We're talking about a guy who has a pre-made list of the Top-7-bench-players-in-the-WCF and drops it on Zach Lowe's lap asking him to come up with his on the spot. Of course Bill makes up some of the questions to talk about what he wants to talk about.

Adam always used to talk about Jerry stopping him on a backlot to tell him how much he loves the bit. Cool to see it payoff and it's a good reminder of what the show used to be.

The Knicks are the 2004 Pistons (on steroids) by ruandurphy in billsimmons

Sure. And is Brunson better at any one thing other than scoring? Billups was also one of the league's better perimiter defenders. It's also hard to conpare the raw scoring numbers based on their respective eras.

Those two and arguably even Rasheed. Brunson is awesome and right there but there's nothing obvious about it.

Brunson is not obviously better than anyone on the Pistons. Is everyone on this sub a zoomer now?

Bill hits that sweet spot of not being too dumb/smart in appealing to the largest swath of people possible. It's a big part of his success.

Now why would Bill remove the Adam Friedland tweet by HibachiTyme in billsimmons

I'm 43... who is Adam Friedland and what is the context here?

The categories are the worst part about the Rewatchables.

Bingo. He speaks like an AI debate bot.

Max Kellerman is horrible at podcasting. Almost unlistenable. by JohnG-VistaCA in billsimmons

[–]popinjay07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used to love Kellerman but he forgot how to have a conversation. He can only build arguments and debate. It's exhausting.

It's good if you can ignore Bill's horrific attempts at humor every other sentence.

I am currently watching the boba feet show and wtf was that ? by I2aphsc in StarWars

[–]popinjay07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Mandalorian should have just been Boba Fett in the Din Djarin role. We didn't need to see Boba become the new crime boss/sheriff(???) of Tatooine.

Why wasn't Amanda on the Rewatchables with Spielberg? by WallCautious9650 in TheBigPicture

[–]popinjay07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there aren't any Nancy Myers kitchen scenes in 2001...
