Still some time to take me up on my offer to bet two dollars for every dollar you bet, money going to a charity of the winner's choice, on whether Otto Porter shoots 40% or better on threes after the all star break. This is your opportunity to support a good cause and make fun of me for being hilariously wrong about my irrational hatred of goon favorite Otto Porter. So far I'm on the line for $130, but you can make me look even stupider! The rules are: 1. Regular season stats only, between Feb 24 and Apr 12. 2. If he attempts fewer than 50 threes in that span, the bet's off. 3. If Porter shoots 40% or better, I will donate twice the amount you bet to a charity of your choice. 4. If Porter does not make 40% of his threes, you donate your bet to a charity of my choice. 5. Proof of donation is a screencap of the receipt with any identifying info blacked out.

Lockback posted:Pro Athletes frequently have lovely eating habits, but this isn't surprising when your body actually needs 5000 calories a day and there is no shortage of people who want to bring you out to eat. Michael Phelps' daily diet when training for the 2008 Olympics: Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelette. One bowl of grain. Three slices of French toast topped. Three chocolate-chip pancakes. Lunch: One pound of pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on white bread, plus energy drinks that supply him with another 1,000 calories. Dinner: One pound of pasta, an entire pizza and even more energy drinks.

Kibner posted:Jealous of the band kids leading Mutombo into the gym: I was in NOLA the week after the all star game last time they had it. I was staying a ways down on St. Claude with no car playing tourist so most of my days began with a half hour walk into the quarter/downtown or wherever. Every day on that long walk I had to walk by a school that still had signs up from when NBA players were visiting it and get jealous cause goddamn I know you kids are 13 and need it more than I do but I just wanna chill with NBA players too you know?

I've been trying to find the drat quote but there was an offensive lineman who said he wanted to quit football because the thought of how much food he had to eat made him physically ill. Two PB&J sandwiches and two glasses of whole milk before going to bed before eating like a drat monster all day is what he cited as the worst part.

You need a whole carefully constructed workout and weaning program when you leave professional athletics just to get back to a normal diet. Otherwise you'll end up a giant fatass like military dudes do when they get done with overseas deployments. Like when he's not training, how does Phelps dial back? He just eats a fifth of his usual diet? He'd be starving all the time.

Would Rose for Rubio trade be a terrible idea? I'm just thinking the wolves would get a vet, New York gets a more competent passer out of it.

Ratzinc posted:Would Rose for Rubio trade be a terrible idea? I'm just thinking the wolves would get a vet, New York gets a more competent passer out of it. Why would Minnesota want to do that? Rubio is a younger, better player than Rose on a cheaper contract, and Rubio also largely out-performs his contract, meaning he is an asset. Plus, MN has tons of cap space next year, so if they want Rose they could just offer him a contract.

Rose shoots better and is an actual offensive threat, and their assist numbers are fairly close (6 vs 8). Might give their offense a different look, and knows how Thibs defense works.

The level of defense that Rubio provides vs. Rose is the difference between Tony Allen and Anthony Morrow.

YEah the Green deal was clearly signed with the intention of moving it. The players Orlando is apparently sending out are of no use to them. The problem is that Jackson probably isn't going to "figure it out" and as it stands he's not even a dramatic improvement over Elfrid Payton.
