Bryce Cotton Making Most of Opportunity

I can personally handle the lyrics and I think JazzFanz ought to allow those sorts of videos to be posted with a warning that you should mute your sound if you are offended by foul language, but they don't. Instead they give out infractions if you post or even link to content that doesn't comply with site rules. I wanted to prevent that from happening to you because I enjoy the info you've been bringing to us.

Well, I appreciate that, Joe. Here's a new piece from Fanside Purple and Blues:

To me it has nothing to do with "handling" the lyrics, as if tolerating bad language is some kind of weird macho thing that proves someone is not weak. Some people don't like it, and that's fine. The rules are no, so respect the rules. But if it makes people feel macho to blast music throwing F-bombs around instead of actual lyrics, more power to them I guess. And more's the pity.

The point is that he posted the video for the images, not the sounds. I enjoyed the images. The sounds sucked until I turned them off. That's how to handle them.

You know, when I first watched that video, quite a while ago, I was immediately disappointed that it had to start right off with a variation of the F bomb. I was like "gee, thanks, we needed that". It's gone, and just as well. Never intended to break rules, but I'm sure I didn't read 'em cover to cover either. I know I didn't. Don't get me wrong, not trying to rationalize my decision to post it. I just decided since it was the best image quality for the age of the clips, I'd overlook the language, since it wasn't every other word, just 2-3 times I think. I'm glad it was pointed out, and it would have been gone yesterday if I'd come back to the thread sooner. I knew, and I should have listened to the little voice saying "naw, not that one":-)

Edit: just to make it clear, I exercised poor judgement, I regret it, and I apologize if anyone was offended.

"Utah Jazz point guard Bryce Cotton doesn’t have a whole bunch of NBA credentials to his name, but boy does the 22-year-old have some bounce.

On Tuesday, P3 Sports Science posted a clip of Cotton flexing his 45-inch max vert, which is tied for the highest ever recorded at the institute. For context, Cotton got higher than both Zach LaVine, Andrew Wiggins and teammate Jeremy Evans who each hit 44 inches.

Hopefully we get to see more of Cotton’s hops out on the break next season."

Two things:
First, Bleacher Report writers don't seem to know what "both" means.

Second, does anybody know how they are measuring max vert? Are they recording how high his feet are off the ground, or are they computing the difference between how high his hand reaches on this jump and how high his standing reach is?
