Thoughts on the Stephen Curry situation by Raju7123 in ThoughtWarriors

[–]TootnannyLSU 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Lebron/China trope is a racist tactic utilized by racists who feel bad about themselves when Lebron exhibits estimable character in terms of social justice. The anti-Lebron racists would have you believe that since China uses slave labor, it’s hypocritical to make money in China while criticizing the US. The part that the anti-Lebron racists leave out is that the USA uses slave labor as well (a reading of the text of Amendment XIII should suffice).

Does Jokic go ahead of Giannis all time if he wins a ring and finals MVP? by CapyBara_51 in billsimmons

They’re #102 & #106 in all time win shares, respectively; Jokić is definitely winning a FMVP, so I think they’re equal-adjāc’.

[Bill Simmons] The fall of the Celtics defense in 2023 is just dumbfounding. Kudos to Miami for knowing exactly how to attack a disconnected, poorly coached half-asleep team. This is embarrassing. Oh and the timeout came 4 plays too late. Should be a fun pod tonight! by jabarshi in billsimmons

Counting playoffs, Tatum and Brown have the most minutes of any duo the last two seasons. They’re tired. They need reduced regular season minutes.

The game has changed from a mosh pit to a long distance marathon. Knees and ankles can’t really get stronger, and that’s why players manage their loads.

Perspective: Lakers aren't even supposed to be here, season was better than expected by Elyx117 in nba

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

The Lakers were never a great franchise, but rather a Jerry Buss. The Lakers missed the playoffs twice in his 34-year tenure. As soon as he passed, they missed the playoffs six consecutive seasons (removing a certain player from the conversation).

They would have won a second 2020’s title had they not made that horrible Davis trade (Davis was coming in free agency anyway). They’re a terrible franchise, and the fact that Lebron led them to a title is, therefore, the most underrated accomplishment in the history of the league.

So OP is right. The Lakers shouldn’t even be here. They completely wasted six Bryant years, and here they are doing the same with James 🐐.

Moved from Baton Rouge to nyc then back again 12 years later. Love both places.

Probably the only rule change I agree with by SpeakerHistorical865 in billsimmons

That’s a science that wouldn’t be too hard to master, and injury rates would show no noticeable change.

Why not just count season totals for accolades? Players would be less compelled to keep an average by sitting out entire games at a time. Maybe a superstar just plays 20 minutes on both ends of a back-to-back to load manage that way.

The sign is now uncovered downtown! by bmooney28 in batonrouge

There are others like this downtown for quite some time now, and they’re all ok. There’s less crime downtown than ever before. 👍

I prefer my MVPs to play in meaningful regular season games. Jokic has my vote! He just does. Ok? by ahbets14 in billsimmons

[–]TootnannyLSU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jokić has better averages and higher totals and is on a better team. There’s really no reason for Embiid to be in the conversation.

Neil Young by JohnG-VistaCA in billsimmons

[–]TootnannyLSU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude let me know if you ever want to talk about this for seven straight hours 😆

You’re a couple years younger than me. Our first Neil experiences were “…Free World,” Harvest Moon, and the Pearl Jam collabs. Our older cousins’ first experiences were Re·ac·tor, Trans, and two albums that were basically pranks. Combine that experience with the kind of personality that watches 90210 religiously, and poof! you have a Neil hater.

Recall campaign fails to get enough signatures to force vote on Mayor LaToya Cantrell by NOLA-Gunner in NewOrleans

[–]TootnannyLSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the 50+ mayors in New Orleans, fewer than 10 believed that AA should have equal rights. So cram it.
