Like 1 15 men is 6'5 or so. And they're mostly Dutch or German ethnically. Milk hormones giving girls periods at age 9 and making boys too tall.

Can we talk about our personal Musecages? My Muse Cage is the whole foods in Glendale where everyone is the same height and build as me because it's disconcerting when I go shopping in little aremenia and there are dozens of 5'0 grown adult men toddling around

You don't vote for a role player for Roy because a superstar rookie only played 31 games That's the dumbest poo poo ever. Embiids 31 game production stretched over 82 games is still better than brogdan . He was the best rookie this year ! By far ! He almost made the all star team ffs In summary : I hate you all and especially Uber need Zachary Lowe

Mike Conley has never received a technical, everquote:He once shouted “c’mon man!” after a questionable call and saw the referee start to form a “T” with his hands. Then he saw him stop when he realized it was Conley. “Oh,” he said. “My bad.”

People are saying Pop and D'Antoni are both CotY candidates but no one is saying that Donovan is one. Ergo, Russ is the MVP

Donavan is criminally underrated for not playing Westbrook 40 minutes a game. Just about any other coach would've done that, but he scrapped and scratched for minutes off that awful guard bench just so Westbrook will not die 40 games into the season.

I'd have Saric over him too but whatever if neither of them win it isn't a big deal. Especially since I'd rather have either of them moving forward.

Which is better than the warriors My point is even of you divide his production by 3 he's still better than . .. Michael ? Brogdan

Let's break it down to known knowns and known unknowns and unknown unknowns Kobe states plainly that a Musecage is a room decorated with anything and everything that inspires you. A reel to reel tape and possibly a Quran pop up as he says this. Kobe goes on to state, while surrounded by the words "ambitions, Frien^s, Ambitions, Challenges, Recognitions, Awards, "When you are in your musecage your surrounding by musings that keep you focused and motivated." Then his purple worm friend asks (I think) "Can a musecage cause me to be a beast for my basketball game?" Kobe answers in the affirmative. The worm asks "Can a musecage muse me to be a beast like James Harden? Kobe again answers yes. Kobe states a musecage can be whatever you want to be, if you build it the right way. He states you don't need construction tools, but you need your curiosity, to search all of the world for musings to use to decorate your musecage. the more musings you find, the more powerful your musecage will become. This is when it gets heavier and into a distorted version of ego psychology Kobe says a Musecage is defined by light musings, like 'youre nice" and dark musings, like "you're worthless" Kobe states that dark musings may be our greatest source of energy and power. and that your inner beast may be inside a dark muse. This is followed by an animated vignette in black and red about a train trekking through dangerous mountains in search of a dark muse for his musecage. In the next video, the worm is speaking about destruction and domination. Kobe tells him he needs to learn the game at a higher level, and reveals an all knowing crystal polyhedron. The worm wishes for the secrets of Harden and Westbrook. A female narrator (voice of crystal polyhedron) says that their numbers are inspirational, but a musecage is not complete until we understand how they get these numbers.We're instructed to gameplan against both and the female narrator explains how to cover actions by both Harden and Westbrook in multiple ways. Then she poses the question, are Harden and Westbrook reading the game, or doing something more (ambiguous) then she instructs us to muse on. Known unknowns: Is the musecage a physical room where you watch game film or a state of mind where games are remembered in full and dissected and replayed in various ways Unknown Unknowns: Does the word cage represent the prison that focusing on one task above all others that self-erects when humanity is shunted aside for angry basketball excellence
