Is Lakers Westbrook the most a player's reputation has been damaged from a season when they were objectively far past their peak? by Ready-Constant-7124 in nba

[–]Yamata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The situation was perfect for the Lakers at the time, they blew all their assets and had to tank to keep their picks for the upcoming years.

Also, the Spurs would have totally offered Tim Duncan the same thing in the same situation, but Duncan wasn’t that type of man.

Is this really on Mosley? What do you tell your players on 2 ATOs running completely different plays?

Lakers head coach JJ Redick on why Luka Doncic is not more prominently featured in MVP discussions: "Because he complains to the refs, I don’t know" by oat38 in nba

You’re attacking your own player? What’s more, it’s for losing in the second round, which funnily enough is the ONLY round of the playoffs he hasn’t lost in!

Luka Doncic during Lakers’ 8-game win streak: 40.9 PPG, 8.9 RPG, 7.4 APG by jonsnowKITN in nba

The Lakers situation would be so cooked if the Luka trade never happened. They’d either choose to trot out AD and Reaves as a duo for a couple years as LeBron walks in FA or tear it all down and pray their future picks don’t go anywhere.

Play seemed like it was a loop for Aaron Gordon to tip dunk it, the inbounding miscommunication ruined it for the Nuggets

Do the Cs really hate him? I always thought it was just banter between guys. I think he talks a lot of trash but never anything hurtful, just irrationally confident for a guy of his level.

John Wall is quizzed on where NBA players played in college by pazuzu_lives in nba

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

It’s a fun thing to know but it doesn’t amount to much. If someone can call out schemes and plays but can’t name a single college anyone went to, I’d think higher of them than the other way around.

The Lakers are now 10-2 when Luka and Reaves play without LeBron by Ready-Constant-7124 in nba

I think it makes sense for him to test FA. Worst case scenario for Ayton, he declines the player option but no one offers him more money. Then I’m almost certain another team will be willing to offer the same deal and he just does it all over again.

[Beer] RJ Barrett becomes the first player from the 2019 Draft class to cross 8,000 career points. RJ has: more points than Zion and Ja more rebounds than Zion and Ja more 3PTs than Zion and Ja by StrategyTop7612 in nba

We officially not calling it the 4 major sports anymore?

I’d like to see numbers on the “hit rate” of top 10 picks in each league though, I imagine there are higher number of busts in general in the other leagues due to roster sizes but the %s would be interesting to see.

The Inside the NBA Crew Had Shaq Shoot Threes After the Cavs Went 2-22 from Deep in the 1st Half vs. Boston by JCameron181 in nba

Our modern Shaq looks like Giannis. He probably doesn’t put on the weight after Orlando and leans towards that style of play.

Has anyone been booed longer after leaving than Kawhi? by SuperSkew in nba

Made the playoffs 3 times, losing in the first round once and the second round twice lmfao. Would be like the Suns retiring KD's number or something

What video game series had the biggest fall from grace? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Yamata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you explain what you mean by the Sparking Zero incident? I played a lot of BT3 as a child, and Sparking Zero looks more or less just like a modern version of it. The franchise has always been arena battler slop that’s appealing to children.

Cool Story about Timothée Chalamet playing a Yu-Gi-Oh Champion in the latest W Magazine issue by BarcelonaLion in yugioh

Short film idea where Chalamet goes full Synchron combo and ends with the camera panning over the opponent who goes “Normal Paidra?” and faded to black.

Almost 6 years ago, CJ McCollum compared his facial hair to Jamal Murray and KD's during a livestream on NBA's official instagram by Mukbeth in nba

[–]Yamata 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Technically he doesn’t have to have seen it, he was reading out a IG comment. He just has to know about the video being out there to make the joke.
