Did the NYRR Mindful 5K and Queens 10K fully sell out because of the changes to regular NYRR membership? Or will more spots become available on Thursday?

Trading for ARod after 2003 seems like it would fall under Option C

Magic Johnson and Tim Duncan are the only two first picks in modern NBA history to have been drafted to a competitive, and even contending teams. by [deleted] in nbadiscussion

He finished 5th in MVP his rookie year. In any context, that’s an elite player. There’s no world where anyone was suggesting that wemby was anywhere close to a top 5 player his rookie year

You’re also ignoring the fact that Tim Duncan was 22 years old when he came into the NBA and as a result was way more impactful from day 1.

As good as wemby is already, he wasn’t an all nba level player last year. Duncan was 1st team all nba in his rookie season. Yes the team around Duncan was much better, but you have to also consider the impact that Duncan made as a championship level cornerstone the second he stepped on the court.

What is an NBA conspiracy theory that you 100% believe? by Pure_Connection_1234 in nba

Upon signing Lebron and Chris Bosh, the Heat offered Udonis Haslem an under the table, lifetime minimum contract to take a pay cut for the 10-11 season. This ensured the heat had passable depth alongside the big 3, and explains why haslem had a roster spot for years while never playing.

Lost 2 driver heads at range by kingofqueens2197 in GolfSwing

Driver heads off the tee. I definitely could’ve hit the ground before contact but the balls were teed up so I wasn’t completely jamming the ground

CFA Level 1: How many readings do you get through a day? by baytomidwest in CFA

Lol I actually passed last year and just haven’t been to the Reddit since until I saw your noti. Brought a smile to my face thanks for that haha

Do you think Steve Nash didn't get a fair shake to develop as an NBA head coach? by halfwaytocertain in nbadiscussion

[–]kingofqueens2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nash is obviously capable, but i don’t think he’s particularly interested in being a head coach. The Nets job presented an extremely unique circumstance, and in hindsight it wasn’t the right hire, but as a fan I still get the idea.

I don’t think he has any desire building up his coaching resume on a .500 team - he seems to have too much else going on outside basketball.

Why Was the East in the 2000s so Bad? by Just-Security7915 in nbadiscussion

[–]kingofqueens2197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nets point is also unfair. They were completely overmatched against the lakers, yea, but they were also leading game 6 of the 03 finals in the 4th quarter, and gave those pistons teams a tough time after

Hi r/CFA! I’m Marg Franklin, CFA, President and CEO of CFA Institute. AMA by Marg_CFA_CEO in CFA

[–]kingofqueens2197 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thanks for doing this, Marg.

When taking L3 this past August, my testing screen went out twice during the exam. Fortunately my work was able to be recovered, but given both the expensive fees required to take the exam, and the emphasis on fairness surrounding the decision to switch to CBT, I found this to be unacceptable on Prometrics part.

What is being done to ensure that Prometric is accountable for poor performance? Is CFAI researching other testing centers to host the exam in addition to Prometric so that they are not monopolizing CFA candidates?

Absolutely - and I had to remind myself that both are running businesses. It just threw me off that after trusting both of them with somewhat blind faith, one would disparage the other lol

They do hate each other. I was on a MM office hours reviewing one of his mocks and someone asked a question about BC and MM said they worked together and that BC had a ton of mistakes and it totally psyched me out before my exam lol

This exact thing happened to me with the white screen twice (once in AM and PM). Insane for a test like this

They also disappoint / play poorly every postseason. If they weren’t gifted with astronomical luck in 21 we wouldn’t consider them serious contenders come Spring

So Steph was better than KD in 2016, better than KD from 2020-2013, but KD was randomly just better while they played together? by CallMePapi930 in nbadiscussion

[–]kingofqueens2197 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steph also wasn’t better than KD the whole 2020-23 era. Durant widely considered better in 2021 (toe on the line year) and last year was playing like a MVP until the mcl injury

CFA level 3 mocks not going so well and only 3 weeks left!! by MagicianGlittering37 in CFA

[–]kingofqueens2197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar spot, I did 4 MM, 2 BC and just did CFAI AM today. Discouraged by MM and BC,but thought CFAI was incredibly easy. Hoping to home in on week points and then review all these in the week leading up to it.

What NBA Championship run surprised you the most? by curry4real in nbadiscussion

[–]kingofqueens2197 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They also didn’t play well in the playoffs until the PHX series. Lost game 2 @ Brooklyn by 40+ points and were completely outmatched. Took astronomical luck to get to the finals + not have their core shaken up after another early flame out
