@podoffame @bball_ref Ah, no. John Havlicek ranks somewhere between 10 and 15 on the all-time list. From approximately 1968-73 he was the best non-center in the league, better than the still viable, but fading, Oscar and Jerry.

Hondo may have the most underappreciated career in NBA history. 11X All-NBA player with 8 rings. Should be included in every top 25 list.

@AdamBattocchi @GlobeBobRyan @_iamlougotti That’s a tough case to make when a meaningful number of top players were in the ABA. Two pro leagues diluted the pool of talent. Pistol had the ability to score 83 but the NBA was not harder then.

@GlobeBobRyan @_iamlougotti That's right. Furthermore, he averaged 44 points a game in college. To say nothing of the fact that the NBA was harder to play in with 7 fewer teams when he was drafted.

@SayighYezid @rayajalabi Fascinating narrative frame for Baghdad & other post conflict countries. Catastrophe. Hopelessness. Corruption. Rarely, if ever, “the situation is meaningfully better but far from perfect.” “Muddling through” is closer to reality but unserviceable I suppose.

The same scene is happening in all Arab countries afflicted by conflict and devastation, as privileged elites and power brokers capture income streams and concentrate their wealth. By @rayajalabi: Where Baghdad’s moneyed elite like to hang out ft.com/content/aa7c5d… via @ft

@GregHuntoon @km MJ’s Flu game. MJ’s 63 point game against the Celtics in the playoffs. MJ’s performance in game 6 of the 1998 Finals. Tom Brady in SB LI. Don Larsen’s perfect game in the ‘56 WS. Tiger’s 1997 Masters and 2000 U.S. Open. Kirby Puckett’s game 6 in the ‘91 WS.

@km Kirby Puckett’s game 6 WS performance has a case. Stakes couldn’t have been higher, which could give him an edge over Shohei’s legendary night in a largely stress free NLCS game 4. Take a look. It’s one for the ages.

There’s a rather impassioned argument regarding the hot corner. Let’s settle it. One HOF 3B for the entirety of his career Brooks Robinson or Wade Boggs?

All these political accounts talking about Zohrans background just demonstrate how out of touch they are. Messaging like "freeze the rent" or "make halal 8 again" is way more powerful than talking about the laffer curve. Same thing as 2016, "build a wall" and "Make Mexico pay for it" is way more driving than a "decency" argument. Anyways feel like this was visible from a mile away.

Lebanon defaulted USD bond has a bid, trading close to pre Oct 7 level. I see the logic: an asymmetric return profile + hope for “new” Lebanon. As an old prof once said, it ain’t gonna happen.

When the IQD market rate declines against the USD Iraqi Twitter makes ample note of it. When it appreciates… Consistent with the general observation that Iraq is newsworthy only when something bad happens.

For everyone at elite schools saying it's impossible or unrealistic, here is what freshman students read in their first semester in the Honors College at The University of Tulsa. Do they do the reading? Yes. Do they appreciate the challenge? Yes. Is it hard? Yes.

jon repetti@pourfairelevide

600 pages of reading per week (especially if most of those pages are from novels) is totally reasonable for full-time college students. That’s less than 100 pages per day. If a college student can’t read 100 pages per day without cheating they should not be in college.
