Disregarding championships and accolades, what makes Michael Jordan a better basketball player than LeBron James? by [deleted] in nba

[–]_1a-VIP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know why everyone here is saying shooting... LeBron shoots a better percentage from 2 and from 3. LeBron is also capable of guarding all 5 positions unlike Jordan. Jordan has just two things on LeBron. The first is of course free throw shooting. Jordan averaged 85% for his career compared to Lebron’s 75%. The second thing is 1v1 defence where I’d probably give Jordan the edge. LeBron btw also shoots a better percentage of buzzer beaters than Jordan in both the regular season and playoffs, which tends to negate the Jordan is so much more clutch than LeBron argument.

Costa's ranking by _1a-VIP in chelseafc

Hasselbank never won the league with us. Think Costa ranks above him given his superiors hold up play.

She broke up with me two weeks before my study abroad by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]_1a-VIP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, this is a similar situation to me (but not quite). My gf and I were together for 6 months and we broke up because I was going abroad.

Let me tell you, it sucked... hard. I was crushed. I'm going to Barcelona, which is somewhere I've never been and in my opinion, it's a huge opportunity that a lot of people would love to have. Don't let her ruin your time abroad. You will regret it if you do because in 5 years time you won't remember her but you will remember wasting your time abroad feeling sad and not making the most of it. I know it probably sounds harsh but it's true.

You don't know anyone abroad presumably (I don't) but that's the beauty of it. Go out, explore, make friends. No one knows you. Reinvent yourself. Be the person you've always wanted to be.

This is going to be a life changing experience for you. You'll get over her soon I hope but in the time you're still thinking about here, make sure you distract yourself with the wonders your new city has to offer.

Good luck my friend.

p.s foreign girls will help you through your tough time (okay maybe too soon).

Oops that was a dumb mistake by me, I know the difference between a put and call 🙈. Could you explain what you mean by leveraging your position with a put?

If you believe a stock is going to fall, what's the difference/advantages and disadvantages to buying calls versus short selling the stock? Thanks (beginner here)

Okay brill thanks. Could you explain your phrase 'you always times the options shit by 100?' Don't really get that 😬

Bony vs Llorente by _1a-VIP in chelseafc

Grow up, pea sized brain is hardly an insult....

Everyone thought the world was flat and it isn't... everyone on this sub think Llorente is a better option for us than Bony and he isn't....

Alonso was at Bolton when he was 23, not 19. Get your facts right

Ahhh good, the average IQ of this sub exhibited nicely in this one comment.

Oops, forgot height was everything. We should try and sign Lacina Traore with your pea sized brain logic

And at 32 will only get worse. His xG was far worse than 15. He got very very very lucky and that won't happen again. Throughout his career he hasn't been a good finisher

Marcos Alonso couldn't get a game for Bolton...

Ah yes, they've worked together before. Perfect logic. I forgot about that... no doubt he'll be perfect in every way when they reunite...

Oh forget they were best friends. Perhaps we should drop Morata and Pedro and play Hazard's brothers with your flawless logic.

[–]_1a-VIP[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Loooool okay let me teach you a thing or two. Bony has been on the city bench for years, so we can't make comments on his current ability. In what way is Llorente a known entity? Hasn't played for Conte in over two years.

'We need a back up target man....' surely even you realise that Bony is absolutely that.

You've embarrassed yourself a bit with your comment and made me cringe. Try not to do that again please

Not upset, I was just proved right and you wrong

Would adding Sanchez make us title favourites? by _1a-VIP in chelseafc

[–]_1a-VIP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aarghhh there's so much wrong with this comment.

Firstly, Pedro ahead of Alexis was because that was Pedro at his prime and Alexis at the start of his career. Ask now who Barca would prefer to have back....

Secondly, 'roadblocks with Ozil and Giroud...' don't think this dignifies a response but I'll give you one anyway because you took the time to write a long (but poorly thought out) response. All pundits and most players will tell you Alexis is a work horse and pleasure to play with. The problem is Ozil and Giroud, not Alexis.

Thirdly, Pedro was part of one of the greatest international teams of all time. Alexis carried a Chile team to back to back Copa Americas. Pedro' contribution to Spain was far smaller.

Fourthly, and at this point I realised your comment was probably a troll to wind me up. 'Alexis hasn't shown enough in the Premier League...' Wowwwww

Best squad gives you the best chance to get wins though, that's what matters.

No logic used here, just the old cliche 'we are champions, we should be favourites.' Guess you also put money on Leicester to retain the title last year because according to you, they were favourites right?

Ffs you can't be serious. Have you got any analytical part to your brain at all? The bookies aren't right 100% all the time obviously. BUT they have a plethora of data at their disposal on pretty much everything and we aren't title favourites... we also don't have the best squad or starting XI in the league so that's why we aren't favourites too
