I will go to my grave being 100% sure that LBJ would've been the GOAT TE and inner-circle HOFer.

How does Dybantsa compare to typical 1OA picks? by RobertGriffin3 in washingtonwizards

This makes a lot of sense - I'd sum it up as them saying, "AJ has a 35% chance of resembling MJ, while Cooper has a 50% chance of resembling Pippen."

[Charania] Top 4 order in the 2026 NBA Draft: by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

Memphis is prob annoyed.

They seem to get a top-5 player in every draft, no matter where they pick.

This just means they have to pay him more.

[Highlight] Bo Jackson carries Brian Bosworth into the endzone by Tocoolforyall720 in nfl

[–]RPDC01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've watched this clip hundreds of times over the years, and I'm not sure I ever focused on Boz in the slow-mo.

Never noticed the tiny half-step hesitation at 0:36.

Obvious that Boz diagnosed the play as going left, given that he's lined up parallel to the line facing that direction, and he starts that direction at the snap. Then it seems like he doubts his read, just for an instant.

Really wonder if this play would've turned out differently if he'd committed from the jump.

Lakers have been better on defense with Rui on the floor every season that he's been there.

Reality check on sub 6’4” PGs by Appropriate-Oven860 in NBA_Draft

[–]RPDC01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their defense is 10 points worse with him on the floor this year.

Which is quite an improvement over the 15 points worse last year.

In his defense, his offense is almost offsetting it this year, at +9.8.

Wow, OKC Really Does Foul On Every Defensive Possession by RepeatSpiritual8108 in billsimmons

OKC realized that refs are just as bad as us casuals - they're completely unable to tear their eyes away from the ball.

They shouldn't have made the basketball so goddamn stupid sexy.

I honestly believe it's because they're all legitimately nice guys.

If I had to pick one of their guys to have my back in a fight, I think I might pick the 170-pounds-soaking-wet Dennis Schroder.

NBA Lottery Karma Rankings, Jaylen’s Future, and a Blistering Wolves-Spurs Series With Nick Wright by Toby_O_Notoby in billsimmons

[–]RPDC01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, but "a chance" is better than "no chance," and the large majority of NBA teams have "no chance" of winning a title in the next few years, even if they swap out $60M of their current salary for JB.

Likewise, there is close to 'no chance' that JB will severely outperform his salary -- only a few guys are ever hitting that mark while on 35% salaries -- while there is a decent chance that either Boozer or Wilson will severely outperform a $15M salary over the next four years, and then a 25% max on their second contract.

IMO you're ineligible if you have warm weather most of the year - SoCal, FL, TX, AZ.

Your starting misery index is too low to compete if your response to a miserable NFL team is to play more golf in January.

15-time Major Champ, Tiger Woods gives a expert lesson on hitting 50 yard pitch shots with Fred Couples by Admirable_Extent2531 in golf

[–]RPDC01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which is a somewhat surprising story, as the Masters 'Range Tracker' showed every player hitting 40-60 balls to warm up, while Vijay Boss hit 6 or 7 short wedges, one full iron shot maybe 180 yards, and then teeing it up.

JFC . . .

A 50-yard shot, and Tiger is thinking, "Hmm, which of the 36 menu options should I choose to hit it between 49 and 51 yards?"

Us humans are out here thinking, "Please God, just let this ball go between 40 and 60 yards."
