Time to educate you fools there are two types of Chicago deep pizza the first one is called a "stuffed" pizza, and consists of a thin buttery crust, a middle full of cheese and toppings (preferably big chunks of fennel sausage), another thin crust to hold it together, and seasoned chopped tomatos on top. This is the one you get at Giordanos, Lou Malnati's, and a lot of little mom and pop places around Chicago. It is an extremely delicious food, and i don't care if you call it a pizza or a casserole or whatever. The second one is a "deep dish" and consists of a thick cardboard bowl filled with garbage. This is the one you get at Pizzaria Uno, and it is utterly disgusting. Also, Detroit pizza is great. Fluffy crust, baked in a pan, with extra cheese piled against the edge of the pan so that it can crisp and carmelize. Teriffic stuff. Also, as a Californian I should add that California pizza is also good. Pizza with stuff like goat cheese, olive oil, pine nuts, etc can be fantastic. Finally, the best New York pizza isn't even in New York. It's down the Jersey Shore. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I've been to New York, Chicago and Boise Idaho and Pizza tastes the same everywhere it's just greasy dough with random crap thrown on top of it. Someone has to say it. Wake up people we are being lied to.

This isn't how I remembered it from when I went back when i was younger to watch games, so I went to basketball reference to check it out and well, it's not looking great for Wilt. http://bkref.com/tiny/KS9UX Basically indeed, they are pretty even during Kareem's rookie and sophmore years, but it's basically downhill for Wilt from there and he's getting dominated by Kareem fairly quickly, and their second playoff matchup is particularly bad (although, the Lakers won that series).

That was Kareem at the absolute peak of his ability going against old man Wilt who was thinking more about volleyball and how to help Nixon win reelection than basketball. In his athletic prime Wilt was a level beyond anything Kareem could have hoped to be.

Kareem shot 46% as a center and Wilt shot 56% in their matchups. For whatever reason Kareem kept shooting against Wilt even though he wasn't efficient because Kareem needed those counting stats. If Kareem shot every shot for his team in those matchups they would score between 75 and 85 points a game, that's how badly he fared against Wilt 1 on 1. This was against Wilt in his mid 30's. I don't like Kareem very much.

You are looking at the playoffs, although the game before that last one Wilt had one of his worst games ever. They met several times after that in the regular season and Kareem really started to have his way with him.

Wilt was still hyper athletic late in his career with 11 seasons under his belt by the time Kareem even got to play him. Lebrons in his 17th season so that's like expecting Wiggins or Parker to match up against him 6 years ago and then go shot for shot the next three years after. Also who the gently caress cares about shooting percentages when Kareem was still outscoring Wilt and winning those games. He put up 50 against Wilt one time. He put up 39 and 20 against Wilt one time. He actually shot FTs, played fantastic defense, and won four more chips. I don't think there's even an argument in Wilt vs Kareem.

Forgive the ignorance of my question, as I don't follow NBA at all. But does the NBA have a father/son rule similar to the one I am familiar with in Aussie Rules? As in if a player plays X amount of games for a single club, then that club has first dibs on that players son when they become eligible for the draft. Have their been any famous examples of this? I ask because apparently Manute Bol's son is very good, as is LeBron James's kid.

BrigadierSensible posted:Forgive the ignorance of my question, as I don't follow NBA at all. nah, Bol Bol got drafted by the Nuggets, who Manute never played for, plus Manute only played 3 seasons plus a couple games for the Bullets and 2 seasons and a few games for the Warriors, that doesn't seem like it would be enough to trigger that rule. Now, on the other hand I hear Dell Curry's kid might have a bit of talent, I wonder if Charlotte would want to pick him up. edit: also I found this on Twitter, you're welcome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhI-oy7-dz0

as a wilt and kareem stan, i have to weigh in on this debate. wilt was a much better athlete (although prime kareem was insanely athletic; people forget that, because they remember 80 year old late showtime kareem trundling down the court while the other 4 actually ran the break.) wilt was probably a better player overall, but he was limited by his fear of killing the unathletic janitors he played most of his career if he was going full strength. kareem had a better career, and was significantly cooler as a person. kareem was pretty much the anti-jordan; completely unendorsable due to his religion and aspergers, but if you read his writing or watch him speak he comes across as a fundamentally decent human being with very strong moral principles. him boycotting the olympics alone puts him levels above jordan. if wilt played in the 90s and got to play full-strength like shaq did he would have been the most dominant player of all time though, he was so loving big/fast/skilled. this also would have applied if he had been brave enough to shoot free throws underhanded. i really would love a wilt documentary, the paul bunyan stories about him are probably some of the most entertaining basketball poo poo around.

MourningView posted:Most people, probably? If you mostly talk about sports somewhere like here it's easy to forget how much most fans care about rings and head to head wins. And it was definitely the opinion of the majority people at the time. In that recent article Zogo posted you can witness even a professional NBA writer framing those Warriors v Cavs series as KD v Lebron theater: quote:I would put a slight caveat on that, saying Kevin Durant was the best player in the NBA for a few seasons before he tore his Achilles and missed this past season (don’t expect him back until next season). Whether he will be the best when he returns remains to be seen. However, for the two seasons before that, Durant was the best player on the Warriors and for two straight Junes outplayed LeBron James in the Finals. In critical moments he would guard LeBron and did it well. Durant was the best player on the game’s biggest stages and had earned the title best in the NBA (and world).

The game you refer to where Kareem scored 50, he had to take 39 shots to get there and was out rebounded 24-8 and Wilt won that game. That's in his prime Kareem against old man Wilt. Wilt had to play his prime in a unified league where there were less teams and each team had much deeper talent. Kareem played his prime when the NBA and ABA were splitting talent. Also Wilt was way cooler.

50 points on 39 shots is really good lol what are you doing Metapod posted:Also how does anyone not like Kareem? He keeps mostly to himself and when he does speak up its like for civil rights The media didn't like him because he was an opinionated black guy who didn't like talking to them so the narrative of him being a jerk got set pretty early. He probably suffered a lot by comparison being next to Magic for the most high profile part of his career too.
