a neat cape posted:I hate the Lakers and rooted against Kobe for two decades and this entire week has left me in a very sad daze Me too. Every time I see news of his death I get surprised again. The words “Kobe Bryant is dead” are still not sunk in, and I was never a fan of his really. His daughter going with him of course adds another magnitude to the tragedy, but I suppose it’s nice they hit the afterlife together

mastershakeman posted:What really made Kobe have such a huge impact? Being the face of the league post Jordan as it moved to hd+LA? It's weird because I never thought of him as much more than a higher volume Reggie Miller and didn't pay much attention to the NBA between Jordan retiring in 98 and them getting Rose Kobe has almost nothing in common with Miller besides being shooting guards, very weird comparison

True, but Shaq didn't have the dedication to the game like Kobe did. Kobe saw Jordan's maniacal drive and modeled his career after it. Meanwhile, Shaq did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GfdemcL35A Real talk though, Steel was the worse acting job compared to Kazaam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bAWWmLfkWo In the Shaq/Kobe feud, I sided wirth Shaq

Daryl Morey may have been right in his Hong Kong statements & is considered Stat Jesus amongst the analytics crowd, but not knowing that China is a huge market that his business is trying to step into shows how little he knows regarding the capitalistic system he's a part of.

Normally I'd agree, but if the end result gets you championships, the admiration of your fans, and immortality, then it's understandable to think the ends justify the means.

Kobe was the top NBA personality in the league and is the only NBA superstar to die this early or this tragically. Granted I do live in Los Angeles but this city is fractured, emotionally. Kobe was way more popular than Magic or Kareem which is insane.

Ironically they’re both sex pests too haha. But my point is that they both transcended what made them famous and losing a person like kobe Bryant so abruptly and so tragically doesn’t compute and it’s like a piece of your childhood died. RIP

ketchup vs catsup posted:HD < UHD < 4K Almost all TVs advertised as 4K and the content for those TVs is 3840 also. 4096 is pretty much only used by the cinema industry as far as I'm aware. Edit: To clarify, it is 2160 vertical resolution for both, so 3840x2160 vs 4096x2160. 3840x2160 is the same aspect ratio as basically every modern screen in your house. Movies have a slightly longer horizontal aspect ratio but we have already been dealing with that when transferring to home video for decades.
