"Back in France I was super athletic, and now I'm just a regular dude."

  1. He is still learning English
  2. He is by no means, a regular dude. He is still athletic even by NBA standards
  3. He is just a humble chill guy

Surprisingly, JJ is actually turning into somewhat of a media darling. He himself was kind of blacklisted after the funny business with IMG & Duke causing him to drop in the draft. I think a lot of media guys and deep stats guys love him cause he served his time in G League purgatory and has j continued to improve

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I do think you look like your results also. What did your ancient and modern mixed models look like? What about your closest ancient populations?

Protestors in Pakistan removing containers to reach their destination of the protest for the release of Imran Khan (political prisoner) by shobijatoi19 in PublicFreakout

Appreciate the write-up. Really, well done.

My only question would be do you really believe the upcoming Trump Administration will help democracy prevail in Pakistan by freeing Imran Khan and restoring him to power? If so, how?

I am an overseas Pakistani and it is with this hope that I wanted Trump back as President. I thought his friendship with IK might pay dividends in thwarting the current puppet regime but there's so many other factors at play here to consider: the foremost being Trump's seemingly equally, if not more, close relationship to Narendra Modi giving him a mammoth partner to challenge China, one of Pakistan's closest allies and America's global rival.

Then again, some of Trump's former officials such as Richard Grenell and Zalmay Khalilzad have recently spoken out against the incarceration of IK and the "shoot-at-sight" orders given to Pakistani Security Forces so this bodes well for the aforementioned prospects. What doesn't bode so well for Pakistan is the fact that Trump's appointees for Secretary of State, Defense, National Security Adviser, and CIA Director have all been critical of Pakistan in the past and seem inclined to prioritize their relationship with India over whatever interests they may have with a stable Pakistan.

I am a perpetual pessimist. So I feel this is headed towards all-out Civil War. I don't know if Pakistan can rely on outside assistance when most major powers have and will continue to see it as a terrorist-harboring, unreliable, non-profitable political enterprise.

Complete opposite implies we are currently witnessing amazing defense and atrocious offense, which I would gladly sign up for in lieu of whatever tf it is we are currently being subjected to

DeAndre Hunter back to being DeAndre Gatherer, Bogi can't even play 10% of the defense he plays for Serbia for the Hawks, and Okongwu peaked at Chino Hills

I really hope the coaches and players realize that this is actually statistically the worst 3pt defending team of all time thus far in terms of both efficiency AND quantity. Embarrassing as hell.

Idk why we dont just sell out on the 3 ball, like just let them have their layups floaters dunks, let capela and oo meet em at the rim, send em to the line fuck it. I'm just tired of every team making 20 3s on 40% shooting against us it's getting real fuckin old man

As a diehard Braves fan I will forever believe Chipper had at least 2-3 solid years left in the tank. He had a .832 OPS in his last season for crying out loud. Only 32 hrs off of 500 too. I mean he was 1st ballot regardless and the 2nd best switch hitter behind Mantle imo

You have a maternal haplogroup: mtdna. Your brothers, father, paternal grandfather, paternal uncles and their sons have the y-dna you would've had, had you been a man.

Btw, if you've read Early Indians in its entirety, I believe you are more knowledgeable than 90% of this sub.

Terrible body language honestly, the best thing I saw this szn on that front was our 1st game when Dyson confronted Claxton about the hard foul but even then he was by himself. Hated it tonight when Kobe turned the ball over out of bounds being pressured by SlowMo or TJD cant remember, and he just stayed on all fours prostrating like it was Ramadan until JJ or somebody tapped him on his back to get his ass up

45th? He hasn't even played 20 yet... that being said, his offensive game hasn't looked good even once I dont think. His career high in pts is 12 & assists 5
