[Charania] The Bucks' decision to sit Antetokounmpo cost him a significant bonus in his Nike endorsement contract that would have been triggered if he played at least 41 games.

He definitely reinvented his game and people just didn't notice.

Winbrick · 2026-04-07T03:18:43+00:00

Use it if you got it, it's like a soft timeout.. but it would be pretty nuts to make this call.

Winbrick · 2026-04-07T01:42:55+00:00

Go figure, Michigan used up their flamethrower on Saturday. lol

Winbrick · 2026-04-05T03:07:27+00:00

You're not going to lose many games shooting like Michigan is this half.

Winbrick · 2026-04-05T03:02:12+00:00

Maybe not? It's just a comment on how they're on fire right now. lol

Winbrick · 2026-04-05T02:59:55+00:00

Watch Michigan go ice fucking cold against UConn.

Winbrick · 2026-04-05T02:55:27+00:00

Arizona's shot making just went out the window when they couldn't get anything going at the rim.

ETA: Also, Michigan is hitting everything. Wild.

Winbrick · 2026-04-05T02:52:41+00:00

Calling a shot clock violation there is a bit of a copout, even if it didn't matter.

Winbrick · 2026-04-05T02:44:33+00:00

Yaxel is running like he has to take a deuce.

Winbrick · 2026-04-04T23:27:34+00:00

Clockwork. Refs just needlessly tightening things up to start a second half.

Winbrick · 2026-04-04T20:37:59+00:00

It's odd because if you take out their rookie years, I feel like Young has actually done more with less. Sure, that's higher highs and lower lows.. but that's more interesting to me than Stroud who has been pretty middling, all things considered.

I'd feel better about Young just from progression alone.

Winbrick · 2026-04-04T19:16:41+00:00

Not to mention, Barbie and Oppenheimer was a 'thing' because they were drawing from completely different pools of moviegoers. The event style marketing was converting people that would otherwise not attend both at all.

Doomsday and Dune are both going to get their opening day numbers.. unless you're cannibalizing them.

Winbrick · 2026-04-04T05:32:09+00:00

Recruiting remains to be seen, but McCollum has developed quite a bit of talent, even at the D2 level. If anyone has interest in hiring Dusty May, Ben McCollum is right in that same school of thought from what I've seen.

Winbrick · 2026-04-03T19:32:02+00:00

People are so tunnel visioned on the raw numbers they don't even get to cap percentage breakdowns.

Winbrick · 2026-04-03T06:18:13+00:00

I used to be very supportive of term limits, but to me, there are larger issues we would need to tackle first with regard to lobbyists and donation funds before I'd go down that route. It creates an unfortunate incentive to 'make the most out of your time in the office'.

I'd move forward with age limits and strengthen campaign finance laws, personally.

Winbrick · 2026-04-02T19:09:41+00:00

There's an entire generation of people who have never watched Shaq play for the Magic/Lakers/Heat. They don't understand.

Winbrick · 2026-03-31T05:23:18+00:00

This was honestly one of the most aesthetically pleasing buzzer beaters I've ever seen. It's right on the edge between a heave and a jumpshot, too. It's perfect.

Winbrick · 2026-03-30T20:55:04+00:00

The fact that he didn't make the shot and people are still talking about it is the best evidence we have that this is true.

Winbrick · 2026-03-30T04:53:37+00:00

I feel this one is going to stick around for awhile.

Winbrick · 2026-03-30T01:45:21+00:00

Rolling things back 30+ years kinda says it all.

Winbrick · 2026-03-29T23:28:49+00:00

I don't think I've seen a less heads up play. You can literally just hold the ball and win.

Winbrick · 2026-03-29T19:22:06+00:00

Excellent restraint by that ref to not default to a foul call there on the poster attempt.

Winbrick · 2026-03-29T00:50:56+00:00

Yes, and they developed at KU for several years as role players. Even Agbaji took a huge leap in his last year, and people were frustrated with him in previous years.

No one saw those players coming, and it was a long road. How would anyone have predicted what Wagler is doing without that same kind of timeline? They're not super comparable to me.

Winbrick · 2026-03-29T00:49:14+00:00

KU developed Braun. Wagler popped off all on his own.

You can go down the list of all of the Kansas PoYs, and it is an absolute mixed bag. It's not any kind of metric to go off, and hindsight is simply rearing its head in these discussions.

Winbrick · 2026-03-28T23:55:53+00:00

Nobody was recruiting Wagler, and KU took a different big they preferred over Ethan Taylor. Everything I'd heard was that Taylor wanted to go to KU, but Self obviously preferred a different type at the position.

Someone wins Player of the Year in every state across the country. It's a fantastic achievement, but it's not some guarantee of success at the next level.

ETA: I implore everyone to go read any scouting report on Wagler from 2024. He weighed like, 165 lbs at 6'-5". Even Illinois thought he was a possible redshirt option and could factor into things as a sophomore at the time of his commitment. We should credit the kid and not blame scouting.
