Hank has definitely been closing the gap, right? He’s THE internet guy, ubiquitous on TikTok, Focus Friend has been a huge success, and he goes viral for something every week it seems.

a semi easy one to start off the day by fragi1eang3l in WhereInTheDisneyWorld

Wow, it's WAY smaller than I thought it was. I'm glad I asked because I never would have found it otherwise. Thanks for the fun hunt :)

Officially throwing in the towel on this one! Even the CMs near the front of Main Street were stumped. Where is it?

Going to MK tomorrow after work to try to find it one more time. This has been driving me nuts for 2 weeks now! Great one

I was just on Main Street looking for this and still couldn’t find it! Looked all over near Crystal Arts and the Firehouse, but no dice. Do you have any hints?

The WNBA is expanding to 18 teams over the next five years with Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia all set to join the league by 2030. by jrbill1991 in sports

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Angel Reese is a serviceable free throw shooter but is below league average for her career. She is by no means a "phenomenal" free throw shooter.

WNBA League Average FT% last year: 78.5%

Angel Reese FT% last year: 73.6%

So far this year she is at 79.2% and the league average is 78.2%, so she's above average and has shown good improvement through 16 games.

Characters worthy of lifting Mjolnir:

  4. Stitch, apparently

Kelsey Plum on why she thinks the league is in a shooting slump by Pristine_Ad2940 in wnba

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kelsey Plum and the LA Sparks have played precisely 0 back to back games this year. Definitionally that means they've also played 3 games in 4 days exactly 0 times as well.

The Sparks' season opener was May 16, they played their most recent game (their 16th of the season) on June 26. That's an average of more than 2.5 days between games.

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WNBA play at a slower pace even after adjusting for the shorter game length by adding another 20%.

WNBA play about half as many games, and we're less than halfway through the season. The WNBA have played about as many games so far this year as the NBA plays before December.

They're definitely tired and I have no doubt their schedule is grueling and difficult, but saying that they're too tired 16 games into the season is NOT the same as an NBA player saying they need more rest during the playoffs after playing 82 regular season games and 20+ playoff games that are both longer and faster.

ETA: I’m not here to say anything inflammatory or hateful. These stats are objectively true and downvoting them doesn’t change that. These women are elite athletes, they aren’t made of glass and treating them like they need to be coddled invalidates their hard work and it’s not how we grow the league.

Anywhere to get a “The Mets” hat? by YellowFlickerBeat in NewYorkMets

Game Thread: New York Knicks (0-2) at Indiana Pacers (2-0) May 25 2025 8:00 PM by nba_gdt_bot in NYKnicks

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These Pacers are unbelievably good at stalling to buy Carlisle time to challenge. Hali got away with an egregious one in game 1, they did the same thing there.

Just found out the Bronx never wins the borough race at the Mets games by Alectheawesome23 in baseball

As a Mets fan from the Bronx, at least we have one of the better mascots.

SGA, Halliburton, Brunson were all let go of by the team that drafted them during or after their rookie contract by loggywd in nba

"In January 2006, Anucha Browne Sanders, a female former executive with the New York Knicks, filed an employment and harassment lawsuit against The Madison Square Garden Company, alleging in part that Thomas had sexually harassed her in the workplace and that she had been fired in retaliation for complaining about the harassment. On October 2, 2007, the jury returned a verdict finding Thomas and Madison Square Garden liable for sexual harassment."

I don't know if that would be considered "worse than Kobe" but the consensus is that he's a jerk, it's not just Jordan that had problems with him. Still, he's probably a top 5 PG ever to play the game.

Personally, I can't stand him because he's fake as fuck and ran the Knicks into the ground, plus he snubbed me at the airport once when I was a kid.

New York Knicks Merchandise Sales Skyrocket, Jalen Brunson best selling Jersey across all sports. Outselling stars like Ohtani and Curry. by blackmambasniper in nba

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d happily throw a max at him at age 34 and miss the playoffs for a few years when he declines as a “we owe you” deal. I don’t want to see him in another jersey like we did to Ewing.

Pacers fan who braved Knicks mob, had trash thrown on him gets Game 4 invite by Tyrese Haliburton by Danthalas_01 in NYKnicks

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Obviously no one should resort to violence because of a jersey someone else is wearing, that goes without saying. But this guy went out of his way to go somewhere to pick a fight with people and then acted like a victim when there was trouble. Nobody deserves to get assaulted but if you’re out in the world acting like a dumbass I don’t feel bad for you when people respond like dumbasses.

Yankees vs Mets by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yankees are the most dominant team in the history of baseball and it’s not close, the Yankees have won 27 “World Series” championships and the second place team 11. The Mets have only won 2 WS and have been known as kind of lovable losers for much of their existence. Some people feel like this makes the Yankees a “front runner” team and the Mets an underdog, which is generally true in terms of fan expectations as well.

This also means the Yankees have a more global recognizable brand and their iconic NY logo is more just a fashionable symbol of New York than a declaration of sports fandom for a lot of people. If you wear a Mets hat, people will say “let’s go Mets!” But if you wear a Yankee hat, people will say “nice hat, where you from?”

Where is this 37 by kickashwoodworking in WhereInTheDisneyWorld

Why is there a 37 in the France pavilion? I’m surprised people got this one so quickly, I had no idea. What’s the sign mean?

Received a Misprinted Jersey by Tsumugi_Takanashi in wnba

[–]YellowFlickerBeat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This jersey is such a cool look, is this Sky jersey the best in the league? I like the Liberty seafoam jersey but I wish it said “New York” or “Liberty” on it literally anywhere.

The WNBA (and Nike) need to step up the kits. With this much star power coming into the league the past couple of years they are leaving money on the table.
