I found you Evan Kazaam, like Space Jam, was very bad, but by virtue of the vast majority of us watching it during our formative years, we view it through the most rose-tinted of glasses.

This also extends to movies such as The Land Before Time, starring Russell Westbrook.

When Shaq played I thought he was a piece of poo poo but I look back on his career and realize that he was pretty fun to watch. His all star game highlights are some of the best.

i wrote shaq a letter when he was on the Magic, I loved that team. "He" sent me back a glossy which i then grade school photoshopped by cutting out my head from my yearbook photo and gluing it on there

I'm pretty sure it had it's own thread to talk about it. When Shaq first got on twitter he used his account differently. It used to be more candid/real. The coolest aspect was he would regularly give fans tickets to that night/day's game. Like many basketball players, his twitter became worse as twitter became more popular. Now it's almost exclusively sponsored/self promotion and not as funny. https://twitter.com/shaq/status/3435123096?lang=en vs https://twitter.com/SHAQ/status/816449969418711040 Basically as twitter became more monetized for celebrities, the worse many accounts got.

Spacebump posted:Yet all of us were smart enough to recognize Steel as terrible at the time. Yeah I follow almost no celeb twitter accounts. They're either not posting on their own accounts, advertising themselves when they are, or are generally regular boring people. Embiid and Gobert both have pretty great twitter games and I'm optimistic of this generation.

The thing about Drummond is that he's an amazing rebounder but he's never been #thatgood outside of that. Extremely and bizarrely inefficient

Extremely and bizarrely inefficient His rim protection is not nearly what it should be considering his size and agility. He also has a habit of tossing up hook shots as soon as he gets the ball. The entire team's ball movement is atrocious and he's maybe the biggest black hole of them all.

JVG also said embiid should be the MVP the Sixers finish the season with a positive point differential with him on the floor.

Ben Golliver has expressed a desire for caution about Embiid's number but he expresses a desire for caution about almost everything.

It's about as naive a use of +/- as you can get, and it's easy to offer a lot of quick Narrative explanations of why the list looks like that but it'd come with so many asterisks that it'd take a few essays to sort it out by which point you'd have realized you shouldn't have used +/- edit: I mean, it's not making any distinction whatsoever between "Embiid's good" and "Sixers are bad". And heck why not name a few asterisks left--strength of supporting cast, opponents, matchups, Embiid's minute restrictions and resulting deployment against opposing teams, pace, embiid leading in the total minutes off category might actually speak against whatever point he's trying to go for there It's painfully obvious that Embiid is good as hell (I voted him as ROTY and PER leader in the predictions thread!) but that's very very the wrong way to prove it EvanTH fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Jan 14, 2017 |
