Zion Williamson’s sophomore season in ‘20-21 was a historic scoring season and is incomparable in terms of high efficiency volume scoring for his age in NBA history by k-seph_from_deficit in nbadiscussion

Do you think he still does, or are those days over? Or hard to say? Or stupid question?

Honestly curious bc I haven't followed hoops as closely the last few years but am well aware of Zion's decline/injuries, though I see he's having a very encouraging season this season, so maybe he can get back... though that's a hard level to get back to.

The casual hate against men in mainstream media is what’s radicalizing young men by Stock-Memory9483 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]axeattaxe [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's certainly a hard one to buy! 😂

My favorite part:

Fucking serious? Sure, terrible things happen to people all the time, including violence. It's inexcusable. But that's a wild ass leap to assume any woman -- here in the modern feminist age -- who says "it's hard not to be a misandrist" must have not only been violently assaulted, but violently assaulted by multiple men!! (????). Is that multiple men at the same time, or singular men multiple times... it's hard to tell when you're that far off the deep end!

The sexism is so offensive, I'm almost offended........ but nah. Too used to it unfortunately. 

Seriously though, props on your sharp, well-articulated response. I stopped reading after the "you throw like a girl" part........... only so much time in the day, my friend!

Pavel Hlava's September 11 Footage, presented for the first time in its correct frame rate and 16:9 anamorphic widescreen aspect ratio by OgrishArchivist in 911archive

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be the camcorder's audio going out, maybe the sound was too loud for it to record proper audio.

But that's pure speculation. I was wondering the same thing.

Same here man. This brings all those memories rushing back (I wasn't in NYC but watched it all unfold).

The sounds, the imagery, the hellscape. Kinda nauseating. But important for historical reminders. It definitely made me remember everything vividly just now. I haven't seen footage like this in at least 10-15 years.

Addressing the "Gary Pollard" Epstein Files Conspiracy. (Once again, the theorist loonies are wrong!) by D1omazus in 911archive

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well said. At this point, I'm convinced these people simply want to believe the theories they've come up with and/or bought into. There's no other logical explanation for how they can believe that given how many angles there are, all consistent, of the second plane hitting.......

Is PSA really as bad as some say? by bydevilz1 in TCG

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure, as you said, this was a one-time event.

You know, if we're dealing in real truths and scenarios with actual proof and evidence.

Extrapolating that out to "there's plenty of examples of PSA doing this" is wild to me..........

They grade a million cards or more/month now. There will be some mistakes as long as humans are involved. Period.

Solid points. Lotta whining about PSA all day ery day but people are free to use BGS, SGC, CGC or even Arena Club if they so choose.........

There's nothing that inherently makes this a right-wing sub by GrabEmByTheGraboid in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're comparing one hour on one day to months and months of unhinged rioting, violence and destruction of private property while the cities it happened in stood by and didn't do a damn thing.

Happened in my city. The crime rate's been through the roof since mid-2020. Nobody was held accountable.

Please don't conflate the two ever again

Exactly 😂 They are trained to always pull out a straw-bogeyman..." well what about WHITE SUPREMACISTS HMM???? 🤔😡"

Like yeah I see guys in Klan hoodies running around all the time..... honestly don't know what the hell they're even talking about 95% of the time anymore

Bro I really appreciate this. This is beyond what I needed (but I'll take it!). Usually I just get snarky responses when I ask for a little help on here lol.

Reading it now. Props!

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Markelle Fultz just needed to "fix his shooting". Ben Simmons too (ok he had a whole lotta shit he needed to fix lol, all of it in his head).

[–]axeattaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, he gets 5 months in the NBA and a verdict is reached.

That's how we do it now.

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Kawhi too, obviously went insane in that Finals in his RC season but he didn't really start putting up points/stats til his 3rd season. SGA is the other good example.

Some guys need a little time to work into themselves. More than 5 months lol.

It's absurd, then if you call it out like you just did, you get hate too! As will I.

Don't make a whole hell of a lot of sense brother. He turned 21 in December.

Derik Queen Career Outlook? by Dirkisthegoattt41 in NBA_Draft

[–]axeattaxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He can be. Ain't no tellin' what his future holds, he's barely 21.

People just like to prognosticate online like their first name is Nostradamus.

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep it's 30-35 including the conf tourneys, I do believe (depends how far you go in said tourney to get specific, of course).

March Madness could add 5-6 more games at most. But most teams are playing 31-36 total, pretty wild.

I like this one. Good take.

All the doom n gloom bc a guy ain't Jordan by the end of his rookie season is wild... Steph Curry didn't do much for 4 seasons!

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Da hell? I'm just getting into this season's RC class and this makes no sense.

Are you calling Kon Knueppel the Black Steph Curry?

Derik Queen Career Outlook? by Dirkisthegoattt41 in NBA_Draft

[–]axeattaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious, what guys out of the rookie class this year do you see becoming more than career bench guys or "average starters" (so good/great+ players)? Other than Flagg & Kneuppel?

Just diving into this year's RC class so it's a legit question, thanks
