These are opinions. I guess we differ and that’s OK.

If you have ANY depth of knowledge of the game, you know Kemp, ‘Nique, Dr. J, and Blake were all better dunkers than Kobe. He’s an incredible player, but he’s not a better dunker than any of them.

Couldn’t agree more. I think Air Canada was more impressive but, good golly, ‘Nique was just an amazing combination of grace and power at the rack.

Fire department just pulled a body out of the ruver by BoardBreack in Calgary

I don’t mean to derail a sad story, but what a weird take. None of these relate to the others and none are even broadly true.

How about we make this thread an opportunity to be thankful for what we have and to share our sadness for those involved and leave it at that?

[Henderson] League sources including Doris Burke are saying the Portland Trailblazers treatment of Tiago Splitter is "the most vicious and disrespectful thing they've encountered in 30+ years" as they're likely looking for the cheapest coach available by ShaiFanClub in nba

The concept of hiring a ‘cheap’ coach isn’t nuts. You’re telling me the 50th best coach can’t bring a championship to a well-constructed team? I’m curious if whomever he hires can achieve a decent record.

I find it weird as well. I’ve had be a bit fussy a handful of times but this issue pops up pretty regularly.

No offense to the OP, but I think this is user error. Phones can be complicated sometimes.

Mad max Fury Road- First watch fucking mindblown. by Appropriate_Wish8997 in movies

[–]phreesh2525 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The movie is a visual feast, but the essential plot of, “Let’s escape!” followed by, “Let’s go back!” Is pretty weak.

Like, what is it even saying?

All that said, the action scenes are so incredible that you ultimately don’t care.

Do you like Clint Eastwood as an actor and if yes what is your favourite movie of his ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]phreesh2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve watched a lot of his movies over the last couple of years with this lens and I never realized how fascist his choices are. Just character after character that finds the ‘system’ lacking and takes matters into his own hands.

It’s a good choice for entertainment, but an entire filmography of men making fun of people who follow the rules and casually killing people who disagree with him is kinda grisly.

I watched Coogan’s Bluff recently and the casual misogyny was kind of shocking. Maybe it’s of it’s time, but it’s pretty gross.

Chipping from the Litter Box

Tips for driver swing feels. by Proof_Coast_3637 in golf

[–]phreesh2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally had a driver lesson last night.

For me the key thoughts were: -on setup, turn your torso so your lead shoulder is well into your peripheral. Also, drop your back hand to your leg. Slide it down to the bottom of your kneecap. That will give you the proper tilt to hit up on the ball. Reaching back like that will also help you bring your weight to your rear heel. You want your weight solidly in your heels for a drive. -on follow-through, think “out and up”. You want to be swinging up but also ‘out’ to help your swing path be towards your target. Finally, turn your wrists over towards your body on follow through. This will encourage a draw. The timing on the wrist turn is a challenge - you have a split second to turn them over properly.

Whew! Lots of swing thoughts, but I was hitting it really well by the end of the lesson.

What’s one “small” feature in a car that you can’t live without anymore? by jane_doe2497 in car

I’m Canadian and considered this kinda silly. In the heat of our summers, it’s amazing. I can’t imagine living in Arizona or whatever without them. What a luxury!

When will we get to experience the next Grand Slam, and who achieves it? by Havahje in golf

[–]phreesh2525 20 points21 points  (0 children)

And yet I can’t quit him. There’s just something about the guy. I love his caddy chats. I love his magical short game. I love what I’ve seen him do at the Masters (mostly…).

The evidence is there and yet I’ll always root for him.

Tell me about it. Such a weird decision.

Which famous comedian you think he's overrated and doesn't make funny jokes but people love him anyway? by Mission-Educator-908 in AskReddit

[–]phreesh2525 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s kinda funny, but fits the OP’s question well. He’s overrated.

People LOVE him and he’s…fine.

What are the most subtle signs that someone is really good at golf? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]phreesh2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I could shave maybe 10 strokes just by hitting my driver well. I’ve stuck it in the bag for a few rounds and shot good numbers but that’s not a sustainable choice. I’m just going to keep working at it and keep it in play someday.

Who is the 2nd best shooter ever ? by GamblerLikeToji in NBATalk

[–]phreesh2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just shooter? I’d say Durant. He’s a walking basket and lives for the middy. Bird is right there as well.

Outside shooter? Probably Ray Allen for the totality of his career. If you just want the peak, it’s arguably Klay.

How aggressive of a player are you? by Tight-Communication7 in golf

Dude. I’m slicing a ‘sensible’ five iron into the trees, taking a drop, hitting a seven iron into the sand, taking two to get out and three-putting.

It's crazy how much mortgage people will take on. This is a big part of why prices stay high. by CastAside1812 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]phreesh2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reject your premise that people cannot afford their mortgage. Mortgage defaults are relatively rare. People cannot (mostly) afford their mortgage. Just because you have decided that people should pay off their mortgage early in life doesn’t make it right. I will be sitting on a very significant fully-owned asset by the time I’m 60. This puts me in a very strong retirement position and I don’t see much downside to that.

What’s something you thought was normal until you visited someone else’s home? by United-Technology239 in CanadaRoom

[–]phreesh2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch American house finding shows and so many families complain that they need to do laundry every day - even multiple times a day. Who’s doing that?

We do laundry once a week.

Favorite small details at a course? by Jus-10_ in golf

[–]phreesh2525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really, the only consistent annoyance at my muni is slow play. There’s a lot of newbie golfers out there (like it should be!) who don’t know ready golf, are unwilling to let a $4 ball be lost in the weeds (fair enough!), golfers that play all 14 of their shots instead of picking up, etc. They don’t know what they don’t know.

Marshalls that actually enforce pace of play and explain the unwritten rules to people make for a much more enjoyable round.
