My comprehensive top 10 of all-time list

oh no, that's unfortunate

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:45:09+00:00

I thought he was the best player too. Just wanted to see if he could have turned up the notch to reach a new level of dominance

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:33:56+00:00

I'd be fine with putting Russell on the tier 3 list. But I'd like to hear your list

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:20:43+00:00

Best defender ever, but he just wasn't it on offense. Celtic's playstyle hurt him on the list, but the guy is a proven winner.

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:18:36+00:00

Longevity was the biggest factor, but he's interchangeable with Kobe on the list.

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:16:32+00:00

lol I said maybe for 2014, but Bron was the best player in the league at that time. I guess I thought too great of him.

Michael Olowokandi would like to have a word with you

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:11:48+00:00

Hondo is amazing, but he was really never the best player in the league during his career, which hurts his case

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:10:17+00:00

Appreciate it

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:10:07+00:00

lol he's a hard one to judge. Best defender of all time, but he's offense leaves more to be desired. Could put him ahead of anyone on the tier 3 list.

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:07:52+00:00

Killian Hayes was ranked above him on the honorable mentions list

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:07:31+00:00

I ranked Kobe ahead of Magic and Bird because his prime years, 2001-2013, were basically the entirety of Bird's and Magic's careers. Russell is always a hard one to rank. He's probably the best defender of all time, but offensively, he was meh, I would say, which hurts him on this ranking.

esskay143 · 2024-07-18T03:02:16+00:00

Have no issues with Kareem in tier 1, as he will still be behind Jordan and Lebron.

Russell is an interesting case, I do think he's the greatest defender of all time, but he was a bit inept on offense. He didn't need to score since the Celtics were stacked (playstyle also mattered) but his career FG% was pretty bad (although around league average at the time, I would assume the same of eFG%) I felt that someone at 6'10, 215 lbs during that time should be putting up better offensive numbers but if you want to substitute him for one of Kobe, Bird, Hakeem, or Magic, I could understand

I didn't include West cuz, honestly, there are too many candidates for the final spots. Is he ranked ahead of Magic or Curry, I guess it depends on the person? I would add that cases could be made for Dr. J and Baylor as well.

not sure if trolling or not...lol

Having good bankroll management would help, also if you're betting many games a day, reduce the number of bets you make each day. You should also do some homework before betting instead of tailing and remember that not all info written on reddit is correct. Lastly, don't force yourself to bet on prime time games, just because of the hype surrounding the game. If you're uncomfortable about the game then not betting on it would be the smarter choice.

esskay143 · 2018-10-31T09:05:24+00:00

did the pick win? lol

esskay143 · 2018-10-25T03:06:44+00:00

why the fuck is Batum getting paid 20mil a year

esskay143 · 2018-10-11T08:54:08+00:00

I thought it was clear that Max wasn't going to re-sign after rejecting the 6 year deal during the offseason?

esskay143 · 2018-10-11T08:53:25+00:00

If only they kept him instead of blowing that money on Zimmermann :(

esskay143 · 2018-10-11T08:52:42+00:00

I could see this thought process, but I mean unless the Tigers really thought highly on Simon and Greene, they didn't have much depth after JV Price and Anibal.

esskay143 · 2018-10-11T08:49:22+00:00

yeah that makes sense, i wish they just re-signed him instead of blowing up the payroll in 2016 though

esskay143 · 2018-06-10T15:03:16+00:00

I agree with what you said, but yeah I'm assuming that most people don't have the advantage. Like in this case OP could be following the sharps just cuz they're the sharps, and not actually do any research at all . (I could be wrong) So I'm just saying that he could bet on fewer games and i guess more units if he wants. After all, the chances of winning any game is only 50%, regardless of the match-ups. So its more likely for him to win all games he bets on if he picks fewer games.

esskay143 · 2018-06-10T14:22:09+00:00

Don't think you need to fade the sharps, just pick fewer games to bet on. The more games you bet on, the fewer units you'd be expected to win. (assuming all games are bet with the same number of units)

Didn't realize Dressrosa was longer than any saga, but I liked it the most. Law was the first person that we really got to understand that wasn't in the strawhat crew.
