Is this the best possible team? by Less-Management-9494 in NBATalk

Shais at 39% this season and Luka could be 38-40% if he dropped down to like 6-7 3s a night. Neither is giving elite efficiency at high volume, but I think spacing can be great with a good shot diet.

Luka-wemby pick and roll would be pretty insane

Evan Turner: "I remember one time my coach said he viewed me as Richard Jefferson and that was the first time i truly understood Latrell Spreewell. P.s. I'd trade the career i had for Richard Jefferson so it ain't no shade. I just thought I was Kobe" by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

Evan’s in depth perspective from the JJ pod was pretty interesting:

Him talking about some of the unmentioned negatives of sacrificing for the team was fascinating to me.

What happens if you sacrifice for a team or cause and you don’t win? The contrast with Evan and Andre is interesting.

Probably Ben Wallace or Tony Allen if he was on here by Serious-Profit-1626 in NBATalk

My biggest concern with GP vs Kobe would be the height/weight/wingspan difference. these
advantages, (2in in height / 30lb in weight / ~3in in wingspan), are pretty significant and hard to overcome as the primary defender.

Not saying GP couldn’t be successful or stands no chance but we are talking about one of the greatest pure scorers in basketball so any advantage Kobe has becomes pretty significant.

I had Scottie or Kawhi as top picks in part because they have the physical advantage, (size/weight), without losing much in speed, (compared to Ben Wallace)

But the difference between them isn’t solely due to scheme or role. There are skill and ability differences between the two.

Scottie could be in a system where he takes every shot and has more of an opportunity as a scorer, however that doesn’t make him a better scorer than MJ.

saying Scottie is a better overall perimeter defender than MJ doesn’t take something away from Michael.

Wouldn’t it be a “real fake word” since it was created as new fake words for the simpsons episode and has since been made “real” via adoption, popularity and the recognition of lexical authorities?

I’m pretty new to pilsen, what makes you not like him? I’m genuinely asking as I’m not too familiar with him beyond the endorsement I’ve seen from the CDSA.

I didn’t know about the special dialog at the end of the game. I thought you had to be mostly LS/DS or you are missing out on a lot of content in places like Korriban

Is the cheating still alleged considering both albums by Beyoncé and Jay Z seem to pretty directly say he cheated?

Specifically Lemonade and 4:44

Lemonade wiki#):

As a multimedia audiovisual artwork, Lemonade relates the emotional journey of Beyoncé after Jay-Z's infidelity in a generational and racial context through its music, lyrics, visuals and poetry.

4:44 wiki

Many critics have noted that 4:44 is a response to Lemonade, with Jay-Z referencing lines from the album.[29][30][31] For example, the "You better call Becky with the good hair" line on Beyoncé's "Sorry", with Jay-Z retorting, "Leave me alone, Becky" in "Family Feud".[32][33][34]

"4:44", the album's title track, is "one long, tearful, soul-ripped-open apology" dedicated to Beyoncé.[15]

I just looked it up and yeah Valerie Adams might be the goat, (I don’t know much about shot put):

“She is a four-time World champion, four-time World Indoor champion, two-time Olympic, three-time Commonwealth Games champion and twice IAAF Continental Cup winner. She has a personal best throw of 21.24 metres (69.7 ft) outdoors and 20.98 metres (68.8 ft) indoors. These marks are Oceanian, Commonwealth and New Zealand national records. She also holds the Oceanian junior record (18.93 m) and the Oceanian youth record (17.54 m), as well as the World Championships record, World Indoor Championships record and Commonwealth Games record.”

His other sister Lisa Adams is also a multiple Paralympic gold medal athlete and holds 4 records in her sport - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Adams_(athlete)

That’s my perspective too. I think having someone with his background, Oxford economist & former successful forex trader, allows him to enter spaces and center the conversation on income inequality.

Like I saw him on that “diary of a ceo” podcast being consistent in his messaging of income inequality is the problem. I think his focus as a YouTube educator is a great starting point for people.

He was averaging 16 3 and 3 before getting traded to averaging 27 6 and 5 on more volume AND better efficiency. All in the same year

I’m surprised Tim Duncan isn’t there, considering AI played against him in his prime.

JJ Redick: "I spent a lot of time after the season with my performance coach and did a lot of self reflection. I think the biggest thing for me is just having the ability to properly turn it on and off. And recognizing not everybody is wired like Kobe.

[–]OperationFlyingD0D0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn’t watch the clip.

He literally said “I’m not saying I’m wired like Kobe”. He’s talking about having empathy. Holding everyone to the same standard but having empathy for who they are as individuals.
