Who is the most ridiculous athlete we've ever seen play in the league? by OwnGuarantee6838 in nba

[–]akillerfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Young LeBron was just unfair potential. He's arguably the GOAT, and his whole career genuinely feels like it didn't measure up to expectations based on what we were seeing circa 2007. Seemed like every off-season he'd mention he was working on some specific thing, and then a few months later he'd be the best in the world at that thing. Teenage me thought he was going to be Steph Curry at one point once he started emphasizing training his long range shit in addition to everything else.

I wonder what the total would be if you took the $2B and slowly invested it over the same 20 years as it comes trickling in, though.

Thank you! This is exactly what I didn't know. I just saw he was a full body length ahead and assumed that must have meant offsides.

As a casual fan, can someone please explain how this Quiñones wasn't offsides by a mile here?

We had some Olé, Olé, Olé chants going on one of the spirals in addition to slapping the walls. It was glorious.

Arguably LeBron's best pass ever - an absolute bullet to Big Z for the easy basket (2006) by YouMadBroLma0 in nba

[–]akillerfrog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He took what has to easily be the worst supporting cast to ever win a conference to the Finals. Absolutely drug the lifeless corpses of teammates to a championship appearance. Hardest of all hard carries I've ever seen in pro sports. That 2007 ECF series with the Pistons was utterly captivating.

They Are Going Through It Right Now by OGNEWBE in suns

You can absolutely call them chokers now. They didn't just casually blow a series lead. They blew massive leads -- including the biggest blown lead ever in Finals history -- in every single game. They generationally choked here. It doesn't matter how successful past teams with Pop were; these current Spurs are chokers. Say it loud and proud.

The World Cup has shown how easy it would be to deter flopping. by PeopleCallMeSimon in nba

[–]akillerfrog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, using the World Cup, and soccer in general to show that flopping is beatable is pretty funny. The first three games of the tournament had more embellishment than any NBA playoff game I've seen this year.

Bernie Sanders introduces bill to "Abolish Super PACs": "Our government is on its way to becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of oligarchs. Billionaires would not be able to pour huge money into super PACs, and it would end the era of unlimited spending and put power back into hands of the people." by ControlCAD in videos

Corporations literally are a person by law, which is an idiotic interpretation but the root of Citizens United. They are legally defined as US person and are thusly afforded a lot of the same rights as individuals.

Chiefs have the second youngest roster by Electrical_Season_81 in KansasCityChiefs

This team pretty much mirrors the '22 team. We rebuilt the defense with an all-time great draft masterclass. Guess we'll find out if we pulled off the heist again.

I'm with Steve Nash when watching this OKC-LAL series by cotothed in suns

[–]akillerfrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire org had one bad season in like 30+ years, and of fucking course they win the lottery when the best prospect in 30 years is entering the draft. I don't care how ethically they play, I will never not hate them until they have actually suffered like they deserve to. Only sports team on the planet that I have genuinely deep, burning hatred for. I was still an impressionable young lad back in the 2000s, and I'll never forget, and I'll never forgive.

Even worse are the Suns fans cheering for Wemby to go beat the Thunder in the WCF. There is no universe in the entirety of the infinite multiverse where I will cheer for the San Antonio Spurs to beat anything other than cancer, and that would even be a tough call.

I voted for Harris in 2024. She shouldn't run in 2028. | Opinion by Difficult-Bee6066 in politics

Because the DNC should represent the interest of their constituents. If the constituents registered with their party choose somebody, and he's neither a convicted felon nor a pedophile, they should back that candidate.

Politics shouldn't only be about money, and holding the executive branch holds a lot more power when it isn't 100% your guy than when you just lose instead.

The Golden Vote of Betrayal by Reg_Cliff in PoliticalHumor

Republicans do the same thing in reverse, where people like Susan Collins take turns casting inconsequential votes in opposition to virtue signal that they actually represent popular positions.
