It should also be noted that assists were harder to get in Wilt's era. If the shooter took a single dribble, you couldn't pick up an assist. Between that and his uncounted blocks, Wilt's stats should be even better, which is crazy to think.
Depends on how the show is being mixed and the A1 in the truck. Some guys will ask to use every mic on the truck. Other will go bare minimum, which is still 2 mics at mid-court, then a net, key, and handheld at each basket. Then you fill in with 1-2 high crowds. Who knows if the mixer gained up the efx mics while trying to troubleshoot the booth.
Music piped in during play is one of my greatest pet peeves of NBA games. But it seems most NBA arenas aren't as rowdy as college games when there's no student section.
As a person, absolutely. Being good or bad at basketball doesn't have any impact on whether or not it's okay for an entire fan base to treat a dude like shit.
If Ben was so unhappy for whatever reason that he couldn't bring himself to play basketball, he should've retired or taken a break without holding the team hostage or in limbo. There was nothing wrong with Simmons putting his mental health ahead of basketball, however he shouldn't have strung the Sixers along.
He was beaten by a better team in those series. Jordan dragging whoever the Bulls could find to the playoffs just to meat Bird, Parish, McHale, Ainge, etc.?
I agree with you. It's a team sport, and Bird/Brady both had better teams than Jordan/Mahomes in their playoff meetings. Dogging Pat for losing to Brady in the playoffs is a lazy take, when Mahomes was a Dee Ford offsides or coinflip away from winning in 2019, and had no OL in 2021.
Not crying at all. Just pointing out the flaws in using head to head in comparing QBs. Is Eli better than Brady? Is Foles better than Brady? Even then, Mahomes is 3-3 vs Brady.
This was my first in-person NBA game, and I showed up specifically as a KU fan looking to cheer on Christian Braun. He kinda stunk it up in the first half, so it was an incredible experience watching him ice the game with 3 huge jams in the 4th.
While at KU casuals assumed he was the typical 3-pt shooter, and that Ochai Agbaji was a slasher due to their respective complexions. In truth it was the opposite, and Bill Self was actually coaching Braun to take more 3s, since he was a great shooter but wanted to yam all the time. And he was coaching Ochai to be more aggressive, because he would prefer to be a passive shooter.
Nothing, because Syracuse is way behind in a number of other metrics: only 1 NCAA NC & 6 FFs. Similar story with Temple, who used to be a prestigious program despite very limited tournament hardware. Gotta have more than just nattys, gotta have more than just wins.
College basketball has been around over 125+ years. 1999-2024 represents less than 20% of college basketball history. It might take another 25 years, it might take 50 years, it might never happen based on never being able to make up for those first 100 years.
Then they should have established a background that is plausible. The fact that every thread is obsessed with "how are these two states on the same side?" is indicative of how distracting it is as an idea. Without justification in the film it just seems like a juvenile fantasy with no understanding of real world dynamics.
I know your post is weeks old and no one else will see this, but you're absolutely right. I won't even bother watching the movie, because the premise is farcical. I read the plot on Wikipedia, and saw the map of the party divides. None of it is realistic to how a real civil war in this country would look or how factions would be decided.
6 chips and 7 final fours in the past 25 years is long enough to be blue blood status when teams like Indiana (who shouldn’t be) are considered blue blood for success pre 64 team field and nothing to really show for it post 2000
UConn is the most decorated program of this century, but 25 years is only a fifth of college basketball's history. Blue blood status is debatable based on what different individuals value. For some, recent success is all that matters; for others, history is important in addition to sustained greatness. UConn lacks the latter, as they're not even top 20 in all-time wins and didn't start popping off until 1999.
I’ll take modern success over 70s-80s success any day but I get what you’re saying. I still think if you’re able to reach the pinnacle of cbb consistently for 25 years you should be undoubtedly considered a blue blood and a pantheon of cbb
Early order of business would be bombing enemy aircraft manufacturing. The destruction of WW2 aircraft against an enemy they'll never be able to see, let alone engage, will probably cause an end to the war all on its own.
Like I've said to everyone here, the US can bombs hundreds, even thousands of bases and take out hundreds of thousands of planes but they cant take out millions of planes and hundreds of thousands of bases and factories all over the world. They cant out produce the world. Say they drop a moab and take out a base, by the time they've built another moab several new bases will be under construction. For every plane they take out a 100 arise to replace it. Its a win every battle and lose the war situation. Without weapons of mass destruction the US doesn't have a way to suppress the world long enough to win.
I think you're overestimating how quickly nations would be able to restart production. But let's ignore manufacturing for a minute, and discuss what good all of those planes are going to do against the modern US military. They'll never be able to touch the US, while suffering countless losses. The WW2 armies have no path to victory, while they will continue to take heavy losses. They eventually tap out one by one.
Just watched some highlights and one video was similar to watching a stud HS player just housing punt and kick off returns. It doesn't translate to football very well, but his kicking game is fantastic as well.
Weird how people actively try to ignore Wilt because he was so great lol
It's gotten so bad that there are now morons saying that the most athletic player in NBA history wouldn't make an NBA roster in today's league.
I think this stat is post-merger. Cuz yeah, I was surprised Wilt didn't have it either
It should also be noted that assists were harder to get in Wilt's era. If the shooter took a single dribble, you couldn't pick up an assist. Between that and his uncounted blocks, Wilt's stats should be even better, which is crazy to think.
Is Belichick looking for just Head Coach jobs, or a HC/GM combo like he had in NE?
Allegedly just HC
Trump's only 3 years younger, yet only one of their ages gets discussed.
Trump is older than Biden was when Republicans were claiming Biden was too old to be President.
Featuring the worst surprise fake punt of all time.
I'm giving that title to the Bills fake punt with Damar Hamlin against the Chiefs this previous playoffs.
While that was bad, didn't the Bill's sort of need a spark at that point? I honestly don't remember.
It was
it's because they don't have adequate courtside mics.

Can't enjoy games at the arenas because of the ridiculous music and other audio ear assaults they play at ridiculous volumes.

Did Jordan get beaten twice in the playoffs by a better player?
Yes, by Larry Bird 2 of his first 3 seasons in the league.

Romo is one thing, but wow, I'd love to hear Booger McFarland commentate some golf.
Get him a Boogermobile that drives across all 18 holes
Yeah but he has to live in Kansas
Lawrence is incredible. KC is only 40 minutes away. The rest of Kansas? To be avoided.
I like Kentuckansas Razorcats
Leave us out of this. You'd naturally be Arkentucky, and the y would be silent.
And then the Cardinals!
That Randy Johnson/Curt Schilling World Series was magical.
Tom Brady had 3 SBs in his first 4 seasons as a starter. I'm sorry that you don't know the history of the sport and are crying because you're a homer.
Not crying at all. Just pointing out the flaws in using head to head in comparing QBs. Is Eli better than Brady? Is Foles better than Brady? Even then, Mahomes is 3-3 vs Brady.
you are too unintelligent to understand whats being said to you or how to read a comment chain
You're too unintelligent to have identified sarcasm two days ago, and instead been arguing against me since then.
Bill Self really is a brilliant coach. Lose to BYU at home on purpose to convince Kentucky that Mark Pope is the best coach in the NCAA.
"The Jayhawk of renown" is a great call lol
This was my first in-person NBA game, and I showed up specifically as a KU fan looking to cheer on Christian Braun. He kinda stunk it up in the first half, so it was an incredible experience watching him ice the game with 3 huge jams in the 4th.
I’m not sure anyone saw that first one coming holy shit!

Arkansas travels to Kentucky next season...
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
What do we do if Syracuse passes UCLA on the all time wins list next year?
Nothing, because Syracuse is way behind in a number of other metrics: only 1 NCAA NC & 6 FFs. Similar story with Temple, who used to be a prestigious program despite very limited tournament hardware. Gotta have more than just nattys, gotta have more than just wins.
At what point is the 90s historical success?
College basketball has been around over 125+ years. 1999-2024 represents less than 20% of college basketball history. It might take another 25 years, it might take 50 years, it might never happen based on never being able to make up for those first 100 years.

He hasn't scored in over a month smh
Just when I thought the Brittany Mahomes hate was undeserved, you drop this bomb on me.

Nothing wrong with valuing modern success over history. It makes for a
Bush league UConn. You're up double-digits. Inbound the ball, pussies.
Connecticut wins this they become a blue blood?
Nope. They're a powerhouse, but new money.

K3 behind Butker and Reid
I mean honestly this is the best way to circle back to ideocracy. We need Dwayne the rock Johnson to run as trumps VP.
Delete this now before he gets any ideas
I could see that yeah, and it would be very reasonable
He deserves it. But all this "his career is over!" talk is laughable. He didn't kill or maim anyone.
