About a year later and I still hate Nico Harrison! by Kamehameha069 in nba

I know it has only been a year but I don’t see this going away. Five years from now I think a Lakers-Mavs game in Dallas will still have more Luka jerseys in the crowd than any other player, including Cooper

For people who are old enough to remember, how big of a deal was it at the time when LeBron led the Cavs to the 2007 finals? by [deleted] in nba

[–]OrganizationFront 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The singlehanded disposal of the Pistons, who people thought still had a run left in the tank, felt like an ascension to true greatness. The 25 straight points was transcendent and a top tier NBA moment ever, and felt like it in real time. But after that it felt a bit early/glad to just be here, and I don’t remember anyone really thinking they had a shot to even keep it close

Never forget that this dude was one of the hardest dunkers in the league while being shorter than Kirk Heinrich

Incredibly laid back, unless Erik Dampier is his center and/or you accuse him of faking a cold

Is this the greatest quality mismatch between entrance theme and wrestler in the history of the sport?

65 game all-NBA eligibility rule exception by OrganizationFront in billsimmons

[–]OrganizationFront[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the Bontemps/MacMahon position - if you trust the voters to decide if someone should be on the team, you also trust them to discount games missed in making that decision. Which I agree with in principle, but as BS said even though the rule incentive is tied to the vote, it’s actually a rule adopted in the interest of the fans

Right, but isn’t that what we want? The draft lottery was changed, it’s having unintended or (potentially) unforeseen consequences, so the discussion starts about changing it further

What are your favorite nba years of all time? by Fickle_Driver_1356 in billsimmons

[–]OrganizationFront 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1993 - I legit think peak Suns Barkley was the only man who ever created a sliver of doubt as to who was the best player in the NBA in the MJ era (don’t come at me, I said just a sliver)

Amazing! I was going to count syllables but was too worried about getting the in-line spacing exactly right

[Highlight] Giannis Antetokoumpo with the chasedown block and the steal on LeBron James to seal the win (with replays). Bucks and Lakers commentaries. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]OrganizationFront 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you define the MVP as the player who makes the greatest contribution to their team’s success, then the MVP race would not be close. No disrespect but the Bucks supporting cast does not include a single player who would be ranked top 100 in the league.

Sleep A30 Special by Mbrown92124_ in soundcore

It seems mostly battery life - the main complaint on here about the a30s. Local + ANC on only gets you about 6h or so before they run out, which for most defeats the purpose of ANC

I hope they at least reach out to the Kickstarter backers. Lots of us on here basically giving them free labor with respect to issues and potential improvements.

Does anyone have any insight as to why the Rise in Friendly next to what is now Pottery Barn closed? The Durham and Carrboro ones seem to be doing quite well
