It took him literal years to double-check?

His knees are fine, but he’s got a totally busted bladder. Watch for players slipping on piss streaks on the floor this season.

Really depends where in the workhouse he was working. That place always killed my back.

That was more towards Luka🤟

Because he is a moron, as his many quotes and decisions show.

Nice username 😂

Lmao getting shat on by your teacher like that is cracking me up

Maybe in ⁶⁄₇ years

Yeah, I guess it is just another sport and I was good at those.

Vision training is used for non athletes too as vision therapy.

Gaming has those same types of training built in because games force you to improve your reaction times and vision tracking as part of the natural game play.

There’s things that correlate both ways, but there are a lot of skills that transfer from gaming, in the same way that playing other sports can benefit each other.

For sports games specifically, pro players in football and basketball talk about learning to read defenses through Madden/2K. It’s not going to be exactly the same as in game but physical sports you can’t get hundreds and thousands of physical reps on a daily or even weekly basis in an organized setting.

so this is something i actually like to talk about often: the “out of how many” problem.

like…how many people actually even attempt REAL racing? basically other than nepotism, it’s INCREDIBLY rare for someone to be raised as a driver. but video games? sim racing? the bar for entry is still a bit high (cost of a rig and whatnot) but there’s literally millions more than actual drivers. if someone is the best at sim racing, they are objectively “better” than millions of other people.

the same goes for sports like baseball and basketball. millions and millions of kids play, eventually wash out, and you can be pretty damn sure that the people that make the pros are indeed the best. obviously there are things that can prevent someone with the talent to make it (it is a business after all, etc), and there are certainly people out there who were/are good enough to be pros and just aren’t (this is especially true in baseball, where the difference between making MLB vs stuck in AAA is usually who is in front of you) but again, for the most part, you can be sure the people we’re calling the best are the actual best.

but something like driving an f1 car? how many people have ever actually done that? can you REALLY be sure the best drivers are….actually the best drivers?

THEN you get into stuff like doctors, lawyers, ceo’s, etc. like 0.014% of the US population even attempts to go to med school, roughly half are accepted. so now you’re talking about like .007% of the total population, and even less that actually graduate and become doctors.

are we really sure we’re getting the “best” people do these kinds of jobs? or are our barriers to these jobs actually restricting the possibility that completely random people might actually be just as good? like if only 50,000 are even attempting to get into med school….are our doctors really the “best” out of the entire population, or just those 50,000?

like did you know that after a report in 1976 that claimed there would be a glut of doctors by the year 2000, med school admissions were capped and froze from 1980 to 2005? while our population increased substantially? and aged? imagine if we just said “well we don’t want too many NBA players, so lets just cap the number of kids who can even play basketball at around .014% of the population and just leave it there for 25 years”.

would you REALLY be sure if you’re only looking at less than one tenth of a percent of the entire US population that you were really finding the best? the best of “how many”?

i could go on and on, but when you start looking at gatekept careers like this, you really start to wonder exactly how much shit like this holds humanity back.

like Milton Humason. the guy that was sweeping the floor at a astronomical observatory, was given a chance to learn how everything worked, and went on to be a very prominent figure in astronomy, making several renowned observations and was essentially a partner to Edwin Hubble himself, even to the point that lots of work that is credited to Hubble was actually performed (and proven) by Humason.

we really need to start asking ourselves on a lot of important subjects, are we really getting the “best” and if so, more importantly, out of how many?

F1 drives me crazy because anytime a driver shows any emotion or personality (god forbid any sarcastic comment), they are immediately villified as too mean.

It’s very smart. Media and casuals specifically are eating it up and loving him

Thing is you get much, much better competing with nba level talent early on.

Development is part of sports, and a fun part at that. You think Shai would’ve become what he became if he didn’t have the chance to run a team in the nba early on in his career? I don’t think so…

It’s tiny sample size though. His confidence is through the roof, and there’s no tape on him. Let’s see what happens when both of this dip

thanks for linking me something that has nothing to do with what i’m talking about. I don’t give a shit about him in college and him growing year to year lmfao. This is the NBA. It’s a completely different game level.

I’m judging him by how he looks halfway through the season after teams have NBA tape on him like a rational person, instead of appointing him some star difference maker, off 4 games. This stan and fanboy shit goes too far and you sound like a yaxelGPT bot

Kuzma averages like 3 FTs a game and has only had 16 games in his entire career where he got 10 fts. Yaxel has already had 2 games over 10 fts in the first 5 games of his career.

This sub falls for this shit with old rookies all the time lmao.

If you’re still talking about Yaxel, who cares? If you are familiar with Yaxel’s game and development, you wouldn’t need to try to turn the topic into “what reddit usually thinks”, right? (Your approach is like arguing about a game when you’ve only read the box score.)

Anyhoo, get a clue: Here’s a Yaxel video from The Ringer that covers how his game developed in each of the 6 years at his colleges (Arizona Western College, UAB, Michigan) after he only played 11 games in high school:
