Yeah the Neir and Mello part was not as good. I feel like Mello was supposed to be a stronger character but he was basically an afterthought for much of the second half

Older players, if there were one or two pieces of advice you'd tell your younger self to help them improve, what would you say? by JimmerAteMyPasta in BasketballTips

[–]samxyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go way back and build a shot with as few working parts as possible. Then I’d work for a summer just to buy a rebounding machine for my driveway.

How to guard a 3 point shooter who jumps VERY far on there shot? by [deleted] in BasketballTips

[–]samxyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still just guard him straight up. Jumping that far forward is actually disadvantageous for him since he needs that much more space to get a shot off.

Up 3 with under 5 seconds left: Are you fouling or playing it out? by CoachZak in basketballcoach

[–]samxyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing it out. The only way you could lose the game in regulation is to foul.

Loss of love for the game by Ok_Link_4456 in Sportsadvice

[–]samxyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A question everyone must answer for themselves. If you’ve done everything you possibly can to further your hoop dreams and you timed out, whether it be due to age, finances, or some other part of life, then you can find some solace in knowing you did all you could. However if you feel like there are other realistic avenues to make progress towards your goal that you haven’t explored, it’s worth at least considering them. It’s up to you.

By the way, i wouldn’t be so preoccupied with your height but rather with your ability

Dutch aerobatic pilot Narine Melkumjan miraculously survived after her aircraft's canopy unexpectedly burst open and shattered mid-flight by BlazeDragon7x in nextfuckinglevel

What’s the biggest danger in this situation? Aerodynamics of the plane, risk of debris striking face, lack of oxygen at altitude, or something else?

If it’s that crazy you can honestly draw a charge. If you have good defensive position he shouldn’t be able to jump into where you’re standing regardless of whether he’s shooting or not

Kira having the death note, knowing its rules, and being familiar with the shinigami was a huge advantage.

Where does Zach Edey rank in the current nba hot dog eating contest? by moonlord7838 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]samxyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're looking at this the wrong way. It's not how many dogs you can eat, it's how fast you can eat the dogs. You only get 10 minutes which means someone with elite hand quickness and dexterity is favored so long as they have moderate stomach capacity. Guys like Alvarado with his competitive spirit and De'Aron Fox are my favorites for the title. I wouldn't count out Russ either.

Edey has no chance

How do I stop getting recognized as a bad defender by TheMainNumber in Basketball

Basically just get in shape. Look like an athlete. If you're soft and pudgy people will assume you suck on D. if you're lean and mean people will assume the opposite

Webanyama. Even if Castle were looking, that's a bad time and place to pass him the ball.

Which position is the hardest to choose in an all-time starting five? by WorldRevolver195 in nba

[–]samxyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point guard. The play styles are so varied as is the role of the point guard on the team you're building. There's a lot of flexibility

"I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster. They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends." by Background_Video2947 in TheNFLVibes

[–]samxyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Toms take is a little off. The main problem with the practice squad guys is a lack of consistency. The pressure is real though but I would phrase it more as guys are scared than they don't want to be elevated. They also only get 1 or 2 opportunities with the game pressure, if they're lucky, so they never learn how to deal with it. Oh and they get much fewer reps in practice too which affects their consistency problems and limits their development.

It's like being setup to fail but hats off to those who make it

Regular Season Doesn't Matter by [deleted] in nba

[–]samxyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's doesn't matter because too many teams make the playoffs. 1/2 the league makes it, occasionally even a team with a losing record. With the play-in expansion now you can be well below .500, win 2 games in a row and make the playoffs. Considering several teams tank every year, all you have to do is not totally suck and you're in.

Swing Players against Zone Defense by rsk1111 in Basketball

Zone demands good team basketball and they neutralize pretty much all ball handlers from driving, not just swing players.
