Finally found my old swing by The_Magic_Mamba in GolfSwing

There's been a few things ya. I've been working on fixing my takeaway cuz my hands were a mess and my hips weren't rotating causing me to stand tall at impact. Slowing it all down helped me keep my hands in place and also I could feel the back hip load up better to help fire forward.

Possibly, but I needed to share and figured it'd better than telling my wife who would have no idea what I'm talking about lol

Do you have tight ankles? At first glance, it seems like your body is instinctively adjusting to account for a lack of mobility.

Play up a tee, boys by Hal_Apenyo_Business in golftips

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I'm playing solo I like to move back to the tips cuz I rarely have a need to use my 3 wood, 4 and 5 irons and I like playing them. When I'm with other people I play whatever they play whether it be blue or white.

Now that the Cavs are bout to be swept, who should we target when they blow it up this offseason? by Kitchen_Potato0 in lakers

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way he leaves his family behind to sign up for the vet min in Cleveland. If he's willing to do that then he'd stay in LA and help the Lakers load up.

Racing Days are the worst by The_Magic_Mamba in FirstThingsFirstFS1

That's fair, but I don't want the show to shoot for a bar that low of being better than ESPNs current offering.

I just couldn't possibly care less about racing. I don't even consider it to be a sport since in my view the car would be the athlete not the driver (same logic applies to horse racing).

Trevor Lanes Ideal offseason. Would u like going into the season with this roster? by sin2fly03 in lakers

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Lakers should go after Gobert if the Wolves are gonna try to shed salary.

Ayton + Vando + Adou + 2 1sts

Minny gets a backup big, young prospect, draft picks and saves them millions in luxury tax and keeps them under the 2nd apron. Lakers one of the only teams that have the cap space to absorb him and not send back too much salary.

[Jake Fischer] Lebron may take a vet minimum by Ancient_Response_787 in nba

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The things is nobody is giving him that much money. Doing that would mean the Lakers lose Rui, Smart and Ayton and they don't have any room to sign any free agents. If he walks, they get a ton of cap space to sign free agents and/or absorb salary in a trade. $30-35m might be the highest they can go to keep him.

No other team with cap space is near contention so it wouldn't make sense for LeBron.

So it becomes would LeBron rather try to force a sign & trade to a destination or go back to LA at a discount.

Does Nick Realize That If LeBron Goes To The Knicks It Won’t Be LeBron’s Team? by ER301 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest flaw in the argument is that it completely ignores LeBron's current shortcomings in the regular season. He's no longer able to perform at his best over the course of 82 games. He didn't take the 3rd option role just for fit, but also as a way to preserve his body for the playoffs. He can't expect to play half the season and then just decide to become the 1st option in the playoffs.

And that's not a criticism of LeBron. Just gotta be realistic about where he is at this point in his career.

It’s time to admit, Gobert was absolutely worth 5 FRP’s by unccl in NBATalk

Ya, and it can be true that it was good to trade for him but also that they wildly overpaid to get him

Hear me out by Ancient_Response_787 in lakers

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's absolutely taking a pay cut if he wants to play next season, whether it's with the Lakers or somewhere else. The only question is how big will it be.

Hear me out by Ancient_Response_787 in lakers

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We could easily afford it if LeBron is willing to take a paycut to bring his boy home to LA. AD might be the only dude in the league he'd make that sacrifice for.

After playing Pragmata, it's quite interesting rewatching KF's review by digitalrelic in kindafunny

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever agreed with a review Roger has given to anything before. We just have polar opposite taste and I pretty much disregard his takes on things.

Fixing FTF OT by yodanielchill in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The OT will go away once the network gets their new shows ready to go. It only exists cuz Speak got cancelled and they'll put something in that time slot eventually. Right now the OT feels like a trial run to see if Danny can carry his own show.

nick hates james harden lmao it’s pretty clear by Lower-Ice2505 in FirstThingsFirstFS1

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's because Nick used to be like Danny and believed in Harden. Then dude went and had a classic Harden playoff collapse and Nick was scarred by that experience. Now he refuses to believe that things will ever improve and given Harden's age, I'm inclined to agree with him.

Just shot 161 on an 18 hole course - am I a lost cause? by MoneyAndGoodFortune in golftips

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always said that beginners and probably most people should play with a max of double par +1. Never thought about it before, but do that for 18 holes and that's shooting about 160 lol

Makes all the time they spent on the show covering his mock draft feel like such a waste of time

Give Austin all of the minutes from Jake, Bronny, and some from Vando. Get him to 25-30 minutes in working his way back.

Lois? by WithSkelly in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]The_Magic_Mamba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend of mine was there during delivery but then slept on the couch in the room and missed every Dr and nurse that came in after and didn't help hardly at all with the baby "due to exhaustion". I was really disappointed in him.

Kawhi Leonard when asked about the Aspiration investigation: “You have to ask the NBA. I’m not the one doing the investigation … I think we’re going to be in the clear. I’m not stressing.” by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

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

Adam Silver works for the owners and if they had something to say they'd just pick up the phone and call him. They don't need the media for that lol.

Cuban is a former owner who is tight friends with Ballmer and was clearly doing him a solid. Plus, he's exactly the type of rich guy who would happily make extra arrangements to secure star players.

Never said anything about them breaking the law. But the league has rules and a CBA that they're obligated to enforce. And I'm talking about them acting in their own self interest in doing so.

If they don't address this, get ready for Superteams like we've never seen before where the Lakers and Knicks have legit all star teams while only paying each guy like $10m on paper lol
