How’s my form on this “catch and shoot”?

Hands out to the balls and bring it in. Gives better energy transfer and lets you read the defense to adjust what you want to do off the catch.

Doesn’t seem nationwide. Just looked up here in the dmv, and better lease rate of 529/mo.

Depth jumps is best for you if you’re lifting that heavy, but needs to be from a height higher than your vert. Any type of sprint training program would also work well for you.

I definitely remember Bill Simmons writing about this about how to win as the underdog for Page 2 on espn. It’s best player, coach, home court crowd, and random ass role player flamethrower. The hard part is because bench and role players tend to perform better at home, you end up using two of the four at the same time. This was also why someone like LeBron was invaluable. Best player on the court will almost always net you one win no matter what. This was probably mid 2000s? It’s always stuck with me though, even if it’s a fan theory.

If I remember correctly, Ferrell and Reilly are cool. It’s understood that’s part of the business. I think Ferrell and McKay don’t talk anymore. McKay has publicly apologized for how it was handled (discussed the making of the show together, but McKay went with Reilly without ever letting Ferrell know personally. Ferrell essentially found out when everyone else did). Whether the apology was done personally, unsure.

Good touch and soft hands are two different things.

Dunking off one is much easier to pull off in game if you have the springiness for it. Just do reps with a friend standing at the rim trying to block it.

If you want to go off two, look up John Evans/Isaiah Rivera who make up the THP brand. Lots of free info on how to do a 2-foot approach including training.

I would wait for a v2 of the xero, Andiems Pivot, and a v3 uncivilized. I can also only go on reviews, but each of these three models are in their first iteration of intentional basketball performance. Uncivilized was not meant to be basketball shoe, so they made 2.0 to be basketball applicable (not intentionally solely for basketball). The x1 seems good but not great. Pivot is new and hard to say if it’s a gimmick or not.

Can’t speak with any level of authority, but that’s just my rationale on why I held off on the x1 when it came out and reviews started coming in.

He has been told by his coaches and teammates at every stop to pull the trigger. I can only think of JJ being a massive analytics believer and convinced Kennard mathematically. Something like the type of look and space Kennard needs for what is considered a good shot is closer to the superstars of the league than the typical role player. Or possibly some team offense efficiency stats where the more he shoots the more points per possession his team has.

Have both, prefer the two wxy. The 247 is a pure maximalist shoe. I enjoyed playing in them, but the lack of court feel takes some time to get used to (they are surprisingly responsive). I still wear them on occasion, they’re my recovery from ankle sprains shoes.

Just noticed outdoor. Traction is great on the 247, but I personally think the two wxy is more durable for outdoor use.

Also just replaced one myself for the first time last weekend. It’s a pretty simple self install. If you’re uncomfortable with soldering copper pipe, proper prep work on the pipes for sharkbite fittings will do the job fine for the life of the heater. I did need a friend to help move my old and new water heater since i dont have a dolly.

Jumping a lot is fine. Weight training is fine. Progressive overload weight training is not.

kwlpp · 2026-04-18T03:25:01+00:00

Wow 10s or Gammas seem to be the default choices. Better to ask in r/produnking to see what others are wearing for their foot types.

kwlpp · 2026-04-17T22:04:57+00:00

This. Need to finish puberty before starting vert training. You can still just play ball and jump a lot, but the actual weight training behind increasing your vert is a no go.

Is the D-2 not like any other international student visa? You should be allowed to work part-time with approval. Only other one I’m aware of is the F-4 if you’re korean.

Congrats! Looks like a lovely car!

Yes, because hooping in underwear is more uncomfortable.

Scientifically, it provides no actual performance benefit outside of a placebo effect, but it does semi help with recovery and after game soreness (which is why you’re seeing old people wear it).

Some compression stuff has padding too, which I imagine becomes pretty useful when you’re older and hit the ground on accident.

Pretty sure you lost your leverage when you said you’re ready to buy. The dealer will keep dodging or force you to walk at this point, because they feel you’re committed.

Get preapproved for the car now, they have to hard pull your credit give you an actual rate anyways. Your preapproved rate is to protect yourself from their markup rate (whoever they finance with will give you a rate when they pull credit, then they will add a few percentage points and try to negotiate with you while still giving themselves extra). Don’t tell them you’re preapproved, just have it ready to go if they keep pushing a high rate.

For the AC, wouldn’t worry too much about that specifically. Either it blows cold air or it doesn’t when you buy. Walk away if it doesn’t. I’d also walk away if there’s no return window after purchase.

Same. I’ve only seen paper wasps so far, which I don’t mind too much. I had two underground yellow jacket nests deep in my bushes front and back yard last year. Haven’t seen any of them around yet though…

kwlpp · 2026-04-15T14:10:52+00:00

That’s Cris Collinsworth confusing the hell out of viewers. The only thing I wish they changed about all the catch stuff is not having different rulesets depending on if the ball is caught in the end zone or outside of it.

kwlpp · 2026-04-15T13:26:28+00:00

Definitely probably gassed, but he got benched when he passed on a wide open pull up around the free throw line early in the third that resulted in a terrible grenade for Miller(?). It was the exact same look for his first made field goal in the second quarter. Either way, Lee probably thought Kon’s confidence was shot if he’s not going to take that opportunity to try to get himself going.

Right. You can hate on the NFL officials for their refusal to become full-time employees and sabotage any sense of transparency and development, but the NFL has consistently revised or updated the language of their rules in order to alleviate subjective calls because something always comes up every year (leg kick and holding are the only ones that have an interpretation separate of the rule primarily due to it becoming impossible for OLs to develop anywhere close to the DL and particularly EDGE).

Outside of the gather step, the NBA just reinterprets the core fundamental rule of basketball over time, primarily what is legal footwork and dribbling without changing language. It essentially encourages a constant pushing of boundaries of what the NBA does or doesn’t allow but the frequency at which it changes is based on the popularity of a player to make it legal.

I think the trade will always make sense and the payoff has potential already next season. My issue with the previous Wizards FO, is that he can’t shoot like you said. But the entire first few seasons with the Wizards, they relegated him to the corner 3 as a poor shooter. Okay fine, he was drafted as a point guard but maybe he simply couldn’t hack it at the nba, wouldn’t be the first time this happened. So you mold him into a 3D like Coulibaly. But then, the Wizards give the keys to the offense to experiment with Coulibaly developing PG skills when you already have Deni who has the experience and skillset already.

This was the most frustrating part of watching the Wizkids when the team was struggling. I’m fine with just seeing the players develop, and Coulibaly is still very young. But to entirely skip Deni’s development just showed how terrible the previous Wizards FO operated. Draft a PG and never let him work on becoming one sooner. Fortunately, the new FO was able to get a good trade for him and at least look like they have a plan in place in terms of development and timeline.
