      @mattyjazzz 7 років тому +192

      OKCThunder Champs I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that maybe since he was the best player on the team and was looked at as the leader, there's much his teammates could have learnt from him during some one on one time during a practice. I thought that was pretty obvious. I was pretty good at hockey growing up, but I don't doubt that if Wayne Gretzky came to my practices I could have learnt a lot from him and probably would have gotten better at hockey.
      The other thing, is like many others, basketball is a team sport and the reason why practices are important is to get everyone working together as a cohesive unit. Learning plays, and getting the entire team on the same page is very important during team sports.
      All that being said, I really don't give a fuck and thought this shit was hilarious.

      Just like the PED issue. Has any of these Punkass journalists interviewed a team physician or trainer? What about an owner's incentive to have a player he is paying millions of dollars be able to come back from injury in 6 weeks instead of being out a year?

    • @kybelian

      Do you know of any sports talk show that has taken sports medicine physicians to task on steroids? Just look at games, Athletes are frequently triaged and hospitalise but we are supposed to believe Sports medicine physicians, trainers and owners have nothing to do with getting their prized athletes juiced
      That's because Sports journalists who never played are racist latent homosexuals that put the entire burden on athletes.

    For context Iverson had just finished up a season where he averaged 43.7 minutes per game while playing with a broken hand. That is more than 10 minutes more than what Giannis averaged this year. In the entire decades of the 80s, the 90s, the 2000s and the 2010s nobody ever averaged that many minutes. In the midst of that he missed one practice and the media killed him for it for the rest of the season. Iverson has his faults but effort was NEVER one of them.

      ​@@meadbert I get your point. For example, look at westbrook, who a couple years back was one of the leaders in minutes as well, he is a pretty good comparison to AI, has not won a championship. IMO hardwork is more than personal output or avg minutes played, it is recognizing your leadership role as a star player and using it to further elevate yourself, which unlike Giannis, its something Westbrook and AI were not able to do. Also no player playing over 40 min could also be because sports medicine has evolved in a positive way in the last decade

    • @ParabolaTool
      @ParabolaTool 5 років тому +8

      You're objectively wrong. Internet memes existed long before this shit. Yes, not to the level they are now but there was an internet culture evolving over time. The fact that it wasn't available to everyone doesn't make it not a meme... it was just the culture of that subgroup that reached a smaller amount of people. Kind of like how any community has jokes that are inclusive to themselves that outsiders wouldn't get.
      Not only did the internet have a culture and subcultures in the 90's just think about the fact that online gaming existed in the 90's. The first counter-strike came out in 1999. PS2 had netplay in 2001-2002, I think. I used to play SOCOM and FFXI on there. EverQuest came out in 1999. World of Warcraft 2004.
      This video of AI was from what? 2001? But I don't think it even got popular until later on. That's the first internet meme? Yeah dude no. You're just looking at memes now and trying to compare it 1:1 to things 25-30 years ago. Obviously things have changed and expanded.
