If Brooklyn doesn’t land top-4 in the Draft Lottery, this is truly the unluckiest franchise in the sport, historically speaking.
• Drafted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only for him to choose to sign with Milwaukee
• Had to forfeit Julius Erving as an entry fee of sorts to transition from the ABA to NBA.
• Drazen Petrovic tragedy
• Kobe Bryant draft fiasco
• 12-70 -> 3rd pick, Favors instead of Wall
• Deron Williams’ injuries
• Celtics trade, picks don’t slide, Celtics hit on Tatum + Brown
• KD/Harden/Kyrie era — injuries, once in a generation pandemic
• 2025 pick fell to 8, meanwhile the 2024 traded pick to Houston rose to 3.
Brooklyn needs a little luck for a change this Sunday.
Aaron Judge:
-Since 2017, nobody has more tying or go ahead home runs in the 8th inning or later
-Most home runs in elimination games ever
-30th all time postseason wRC+ (min. 200 PA) (higher than Jeter/ARod/Bernie)
Insane to me how much Yankee fans hate their modern Ruth.
This guy ran for office promising that he would raise taxes on billionaires and freeze the rents and it only took him 45 days to announce massive tax hikes that will hurt the middle class and result in rents being raised.
This is why we don't elect communists, kids.
@JoezMcfLy I feel like for what they have and are getting back, adding to the pitching is more of a luxury then a necessity.. not saying it wouldn’t be good to add you can never have too many arms, but if we wanna talk abt necessary, righty bat is a necessity
@AshNicoleMoss Yes but in the scene when will comes out he specifically states that he feels as though because of how he is, Vecna showed him that those around him will drift away from him bc of it
@BillyReinhardt The point is thru a game and 3 innings he already has more hits than he did thru those 6 past games. Not saying he won’t eventually be a killer just ironic how it’s unfolding against us. He’s a known Yankee killer
