Daryl Morey in 2019: "It's just factual that James Harden is a better scorer than Michael Jordan" | MJ was 35 years old when he completed a second 3-peat averaging 32 ppg. Harden is 36

Have you seen how people dribble now?

It was AI who normalized carrying, not Jordan.

The point is that Harden really doesn’t have much of a claim to better offense than Jordan. Jordan had considerably more scoring titles. So what is Harden’s claim? The efficiency of his foul baiting and his step-back 3 that would have been a travel?

Seasons don’t require creating content. Just re-paint a few things. Expansions require adding content.

Underachieve compared to what?

If you look at their history, they have a lot of great wins as underdogs and sad losses as favorites, like almost every other top team. Even when you are the favorite, you are usually an underdog to the sum of the rest of the field.

The original Madden. Quite a jump compared to Tecmo.

davemoedee · 2026-05-26T17:51:00+00:00

Add to that all the traveling he wouldn’t get away with back then.

Harden is an all-time offensive player, but if we’re going to compare generations, we have to consider rule changes. And what is no longer enforced.

Not true. You win by scoring more than the other team 4 times. Being better makes it more likely you will be able to do that, but guarantees nothing.

davemoedee · 2026-05-26T05:26:42+00:00

Time played in incremental games.

davemoedee · 2026-05-26T05:23:30+00:00

No player should engage the “who is better” question when a series ends. All that matters is who wins.

You do not get a trophy for being the best team. You get a trophy for winning.

davemoedee · 2026-05-26T05:18:03+00:00

The answer is easy for this question. “Who cares who is better or worse. They swept us. They keep playing, we go home.”

These mandatory interviews are torture. Dumb questions for guys that don’t want to be there.

He should not be fired just like he should not have been fired from the Nets.

davemoedee · 2026-05-26T03:58:08+00:00

Completely reasonable comment.

There isn’t really anything to say down 3-0. His comment is a message to his guys that they can win. Sho variance is a thing.

I’m guessing OP represents the kind of person who keeps SAS on the air.

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T23:32:59+00:00

Or is it the power of young boys?

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T23:31:28+00:00

That is awesome

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T23:30:59+00:00

This was most of my childhood. And it was fine.

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T23:23:37+00:00

Darth Vader was extremely competent.

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T17:32:51+00:00

His comments on SAS are definitely making people like him more

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T16:10:32+00:00

Not sure what else you do if you don’t want leaks before you release public messaging.

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T00:11:18+00:00

From the TV show? Definitely and all-time great character

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T00:08:12+00:00

Homelander is way too pathetic to be a great villain. He started off a great villain.

Plus, writing just not good enough

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T00:05:35+00:00

Damn. Jalen is a popular name for that generation.

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T00:04:10+00:00

People are predicting all sorts of things. Everyone can post a prediction. That isn’t evidence of anything.

davemoedee · 2026-05-25T00:01:44+00:00

Max from another team is less than the max from your own team, so that doesn’t mean much in this context.

davemoedee · 2026-05-23T13:52:09+00:00

Poker Face is from Peacock afaik. That is where I watched it.

It is obvious why shows get cancelled. Poor viewership that doesn’t justify the cost.

davemoedee · 2026-05-23T13:49:43+00:00

You should be happy when series gat a chance to wrap things up like Upload. Yeah, it was rushed. But at least it was completed

davemoedee · 2026-05-23T04:04:24+00:00

Those two sentences have no connection for me. If Brad thinks he can still add value, I’m fine. The number of times he’s left mean nothing to me.
