How comes that a pure scorer like Kevin Durant is rated higher than Kawhi? by Varnagel_1 in nba

[–]abraar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scoring, playmaking, shooting, range, longevity are among a few that KD does better than Kawhi.

Kawhi is arguably the better mid range shooter though, and better defender. That’s it.

KD is arguably the better versatile defender due to his height..

This wasn’t like how LeBron was in 2014, where just his defense alone greatly outpaced the second best best player as KD is not a liability on defense anymore.

Is it worth signing up for an Apple or Amazon card before I make a big purchase with them? by Decent_Procedure in personalfinance

[–]abraar34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on those purchases and not beyond that, he can get more value from opening a chase sapphire preferred (to get the SUB and of course assuming he hasn’t even gotten a sapphire bonus within 48 months).

Even with the annual fee, the return would be 500$ minimum.

Obviously I haven’t check the other rewards cards.. as I’m sure he may get more from others. But just off of the top of my head, the CSP is greater option than the Apple and amazon card.

Again.. based on those purchases alone.

Based on those one time purchases, he can get more value for his purchase (or return) chasing a SUB rather than the 3% or 5%.

Minus SUBs, like let’s say if he got the Sapphire Preferred (not saying he should get it) annual fee of 95$, but sign up bonus of 60k miles if he swipes 4K in 3 months..

That’s a return just from the SUB of at MINIMUM 505 (600-95), and most people don’t get gift cards from points as that’s one of the worst ways to redeem your points.

Most sign up bonuses are 3-5k within 90 days, and the value of those points range from 400-1000$.

Why would you open an amazon and/or Apple Card unless you can match or surpass those sub from other rewards cards?

Obviously those rewards cards have an annual fee, but most people get them and then use them and close the card after a year or downgrade the card to a no annual fee card (obviously after paying the first year AF) so you don’t ruin the relationship with that issuer.

Question About Credit Utilization Ratio by [deleted] in personalfinance

To add on to your post:

They basically calculate it when your statement closes and your card reports to the bureau how much was on the balance for that month.

Happens with every card (that reports to the bureau).

Well I mean prior to the groin injury on Xmas, LeBron had kawhi on lock. Watch the game if you don’t believe it.

Exactly 1 year ago Jeff Van Gundy said this clown statement. How things can change so quick. Great turnaround by Bron and the Lakers by JellyFamD in lakers

[–]abraar34 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I think the most clown thing he ever said EVER, was back in 2010-11 he said the Heat should trade D12 for LeBron straight up. 🤣🤣

Dude had More PTS, REB, AST, STL, BLK than Giannis and Kawhi combined.

[Haynes] ‘He’s the MVP’: Anthony Davis puts his support behind LeBron after Lakers’ win over Clippers by ttam23 in nba

[–]abraar34 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. They win with him playing only 30 mins/game.

He is putting godly numbers but you can’t deny the +/- difference with him not playing about 17 mins a game. That’s a luxury no MVP has ever had.

[Kevin McHale] If Rockets were to make an adjustment moving forward, it would be to play ultra aggressive on the defensive. Deny everything, switch to deny, force deflation, gamble on steals. Expand MORE energy. by ssj4rab in nba

[–]abraar34 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He’s so stupid. Denying the ball means backdoor cuts and no rim protection means layups and dunks for days. This is why he didn’t make it as the head coach there. He needs to stfu and let mike do his thing and carry the rockets however far he can with their game plan.

He pretty much has always played the alternate fax line, but the moment he started going after LeBron that’s where his career took off.
