sports opinions (mlb, nba, f1)

[nicorosberger]

from march 2019

tw: "we hear lots of success stories of people that are very driven, that have a big ego, and that gets them a long way, but the ones who succeed longer are ones who grow slowly. they are self aware. i think that is a very important personality trait that you need to have today."

nr: "i'm not so sure, because if you look at verstappen, for example, he is like a narcissist you would write in the dictionary. how can you not question yourself if you do six times the same mistake, and on the seventh time, you do the same thing, but it happens to work because you have so much talent and that turns it around to a huge success streak. so i'm not so convinced that you are right with that. an extreme narcissist when you have the right talent can be an extremely powerful force, maybe the most powerful."

josh hart: no, i was not thinking about your butt.

[cannotacrowmb]

jalen: analytics told you not to play josh in the fourth. but you can't measure, you can't measure... you can't measure the heart. that's what he's saying. you can't measure the heart. he had heart that game.

matt: he had heart that game.

jalen: technically he has hart every game.

spurs vs knicks is such a perfect final matchup for all the dichotomies people have been discussing (tallest man ever vs shortest man ever, babies vs vets, stronger 1a superstar vs stronger starters outside of the 1a superstar, team of draft picks vs team of trades, etc) but also because it is so good to have a team trying for apotheosis vs a team trying to do katabasis

the first triumvirate was a real diversity win if you think about it

[caesxr]

sorry for not elaborating on this one. i meant because caesar was neurodivergent (bald) and the other two were probably some flavour of lesbian

here's four entire minutes of (french) sir gawain on the literal edge of his seat losing his mind watching lancelot sweep the floor with everyone at a jousting match and saying "lanslo" (french for "lancelot") to king arthur every time he wins just in case arthur missed it. one of the many ways arthurian cinema peaked with lancelot du lac (1974) dir. robert bresson

Idk man my nervous system gets regulated from walking really really fast and elbowing groups of people taking up the whole sidewalk. like that’s what makes me feel at peace

wemby is so great. he's 22. he had a potentially fatal blood clot. he's in a fantasy/sci-fi book club for nba players that's just him and one other guy. he beat the okc thunder in the nba cup semifinals and said immediately afterwards he was happy to be playing "ethical basketball" (implied: unlike them). he has a high kick so high that it can knock a basketball out of the hoop. he decided the best way to recover from the potentially fatal blood clot was training with shaolin monks. he could have had a career with fc barcelona but turned it down because the coaches weren't challenging him enough. he's 7'4". actually he's 2.24m because he's french. he cries on the court because he "refuses to hide the burden of [his] emotions." he elbowed a guy in the neck last week. he hates iso ball. he hates ICE. he's the first guy to win defensive player of the year in a unanimous vote. he's currently building a 7,500-piece lego model of the millennium falcon

everyone please enjoy this post while you can before i make it unrebloggable on june 3 8:30 pm est

further reasons i think the spurs are a better matchup for the knicks

wemby is going to be absolutely extraordinary. he is going to appreciate the fullness of the moment and rise to it. he has the vision. but he is not going to see the mvp trophy awarded to someone else in front of his face immediately before game 1.

i'm not saying san antonio is going to let us pull up, because they're an awesome fanbase and they're not going to let us pull up. but in our efforts to do so, it's physically a lot easier to reach san antonio than oklahoma city

this makes jalen the only jalen (jaylen/jaylin/jaylon) remaining in the playoffs, which, as we all know, gives him the right to ceremonially eat all the other jalens and absorb their power
