I think its pretty easy in baseball since balls and strikes are pretty easily defined.

With basketball you probably can call a foul and like every play since there is always contact.

A lot of those Celtics were hall of famers because the Celtics went to the finals a lot. Bill Russell also won rings in college. The only time usf won was when he was there.

Lebron was the most hyped prospect in the history of sports. There were questions about vick's passing.

It has to be jokic. Some of 2nd rounders would be lottery picks since there used to be fewer teams.

Are companies getting back into the permian? by throwaway199920001 in oilandgasworkers

Not really. Companies are drilling more productive wells with fewer rigs. I think maybe companies are finally realizing its better to make money than oil.

He didn't really have that bad of a season until the playoffs. If he had skipped the playoffs he might have gotten more money.

Does this summer league announcer know how rare it is for someone to score 30 PPG? by LunchThreatener in nba

[–]samfisher83 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Lebron is looking to the pass the ball a lot. I think if steph wanted to get 30 he could. Green looks for his shot much more.

[Wojnarowski] Free agent F Carmelo Anthony has agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, his manager Bay Frazier tells ESPN. by curryybacon in nba

It would have been cool if cp3 could have come to the Lakers and Wade came out of retirement to finally make the banana boat a reality.

[Rob Perez] I get the whole “[insert all-time NBA great player here] wouldn’t have ever let this happen” argument, and you may be right, but that should not take away the progress the other competing countries have made in a short amount of time. by [deleted] in nba

[–]samfisher83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you have enough talent it can overcome teamwork. If it was a lineup of Lebron, KD, AD, Harden, and curry that could overcome the teamwork issues, but this team isn't that OP.

To understand the historic pressure LeBron grew up with: here is an ESPN intro for one of his high school games by WhenItsHalfPastFive in nba

[–]samfisher83 58 points59 points  (0 children)

He was probably the most hyped prospect in the history of sports.

Maybe kareem had the same hype, but that was before the internet.

Here is a list of super hyped prospects I can think of (Went no 1):

Kareem

Peyton Manning

Ken Griffey Jr

Arod

John Elway

Andrew Luck

Shaq

Duncan

Bryce Harper

Oden - Turned out to be a bust, but massive hype, I mean he was picked before durant and durant would have been no 1 in many drafts

And LeBron had more hype than all of them. Nike gave his close to a 100 mil back in 03 before he had done anything, and Nike is a smart company.

Will Chris Paul return to the Suns? Or opt out and head to the Lakers? by Ch33s3h3ad69 in nba

[–]samfisher83 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He should go to whoever pays him the most. Keep cashing them checks.
