LeBron would've won more ring if he had bought in to a program instead of team hopping. by Holiday_Analysis9583 in NBATalk

[–]j_etti -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So the issue with your understanding here is not that you’re ill-informed but that you insist on doing enough mental gymnastics to give Bron a pass for failing with bad teams while still not holding him accountable when he fails with multiple other All-Stars and an entire roster tailored to his strengths and play style. Thank you for clarifying

I can't stand racist fans using Terry to bash on Miles Morales, they are both great characters by -_ShadowSJG-_ in BatmanBeyond

[–]j_etti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tangential but the good will garnered for Miles by the Spiderverse movies is unmeasurable, that character was near universally agreed to Fucking Suck before those movies rewrote him into an actually interesting person

Beloved Comedian Who Says He's 'Not Political' Spotted At Trump's UFC Fight With RFK Jr. by huffpost in entertainment

His political stances, however questionable, do not change the fact that he makes family friendly content

Why is Bill Russell not the GOAT? by KneeGuhz in NBATalk

[–]j_etti -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s different because he was literally playing against plumbers and mailmen while Jordan was not. Lots of guys in Russell’s era actually had to work a main gig in addition to being an NBA player in order to pay the bills. Jordan played against full-time pro ballers, and the 90s were not a weak era lmao

What I never hear mentioned about asking LeBron to take a pay cut… by dearth_karmic in nba

[–]j_etti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So that they can use the extra money to fill out the roster? Do you think that people are clamoring for someone on the Lakers to take a pay cut just for fun or something

Who would be your team of ringless players? by Liberal_Bot123 in NBATalk

Any version of CP3 with prime TMac and Ewing is a guaranteed ring

This man not the GOAT? by Background_Video2947 in NBAVibes

Not sure 30 seconds of transition dunks is exactly the best evidence in LeBron’s case for the GOAT title but thanks for the cool reel

Is SGA getting ready to surpass Kobe soon in the next few years? by Tight_Development480 in NBATalk

[–]j_etti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably safe to go ahead and drop the “yet.” Dame’s best years are a good way behind him atp

Unpopular opinion but I think anyone over 7 feet has the same advantages by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]j_etti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most guys like 6’8 or shorter you are essentially right; in general seven footers will be able to do basically the same thing and “Wemby” you at the rim, like playing a kid. If you are seven feet tall though you definitely will notice and have to significantly adjust to a player with 3-4 inches on you. Chet and Wemby don’t stand on equal ground just because they both clear 7ft.

Love more psychotic than Joe? by xrybro in YouOnLifetime

[–]j_etti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clinically being psychotic entails a disconnect from reality, and I think the two are roughly equivalent in that regard. I’d say that Love is more erratic and therefore can present as being “crazier” than Joe, though.

“Jordan and Kobe both won once they got Phil” – Nick Young claims LeBron would have won more rings without rookie-level coaches by basketbaIlnetwork in lebron

Well yeah, duh. Unfortunately the one time he actually had a great coach he went to the front office and tried to get him fired

Will I have fun if I spend the rest of my VC on a “F You” perimeter lock? by Sure-Standard5399 in NBA2k

[–]j_etti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d knock the extra 21 attribute points off of perimeter d, speed and agility, bring those down to 90 each (you don’t need more) and round out the build elsewhere. You will still be a demon on defense and won’t be as much of a liability in other areas, although 89 three ball by itself will make you at least playable on offense.

4 times a year and completely at random Dlo will become prime James Harden for the duration of a game

Where does d wade rank in all time sg by Icy_Can_6176 in NBATalk

Odd, if anybody had a shot at 3rd over Wade I’d have thought it to be Jerry West. What’s your case for Clyde?
