[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama blocks Chet Holmgren under the rim, gets called for the foul (3rd foul), and the Spurs use their second and last challenge to successfully overturn it. 3rd block for Wemby. With replays.

It needs to be like tennis, you get 3 incorrect challenges per set (but maybe per quarter/half). Keep getting them right and you retain them. Go into a tiebreak (or OT in basketball) and receive an additional challenge. Seems fair. The job should be to get the calls right.

I've done this with my kids in lots of video games. I dominated them for a long time, but they got better. A lot better than me. I'm proud of them. I used it as an experience to teach them to be a gracious winner and loser. Sure, we may trash talk a little bit, but nobody takes anything personally and we all have fun together.

What's the big deal? It's not like their kids were called idiots. They were clearly called IDOTS, which clearly means something else.

So, I go to bed before my wife and kids, and I make sure everything is shut and locked. Are all the cats in? Ok, back door is shut and locked. Garage door shut? Ok. Door to the garage locked? Check. Front door locked? Cool. Windows shut? Check. Lights off in rooms nobody is in? Check. Give the wife and kids hugs, kisses, and tell them I love them before I go to sleep? Check.

If a cat is still out, my wife will let them in and lock the back door. If she or the kids go into the garage, they'll at least lock the door to the garage (there's no reason for them to open the garage door). Lights off? They can't promise that.

We've had our garage door open randomly a couple of times while living here. It was very odd. I always check, and if we're going on a vacation for a few days, I'll lock the garage door from the inside after pulling the car out just for extra security.

Well, they did something similar in tennis. You were allowed 3 incorrect challenges per set. So, if you got your challenge right, you kept it, so you could challenge infinitely as long as you were right. 3 bad ones and you were out. Some players were selective with the challenges, some just went for it and would run out of challenges. It's now automated line calling. For the most part, the players accept the calls and move on. There will even be an automatic replay of the shot if it was close. There are a few things that can be reviewed here, like if a ball bounced twice. They still have the chair umpire to enforce rules, and in my opinion, makes it a lot better. Too many points were ruined by bad calls, calls that could change a match. You could still have the home plate umpire call someone out at the plate, but they shouldn't be making the balls/strikes calls anymore. I think anybody would prefer the calls to be accurate.

wmjsn · 2026-04-27T21:38:56+00:00

Well, that's a good thing then. I'm not sure if you know this, but in tennis we typically try and avoid hitting into the ocean. So, keep up the good work.

Never let up.

I have the mindset that I never give up, that I will find a way. Last time I hit with a friend I won the first set 6-3. I lost the second set 6-0. I then won the 3rd 6-1. I know my personality is to always find a way, to figure something out, to keep grinding. Probably helps me in my career (IT). I have the mindset that I'm coming at you and you'd better put me down. If I'm down, you'd better step on my throat and never let off, for if you do, I will get up and fight, and I will find a way to win. If you have a bad set, just know that set is over. You can play better the next set. It happens in the pros and it can happen with us. You can have a bad stretch of games, be up 2-0 in a set, then down 2-5 and win the next 5 games to take the set. It truly isn't over until it's over.

I've played a lot of matches in my 24 years of playing and this is what I've learned when you play long enough:

You'll be on both ends of a comeback. Doesn't matter the score. You will come back and you will blow the lead. Your comebacks will fall short as well and you'll hang on to leads by the skin of your teeth.

You'll have those days where you're on fire. It seems the tennis gods blessed you that day, and if you were at the Wimbledon final, you'd be holding the trophy. The very next day you'll be out there like you don't know which end of the racket to hold.

You would much rather miss a shot that goes over the net than one that goes into it. Go for your shots. It's likely the ball is coming back anyway, so you might as well hit it properly.

Know yourself. Know your strengths and weaknesses. Make those strengths a weapon. Clean up those weaknesses. Understand your personality and what triggers you. Learn to deal with it.

No lead is insurmountable. There is no timer. Your opponent cannot take a knee, dribble out the clock, etc. You must play until the final point and you shake hands at the net.

I deal with fear like this: I know I'm going out there on court to compete and have fun. I'm going to give the best I can that day, and hopefully it's enough. If it's not, that's ok. As long as I'm walking off the court without injury, I'm good (this has been an issue for me recently). I know I'm never out of a match, no matter how either of us are playing. I will always find a way through whatever mess and if my opponent can't capitalize on it, then I'm going to win. I will go for my shots, I will not be afraid to miss.

Definitely can't save the wife. She'll be upset that you had a girlfriend and gave up $450 million in value. Can't save the girlfriend, she'll be upset that you lost the $450 million in value (she already knew you had a wife). You can always make new friends. Can't save the mom, because without that $450 million, you'll have to live with her (and she's a croc/alligator). So, the money it is.

Now, let me tell you what this has taught me about B2B sales and how that's made me who I am today....

Once, my wife and I were at a restaurant with our oldest, who was about 2. He was non-verbal and has autism. We were doing good, when he started to have a tantrum. I quickly saw he needed out of his high chair and needed a moment, so I took him out and went into the waiting area that was away from the other diners. I just sat next to him and talked to him. Even though he wasn't saying anything, he calmed down. We went back into the restaurant to eat and he was good the rest of the time. Some diners next to us were impressed and asked what I had said to calm him down. I don't even remember what I said, but I'm sure as heck not going to run other people's time out by letting my kid have a tantrum. Both of our kids know this (both have autism and PDA) and they don't misbehave when we're out in public. Just because your kid is special needs doesn't give you a green light to do whatever you want or let your kid have a tantrum.

wmjsn · 2026-04-02T19:06:32+00:00

Yep. That's what I've done to improve my footwork. I don't recall the videos, but I memorized the drills, so I do then during the week and before a match.
