Spacebump posted:Another huge surprise this year is THJr shooting 39.8% from 3 on almost 7 attempts per game. A while ago I almost set up a challenge about his 3pt shooting, where I would bet the under on 33% for the rest of the season. Instead I made the challenge about Siakam, which is paying off for me about as well as it would have if I'd gone ahead with Hardaway.

I know it's a flattery thing but tbh I never got why any player since the 90s has worn 23. It's like c'mon man, you know whose number that is.

My own feelings about him aside players pretty much universially revered Kobe and he died very suddenly and tragically with his daughter, it's not weird at all that they'd be sad and going out of their way to honor him. Most of them grew up watching him. It's also hard to blame them for not thinking about the sexual assault case when the league and media did everything in their power to pretend it never happened the second the case ended. It only really started to come up again fairly recently when he won an Oscar at the height of the Me Too stuff, and even then only a few people were talking about it, almost none of them in sports media.

Someone who grew up wanting to be like Mike, wearing 23, and becoming part of the GOAT discussion owns. I wish LeBron used 23 his whole career. I hope the next potential GOAT is inspired by Lebron and picks #23. Having future GOATS wear 23 because of the last one would be cool.

23 and now 24 should be special numbers that can only be worn by one player. That player earns the right by winning a 1-on-1 tourny

It only really started to come up again fairly recently when he won an Oscar at the height of the Me Too stuff, and even then only a few people were talking about it, almost none of them in sports media. And take a hypothetical current player that grew up adoring Kobe and who didn't pay close attention to the sexual assault case and settlement/non-apology. They were teens (or younger) focused on their own game and potential college scholarships, and as MV said the media and NBA PR buried it as much as possible. They wear 8 or 24 and get drafted and then manage to snag the number in the pros. Revisiting the assault case would have been unlikely until #MeToo and Kobe's Oscar brought it back (sort of) into the public discourse. However it's a decade-plus later and Kobe has already retired with a legendary iconic final-game performance. If the hypothetical current player, now a mature adult, read up on the sexual assault charges and legal outcome and became terribly conflicted, how could they address it in any satisfactory way without earning the ire of a lot of fans and NBA folks alike? After the helicopter crash and tragic deaths of the 9 passengers, this hypothetical player could decide to change numbers. To everyone else it's a solemn tribute to the late Kobe, and to the player it honors the on-court star while also moving on from the off-court person. Farfetched as heck, but it's just an example to illustrate how little we can learn from a player's tweet or media soundbite. It's a complicated situation, and I don't begrudge a grieving player or distraught Kobe fan who cannot properly process it in the immediate aftermath of his passing.

The NBA allowing these jersey switches on a "case by case" basis is funny because are they actually going to tell someone "no, Kobe actually didn't mean that much to you, sorry" ? Or does it just mean you have to write an email just to be safe.

dokmo posted:PJ Washington being good is probably the most surprising thing of the year for me. It feels so good for the franchise to finally just hit, like, a double in the draft. I don't know if his high end is really that high but he feels like he's going to be one of those guys that has a lot of value by being solid at everything and terrible at nothing. He's a smart player, too: https://twitter.com/bgeis_bird/status/1222148513833848832?s=20
