@tangotiger I also like two other fun ways to show this:
-- ask what number is between .999... and 1 as if there is no number between them they have to be the same
-- have them use a calculator and punch in 2/9 (.222...), 5/9 (.555...), 8/9 (.888...) and finally 9/9 in their calculator
RIP Rick Adelman. First head coach I ever hired. Hall of Famer, brilliant basketball mind, and a great family man. Iβll never forget the 22-game win streak or him pushing the eventual champion 2009 Lakers to Game 7. Thinking of his family today.
Joel Embiid has been DOMINANT since entering this postseason in Game 4.
28.0 PPG
9.0 RPG
7.0 APG
The only other Sixer to put up these numbers across 4 postseason games... Wilt Chamberlain π²
Sixers vs. Knicks tips off tonight at 7 PM ET on NBC/Peacock!
Joel Embid's ability to play against a great Celtic team on the road after illness and injury is incredible . The ability of Nick Nurse to keep this team organized and cohesive with injuries , youth and suspensions is amazing .
