He looks so confused. He’s approaching it like a job and his opponents are playing like it’s a holy war.

D-Book's game has changed since this...

He was operating with Kobe level precision in this series. His legs were firing and the skills were so sharp. He was just ultra aggressive.

@TheDunkCentral @jwquick LMAO it’s coz bro didn’t expect Blazers to make it to Playoffs. He didn’t budget for this

[Jacob Seliga @jacob_seliga]

Portland and Golden State were so afraid of Booker going off that they played the “let everyone else beat us” game and got burnt.

Tonight especially with his defense and his playmaking, Devin Booker showed why he’s still that dude. He doesn’t need to score 30 like other guards to impact the game, he elevated the guys around him

Marvel paid Robert Downey Jr. $500,000 for the first Iron Man. Eight years later, their CEO tried to cut him from Civil War to save $40 million. The movie made $1.15 billion.

I dug into the actual numbers on this, and Perlmutter’s math is almost funny. He was trying to save about $40 million by removing one actor. The previous Captain America movie, Winter Soldier, which had no Iron Man storyline, made $714 million at the box office. Civil War, with Downey in a co-starring role, made $1.15 billion. Deadline (the entertainment industry trade publication) put the profit at $193 million on a $250 million budget. Downey’s name on the poster added about $440 million in ticket sales. Perlmutter wanted to save $40 million and would have lost $440 million. Eleven-to-one the wrong way.

He had done it before. Back in 2009, Perlmutter slashed Terrence Howard’s contract from $8 million down to roughly $1 million for Iron Man 2. Howard walked. Don Cheadle took the role for the $1 million. Perlmutter ran actors like line items on a spreadsheet. Kevin Feige, the guy who had been running Marvel Studios and turning B-list comic book characters into billion-dollar movies, finally broke. During Civil War’s production, he told Disney he was going to quit.

Disney’s CEO at the time, Bob Iger, had to pick a side. Keep the penny-pinching boss who ran Marvel’s corporate side, or keep the producer responsible for billions in revenue. Iger picked Feige. He rearranged things so Feige answered directly to Disney’s film division and never had to deal with Perlmutter again. Perlmutter’s internal team, which had been overruling creative decisions and slashing budgets for years, was shut down.

The movie Perlmutter tried to gut also did something he never would have approved spending for. It introduced a then-unknown Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Holland’s three solo Spider-Man films have since grossed $3.9 billion combined, every single one cleared a billion on its own.

Downey earned somewhere between $435 million and $600 million across nine Marvel movies, depending on which estimate you trust. Marvel just signed him again, this time to play the villain Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, reportedly for over $100 million. Marvel’s films have made more than $31 billion at the box office total, the biggest movie franchise in history, and Perlmutter, the guy who wanted to save a few million by cutting its face, was fired from Disney in 2023.

This is actually a really great point.

The Carson and Demar drama is even more irrelevant when you realize that DeMar will probably not even be top 10 in scoring.

Curry will more than likely pass him next year and between Curry and Harden they will raise the bar so high that you basically need to score 30,000 to be top 10… which I don’t know if DeMar will keep up.

But if he does kudos to DeMar

Steph Curry and people like him are probably the best proof I have of my (not so conspiracy) theory that our purpose is decided for us on the conveyor belt of creation before we even get here.

Everyone is born to do a very specific thing and some people never find out what that is. The people who do end up living very fulfilled and often lavish lives and the people who don’t are doomed to a life of existential inadequacy.

You could be really good at killing people lmao but your morals and sensibilities wouldn’t allow you to be a hitman or work for any government agency.

In Steph’s case, his seemingly innate marksmanship put him right where he needs to be, doing what he was meant to be doing.

Same case with Jokic, but in a more pragmatic sense. Nikola Jokic doesn’t give a flying fuck about basketball, but he’s eerily great at it. He loves horses. But when you’re 6’11” with otherworldly game in the court, being a cowboy simply isn’t in the cards for you.

He could have gone that route, but I imagine going against the grain in such a way would have led to a less stable life for him, which I believe to be the case for everyone.

And I think the further you stray from your purpose, the harder your life is, and vice versa.

Some people find that thing and do it. Some people spend their entire lives searching. Some people know and renounce that path. It’s a beautiful and terrible thing. I wonder if there’s a word for it.
