In 2009, before Stephen Curry was drafted, the Warriors were ranked 77th out of 92 NBA, NFL, and MLB teams in terms of franchise valuation.
Fast forward to today, and the Warriors are #2 out of the 92 and #1 in the NBA.
@FelonKeller31 We’re on the brink of week 8. Who would’ve thought at the beginning of the season that Felon would be defending Zach Wilson with his life.
I’ve realized Steph vs Kyrie is a first cousin to Bron vs Melo lol one guy is way better at basically everything that matters but the other guy uses fancier moves so he’s more “skilled” to aesthetic junkies.
It's crazy how many people want to see LeBron James fail.
Even when 8th graders fail a math test, it's seen as a failure for LeBron. Like he's LeTeacher or something.
"0% of 8th graders in LeBron's 'I Promise' School have passed the state's math exam since 2018."
The most important thing when a new headline comes out isn't the information that's mentioned, but the information that is deliberately left out.
Let's be clear: ZERO students passing is a bad thing. But there's more to this story mainstream media doesn't want you to hear:
🔸To qualify for the 'I Promise' School you must come from the bottom 25% of the state's reading exam.
🔸28% of students at the school have a disability.
🔸Most admitted students are not proficient in math at their grade level. They are years behind coming in.
🔸42% of these students progressed a full year in math, but they're not proficient at their grade level yet.
🔸The entire country is seeing reading and math test scores plummet since the pandemic.
🔸Overall, reading and math scores throughout America have been significantly declining since 2012.
Anyone can find this information, but most won't bother considering the only reason they're talking about 8th-grade math in the first place is because it's linked to a celebrity.
LeBron's mission is not just to make 13-year-olds pass an exam. The bigger purpose of his school is to attack a generational education issue in America. An issue where at-risk kids don't get the classrooms, teachers, and opportunities LeBron is providing at his school.
But the internet just doesn't seem to care…🤷🏽♂️
Some of my favorite Tiger stats.
Enjoy.
------------
Tiger from 1999 to 2009:
Percent of events he won:
➡️34%
Percent of events he finished 9th or worse:
➡️32%
Over a 10-year stretch, Tiger was more likely to win than finish 9th or worse.
------------
Tiger had a 10 year stretch (1999 to 2009) where he finished in the top three in 53% of his starts.
------------
Tiger in 2000 season:
▶️2nd in Distance off-the-tee
▶️Hit 71.2% of fairways
Pretty good.
------------
From 1999 to 2004 Tiger had a 100 tournament stretch with:
▶️33 wins
▶️61 top 5s
▶️70 top 10s
-----------
Tiger was how good in 2000?
Take the 2022 leader in each strokes gained category:
Off-the-tee: Rahm (1.03)
Approach: Zalatoris (1.06)
Around-the-green: Kuchar (0.52)
Putting: Herbert (0.85)
Add them up = 3.46 per round.
In 2000 Tiger gained 3.83 per round.
------------
Tiger Woods won 24 times in a 38-month stretch.
------------
Since 1980 (as far back as the stats go) the only player ever to hit more than 75% greens in regulation in a season?
Tiger Woods in 2000.
(75.15%)
-------------
Tiger in 2000:
He gained 5+ strokes in 31.6% of his rounds.
------------
Tiger's career win-rate as a pro:
▶️23%
Chances the typical PGA Tour pro makes a 15-foot putt:
▶️22%
-----------
Tiger had 32-round stretch in 2006/2007 where he beat the field by an average of 4.7 shots per round.
Tiger was nearly 5 shots better than the average tour player. 🤯
He would have needed to spot them 19 shots over 4 rounds to make it "fair"!
------------
In the 2000 season Tiger finished in the top five 17 out of 20 events. His worst finish that season was 23rd.
-------------
If you only counted the money Tiger won at:
▶️Firestone
▶️Augusta
▶️Torrey Pines
▶️Bay Hill
It would be $36.9 million.
That alone puts him 28th on the career money list.
-------------
Tiger had a stretch where he won 23 times in 50 events.
▶️Win rate of 46% 🤯
-------------
In 2000 season, Tiger played 76 rounds.
