George W was an athlete too, but I think mostly running and whatnot. I dunno about hooping. Teddy would be a grit 'n grind legend though.

Dejan Bimble posted:He was wiry but intensely strong. I'm thinking k mart or larry johnson (bucks) Sure, in the 19th century he was wiry. He's the kind of old game player that would immensely benefit from modern strength and conditioning. Boothe, on the other hand, is an inefficient chucker you can find three of in the G League.

https://twitter.com/TheAthletic/status/1432352628353159175 I like that the Raptors might still be pushing the Simmons button. I don't know if a trade would be good, but trades are fun. Trading for Simmons would be cool.

why keep the Ben Simmons you have when you can instead trade for some combination of the 10 worse versions of Ben Simmons currently on the raptors roster

Ulysses Grant was a celebrated equestrian, and could pull some zany feats like "hang sideways off a horse to put the horse between himself and sniper fire". So, while he would be quite short by basketball standards, I think some of that has to translate to not just raw athleticism, balance, and core strength, but also excellent situational awareness and court vision. Grant could be Lincoln's point guard, is what I am saying.

Grant is more an Artest style drunk defensive wing who can do some ball handling. You'd need a Castro-level PG from the American presidency to really let them play even 4 out 1 in offensive sets.

This bit really tickled me quote:The Timberwolves have been motivated to find a deal for Simmons but would likely require a third team given their asset pool of Malik Beasley, Jaden McDaniels and D’Angelo Russell might not entice the 76ers. Well, we don't have poo poo to trade, but maybe we can find a third team who will take our crap and turn it into something worthwhile...

Beasley has a great contract for his production and McDaniels is a 2nd year guy that has some interest. The idea is MN would also send a bunch of picks but you need to match salaries. So if Philly wants the picks but different players you need to get a 3rd team involved. Say Beal wants to be traded, DC might be interested in a couple young guys and a combo of a bunch of picks/swaps from Minnesota more than just Simmons. In that case MN's future firsts would be the real driver. That's why Minnesota keeps showing up in these conversations, they are willing to give up picks and future firsts could be real valuable from them.

Pick swaps are on the table but how valuable is that to a team that is already planning on bottoming out on their own anyway.

I think Morey is holding out for Dame/Beal which would mean additional picks from the 76ers or wherever going out. For MN it'd be the later picks (when maybe KAT leaves) that would be the juiciest. That's not to say MN has this in the bag or anything, but the reason they are hanging around is they are signaling they'd include that kind of future asset that has been real important on superstar trades lately. The actual contracts they send out just need to be palatable, not necessarily stars.

I feel we're overlooking Washington here, he was tall especially for his time, a decent soldier when younger so got to assume some athleticism there, and as America's General the transition to floor general is easy. A Chris Paul type, plus his penchant for retreating dovetails nicely with first round exits.

Second tallest president is LBJ, like Scottie Pippen, shot the king in the back Third tallest is Donald Trump?? That can't be right. They honestly measured this guy in lifts. This guy is not 6'3 https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/11/proof-donald-trump-not-tall-says-7621201/ HERES SOME DEBUNKING FOR YOU DEBUNK HEADS I would guess about 5'11 before the shoe lifts.

Young Trump does look appreciably taller than old Raegan (6’1 but that’s probably before old senile person compression).
