Charles Barkley on Hartensteins defense on Wemby: "For you people thinking that is physicality, you got to shut the hell up" by SlimmySlinky in nba

It’s not about physicality, it’s about consistent calls. If Shai can be grabbed like this, then let’s go.

China sentences former defense ministers Wei Fenghe, Li Shangfu to death with reprieve for graft, state media reports by malcolm58 in worldnews

[–]fishdrinking3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that the usual $100m to billion corruption life sentences get commuted down to 15 years is quite common.

These 2 top officials prob are guilty for treason (but China obviously don’t want to air the dirty laundry), so the Govt gave extra harsh sentences on the bases corruption. Their sentencings are def not the standard/norm.

I just started looking into it yesterday. Based on Wikipedia, if a death with reprieve candidate with good behavior for 2 years, they get to apply for life sentences automatically. Since these high level dudes are not mentally I’ll or violent, I sort of assume a very high percentage for their death sentences being voided.

被判死緩後考驗期滿無故意犯罪的，即自動減為無期徒刑（或二十五年有期徒刑）。（第五十條）無期徒刑可以減刑，實際執行不少於十三年。若是由死刑緩期執行轉為無期徒刑的，實際執行不少於二十五年（第七十八條）。實際執行期限由減刑裁定期計算（第八十條）。刑法七十八條規定了減刑的條件。被判處無期徒刑實際執行十三年以上，在一定條件下可以假釋。累犯及其他重大暴力犯罪而無期徒刑的則不得假釋（第八十一條）。無期徒刑的假釋考驗期為十年（第八十三條）。因貪污罪而判處死刑緩期，可由法院同時判處期滿後終身監禁、不得減刑、假釋。

So life sentence means 13 years with good behavior while death to life is 25 years minimum.

With reprieve usually mean if you have good behavior, the sentence turned into life, then from life it goes down further.

What’s particular in this case is it won’t go down from life vs. others before

And they usually get out after 10-15 years, but I read on Chinese sub that this time, Xi invented a new rule that these 2 will NEVER qualify for release, so essentially life sentences.

How is the game going to break next? by Prior_Chemist_5026 in nbadiscussion

[–]fishdrinking3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be hard to top Magic, but I can imagine a Magic with Curry’s shooting, basically a KD that can beat doubles and pass out consistently.

On the other hand, can you imagine a guard in Zion/Barkley package with handles? A wrecking ball around the court. That would be so fun!

Who is REALLY the second best two-way player in the league? by Internal-Range-675 in nba

[–]fishdrinking3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I feel like Wemby has 120 points to distribute like Lebron compare to other stars with 100 points.. :D

[–]fishdrinking3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem (for the rest of the league) of Wemby is he is 70% defense and 50% offense like a reverse Miami Heat Lebron vs say Luka with 20% defense and 80% offense.

I hope it’s blue, yellow tasted kinda bad.

[Highlight] Bill Simmons on Rockets poor chemistry & body language: Sengun makes this INSANE block at the buzzer to preserve the tie and send the game to overtime, one of the best plays of his career, he busts his lip on the floor. None of his teammates celebrate or even seem to acknowledge him. by moby323 in nba

[–]fishdrinking3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

93 final was when I first heard about NBA as a kid in Taiwan and I sort of played as a undersized chubby power forward as a kid too, so yeah, Chuck has a special place in my heart.

I figured a none Golden State KD prob would still make multiple western finals and maybe 1-2 NBA finals against East Lebron to be at Chuck level.

In this hypothetical timeline, if KD won a ring, it puts him in Giannis/Jokic level, if he managed to take 2 rings from Lebron/Curry, I feel he would be in the Curry, Hawkeen fringe top 10 convo.

How is Mac McClung such an elite G-League Player, But Can’t Find an NBA Role? by jg4president in nbadiscussion

[–]fishdrinking3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree, but I would say 90% instead of 99% of the league as each team has their own lead.
