@BackupHangman hes also a 7x all-nba player and finished top 10 in mvp 6 times, while having one of the best two-guard seasons of all time in 2003, tmac is not a good example of hall of very good
English
Every player that had a couple all star seasons and was remembered fondly gets in. You don’t even have to have massive playoff success.
I LOVE TMac. He’s one of the most gifted talents of his era and I watched his prime in real time…he NEVER WON A PLAYOFF SERIES IN HIS ENTIRE PRO CAREER and he’s in the hall. That’s crazy!

Basketball HOF got a lot of “Hall of really good” niggas in it

Arrival is fantastic but it isnt a space film, and 2001 being included with three movies from the last 15 years feels like an outlier to what seems to clearly be a post about modern space movies
Also, Gravity rocks
Meow’Dib loves Hamnet@meowdib
Gravity instead of Arrival or 2001 is fucking hilarious.

@JacksonLloyd Also why he's so often fouled on 3's, because the separation it causes results in defenders lunging at him to make up the ground so they can try to contest the shot
English
To add onto this, James Harden step-back is often charted as “open” by NBA’s tracking because of the separation he creates
Obviously. those shots are not open by traditional qualification
The actual percentage of natural open looks for Harden is likely below 50%
Jackson Lloyd@JacksonLloyd
408 of Paul George’s 588 3-point attempts (69.39%) were open or wide-open per NBA tracking For perspective on how “open” that is for a star player, James Harden was at 66.39%, 52.25%, and 57.84% as a Los Angeles Clippers James Harden + George had 123.3 offensive rating (95th Percentile) There isn’t that much value in doing this, but (for comparison) George + Russell Westbrook were 120.0 (83rd Percentile - Still Very Good) George didn’t “fall off”; he wasn’t an MVP-caliber player anymore and nobody is a 51% 3-point shooter He also hasn’t had that same level of personal or team success he had with Harden since 2021; the idea that he didn’t fit with or was held back by Harden is nonsense Your bone to pick should be with the organization preferring Kris Dunn & Amir Coffey (I’m not endorsing this, it’s just what they did) - Harden fits with and amplifies every single star player; the system travels *I agree with the Westbrook / George fit being good, I have always argued in favor of Westbrook since 2020 - Westbrook could’ve and should’ve played more, just not at the expense of Harden

@mastermulcharmy @davemeltzerWON Definitely for WM, Rumble trended high too with 500k+ regularly, occasional Summerslams reached that. But most of the B-level PPVs were in the 100k-250k range in the 6 years before WWE Network debuted. AEW cant touch Big-4 levels, but theyre on par with the others in that time
English
@davemeltzerWON To be fair, wrestling ppv numbers used to be in the 700k-1.2 mil rate. AEW does great ppv business, but not that great.
English
@LucyisjustLucy Omega/Ospreay for sure, makes sense on a narrative level since theyre 1-1, makes sense on a match quality level, makes sense on a "Omega deserves the headline wembley" level, etc.
That said, I kinda feel bad about it since MJF is probably on the best run of his career atm
English
@luchablog appreciate them trying something different, but it didnt really work for a variety of reasons, and squeezing it in late is one of them
English
@marcusdavis904 Yeah they rule. Just really wish they used Finlay's theme, one of the best in wrestling. Dogs for Real would be good too. Honestly anything over what they used tonight.
English
@MAdamsStatGuy They were hacking the shit out of him, you don't just get to remove an aspect of the game because you don't like it.
English
If you remove free throws from everyone, Bam Adebayo's night would rank 73rd all-time.
Most points in single game
1. Wilt 100
2. Bam 83
3. Kobe 81
Most points without free throws
1. Wilt 72 (100-pt game)
2. Kobe 63 (81-pt game)
3. Wilt 62 (78-pt game)
--
T-73. Bam 48

@BannedMacMahon @WindhorstESPN @TimBontemps One of the most embarrassing things in the modern NBA.
I'm referring to you and your hack work covering the league, not Bam's amazing night.

@timothynash @TookTimbo @Srlee11 @IAmRockReigns The beauty of twitter is coming across people like you, excessively overconfident losers whose arguments always amount to "im smart, and what I think is objectively true, <insert smug adolescent insult>". Wanting something to be true is, in fact, not the same as it being true.

Yea. AEW on cable is about to be canceled.

@_akamike @KingEmpire345 NXT from a decade ago is radically different from today tho. There's nothing wrong with being in NXT at all, but 2016 was a super indie full of great vets, current NXT is legitimate developmental. It's great for building guys like Oba/Evans, but feels like purgatory for vets.
English
Most fans and the IWC don't even realize the actual point of NXT. It's not to teach them to wrestle, though they do get better at the PC. It's to teach them how to be on WWE TV.
A lot of indie guys like Andrade, Finn, KO and Sami all came through NXT first to adjust to WWE style.
It's not a punishment. It's a chance to polish the talent and introduce them to the universe. So, when they come to the main roster they are off and running.
English
Just a reminder
There is absolutely nothing wrong with starting in NXT
WrestleGuru@UnlimitedPrime
Just a reminder that WWE really tried to put these niggas into development
English
I started holding gedo accountable in film and niggas looked at me like this
English
@Davboro123 Can probably be a regular at the Continental/International title level and slot into regular tv mains. Doubt he’s a PPV headliner, but I also doubted he would ever be a legitimate act in New Japan a few years ago and he dramatically improved and proved me wrong, so who knows.
English
@Davboro123 They're on an absolute heater right now, maybe the best week-to-week the product has ever been imo. Not perfect, but worth checking out for sure.
English
Haven't watched for months, but this revolution card is absolutely unbelievable and I'll definitely be buying.

@PerfectHeist2k He had a really good showing in a singles match against Okada on Dynamite in July as well, try and seek that one out if you can. It's the best match hes had and the best hes looked since his injuries. Sucks that he's hurt again, but that match was very good.
English
@RobViper Feels like the Max Caster route of comedy segments and promos (the things people enjoy about them) before getting obliterated by actual contenders. As long as they arent trying to do 10 minute matches im good with that.
