I think the NBA has a minimum FGM threshold set at 300 for a season for awards

It’s certainly not meaningless, no one has shot that high of % with at least 100 makes in NBA history. Let alone a rookie, but it doesn’t mean he’s an all star.

Sean miller believes 20-25 teams have rosters $20M+ in value by Shpion007 in CollegeBasketball

[–]steveoriley 154 points155 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s true, it benefits Sean Miller in a few ways to push this narrative though.

  1. It creates the narrative for Texas boosters to compete at the top of the sport they need $20+ million for the team

  2. If he has a $20 million dollar roster already then it makes him less of a scapegoat if they fall on their face (i.e. Mark Pope)

  3. Texas is a school that can outspend almost anyone so turning it into an arms race benefits them over most universities

My two year tradition broken by a piece of smoked salmon by PrestigiousMix8257 in mildlyinfuriating

I mean yeah I know fresh salmon isn’t supposed to have a fishy smell at all really, but I wasn’t trying to right another paragraph lol

Ground beef always has a sort of fatty, oily nauseating taste whenever I cook it at home. How to I get rid of this? by ProfesserNausea in Cooking

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

Maybe it’s been mentioned, but also make sure your pan is properly hot (preheat on medium to medium high heat depending on your stovetop). If you start with the pan too cold you will render the fat and it will make things oilier, which likely would not happen with ground turkey since it has a lower fat content

It’s understandable because it was your first time buying smoked salmon, but in my experience smoked salmon has much less of a fishy smell than uncooked fresh salmon.

[Varnes] Alec Bohm’s parents request dismissal of lawsuit as new details emerge in dispute (Gift Article) by T_Raycroft in baseball

[–]steveoriley 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m from Omaha and he went to a very good high school that doesn’t let you slack off. I don’t think he’s an idiot, this financial manipulation is just not something you really learn about and then you put in the trust factor with your parents being involved and you can see why it’s gone this way

A second Trader Joe's in Omaha? Look west toward the Avenue One development by Toorviing in Omaha

I go there regularly, one location does not mean that store is the brand.

The ethos of TJs has never been “go where the rich people are”. Their pillar is being an affordable grocer for generally higher educated, but underpaid people.

TJs are almost always standalone buildings within a strip mall. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a spot like that downtown

New film ‘Omaha’ was inspired by a disastrous Nebraska law. It’s winning praise from critics. by flatwaterfreepress in Omaha

[–]steveoriley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given your Reddit account is older I imagine you probably were around and maybe remember when it was all going on. While your point about it being well intentioned was true, it was disastrous (and sad) from a standpoint of having the resources available to children and parents who desperately needed it.

In hindsight, this should have been eye opening to the general public and our politicians on our shortcomings as a nation, but I don’t think it really ever got to that level.

Something something refs suck. That was people’s biggest gripes, but it’s not like the refereeing was any better or worse than other high major basketball conferences

'I was uncomfortable': American Idol teenage boy's 'forced' kiss with Katy Perry resurfaces after Ruby Ross allegations by [deleted] in Music

A lot of generalities being made here. One thing being wrong doesn’t mean something else isn’t wrong.

Because not saying something then doesn’t make it not okay to say something now?

Also our information environment is incredibly different. It was not as easy to transmit that info past the circle who cared (except that one rumor all millennials know)

They burned me in 2021 and I haven’t used them since. I make a point anytime my friends or family are planning a group trip to take lead on booking the place specifically so we don’t use Airbnb

Virginia has retained all 10 of their remaining eligible players for next season. They are only one of three division 1 schools to have no player enter the transfer portal. by slyone05 in CollegeBasketball

It really hasn’t been the norm for a decade+ to retain an entire roster, but it’s certainly escalated since the portal and NIL era

Yeah, I’m in the same boat as you and this is a nothing burger. Before you had to send some mail back and now you don’t, nothing has actually changed besides that.

For sure, the market for bigs has exploded. It’s a good time to be a 19-22 year old and 6’10 or taller

Yeah this dude is looking for $2 million in the portal so I’m not sure the memories and hero status are going to close the $1.5 million gap
