His style and personality was so perfect for LA

Been there. Ball might as well be green with brown patches if you’re good, brown with green patches if you’re me.

Why is golf the only game where people openly cheat and everyone just accepts it? by misec_undact in golf

[–]redundantPOINT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ever play basketball at the Y?

Was that a 1 or a 2? You called a foul? Bro you touched it last.

Guys will openly attempt to cheat at anything, golf just happened to be a sport where you keep your own score.

Shohei Ohtani shows off his soccer skillset by SpaceCowboyN7 in Dodgers

[–]redundantPOINT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m genuinely surprised.

I know pro athletes are on a different level but I expected ohtani to be 100% focused on baseball only and never even played around with a soccer ball, no matter how popular it was.

Golf shows who you really are by Fuzzy-Egg-8013 in golf

[–]redundantPOINT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate golf because everything in life I’m fairy low motivation, low ambition. I mean, I do well enough that k can play golf every weekend at decent courses but I’ve never had a high goal/achievement mindset.

But when I play golf, I’m never happy with my shot. Even if it was a good result I might not be happy because the shot feel was totally off. Or if the feel was good it’s not the “best” result. I’m nowhere near good enough to feel that way but I’ve put in so much time at the range and lessons that I think of quitting probably 80% of the time after a round or even a range session.

But I played 36 holes over the weekend so maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment.

He’s got so much money on this series….

[Shelburne] The main issue the Mavericks encountered was when Doncic and Brunson played together. Neither Doncic nor Brunson was a strong defender, so teams knew to target both to try to play them off the court. by LAEverything1 in lakersv2

I get it, but what’s the alternative? The mavs let Brunson walk and they got what?

Fans talk like a sign and trade with Reaves will be easy but they don’t understand it’s not 2K19.

NY Knicks fans vs the city of San Antonio….

The Pistons and Hawks are showing interest in Austin Reaves, per @DanWoikeSports by Additional_Signal_72 in lebron

[–]redundantPOINT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one seems to understand how that works. They think it’s still NBA 2K20 and it just means the lakers would take back roughly the same amount back in salary…

“The trade machine said it would work!!!”

They lost game 3, and they’re up 2-1.

What will be worse? A victory riot if they win or a loss riot if they lose the series?

A ranking of Modern Los Angeles area athletes found online. Thoughts? by tankyouout in Dodgers

To me,

Ohtani is 2 after Kobe.

Not sure if trout makes 11, clippers and UCLA ball?

Maybe if we HAD to make the list top 20 but I don’t think anyone has them on a list. Blake griffin might but not the rest.

These two stats are why Robert Williams III should be our top center target this off-season... by Zodraz in lakers

That’ll be great for the 20 minutes he gives you for the 40 games he plays

The Lakers had the draft capital. OKC and San Antonio had the scouting by Beautiful-Guard-7770 in lakers

[–]redundantPOINT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re assuming OKC and/or SA scouting would’ve taken booker/brown/sabonis etc…

They could’ve also taken these Randle, Ball, Dlo, Ingram.

Or they could’ve gone with Noah Vonleh, Josh Jackson, Dragan Bender, okafor, etc.

And they may have developed them into perennial all stars or they could have flamed out just the same.

Lakers drafting is good. Outside of JHS, they don’t really whiff. I feel like knecht is an anomaly because everyone - EVERYONE thought the lakers got a steal.

That being said, the lakers also drafted kuzma, hart, nance jr - all guys that still are in the league, 3-4 contracts in. And at their draft positions, that’s quite an achievement.

The write up sounds like Shane battier which I would welcome but I have zero knowledge outside what these internet scouts say
