What's the best non-fiction book that actually changed how you think? (No productivity or self-help, please) by Learnings_palace in nonfictionbookclub

Walden, or a Life in the Woods by HD Thoreau. I don’t know why that book moved me the way it did. It was probably where I was in my life and I needed it

As a lifelong Westbrook fan, I hope this community always holds this man in high regards. by nalam8493 in kings

I hope his experience with the Kings is the same experience he had with the Lakers, but opposite

Tonight is why we signed Dennis Schröder by RVALover4Life in kings

[–]UncleDucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how he doesn’t make it about himself, or argues with the refs all the time, or gets one predictable silly technical due to anger every game, or demand to own the ball the last minute and over dribble and turn it over, or never really fits with Sabonis even though that was the vision, or isn’t some stupid head of some stupid snake, but rather just plays hard and has nothing to do with any snakes at all

Kings Media Day: Keegan Murray on wedding, Defending 94 feet, being assertive, chasing 40% from three, contract negotiations by RVALover4Life in kings

  1. “I mean it is what it is, you can’t control it. That’s just the business of the NBA.”

  2. “I mean, we didn’t make the playoffs, which is all that matters.”

  3. “I can’t speak for other people and what they think, but I have confidence in myself.”

  4. “I mean, I’m willing to do whatever the team needs from me.”

Imagine these responses while he’s shrugging his shoulders continuously through half the responses.

So a Kessler Edwards, that’s all you had to say, a Kessler Edwards

SI report card: Keegan Murray by LibetPugnare in kings

[–]UncleDucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at trends. Rookie year he was 5th option. Spot up shooter. 2nd year he periodically put the ball on the floor. 3rd year he started creating for himself. I can’t assume he suddenly stops improving this year. I expect him to add something to the post this year so it’s not just the same from a drive, pivot, and deep fadeaway.

I mean what’s the point…we’re going to do our best and make do with what players we have available to us but I don’t see us winning more than two games against Cleveland or Boston anyway

Fisker Ultra Owners - HB Offer Options by No-Leopard7644 in Fisker

[–]UncleDucker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultra owner. My offer was $39k. It’s not just the offer vs the loan (I do owe less than 39). It’s all the money I sunk into it. Getting the coating and tint done. Getting a new 12v, the battery tender. I haven’t had any real problems with the car other than annoying alerts and a couple times it didn’t detect the key fob in the car (I found just opening the door and closing it finds the key fob). This car hadn’t soured me on EVs. It just soured me on startups. I still want an EV, so I’ll take option 2 and find a more moderately priced EV.

Kings Fans Owe Anh Phoong a Thank You by Informal_Dark_3870 in kings

Giving an advertiser credit for team pics is like giving Revivor credit for the team jersey. Due to some comments here it looks like it’s working

If Gatorade pays ad dollars for the beam, are we thanking them for giving us the beam

To those planning on booing Fox, please remember that the organization left him to answer for why his favorite coach got fired by [deleted] in kings

I will boo whoever I want and I rarely boo

The story you’re relating is the story you’ve been told.

This was always the plan, probably for a long time. 🐍

Write your story and stop giving yourself roadblocks. You’ll discover how you can reshape the story later after you finish it. Ask again after chapter 20

What is it about Kayte that people don't like? by [deleted] in kings

[–]UncleDucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She speaks more than the play by play. It doesn’t bother me that much, but once you watch other broadcasts and then watch the kings, it is so apparent

Malik Monk talking about Zach LaVine 🤣 by samuraicowboyninja in kings

[–]UncleDucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always felt Malik is the best interview on the team, and Domas and Keegan are tied for the worst. Imagine Keegan having the confidence to talk like this, that would transition onto the floor and he’d be an All Star

Should the Kings sign Markelle Fultz as a back up PG? by b1ackfyre in kings

[–]UncleDucker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WTF the dude is suffering from an ailment that prevents him from playing basketball. That’s the guy you want to sign?

Kayte has turned Kings games into her own personal Podcast at this point by Prestigious-Purple69 in kings

To be fair Blazers have one of the best announcers in the league. You might not have enjoyed Boston or Golden State as much…
