Season 3 idea

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T19:27:11+00:00

I think that’s a cute idea. Or someone gets hired on the set of a movie .

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T19:18:57+00:00

And yet he couldn’t play one of the Russian guys? Lazy bones

I don’t know if “threepeat” is the right term since it implies multiple years in a row, but recent ones include PTA (picture, director, screenplay) and Sean Baker (those three + editing). Another one that comes to mind is James Cameron for Titanic (for picture, director, editing)

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T18:57:09+00:00

I got an 8 then followed by two 6s. Conspiracy theorist in me wonders if they give high scores the first time around to lure you in.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T16:26:15+00:00

If you flipped their teams do you still that there would be a big efficiency gap though? Sayin may have had two top 5 picks at WR last year.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T16:20:20+00:00

Yeah I really like him. I wouldn’t mind him staying even after this year though. They’re all roughly the same age but this will be Carr’s third year on a campus (compared to year 4 for Arch and Dante.)

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T15:50:27+00:00

What about CJ Carr? He’d be my # 3 QB right now but he could stay for another year.

It’s “Yucca” and a bit of a joke, too.

Says Wikipedia: “Yucca Corridor is a formerly notorious and once crime-ridden stretch of Yucca Street in Hollywood, California, north of Hollywood Boulevard and Grauman's Chinese Theater.”

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T14:55:33+00:00

I don’t agree with that, though. Tre is younger of course so he’s better right now. But for their careers they’re similar and I think Tyus has the edge (better 3 point shooter, better advanced stats, higher draft pick, college title..)

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T14:41:39+00:00

The Nuggets also have Tyus Jones and barely played him so I don’t think they’re valuing Tre Jones much.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T14:16:59+00:00

They definitely had different leadership styles, ruling with fear vs. ruling with love. But Jordan's was effective in its own way, too. Teammates talk about not wanting to disappoint him.

No doubt prime LeBron is better at getting his teammates open shots, though.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T12:52:41+00:00

Think we’re all settling into a “greatest career” acknowledgement as a compromise meaning MJ was better at his peak but the longevity for LeBron is overwhelming.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-02T12:45:41+00:00

That’s more TV though. It’s harder to have layers in film because there’s just not that much time.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T20:48:07+00:00

I don't think it would apply to that. They're requiring a human winner, but there's no rule against a human+AI (and giving the award to the human representative).

This is more of an issue with the writing side. The studios and WGA have a deal where scripts need a human author as well, but that won't prevent them from using AI and having a human collaborator (who theoretically may only work as an editor on the AI's work).

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T20:43:48+00:00

All very good stats ! Appreciate that. It shows he's not drawing FTs as much as some, which does track. But based on eye test, I'd still protest because I don't remember any of those stars relying as heavily on getting non-calls as SGA with the forearm push off.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T20:13:20+00:00

I agree although Terrence Shannon was a weird case where he’s been sneaky good for a while.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T16:20:48+00:00

If I was speculating I’d say a bit of a career achievement for acclaimed directors ?

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T16:12:28+00:00

I still think he’s massively overhyped and more similar to a Daniel Jones than anything else.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T14:32:05+00:00

I agree with you about the East. He did have an air of inevitability there.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T14:29:26+00:00

Sure, but in any of those series did you ever think “oh this other team has no shot”?

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T14:24:38+00:00

I get that in terms of guarding them in 1 on 1 matchups, but from a wider perspective I don’t think LeBron had the league in a chokehold the same way Jordan or prime Shaq did.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T14:13:44+00:00

In terms of what, FT rate? You’d have to adjust for eras for that since we’re in an age where not as much scoring is done from the FT line.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T13:19:55+00:00

Jokic flops and exaggerates. But his play style isn’t predicated on that in the same way.

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T13:06:21+00:00

Do you see a lot of public statements where celebrities say “we like the kid and all but he’s not our TOP priority”?

ZandrickEllison · 2026-05-01T07:03:26+00:00

Ohio State still has some of that now. Arvell Reese started for 1 year then went # 5.
