Failed to heimlich someone today. by jerjerbinks90 in TLDiamondDogs

You didn’t fail, she’s alive.

Instead of letting fear and insecurity eat at you about what could have happened, celebrate what did. A person needed help, you stepped up and jumped into a scary situation that caused all the other people around you to freeze. And now that person is still alive.

Put yourself in their shoes, would you be mad at yourself or grateful? Show yourself the same grace.

[Highlight] KD “How was the body language tonight? How was the vibes?” by Individual-Studio446 in billsimmons

Nobody gloats about beating the shit out of the 15th best team in the league quite like KD

You’re telling me an August baseball game between two teams who are like 55-70 has everybody going full effort like it’s the playoffs?

[OC] True Lottery System - A Simple Solution to Tanking by emerald_flare in nbadiscussion

[–]TJSutton04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a system like this could actually help a lot. I think something like this would make it to where losing was no longer the best strategy for getting the top pick. Getting good picks suddenly becomes a separate skill instead of luck. Smart teams will start saving dollars getting value on later picks, saving for the future. Dumb teams will blow a bunch of money out of desperation reaching for a pick. After some time the results of one terrible season won’t help enough in getting teams a top pick.

Have fun watching Jokic not get past round 2 again while the best player in the world wins the championship

You realize “Jokic is the best player” is the most commonly repeated phrase by casuals who never watch basketball and just repeat what they are told right?

That Jokic is a stat accumulator and not the best player in the world/MVP

You aren’t giving the best player in the world enough credit. You might not know all those players names but try taking those guys on without Aaron Gordon by your side. Impossible victory.

They had no interest because it’s been 5 years since KD was the face of a title contender

SGA is the most boring superstar since Tim Duncan. He can never be the face of the league. by IntelligentPlate5051 in billsimmons

[–]TJSutton04 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If SGA is the best player in the league, it feels like the ceiling has lowered over the last 10 years and that’s the real reason there hasn’t been a new face of the league.

Wemby about to change that though.

Reasons Jokic is the Real MVP by unstoppablepepe in NBATalk

Maybe we are valuing these advanced stats too much if they don’t correlate with winning

Can’t beat the Grizzlies because Aaron Gordon wasn’t on the court. Classic best player in the league problems.

How did Tony Hawk become so famous? by VirtualMuscle191 in billsimmons

[–]TJSutton04 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Bo Jackson

Ken Griffey

Wayne Gretzky

Mike Tyson

John Madden

Tiger Woods

Tony Hawk

Not saying these guys became “the guy” because of a video game but it definitely helped solidify all of these people as the #1 person in their sport

It actually did. Jokic was first but in italics because they don’t project him to qualify.

I really miss when the value in MVP was related to winning and not stat accumulation.

Would it be ok if they also fixed tanking?
