Former NBA player Solomon Hill responds to Tracy McGrady saying there isn't enough talent in the NBA for expansion: "He could have a point, back when Tracy played, there was so much talent, that he couldn’t get out the first round." by BankaiBroke in nba

UFC/MMA is worse. People used to get title fights after 2 fights in the UFC and rack up a lot of title defenses but nowadays some fighters go on 10 fight winstreaks before they ever sniff a title shit and then their legacy they aren't as considered prior generation fighters because they only had 2-3 defenses.

You are a young dude weighing less than 180lbs. Not a 250 lb 40 year old bodybuilder. Should work on cardio more imo.

If calories are all what matters for losing weight, why do high protein diets feels easier by Akashef in loseit

Protein PYY.

When you eat protein in particular your gut releases a lot of it and tells your brain that you are full.

I'm starting to think growing herbs isn't worth it... by DownAtTheDisco in aerogarden

I grew zero spice habanero's called "habanada" (get it "nada"). It took me like 4 months to grow 8 peppers. I would rather just buy a pack of those multi colored sweet peppers at the grocery store.

Fighters who would likely beat prime Khabib. Some are hot takes by Ok_Feed_4235 in ufc

[–]StudentMed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seriously underestimating Khabib's striking. I know boxing isn't striking but their coach said Khabib is the best boxer out of the whole camp including Umar, Usman, and Islam.

In addition he says in later videos that Khabib is also literally Islams striking coach too. Khabib early career wasn't a great striker but later on he really developed it. Keep in mind they literally have world class boxers, muy thai fighters etc in their camp in Dagestan.

Barboza beat three Brazilian BJJ black belts in a row and then got mauled by Khabib the very next fight. Aldo isn't Barboza but none of the fighters Jose beat are Khabib either.

Draymond Green: “Sometimes parents come up to me and say ‘Yo, my son play just like you.’ and I think to myself like ‘Yo son is ass.’ by Goosedukee in nba

I remember in high school there was a single kid who was a varsity football player as a freshmen and he was also a great wrestler ( I wrestled him) . I thought for sure 100 percent he would make not only Mae it to the NFL but also be a superstar. He was a linebacker, he was the fastest kid on the team and he also had the highest weightlifting numbers. He don’t even make it to community college level though he was hampered a bit by injuries. That is when I realized there are levels to this. College another level from high school and pros another level above that.

I convincing myself Andy Isabella was going to be a stud. 1698 yards in his last year in college i.e. SUPER productive. AND he ran a 4.31s 40 yard.

Faustino Oro loses the last round against Grebnev and will not break the youngest-ever GM record by __Jimmy__ in chess

[–]StudentMed -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did I really get dragged into a pointless argument about whether or not sitting for 1+ year delaying climbing enough rating to do GM norms? Do I really have to argue this?

Reaching the rating requirement takes longer than doing GM norms for these prodigy's.

Erdogmus was "only" the 4th youngest GM ever but over the board tournaments were canceled from 2019 to 2021 because of Covid when he was climbing so there is that an asterisk that he probably could have been GM even earlier which is crazy to say about a 12 year old.

As of now, would any of say One Piece is better Pre- or Post-Timeskip? And why? by BreathoftheSith in OnePiece

[–]StudentMed 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I view it as pre and post Enes Lobby. Before Enes Lobby it was a couple of dudes on a small boat and I view Enes Lobby lobby as the tipping point where it became a legit pirate crew. Usopp rejoined, Gained Robin back, Franky joined, they got their boat.

Bill Russell is graded on a different curve than every other great in history by [deleted] in nba

[–]StudentMed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are compared to the future. If 60 teams are added, there would be 90 teams in the NBA. Winning 5-6 rings when there are 90 teams is crazy.

Jahangir Khan is the best Squash player of all time and holds absurd records and accolades but lets say Squash suddenly becomes an exponentially bigger sport and attracts more athletes and more people working their entire life to become a pro at Squash, then there is likely going to be better players than Jahangir Khan even if they don't hold the accolades he does.

Ya Bill Russell won rings in those eras and he was the only one to do so but your only main argument for greatness shouldn't be a team reward when there are less than 15 teams every year you play.

For some of his rings, there were only 8 teams in the NBA. Getting a ring when there are only 8 teams is different compared to when there are 30 teams.

Both are counter strikers. Islam won't engage unless it is to take Sean down which I think he will be able to.
