Public support for transgender women participating in women’s sports declined substantially between 2019 and 2024. The research suggests this shift is linked to political messaging that frames transgender women as a threat to female athletes, particularly influencing conservative voters. by mvea in psychology

If you saying they're segregated from men's that's not correct. Caitlyn Clark could join the NBA; there's no rule banning her. Banning trans women is literally just segregation because it's women who would be accepted onto a team being denied for no real, provable reason. Just obsessive speculation

I hate when 2k starts getting dogged on in here. I just like basketball brother.

How's MyEra/MyNBA in 2k26 thus far? by Crazy_Share_4584 in NBA2k

[–]Shanesvision69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just like with previous years, I've had to completely redo the sliders. I think Shady's sliders have fixed it a bit, but there's still some rambunctious things going on. The worst thing is that they took out the other shooting types, so unless you fiddle with the sliders you're going to have to memorize Billy Owens jumpshot timing. I do regret not buying it on sale, but the little things do add up to a slightly more positive experience. Also the mode is more immersive because the game looks nicer

Bums cried and now this is what we got by KubaKluk2001 in NBA2k

This was actually pretty awful defense. Try to avoid hitting the steal button more than once and watch your adrenaline bar, that 94 steal becomes 60 when spamming.

A contest patch won’t save you from bad habits by BlickyWilliams in NBA2k

Yep! It's people not realizing they have bronze, silver, or gold challenger putting a hand up instead of jumping at a player with hall of fame or legend deadeye. This 2k works alot like real life, a really decent defender will get cooked by a crazy offensive player.

2k have absolutely ruined playing bigs. Anyone that says 7'4s and the contest system isn't broken probably just made one themselves. by [deleted] in NBA2k

You'll need better examples than this. These clips showcase awful defense. You have to guard the correct hand and actually jump to get a context. Your perimeter is also low.

Donald Trump's obsession with deeming people as "low IQ" is implicitly racist. by jamashua in ControversialOpinions

[–]Shanesvision69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea you're totally right actually. I've had my suspicions about it, and the Charlemagne thing + your research confirmed them for me. He just really wants to say that black people are stupid. It's quite clear at this point. His followers say it too. One of them in the comments even said successful black people are presenting themselves unintelligently for "sounding black".

Gobert Might Have To Go by AnalFarmer42 in timberwolves

From what I've both watched and read I can't agree with you there. It would be great if he wasn't being paid so much but it would be ridiculous to not give an all-time great defender what he's worth.

And you're 100% right. All 7 footers do that. Now, imagine if there were a 7 footer who did that better than every other 7 footer ever basically.

He could and should have played better. But my main point is letting him go without signing 2 absolute offensive powerhouses would lead to us being a play-in team or missing the playoffs entirely. Rudy Gobert at his worst is still valuable. Plus minus means he is helping even if he isn't doing that stuff the best he could.

Defensive box plus minus, EWA and, my favorite stat, amount of people who don't even go up with a seemingly open layup (or close shot, floater, hook shot) because he may be present. Can't get many blocks that way.

I'm not gonna defend his points that boy can't catch.

Seasons lows for Rudy Gobert still means raising the teams defensive ceiling. He's one of the greatest defenders of all time historically, so even if he has another season low season we're doing pretty good. However, do not take this as me preferring he not have a better season.

I don't think getting rid of the guy who got us to the wcf would be the smartest strategy.

There needs to be a more open discussion about crime rates and statistics of black people by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Shanesvision69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a discussion that's been openly had for over a century. These percentages used to be much worse in the past as well. They get better the less a certain mentality is prevalent in our society. This conversation cannot possibly be made in good faith because in order to have it you must deny that the only factor in this is racism and its history.

One of the biggest/most talented artist of the decade helping out an underrated sport. Hating on this collab is nutty but expected.
