The Giannis Vs Jokic conversation will be heated because both players do things the other simply cannot do. Jokic is able to create offense in a way Giannis could not dream of and Giannis is one of the best off-ball defenders ever.
As I’ve always stated: playmaking and shot creation are the most important parts of basketball for me and Jokic is an all-time great at both. If Jokic is able to be a positive (2023) or neutral defender in a playoff run while also being able to create all-time level offense then I think Jokic can reach levels Giannis cannot vs elite defenses.
But Giannis ability to roam (alley oop block vs the Suns) is literally uncanny and his presence as a DPOY player can’t be overstated.
But quite simplest let me ask this: Has there EVER been a player who has an argument for best scorer, best playmaker, best passer and best rebounder all at the same time? Because Jokic does and has shown that over multiple playoff runs.
Ultimately, the next several years will decide this debate but at this juncture I think it’s clear that Jokic has less flaws in a playoff setting than Giannis does and Jokic is just able to do things vs ANY level of playoff defense that only 3-4 (Jordan, Bron and Steph) could ever touch.

And 43 years later, it comes out. To sabotage Carter's reelection, the Reagan camp went to the Middle-East "to deliver a blunt message to be passed to Iran: Don’t release the hostages before the election. Mr. Reagan will win and give you a better deal."

Harden 2019 on the left, Luka on the right. They're both high usage ballhandlers with a penchant for stepback threes and passing, but that's where the stylistic similarities end.

DEcentralization has proven itself to be a farce and those that say it are farceurs. If you are not appreciating the world is being cartelized, that America won the world, China has the next biggest piece and rest of the world is vying for 3rd place, youre delusional.

This is from 1932. They understood the proper way to defend was to turn and run, not step slide. Crazy how fundamentals changed over the years, and not necessarily for the better. Almost 100 years later, we finally figured out Nat Holman was right.

If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL.
If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included. We all saw it, even they must know this isn't right

Westoids will say they support Taiwan separatism then honor Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek never saw himself as Taiwanese, but someone from Zhejiang. Taiwanese people certainly didn't view him as Taiwanese either. Not to mention, separatism was illegal under his rule.

1. The attention surrounding Pelosi’s trip has prompted a lot of ill-informed analogies about Taiwan. Rather than curse the darkness, I’m going to try to light a candle with a brief and hopefully reasonably objective thread on Taiwan’s history.

There were two times in the past century where US nationwide home prices fell a double digit % in nominal terms.
First: 1928-1933 ~26% down
(recover to prior highs by 1943)
Second: 2006-2012 ~26% down
(recover to prior highs by 2017)
All other periods flattish or up.

Please be careful. 22 years ago, one of the Russians getting a Western visa was me, along with my family. This gave my dad a chance to start a great business and gave me a chance to grow up without the influence of zombie ideology.
We should not throw such possibilities away.

I am of the view that #UkraineWar generally reduces the risk of a near-term military conflict over the Taiwan Strait, but new uncertainties are rising too. We need to keep eyes wide open to avoid sleepwalking into a war over Taiwan. A thread🧵:
