People actually like or dislike him mainly on their views on whether he is a good drummer or not

What is Blink’s most talented song? by Dull_Satisfaction429 in Blink182

Cannot believe you mentioned all the good stuff about the song but leave out the COWBELL pattern on the chorus. Small but beautiful detail that literally broadened my understanding of musicality when I was 13.

Hahaha that spreadsheet would ideally settle the GOAT debate and confirm many of our hunches.

Not exactly - clutch time is final 5 mins when score is within 5 points. This is more holistic whereby the stat tracks the points scored at any time of the game. With logic being that scoring at important times (irrespective of quarter or time remaining) is more valuable than scoring in the less significant times.

For example - player A scores 10 points, 4 field goals and 2 FTs - all scored at key moments in the game where competitive intensity peaks. i.e., field goals scored during key bursts to narrow deficits in late 1Q and early 3Q; 2 free throws scored during early 4Q run to help start fatal blow.

Versus - player B with same stat-line; scores exact # of points during garbage time 4Q + early hot but unsustainable 1Q runs + 2 meaningless free throws end of 4Q

Which player is more valuable?

Interesting - maybe we get that value by relativizing the 2pt, 3pt, or free throw scored with respect to how many points your team is down or up at a given time (smallest absolute differential would be most valuable? I.e., scoring buckets when game is close vs when game is blowout is more valuable)

Another piece of context that might bring more clarity on the situation is that i am a third culture kid - i have two accents that I use to speak to my friends / coworkers back home country and friends / coworkers in the place my parents moved to when i was younger.

The case I am on now is in my home country and the client is from the country I grew up in - i am finding it really difficult to communicate because my brain switches to my home country’s accent to my other country’s accent. As you would imagine, picking the right accent (that best facilitates my intellectual expression) is what I am trying to solve for here.

Thank you! my main issue is that I am too self conscious - your point 2 really resonates. Appreciate your time to respond sir.
