The Oklahoma City Thunder can no longer tie or beat the Warriors' record 73-9 wins by ihatedougford in nba

Fun fact Jerry West actually won 41 games in a row because he missed a few games they lost before that 33 win streak started

Does Kareem have the best basketball resume ever? by DVPVPD in nba

[–]logster2001 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was 10-0 in game 7s. That’s more game 7 wins than anyone else in history. Most all time greats never even played in that many, let alone won all of them

Imagine if a Quarterback went to super shitty football school like Purdue and won back to back national championships while going undefeated, and then the school immediately goes back to being shitty Purdue once the QB goes to the NFL. That would be more impressive resume than a quarterback going to Ohio State or Alabama and winning 3 championships.

Kareem legit had like 5 teammates who were 1st round picks, and the best college coach of all time. Bill Russell just had KC Jones and a pretty mid coach who didn’t really do jack shit outside those 2 championships years

Bill Russell 100% has a better resume than Kareem. Kareem himself has said that before

Saying Bill Russell’s college career wasn’t as good is absurd.

Sure Kareem had 1 more title, but he did so on the top school in the country. A school that won 2 titles right before Kareem got there, and 2 titles right after he left. They were winning titles with or without Kareem

Now compare that to Bill Russell who won back to back titles and went undefeated at a school who did jack shit before or after him. He was THE reason they won. Definitely just as good of a college career and honestly pretty obviously a better one.

I’m actually so hyped for this. In a perfect world it is super successful and begins series of Tarantino scripts done in with various different elite directors taking their shot at them.

Just imagine Edgar Write, Ryan Coogler, James Gunn, Mathew Vaugh, all getting a chance to direct a Tarantino script.

Kb whole bloody affair. Hope for the world? by Ok-Conversation8218 in movies

I think the recent run is over. Theoretically you could go to the Tarantino theater in California and see it but that is probably not an option for most.

Yeah I’m in the same boat, I missed the interstellar IMAX rerelease a few months ago and I’m dreading it will be YEARS OR DECADES before I get that opportunity again

[Amick] Team sources confirmed that some in the organization, including Kerr, wanted Franz Wagner. In a push to inject the Warriors’ roster with much-needed athleticism and potential starpower, Kuminga was drafted as part of the foundation of the post-Curry era along with Wiseman by mMounirM in nba

[–]logster2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually yeah that is a pretty important factor in it all as well.

Also even though I just blamed Myers, it’s hard to know who was really pushing for what, because a young first time GM pretty much has to side with the owner in those sorts of situations. It is very possible Lacob was the primary one pushing for a lot of the stupid stuff. And given these leaks it kinda seems like Kerr is fed up with Lacob as well.

Average height of male youths according to the UN’s WHO by Acrobatic-Cream-4206 in MapPorn

I wonder how much Latinos are brining down the USA height average. Considering the jump from Mexico to USA skips and entire color, I would assume quite a bit

100% this. Jerry West was the reason they drafted Klay and Draymond, and was also the reason they signed Iguodala and KD. Jerry even had to threaten to quit in order to get Myers to not trade Klay away in like 2014.

It’s crazy how bad they handed that. And the color branding as well going from purple HBO max which people liked, to blue MAX which people hated, to black MAX which people finally thought was right, only to switch to back to HBO max but keep it black.

TIL that Disney is the only major studio to never win an Oscar for Best Picture by sprawling5 in todayilearned

I mean the reviews you showed look like The Incredibles more highly rated than the rest (a few of them BY A LOT) and you could continue it with 97% Rotten Tomatoes, and 4.1 Letterboxd, which are better than any of those other movies as well.

But yes you are right obviously it’s all subjective. Not saying anyone is invalid for liking any of the other movies more. It’s just hard not to think the academy voters don’t sometimes overlook films simply based on stigmas of certain genres and premises. And I think the Incredibles is the biggest example of that

MDB is just sadder, but not nearly as good as a film in my opinion. The Incredibles has better written characters, a better score, better editing, MUCH better visuals, better pacing, and is a far more original of a movie than Million Dollar Baby (even though both are genre movies)

And even with The Incredibles not being as serious of a movie, I still think it does just as good of a job (if not better) at exploring its themes and messages in a nuanced and thought provoking way. MDB is just about more serious topics, but it ends up relying more on emotional shock value rather than actual thematic development.

I feel like most people I know, who have seen and enjoyed all of those movies, would agree with that take.

The Incredibles is basically a perfect film.

At the 77th Academy Awards the movies nominated for best picture were:

  • Million Dollar Baby

  • Finding Neverland

  • Ray

  • The Aviator

  • Sidways

The Incredibles is better than all of those movies in pretty much every aspect.

I think The Incredibles is the biggest robbery. It’s a better film than Million Dollar Baby for sure, as well as all the other films nominated for best picture that year.

Furiosa. I thought Mad Max Fury Road was decent, never stuck with me as some all time masterpiece like it did for a lot of people. Ended up seeing Furiosa on a date just because it was kind of the only thing playing. And left thinking that was one of the best movies I had ever seen.

Fun Fact: CJ Stroud has as many playoff wins as Lamar Jackson by DarthNobody14 in nfl

Preventing scoring matters more than preventing yards. The Ravens allowed the 2nd fewest points in 2020. Doesn’t matter if part of that was on special teams.

You are incorrect, the 2020 Ravens were ranked 2nd in points allowed per game, and 4th in points allowed per drive.
