@mldiffley He’s teaching an idea that isn’t necessarily bad, but using it in the completely wrong scenario. You can turn and run along a player’s hip if you’re slightly beat on a drive, but he is just asking to be put in a spin cycle the way he’s teaching it
A pilot jumped out of the door of a moving plane to his death, leaving the student he was teaching to fly to land the aircraft by herself.
The student said he told her, "You know what you have to do, carry on" https://t.co/sQNtRP1LZS
Yesterday, Brad Stevens mentioned how much harder it would have been to build around the Jay's at 70% of the cap compared to the 47% they made when they won at title.
As part of something I'm working on, I looked at how much the last 10 champions spent on their top two players.
What I'm discovering in this process is that there's no cheat code in the NBA like underpaying your best player. Notice that the best player on the 2026 Knicks, 2024 Celtics, 2019 Raptors or 2017 Warriors is not listed in this graphic.
Similarly, notice how the only team above that 70% figure Brad Stevens cited are the 2022 Warriors... who were probably the single team most responsible for the CBA environment we now exist in. Remember when Windy called one of their Finals games a "checkbook win." He was absolutely right. The 2022 Warriors paid just under 124% of the cap to their top four players.
@LuchaConMacho I agree with everything you said. It just doesn’t take into consideration that ultimately fans becoming attached to these characters and wanting the characters and the wrestlers who play them to succeed is why they tune in. I think that the response is justifiable
