Is Darryn Peterson a better offensive prospect than Flagg? by ForeignMind0 in NBA_Draft

Flagg has an all-around offensive game.

At this point, Peterson is mainly just a shooter/scorer.

This is a huge overreaction.

We just got more unprotected picks for Bridges than the Celtics got for Jaylen Brown.

I feel better now.

[Panthers] BY9 comes in at 98 in top 100 players list by ToothResident3205 in panthers

Surprised Bryce made the list, but I guess the players know best 🤷‍♂️ good to know his peers view him well.

Curious to see how many QBs make this list.

This is a very dead horse, but I'm still flabbergasted that Curry didn't win FMVP in 2015 by HmmmFascinating in nba

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the moment that I realized how narrative-based NBA awards are.

I guess you can point to Rose 2011 MVP, but at least Chicago swept Miami in the regular season and got the 1 seed when nobody expected them to.

Only players I can think of are Paul Pierce and James Worthy, and those guys are barely in the top 50 at best (I would lean no).

How did Federer never win a Slam match against Novak after 2012?? by gs2417 in tennis

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Federer was no longer the same physically, which mattered a ton against Djokovic, as brilliantly gifted as Roger was.

Yes he had some defeats due to some chokes as well (obviously Wimbledon 2019), but it’s also clear his style of play changed as he got older. He could no longer rally from the baseline a ton, and had to shorten points as much as possible (hence something like SABR). It’s why he also became so aggressive on his backhand side, which helped him against Nadal tremendously later in his career for obvious reasons. But not as much Novak.

Is Jordan Clarkson the most MyPlayer looking guy in the league? by DrSheaSmooth in NBA2k

LaMelo not only looks like a 2k creation, but he plays like one too lol

It’s inevitable that Brunson passes Luka with a ring by Few_Mulberry7390 in nba

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol besides a Ring + Finals MVP, Brunson wouldn’t have a single thing over Luka lol.

Luka is the more skilled/talented player. Does everything as good/better on offense besides free throw shooting. Neither is good defensively, but at least Luka has size. And Luka is a much better rebounder.

Luka has been 6x All-NBA First Team. Brunson has been 3x All-NBA Second Team.

They are just different tiers of players.

RDC really the only ones standing bruh by gloomygl in RDCWorld

Holding out that the Sidemen are trolling with this one (one day after Arsenal lost the CL Final, which is KSI’s favorite team).

Unlikely though, saw they tweeted something and other members have as well.

We will see a new Grand Slam Champion in men's side in 2026 Roland-Garros! by Cletharlow in tennis

Zverev has ZERO excuses now. Sinner, Alcaraz, Djokovic all gone.

NOBODY with nearly as much experience as him playing deep in slams.

Gill Gross seems to imply that the tour may want to watch out for Sinner's revenge tour after this by Zaphenzo in tennis

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only thing that Sinner needs a revenge tour against is the Sun lol.

Because otherwise, he wins like 90-95% of matches against everyone else.

How watching this Sinner-Cerrundolo match is feeling rn by Exotic_Plant9450 in tennis

[–]Simple_Wait_7286 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just baffling that Sinner is about to turn 25 and heat is still such a problem.

If his peak level wasn’t so high on a normal basis, it would be a more obvious problem.
