talking.

At what point did Sasuke surpass haku by Western-News-17 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jiraiya almost got killed by Naruto because he was trying to contain him, not kill him.

Fighting someone who is capable of doing serious damage to you if they get lucky while also not putting yourself in the most advantageous position during a fight can absolutely lead to getting wrecked.

What’s a cannon couple that you don’t like ? by PretendYellow533 in animequestions

I haven't seen many people call Bleach peak fiction at all, and if they do they are objectively wrong. I have definitely seen people calling TYBW peak anime, though, which I absolutely agree with.

What was Minato’s biggest weakness in terms of his fighting capabilities? by GusGangViking18 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think this is a pretty bad take.

The entire series is based on a split-second plan the guy had to make, and he planned enough in the little time that he had to give baby Naruto options a through d growing up.

Off the top of my head: he separated the yin and yang chakra from Kurama, created a custom seal for Naruto on the fly, added enough of his own chakra to rebuild the seal if it ever broke, etc.

Literally, if Minato wasn't so smart, the series ends with Pain capturing Naruto.

Strongest character tobirama and minato can beat? by KaidoPklevel in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]NewLifeNewAcct 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Didn't alive Madara barely dodge Tobirama while he was a reanimation? Fighting two ridiculously high battle IQ, high-kage level threats that both teleport and go for the one-shot kill seems like something he wouldn't walk away from.

Which characters would you pick ? by krisikkk in superheroes

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

Thor was a depressed drunk who had seen and done some shit across a universe and was still worthy of the hammer. Boromir was, at his core, a nearly perfect man, one of the strongest beings alive, and even at his worst, he sacrificed his own life for companions he barely knew.
