“I am happy because being a participant of the (expletive) play-in for some years, that I get to sit back on my couch with my wine knowing I don’t have to play until the weekend. Just sit there and just like enjoy. I’ll have one iPad with golf on and the other with the play-in. I will be so excited.

Do you know those old ladies that reach 100 years old and they get interviewed asking what is their secret? It always involves some type of moderate alchol drinking, so LeBron is just following that.

Jeanne Calment put it down to red wine, coffee with heavy cream, large amounts of chocolate and fried spicy foods. And she made it to 122.

She also quit smoking aged 117 because her hands struggled to work her lighter.

lady had super soldier genes. That diet won’t take you to 122

I mean, I live on an island where people routinely make it to 100 drinking wine, eating chocolate, drinking coffee and smoking.

There’s definitely commonalities between people who live to old age and those who don’t, lol. It’s not just random genetic luck.

Lifestyle and environment play a huge role obviously but genetics are right up there in consideration with both. Obviously its good to try to lead a healthy life to maintain your body but sometimes you are just predisposed to stuff based on genetics and you are fucked.

She did a reverse mortgage sort of thing on her house so a businessman could own it when she died. She ended up outliving him. And I think his kids.

When they do studies, they find that the lifestyle factors are a big determinant of making it to 90, but making it to 100+ is almost entirely genetics

The clip where he says he gave up wine and sweets goes on a little longer than what was posted here / what most people watched. He says he gave it all up to recover from his injury at the beginning of the season but around the new year was eating cookies again or whatever.

I don’t disagree with that general sentiment.

But I’m not sure it makes for great viewing to watch the 1 seed woop on the 8 seed who played less than 48hrs ago in some other state.

1 vs 8 is maybe the least interesting match up usually so maybe it doesn’t matter much. But it’s also the series least likely to go any more than 4 games so the 1st one possibly matters more in some ways.

tinybathroomfaucet | Supersonics

1 | 31 minutes ago

Yes, it doesn’t matter much. The 7 and 8 seeds at least get to enjoy a win before they get swept

DwayneBaconStan | Hornets

Either way, you should get a decent advantage being a higher seed so im fine with it
