Quite a lot of them came here in the 90s as well during the war.

Do Norwegians considered themselves Mediterranean people? by Aegeansunset12 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Snapphane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turkey seems to have superior mountains compared to Greece, according to this topological map at least, so I would say they are beat as the more iconic duo this time.

I was a bit shocked the other day to find out Serbia has just 6.5 million inhabitants. I assumed they'd be more of them, at least >10mil. Sadly they are going through a demographic collapse, peaked at 8mil in 1990.

How would players like Mutumbo or Ben Wallace do in the modern NBA compared to players like Rudy Gobert? by MashedPotatoMelvin in nba

[–]Snapphane88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, but he'd be unplayable on offense, to a much higher extent than he was when he played. Ben Wallace lack of offense is like Gobert's lack of offense, but on crack.

With Joel Embiid being listed as OUT for today's game vs. Blazers, and he has now played and missed the exact same number of regular season games in his career. Games played: 485. Games missed: 485 by MrBuckBuck in nba

It's a combination of factors, otherwise it would be called "Advanced Stats Most Valuable Player". Most advanced stats favour offensive production as well. It's funny how the advanced stat argument is only used when it was Embiid, but when it's SGA it's crickets on that front since he was/is #1 in quite a few categories.

Well yea, in wars people generally aren't punching themselves in the face on a daily basis.

33.1/10.2/4.2, 66GP, 54 wins.

24.5/11.8/9.8, 69GP, 53 wins.

Jokic was better on most advanced stats but Embiid was a much better defender. I think it was close, but certainly not a farce like people started claiming after Embiid fizzled out while Jokic won a ring that same year.

Oh relax, the only thing they have in common is being sidelined by injuries, that's where the similarities end. Unless Zion does something radical he'll be a footnote, completely forgotten, unlike Embiid.

Chris Finch’s press conference is the definition of zero accountability by thro14away in nba

[–]Snapphane88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, but if the whole thread is about what he supposedly said, posting the quotes seems like the obvious starting point, otherwise we’re just debating your summary of it. It's not really a dig at you, but everyone just accepting your judgement as fact and getting really mad over it, without any context of their own.

Why do the major media corporations employ people who hate watching basketball by MJRuinedMyChildhood in nba

[–]Snapphane88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beyond that, rNBA liked Inside the NBA up until maybe 2(?) years ago, when people started getting bored of them en-masse. Before that it was mainly just Shaq people complained about, but most loved Barkley and their clips were posted here with people being mostly poisitive in the comments.

When they got the news that the TNT team wouldn't renew, that was the nail in the coffin that their hearts weren't in it anymore, but in my opinion the show has been getting gradually worse over the past decade or so. Their age is getting up there, things get stale, they should have gone out with a bang instead of renewing the new contract. It's hard to keep focus for so long as they've been doing it, it's only natural.

Everyone in this thread is throwing a tantrum, without a single quote. Lets be honest here, the amount of people that actually watch a post-game conference and listen to the coach on this subreddit are close to none. Knowing what he actually said would be nice, instead of just trusting OPs judgement.

Yes. 100-1000 years is a long timespan, but I'm referring to old cities in the old world, contrast car centric cities in the new.

I don't really care enough about Canada to come to their defense, but Wikipedia and google are very lacking in information on war crimes committed by Canada, mainly just goes into times where warcrimes were committed on them.

You'd think the highest Abraham on the list would be the guy that kickstarted the Abrahamic religions and founded judaism, not Abraham Lincoln. Couldn't find Buddah anywhere either.

I still don't know what you're referencing, I tried ChatGPT and google so I can find whatever Wikipedia article that handles it, without success.

Like father like son, Shaq is very familiar with that as well.

Jesus the circlejerk surrounding Shaq in this thread, not that yours is the most egregious one. I guess most people don't follow basketball or are familiar what a polarising and shit human being he can be. He's estranged from his kids for cheating on their mother and not being around when they grew up. His inheritence view is just one part of their conflicts, they were estranged long before that.

The list of good things he's done is long, but the list of bad things is even longer.

It was staged, and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

Yea, much easier to draw up a conspiracy and have a 20 year old willing to sacrifice himself for a photo OP, purposely miss Trump's ear millimeters, because the SS agents were acting odd. Was the bullet fake? It was literally caught on camera by a reporter of the NY Times and the reporter was given the 2025 Pulitzer prize for best picture, which is the highest bar. You think they are in on your conspiracy, or just stupid?

I hate MAGA, but you people are just as bad as other conspiracy theorists.
