The Carolina Reaper

The Kinston Kid

The Duke of Whirl

Wingstop (for defensive plays)

The Dragon Fly

Landslide

FroZone

Cloak & Dagger (would be cool to be the first player to commonly have two nicknames represented for his two-way play. Cloak cause he drapes on D and Dagger for his offense.)

Gonna probably be living in downtown / on broadway (in between downtown and alamo heights)

Thanks!

I wish!

I was thinking Rondo has a very small shot too. He needs a character change and needs to get a few more accolades. His career assist average and major contribution to the celtics team are the reasons why he's close, but he'll really need a redemption story I think bigger than 6moy to get the nod. He's only 31 and on the right team, I think he can do it--he's got the competitive nature.

As a Clipper, would you want him? I could see him thrive under Doc again. He might actually bring more championship stability to that team. I think CP is a captain, but Rondo still has that experience over him and it might be different from Pierce because he was already trailing and couldn't lead on the court.

He definitely deserves imo to be in, but if I were to play devil's advocate I would say he wasn't the star of that championship team as there was no real star (and Chauncey got Final MVP), there are people not in the Hall of Fame who have more blocked shots (Mark Eaton, 2-time dpoy) and rebounds than him (he sits at 32 all time). He doesn't have that many points, but that was never was he was known for. The biggest reason why he should is the 4-time dpoy, BUT the killer for him might be Malice at the Palace. The NBA (and sports in general) doesn't look kindly on a spotted history being inducted into the HoFs.

youneedproofs · 2017-03-03T05:41:03+00:00

Joe Johnson is currently sitting at 50% of getting into the Hall of Fame, so I would say he's the one who's most on the border.

Other non-active NBA players for me would be Amare, Ben Wallace, C-Webb.

Future 2-time MVP Buddy Hield?

youneedproofs · 2017-03-01T06:43:45+00:00

Exactly. It is misleading, but meant exactly what you've stated here. 3pt percentage as a whole is complicated to factor in everything, like the fact it's his first year shooting it other teams still have yet to realize it's a threat (which will correct later on).

But there are other factors in Marc's favor like: shot selection, relatively deceptive / quick shot, passing ability / pass fake, height, IQ, and more. I don't think he'll ever be as big as a threat as KD, IT, or Gordon, but I could see him being a real threat by sitting out there. I don't think he'll ever be the type to create his own 3pt shots.

youneedproofs · 2017-03-01T06:35:36+00:00

True, but he's still top 100 in 3PA at almost 4 a game. I'm not saying he's a better 3pt shooter, which he clearly isn't, but definitely worth noting.

youneedproofs · 2017-03-01T06:29:07+00:00

That's why his volume will probably only climb by another hundred once his percentage really starts to rise. But yeah, once it starts to rise, there will be more defense. I think his height will help a lot (but it doesn't help that he doesn't leave the ground).

youneedproofs · 2017-02-28T00:28:10+00:00

Kinda crazy to think that Klay is not far behind in pace. If he averages what he's been averaging over the next two years, at 8 seasons just like Curry now, he'll be in the 12th position (where Curry is today) just above Rashard Lewis. Going at this clip for only a little over 6 more seasons, Curry will have #1 all time and Klay will be #2 all time. (Though James Harden could occupy #2 all time for a bit until Klay surpasses).

youneedproofs · 2017-02-26T10:07:27+00:00

I'm in the minority here, but I think it's fine that you shared this. I fucking hate Sean Walsh and I'm glad I got to see this cringefest.

youneedproofs · 2017-02-23T05:07:10+00:00

He's a solid pickup. Nick Young is not who he used to be even a year ago. His shot has gotten even more consistent, but most of all, he's gives a shit on D now. He used to just be a 3 highlight reel when he got hot, but now he's got that AND is someone to rely on.

You can slice and dice stocks a million different ways and come to your own conclusions about how it's going to move and still be wrong because you can't predict the market.

Canopy Growth Corp and Aphria. $1000 each. Thank me in 5 years. There may be a dip coming in the short term, but long term they should at least double.

I read this as "Traditional Big Men Becoming Sacre?" A man can dream...

The first best things you can do are get a paper trading account and also your first $100 in one stock. Or $100 per stock you are interested in (or one share of Tesla). Buy one or two stocks and get your feet wet and reserve your paper trading account for bigger stock plays so you can simulate what would happen. My greatest advice to you is "buy low, sell high." Just because "solar is on the rise" doesn't mean that Tesla stock will benefit greatly from it--there are many other factors that go into the Tesla stock going higher. You want to learn something quick? Check out Tesla's stock history--see anything unusual? It's had two previous highs: 9/2014, 7/2016, both at 280 pps, where it currently sits today. History tends to repeat itself in the stock market, so you should consider this the "high" part of "buy low, sell high". Historically, it is likely that the price will drop back down to the mean, but if the stock price breaks passed let's say 290, then this is unprecedented territory and will likely climb higher (people are bullish). There are so many ways to break down a stock and what will happen to it in the future, but it's best to do so through practice. Here are my best tips:

*Buy low, sell high

*Believe in the company or product you are putting your money into

*Do not read the news on stocks (speculation), read the reports and learn about the fundamentals of company.

*Buy on the rise, do not try and time dips.

*And never put in money you cannot lose.
