I like watching him because he makes me feel good about my vertical and my gut

If the rim is going ro get damaged it'll be with his dunking force, not his pull up force.

These techs are so stupid. If the rims being bent on dunks, either produce a rim with higher electric strain or find a way to replace them quickly. Maybe a "clip in" system or something as simple as less and larger fasteners.

He's definitely better. As he should be given a year of in depth theory and shot practice in the nba, not saying wemby couldnt have been coached to a similar degree in france but different leagues need different approaches. Let alone quality of teammates and their willingness to include you in the play.

It'll never be a fair comparison, if wemby ends up #1 he deserved it/worked for it, given the extreme disadvantage he has.

It would be a cool metric to compare how many opportunities at buckets they make for themselves and others from nothing/without help.

"Why wouldn't he let go with all his forward momentum and injure himself" - the refs probably

Has there been a history of fighting? I don't see why it would occur during basketball of all sports? Someone post some clips!!

 

The most unnatural thing in the world is trying to be 🗿 after something upsetting or amazing happens.

I understand if something is unsportsmanlike like but at this point it feels like players are being thrown out for just getting excited about a nice play.

As a new viewer these are some of the strangest calls I've seen in any sport.

The inner skeptical in me is curious if this is a way for refs to manipulate match scores to some degree because it feels so random and out of place.

Edit: meanwhile Dray having a 10 year old childs meltdown every 5 minutes without repercussions? What's that about...

 

I can't be the only one who doesn't enjoy spending 3 hours watching a 48 minute game? I'd love to see a breakdown of ad time vs playtime because I'm sure it's close to 4:1 if not higher.

Constant ad breaks mid quarter, split screen ads, banner ads etc. I understand they need to make money but in this case it feels like it drastically diminishes the quality of the broadcast.

Started talking about it to people at work and they apparently all just choose to watch the highlights the next day instead for similar reasons.

How do you guys feel about it? Any other solutions it make it more enjoyable?
