@GlobeBobRyan @podoffame @bball_ref How does the existence of the ABA & the talent split between the two leagues influence your ranking, if at all?

@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.
English
@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.
English
@GlobeBobRyan @_iamlougotti David Thompson had 73 without a 3. Elgin Baylor. Larry Bird.
English
@_iamlougotti Pistol Pete had 68 without a 3. Whaddya think?

@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.
English
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:

I have not been following what’s going on with us and Venezuela closely enough to have an informed opinion.
But if Iran condemned ketchup on a hot dog I’d immediately switch to that abomination.

@CliffordAsness No. I bought Superman #4 for slightly less.

Why do they even care when 1 BTC = 1 BTC?
It’s almost like they are trying to make money in FEE-YAT?

@DavidAFrench 90+ 3s in a game is many things. Glorious is not one of them.

@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 Greatest individual performance in SPORT history. Tell me what was better.

Greatest individual performance in baseball history? (10 strikeouts, too.)

HE DOES IT AGAIN 🦄 SHOHEI OHTANI HAS A THREE-HOMER GAME!
English
@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?
English
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.

@Mikeknightsiraq @WashInstitute I thought the denial of the sanctions waver applied to electricity, not gas.

See my new short @WashInstitute piece on the need to go the extra mile to avoid new legal steps to make permanent the PMF. A fait accompli on that scale could have some horrible consequences - The Danger of Letting Iraq’s PMF Authority Law Pass - washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysi…

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.
