A lot like here.  He used his first amendment rights to make a statement.  Others used their first amendment rights to judge that statement.

Avast learning and growth opportunity for Josh and Caedin.  Going to need to match Seton Hall's physicality.

Quote from: The Equalizer on Today at 03:32:36 PMI can't imagine Seton Hall ever playing as soft and tentative as Creighton did. Not saying that we don't stand a chance---but I would be shocked if Seton Hall winds up with only 4 FT attempts for the game. 

Fair point. SH broke their 4 game losing streak and are going to feel invincible. Xavier never recovered in the 2nd half. They look dazed.

Not just Nigel but also Parham, Stevens, and a refurbished Ross among others know that they can win and their confidence needs to travel with them on Saturday. I expect a hell of a fight. I hope our guys can finally get two in a row vs. major conference teams and our first road win. If not, make SH earn the W.

This is all made silly because hundreds of players and administrators retire each year and there are typically nine inductees maximum per year.  There will always be snubs, and without expansion of numbers a lot of guys will never see their bust in Canton.

Also, he can make jokes. He just, apparently, can't make a living doing it.

Quote from: Scoop Snoop on Today at 08:57:14 AMSeton Hall was impressive last night. Down by as much as 13 in the 1st half and then mowed Xavier down in the 2nd half and won by 18. Wow!

I think Marquette is going to need a rerun of the Creighton game to win this one. Let's kick some Pirate booty.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 02:40:17 PMThe Athletics' Bucks reporter, Eric Nehm, was discussing possible trade scenarios, and casually referred to Giannis as "the best player in franchise history."

Given that Kareem is regularly mentioned as a top-5 all-time player and Giannis is not, I found that interesting.

I get that Giannis is in his 13th season while Kareem was a Buck for only 6 years - and that matters a ton - but in those six years, Kareem averaged 30.4 ppg, 15.3 rpg, 4.3 apg and 3.4 blocks. He won 3 MVPs and was top-5 in MVP voting his other three years. He also played an average of 78 games per season, and averaged 43 minutes in those games.

Giannis also has great stats and honors across the board. Not quite as impressive as Kareem's, but still incredible and, again, he's been with the Bucks more than twice as long as Kareem was.   

Kareem was 22 years old his first year with the Bucks, and eras are different.  Players in that era played more games and more minutes per game.

Starting with Giannis's age 22 season and looking at 6 years from that, he averaged 70 games played per season, and that includes a season shortened by COVID. He averaged 26.2 points, 11.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.4 blocks in 33.7 minutes per game (so almost 25% less time on the court).  He won 2 MVPs, finished 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th the other 4 years, won a DPOY, finished 2nd, 5th, and 6th in DPOY voting 3 of the other seasons, and while I love Khris and Jrue, never played with a future HOFer, let alone someone like Oscar Robertson.  The Bucks had 3 Hall of Famers on the roster when they won the title with Kareem, the Bucks had 1 when they won the title with Giannis.

And like you said, he's been in over Milwaukee twice as long and has been a top 5 player in the NBA every year since 2018-2019.  He leads the franchise in basically every statistical category in its history.  I don't really think there's any question he's the best player in Bucks history.

Quote from: mileskishnish72 on Today at 01:26:14 PMNash play any D? Seems like all we hear about is his shot.

In one of his weekly shows, Shaka referred that Nash is on an organized weight program for the first time in his life.  IMO, he is probably a one trick pony right now.  He has 10 months before it matters.

From The Athletic:

Vahe Gregorian, a columnist for The Kansas City Star, wrote that his decision not to cast a vote for Bill Belichick had nothing to do with Spygate, Deflategate or any other controversy. He instead gave his maximum allotment of votes to decades-old players who "have been long deserving of induction": running back Roger Craig, linebacker L.C. Greenwood and quarterback Ken Anderson. He thereby had to "snub" Belichick and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Voters had two groups to evaluate: 15 modern-era players and five in a seniors category, which included Belichick, Kraft, Craig, Greenwood and Anderson. Voters could choose up to five modern-era players and one to three senior candidates.

Gregorian wrote that there is an "overwhelming" backlog of players who have not been enshrined, including "approximately 60 one-time all-decade players," the vast majority of whom might never come up in the annual five-person seniors category.

Gregorian pointed out that three of the six senior candidates who missed out on Canton in the past two years did not reappear among the following year's finalists. The implication? A candidate might only get one shot to be voted in from the senior category.

"All of that went into why I felt duty-bound to vote for the richly deserving seniors, who most likely won't ever have a hearing again as more senior candidates enter the pool and fresh cases get made for others," Gregorian wrote.

As for Belichick, Gregorian said he "is inevitable soon ... as he should be. At the risk of contradicting my own vote, really, he shouldn't even have to wait."

He made jokes. They sucked and he didn't read the room.   A tale as old as time.
