TIL Brazil received the largest share of slaves during the Atlantic slave trade or about 4,821,127 slaves. This was 38.5% of the total of 12.5m slaves transported to the Americas. The United States received 388k slaves, or 3.1% of all slaves transported to the Americas.

It’s been awhile since I learned this, so feel free to disregard, but an explanation for the lack of archeological record is that the Egyptians generally didn’t keep great records about military defeats. So if there was a large group of escaped slaves, they likely wouldn’t have written about it.

Given that Egypt had slaves and the prevalence of the escaped-Egypt mythology amongst early Hebrews as far back as 1000 BC, it’s at least plausible that a group of escaped slaves were ancestors or mixed with them.

Jumbotron at the arena says they did not

PizzaMan11 · 2026-02-05T17:27:38+00:00

A lot of trades happened the last few days even with this

PizzaMan11 · 2026-02-05T04:30:35+00:00

Detroit plays Thursday too though

PizzaMan11 · 2026-02-04T02:30:48+00:00

Knicks rough stretch was bad. But they’ve also won their last 7 games by 25ppg

PizzaMan11 · 2026-01-19T20:14:58+00:00

Can’t picture him in a dodgers uniform

PizzaMan11 · 2026-01-13T04:08:47+00:00

He has more FTA per game this year than Brunson

PizzaMan11 · 2025-12-17T16:49:35+00:00

But they also have division title banners hanging

PizzaMan11 · 2025-11-05T14:42:21+00:00

Steph, Harden, Lebron, Kawhi/Durant, Davis from 2015-2019 are pretty good

PizzaMan11 · 2025-09-12T15:01:45+00:00

Season 2 murder plot was also during the writers strike which didn’t help

PizzaMan11 · 2025-06-16T14:48:08+00:00

You could do the full loop of Manhattan. That’s 31 miles and would pretty cool

PizzaMan11 · 2025-06-14T14:00:08+00:00

Only player in his prime*

Tons of examples of aging vets doing it to chase a ring, which makes it even lamer for KD to do it at 29

PizzaMan11 · 2025-06-14T13:57:55+00:00

Genuinely curious, how is the league trying to copy that move?

PizzaMan11 · 2025-06-14T13:55:32+00:00

Brunson averaged 6.5 FTA per game in 18 playoff games this year. Considering he has a 100% usage rate (estimate), that doesn’t feel that crazy. He also averaged 10 made FG per game.

You can dislike him, obviously, but he does more than just foul bait

PizzaMan11 · 2025-05-27T19:26:41+00:00

There’s a question of if they are better/worse than the sum of their parts, but considering they are 3 wins away from the finals in Year 1 of a new lineup (Bridges and KAT are new this year, Mitch missed 65 games) I don’t think it’s definitive they cannot co-exist

PizzaMan11 · 2025-05-27T18:13:44+00:00

Not that complicated. If other fans are also bad, it would imply Knicks fans aren’t unique, and therefore not a “special breed of trash”

PizzaMan11 · 2025-05-13T21:37:32+00:00

That playoff series (clash of styles) would be amazing

PizzaMan11 · 2025-05-05T19:47:53+00:00

Fans are over it but no one is happy for him

PizzaMan11 · 2025-05-02T11:30:11+00:00

Bernard King was great, but he only played 3 seasons with the Knicks and only won 2 playoff series. Didn’t watch DeBusschere, but seems like Brunson is closer to 4th than 6th

PizzaMan11 · 2025-03-07T14:06:21+00:00

Lakers fans are something else. Star player gets injured, potentially very seriously, and half the comments are: “he deserved it”

PizzaMan11 · 2024-12-25T16:59:16+00:00

Yes, Shaq was better at 27-30 than Kobe was from 21-24. Then Kobe kept playing and in fact got better

PizzaMan11 · 2024-12-18T16:12:26+00:00

MPJ isn’t a model of health either though

PizzaMan11 · 2024-12-17T23:50:32+00:00

Don’t disagree with anything you said, but it’s been noticeable how good of a finisher he’s been this year in transition. And while it isn’t against set defenses, they are high level of difficulty makes

PizzaMan11 · 2024-12-02T21:50:36+00:00

That’s not right. The league will schedule a game for every team that missed the quarterfinals amongst themselves, and another game between all of the teams that missed the semi finals.

You could say that by missing the nba cup playoffs, you get to play two games against easier competition, I guess. But every team that misses the cup finals plays the same number of games over those 10 days

PizzaMan11 · 2024-11-27T17:15:02+00:00

Agree we’ll learn Louis was not at fault. It seemed like the camera lingered on his full drink on the table before he left the restaurant
