@MatthewXanthop1 @Yesavage2HOF Angrily citing average splits for a 2 game sample size while misspelling the word “dumb” is great content

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@GiveMeYourBonez @jeff49910401 @briandpowell “NC is officially the worst state in the union for education (yes, worse than Louisiana and Mississippi)”

By what metric is NC officially the worst state in the union for education? That sounds highly unlikely in the abstract.

@JohnGreenEyes5 @_NBAESP_ I still haven’t seen where the quote came from, but I’m guessing he was trying to highlight the dynamics of modern defensive schemes (and less comparing any specific defender’s talent level for either era).

That MJ/GP dynamic was so fun. This is one of my fav sports photos ever

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@FreeCallNow123 @JohnGreenEyes5 @_NBAESP_ It’s the hardest it has ever been to play D b/c of the overall offensive talent level, rule changes that favor the offensive player, & the amount of space defenses need to account for with modern offensive schemes w tons of shooting & spacing.

Depends on what you mean by sucks🤷‍♂️

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@Ryan_real_McCoy @_NBAESP_ Where? I literally told you in the first reply “no idea where the quote comes from.” It’s not linked in the OP.

Who tf is the “we” you’re talking about lmao

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@Ryan_real_McCoy @_NBAESP_ This is not at all what you said originally (“so we’re calling Giannis and Brook Lopez better rim protectors than the centers of the 90s”).

I pointed out he’s likely referring to team defensive scheme and personnel. You then decided it wasn’t about rim prtection after all.

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@Ryan_real_McCoy @_NBAESP_ No idea where the quote comes from, but presumably he’s talking about team defenses like the Bucks w/all 3 of Jrue, Giannis, & Brook at once.

He’s not saying Brook > Shaq / Hakeem. Just that you don’t only have to beat POA & big any more, there’s another roaming 7ft alien too

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@JohnGreenEyes5 @_NBAESP_ I don’t know where this quote was taken from, but presumably he meant when Jrue, Giannis, and Brook Lopez were all on the same Bucks team.

You have to get by a lock down man-to-man guy, deal with the rim protecting big, and mind another freakishly athletic roaming help defender.

@idontgetball @GoatedFlyer @LakersFilm You’re not producing on the court if you’re not playing, so I don’t buy it.

I hear where you’re coming from; I’ll even be the first to agree that fully healthy athletic prime Embiid was a pure terror on both sides.

But he hasn’t even played 60+games 6 non-consecutive years.

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@idontgetball @GoatedFlyer @LakersFilm I mean I agree and was happy to CP3 on this list, but he’s arguing for Embiid I believe?

My main point was I don’t think Embiid has been available enough over any given 6yr period to string together a viable argument for top 10 peaks using the OP’s criteria.

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@AdviserCounsel Here are 187 pages of largely incoherent back-and-forth with Claude to get you started

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@CenturyOG @LakersFilm Look at how he defines peak — it’s a 6yr period, not single season.

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@willraftus @LakersFilm @DreeSZN_ He has Duncan higher on his list than Shaq, what exactly do you mean?

Duncan’s peak is lower (presumably because he was never close to as dominant of an offensive force), but he out scores Shaq on prime and longevity.

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@GoatedFlyer @LakersFilm Which 6 year period are you viewing as Embiid’s peak?

[Liste @endliste]

Just found out about recency bias. Maybe the most important bias ever

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@Dillon_Moon @AndrewDBailey It’s just non-responsive to “give me your best argument that…”, but you do you

[Mutacious @mutacious]

@Dillon_Moon @AndrewDBailey This is not an argument, it’s just a statement of opinion.
