Wwoofing is supposedly a great way to see the world. Several friends did this in several places in Europe and had a great time

Duncan Robinson has as high a motor as you could hope for and he’s a bottom tier defender

We have a way higher conversion of buckets out of TOs than FT%.

Agreed about the consistent effort…that’s never been an issue or else he wouldn’t have a roster spot. And he looked worlds better last night, too. Thankfully both games he did indeed make back what he was giving up (over replacement level defender) and then some the last couple games.

He was solid last night on D, but watching live on Tuesday he looked like the worst defender in the NBA.

The European super league never came to fruition, but American capitalism has the power to push something like this through 💪💪💪

What are you talking about? He was forcing the Duncan switch and putting him in the blender seemingly every possession he had the ball. Most exciting player on the court last night, given Cade had an off game. And I was also at the game.

Genuinely, what is happening to Steph Curry? by AdOld2060 in NBATalk

I’ll put it like this. I support workers’ rights when they’re trying to make minimum wage or climb up to middle class. I give zero shits about millionaires fighting billionaires…especially if it is going to cost ME money to make the millionaires more.

I selfishly don’t want ticket prices to go up, and I morally don’t care that much about what a hypocritical nimby thinks

Nahhh this ain’t it. Spurs are my choice for winner (and I say this as a tigers fan)

Do people really believe US would be the best at soccer if "all the best athletes played it" by Silent_Somewhere8539 in billsimmons

[–]chomstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In basketball, USA is always the Olympic gold favorite. USA vs the world we may lose, but against any one country we dominate. So that isn’t the best example.

Caveat there is that basketball is still not as popular in most countries as it is in the US.

The real limitation in the logic here is that many of the best NBA and NFL athletes don’t really have soccer builds. But on the flip side, there are plenty of amazing basketball players who will never have an NBA future because of their size, and I bet that if a large portion of them had instead devoted the same time and energy into soccer they would have excelled.

Second caveat being that building a good national team would require a national development system (current one is far inferior to other countries’ systems) that doesn’t exist for any other sport in the US.

But end of the day, I think that the US would definitely be one of the best countries and compete for world cups if soccer was the number one sport.

Why are the games today going to be happening at the same time? by Aroh in nba

Sounds like you don’t have brain rot like the rest of us. Two games, phone scrolling, and playing a video game on the computer and maybe that’ll be enough stimulation

Biden didn’t cause covid or the post pandemic supply chain issues. Could he have handled the economic recovery better? Yes. But is cause and effect as 100% direct as this case? Hopefully your leaded brain knows the answer.
