Poque posted:That sculptor always adds worrying vaguely-human shapes to their statues. Michael Jordan is dunking over some kind of dementor amalgamation and the Harry Caray one outside Wrigley makes it look like he's gleefully sending a bunch of babies to hell I have to post a picture of that Harry Caray statue for people who've never seen it, because it is honestly extremely difficult to exaggerate how insane and creepy it is. I have no idea what is broken in that sculptor's brain, but he should probably not be trusted around sharp objects or human beings. They're just writhing out of the ether under him, like Botlzmann brains that spawned in a state of agony. WHY ARE THEY THERE AT ALL??

kingcobweb posted:MPJ being a finalist for MIP is ridiculous. He’s a second year player, of course he got better than when he was a rookie, rookies suck. But even his shooting (which is insanely good, don’t get me wrong) is more of a steady improvement than an out of nowhere leap: 2P% .564 to .628, 3P% .422 to .445, FT% down from .833 to .791. Obviously his team defense is better, but any guy his size who was that terrible on defense last year can learn to defend better than that. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Murray went down but Denver kept winning. Jokic got the lion's share of the credit for this, of course, but people are also crediting MPJ. He's being perceived as someone who can be a legit second best player on a contender soon, if not already. That feels significant in terms of narrative.

Spacebump posted:I’m confused why I didn’t know fans get one MVP vote. Where did people vote? I just spent five minutes googling this and all I saw was “online” and one site said “on Twitter”. I’m pretty sure the sportswriters writing these stories about Rose winning the consensus fan vote don’t actually know where or how those votes are cast. I’ve read 10 stories and none clarify that.

So, someone on reddit managed to confirm that there was such a thing as a fan vote. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/nvi2ji/conti_derrick_rose_got_a_first_place_vote_for_mvp/h13j6c3/ The NBA made some tweets over the course of two weeks in May that received very little engagement, and (at least the one linked in this reddit post) didn't even clearly state that the vote would count toward the real award.

He had a really good season and really helped them keep winning when Murray went down. Not discounting the incredible play of the MVP, of course. But he really made the leap that was being hyped in the off-season.

I hope he leaves because he’s a pretty cool player and I don’t believe in Dallas ever giving him a good team to work with. Don’t waste your youth, Luka! But it’s easy for me to say he should turn down psycho gently caress off megabucks.

Replay had to be tried as an experiment, because if it was good than it’d be inexcusable not to have it. The experiment failed. We know it sucks horribly now. Get rid of it.
