@FitzFromRWpod@TheFieldOf68 I had the same thought when I read the post. But what he’s saying is that the ball literally did not go through the basket. It rolled out. Hard to believe that ball didn’t go down.
Hate practicing off mats because you then hit it heavy on the course.

Karl-Anthony Towns stats…
Last season:
35 MPH, 24.4 PPG, 12.8 RPG, 3.1 APG, 1.0 SPG, 0.7 BPG
This season:
31.3 MPG, 19.8 PPG, 11.9 RPG, 2.9 APG, 0.9 SPG, 0.6 BPG
Identical stats, he just played more minutes last season
Blaming KAT for all of the Knicks problems is lazy, he is a frustrating player at times but he is far from the issue
I’ve only seen this setup 1 time in 6 years 👀
I’m putting $500k in this SINGLE stock
Very similar to $RR that made millionaires
•$100 → $100,000 overnight
•$300 → $300,000 in a single day
This is the third time.

asked my friend what he does for a living
"I get on Zoom calls and give opinions about products"
"and they pay you for that?"
"$300 last call. 30 minutes."
"wait, how much a month?"
"$2,500 minimum"
he's made $110,000 doing this
I stared at my phone for a full minute
here's what he actually does:
THE ZOOM ARBITRAGE SYSTEM:
every morning:
opens 3 platforms (Respondent, User Interviews, UserTesting)
applies to every qualified study (15 mins)
goes back to his day
every evening:
checks for acceptances (10 mins)
schedules 2-3 calls per week
that's it
THE ECONOMICS:
Meta needs feedback on new features → pays $400
Google tests products before launch → pays $300
Apple wants user opinions → pays $250
they make $100M improving products
you make $300 for talking
WHY MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS:
Google "paid research studies" → 1,000 scam sites
he spent 6 months finding the real platforms
that's the only barrier
THE MONEY:
$150-500 per study
2-4 studies per week
30-90 mins per call
$1,200-2,500/month
4 years of this = $110,000
WHY PEOPLE FAIL:
they apply to 5 studies and give up
they lie on screeners and get banned
they ghost after getting accepted (instant blacklist)
they don't know which demographics pay more
THE TRUTH:
he doesn't have a business
he doesn't have followers
he doesn't sell anything
he just shows up, talks, gets paid
"the algorithm doesn't know me"
"the platforms do"

That is the collective Excel experience of my team of 30 people, in one room.
I have personally used Excel for 20 years. Since the very beginning.
We’ve spent decades "crushing it" when it comes to financial modeling.
We knew every shortcut. Every nested formula. We thought we had reached the peak of efficiency. (They are better then me, just to admit)
But I have something to tell you.
The game just changed.
In my opinion, we are witnessing the biggest innovation since Excel was first released. It’s not a new function or a Power BI update.
It’s Claude.
Specifically, Claude’s ability to build and manipulate Excel models.
For 40 years, the "manual labor" was the tax we paid.
Hardcoding formulas.
Spending hours formatting cells.
Manually linking sheets and building tables from scratch.
That era is over.
Claude can now handle the heavy lifting of building the structure, the logic, and the formatting in minutes.
But here is the part that really surprised me: It actually understands accounting.
It understands the relationship between a Balance Sheet and a Cash Flow statement. It understands how operating drivers flow into a P&L.
We aren't replacing our expertise. We are finally liberating it.
Instead of spending 80% of our time building the model, we spend 100% of our time analyzing the results.
If you want this Prompt and Excel model, just drop a comment and I’ll send it to you.

No, calf strains do not always result in a torn Achilles tendon—far from it. While there can be a connection in some cases (e.g., if the strain isn’t properly managed or if an athlete returns too soon, it might increase stress on the Achilles), the majority of calf strains heal without progressing to a rupture. [1] [23] [7] Medical experts emphasize that many Achilles tears occur without any prior calf injury history, and calf issues are just one potential risk factor among others like chronic tendinopathy or overuse. [1] [7] [29] In fact, a 2025 NBA study found that only a small fraction (five players) had a recorded calf injury before an Achilles rupture, suggesting no automatic link. [29]
Regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo specifically, there’s no “inevitability” here based on available info. He recently self-reported a right calf strain after a game, expecting 4-6 weeks out pending MRI, but no mention of Achilles involvement yet. [10] [14] This echoes his 2024 left calf strain, which was diagnosed as a soleus or gastrocnemius issue (not Achilles), and he recovered without a tear. [11]  Dr. Jesse Morse (a sports medicine doc on X) broke it down back then: Calf strains come in grades 1-3, with grade 1 being mild (2-3 weeks recovery) and higher grades taking longer, but walking ability post-injury makes Achilles rupture unlikely.  He noted calves heal slowly and reinjure easily if rushed, but aggressive rehab like PRP or stem cells can help.  Other docs like former Warriors physician Rick Celebrini have outright said there’s no direct susceptibility from calf to Achilles in many cases.  
Plenty of athletes deal with calf strains and rehab back to full health without Achilles issues. For instance:
• Giannis himself in 2024: Missed time due to a calf strain but returned without complications or progression to Achilles tear.  
• Joe Burrow (NFL QB): Dealt with a nagging calf strain in 2023, rehabbed it, and played through the season without it leading to Achilles problems (though calves can reinjure if not careful, as Morse notes). 
• Many others in the NBA recover routinely from calf strains via rest, graded rehab, and modalities like ultrasound or injections, without escalation—experts point out that while high-profile cases like Kevin Durant (calf strain preceded his 2019 Achilles tear) or recent ones like Damian Lillard and Jayson Tatum get attention, they’re exceptions, not the rule.    Recovery typically involves 2-6 weeks depending on severity, focusing on strengthening the gastroc/soleus muscles to offload the Achilles.  
Can I get a Twitter doctor to explain this alleged inevitability of Giannis’s Achilles popping at some point? Does every calf strain issue always result in a torn Achilles?
Are there examples of guys who just dealt with calf strains and were able to rehab it to full health?
It’s Yabu trade day!!!!
With both Jose Alvarado and Keon Ellis being linked to the Knicks in trade chatter as potential answers for point-of-attack defense and backup PG help, it feels like something could be brewing.
If the Knicks make a move, which one would you rather target: Alvarado or Keon Ellis?
