Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
Embiid would absolutely annihilate guys like Willis Reed and Bob Petit. After an adjustment period. He would always be ridiculously frustrated with how physical they'd be with him lol. Today's stars are pampered Imaging a guy like Bill lambeer guarding him Why is it only the current generation that...

Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
They might disagree, but they'd be wrong. Here we go again. No way to prove it either way. All we have are opinions to debate. Sorry, I'm not going to pretend Reed and Petitt weren't two of the greatest to play the game and didn't "dominate" some of the others who were the best to have ev...

Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
Honest question, because obviously I've never seen Wilt play, but was he actually a better inside shooter? Did he actually have post moves? For a guy who was averaging close to 40 ppg, I would expect higher percentages than hovering around 50%. The year he averaged 50, he shot 40 times per game. Ho...

Re: F the NCAA
I'm not saying, exactly right now, that the pub is ruined. But it's starting to, quickly - you can see the signs. I'm not at the moment going to completely just stop going to the pub. I just won't go to the pub as often. And then once the local pub gets a new more expensive menu, a big loud digital...

Re: F the NCAA
The players are being recruited and paid by wealthy individuals ( yes, the people in the collectives are wealthy ) to play at the schools. It is different than any 'kid with a job', obviously, or there wouldn't be this kind of discussion about it. You want professional basketball in college towns. ...

Re: F the NCAA
I don't disagree with your points about non-profits only concerning themselves with profits, I've often wondered the same thing myself. And not just about regarding NIL stuff, but more so why are CEO's of charities and such taking such high salaries while at the same time saying everything they do i...

Re: Nba draft/offseason
It's not like he's in control. Doesn't he still have 4 years left on a contract? It's not like the Nets have to do anything just to make him happy some place else. They'll make sure they get what/who they want.

Re: Nba draft/offseason
There's got to be a time when no matter how good a player is, a team still isn't going to trade for him. Didn't Kyrie just opt back in after reports came out the Nets aren't able to find a team willing to agree to a sign and trade? Don't blame teams for wanting to stay away from guys like him and Si...

Re: F the NCAA
Would you be willing to cover the KU intramural leagues? That seems to be more up your alley of college kids playing just because they love the game and nothing else. Or would the outrage that a good majority of those kids make money from sources outside the intramural league be too much to handle?

Re: F the NCAA
I thouroughly enjoyed the 2021-22 men's basketball season. Start to finish. Hell, football was great. Even the CWS was exciting.
But, that's just me I guess.

Re: F the NCAA
The "get used to it" is for the people who stick around and still watch. If you don't want to watch or support it anymore, that's up to you. The point is don't sit and watch every game and then bitch about it the whole time. It would be like buying a ticket to a basketball game and then co...
