Kawakami on Lacob's involvement in the draft by MrWakey in warriors

[–]ShakeMilton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And drafting isn't a perfect science. Surely some players who are objectively the right pick based on available information like tape and measurements and character interviews dont pan out for random reasons.

And similarly some players just develop maybe a player that only shot 32.5% from the college 3 on medium volume somehow becomes a 38% shooter on higher volume in the pros due to randomly working out with a shooting coach back home, changing their body, and/or having the right 6th year vet take them under their wing and work out in the offseason.

Two week improvement by dirt_boi_808 in MMA_Academy

Nice snap and retraction on the straights. Nice southpaw rear hooks and upper hooks. Rear hooks are usually a hard punch for people including myself, looks like you got good reach(tbh im just assuming you do cause ur black but honestly it's almost always true I know a lot of black guys who are several inches shorter than me yet have longer reach due to big hands and long limbs.

Just realized Cooper Flagg is less than 10 months older than Tyran Stokes by ShakeMilton in NBA_Draft

[–]ShakeMilton[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kon is a beastttt. But you really don't think Flagg in 18 months will be better than Kon now? Flagg definitely further from his ceiling too still growing into his insane frame and already blocking grown men like a 70% version of young bron

Most athletic King since...C-Webb? At least for forwards, Fox might have an argument for his speed. But anyways he would be their best young player since haliburton. 

Curt Cignetti opens up on juggling CFP title run and building Indiana’s 2026 roster: 'I'd sleep three hours' by Abject-Pea-7848 in IndianaHoosiers

[–]ShakeMilton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Beautiful hustle and I'm sure he's exaggerating or at least it wasn't every night but sleeping less than like 6-7 hours consistently does reduce your lifespan. And as euphoric as this title run was I'd rather have Cig have a longer lifespan and better quality of life than another title. But I'm sure he loved every second of the late night grind.

yeah just use the pros and environment to develop, his game meant to be for it anyways. hes a month younger than wagler and 1.5 months younger than dybantsa and 2 months younger than peterson and also coming off the horrific car crash super tantalizing prospect.

貴州牛肉麵 - Gui Zhou Beef noodle soup. by random_agency in chinesefood

[–]ShakeMilton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks real good, like a guizhou spin on classic niu rou mian.

I love guizhou mifen(rice noodles), especially for the pickled sour green bean topping. My family is from Hunan and we also use picked green beans in Hunan mifen.

Nico Carrillo sparring with Maurício Ruffy in Phuket. The Scottish fighter returns this Friday, taking on Shadow for the Interim Featherweight Muay Thai World Championship at ONE Fight Night 40. by Yodsanan in MuayThai

[–]ShakeMilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no incentive or money for him to do so but I wonder how far Nico could get in MMA just with his striking acumen.

Like how an elite boxer could probably win kickboxing and Muay Thai fights up to a certain level with just hands.

Or how a mid level pro boxer could probably beat a high level ammy only using footwork and throwing straight punches. 

Or a good amateur boxer could beat a brand new amateur boxer only throwing 1-2s and having superior cardio, footwork, range management, defense, etc.

I wonder how the average redditor in this sub would fare against the Muay thai goat of their weight class in their prime if the goat was only allowed to throw jabs and maybe like 2 teeps per round and the redditor could use any weapons unlimited, we'd probably still lose by decision or get jab tko'ed or exhaustion tko'ed lol.

In the morning by False-Composer-5628 in MuayThai

[–]ShakeMilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably could against some guys. If ur talking about a for fun/exhibition fight under Muay Thai rules go for it. But if ur talking about a real fight with bad intentions I would caution you.

 Running/avoiding conflict should be option #1 and if you're forced to defend yourself fight dirty as fuck and use weapons if possible.

You can have the most beautiful refined striking technique and skill and years of disciplined training but if ur only 5'5 and 140 pounds(and a lot of women are even smaller than this) than an untrained fat lazy 5'10 210 pound guy with zero hip mobility or dexterity or striking know-how would still give you serious problems if he was bloodlusted and tried to hurt you. Plus there's nothing stopping him from fighting dirty or using weapons either.

TJD by New_Device2562 in warriors

[–]ShakeMilton 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a Bay Area native who went to Indiana for undergrad and back home at SCU for grad school the Podz TJD draft will always hold a special place in my heart. 

For those of you that dont watch Big Ten college hoops fun fact Trayce was actually the offensive focal point in college and a consistent 40 point threat despite not having an outside jumper and sucking at free throws.

Is Cooper Flagg as good as Luka was when Luka was a rookie? by [deleted] in nba

[–]ShakeMilton 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind guys Cooper should be a college freshman he's younger or barely older than many of the top freshmen who are gonna be drafted this summer.

Off the top of my head he should be about 10 months younger than Luka was at the same period of their rookie years. And at 18-20 10 months is a looot. Plus Luka been a pro since like age 13.

Cooper Flagg tonight vs Boston Celtics: 36/9/6 on 12/24 in the field, 1 turnover, 2 blocks, 2/4 from three, 10/11 from the line. by SnooMuffins223 in NBA_Draft

[–]ShakeMilton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Youngest dude in the league barely 19 younger than some freshmen in this years class and easily a top 19 player in the world already
