    This and other knee jerk reactions are laughable. Chet Holmgren is more than a premier defender that is literally the second best big man defender right after Wemby. Curoso is the jack of all trades giving Holmgren a break in a double overtime game. If the Thunder lose they might be willing to package a Holmgren trade for Durant for the sake of reunion nostalgia they can bank on. The key is to keep Holmgren healthy and he's currently a great weak side defender. The Rockets are poorly coached offensively especially during crunch time. Amen Thompson is still grittier and more athletic than either Castle or Vassel but unutilized correctly and if paired with Holmgren would be something special.

    Lol you might not need to hate him but I like that people have their free choices whom to follow.

    If you make the baskets really low, guys like Wemby don't have an advantage at all.
    (a joke obv but it would work if implemented)

    Nah he improved a lot this year. Acting like he was the same guy his rookie year is ridiculous.

    And what are you contributing to the board besides telling people “well you don’t watch the games” if literally one is not on your side of an argument? Lmao

    What do I contribute? The nerve of you chump. Usually I post movie reviews in capsule form - ever heard of movies? Dope.

    Sheep Detectives (2026) 3.75/5 stars

    A delightfully oddball whodunit comedy in the English countryside told from the point of view of . . . sheep, of course. Hugh Jackman and Nicholas Braun handle the human roles as the dead shepherd and the bumbling detective, while Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and Brian Cranston don the wool as voices. Emma Thompson lets loose as an over the top solicitor in a supporting role. Fun for the whole family.
    Honestly in all seriousness - do you actually think Victor Wembanyama is not a historically significant defensive player? Is that like a real take you have, so you posted a Twitter slop vid to support it
    :confused:

    ...... Each morning he rose at 4:30 to train. The monks would have him run through the forests near the monastery or along an
    uneven 200-meter hillside track, doing frog jumps, sprints and one-legged hops uphill and downhill to build his balance and stamina.
    They taught him the Shaolin 13 Fist Form -- one of the two basic forms of kung fu meant to teach efficient weight shifts,
    stability and striking principles.





    How Bruce Lee became a muse for Kareem


    three-four NBA generations ago, in the early 1970s, 7-ft 2 Kareem abdul Jabbar (6 NBA rings, 6 MVP awards, 19 all-star game appearances) trained with Bruce Lee.

    Bruce Lee invented Jeet Kune Do (translated as "Way of the Intercepting Fist"). Rather than a rigid, traditional style,
    it is a hybrid martial arts philosophy focused on fluidity, efficiency, and adaptability.

    [Amick] Victor Wembanyama, who struggled mightily in the Spurs’ Game 5 loss in OKC tonight, declined to do media this evening. He just left Paycom Center as midnight central time nears.

    Wemby is such an entitled punk. You lost one game, not even an elimination game. Go out there and face the music. All up front when winning but weak mentally when losing.
