[Ron Mexico]

I got the Pfizer, since I've started glowing in the dark I've saved a fortune on electricity at night.

No sneaking up on the girlfriend now at night, haha.

Hopefully the clippers and Mavs beat the piss out of each other and go to 7

This.
So far so good

Draymond is in his own category. Most versatile or complete defensive player? Yeah, I'd give that to Dray. But that doesn't change the mathematical reality of what Gobert does to the game, and unlike Dray, he hasn't burned himself out doing so.

Its a different era but I think Rodman was just as versatile and better.

 

[Jazz Fusion]

Conley is so damn good. He just brings such a steady and calming presence down the stretch of close games. The pressure doesn't get to him at all, so clutch.

Did a fantastic job settling things down in crunch time.

Eh dude don't get me started on women, there's a reason I'm drinking alone at 3pm...

I don't know why but it kind of made me think of the Germans and Jaeger. Many of them literally think of it as medicinal. I knew more than a few Mormons even who had a bottle of Jaeger and even offered me some as a missionary when I had a really bad cold. Happened when we lived there in 2015 as well. The cultural drinking (and eating) differences are interesting for sure.

Yeah, I think its pretty similar. There is certain alcoholic drinks for certain sicknesses here. Mostly they think hot water cures everything. I hate when its 100 degrees outside and im thirsty and they give me hot hot water. They are like it will cool you off because it will make you sweat and the wind will cool you. Hey, dumbass I am drenched in sweat.

Can we get Niang treatment for Bryon Russell disease before game 5?

Perhaps. I guess I give the edge to Dray since his contributions were less narrow.

Pippen, Dream, The Admiral, Big Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard, and Bruce Bowen were all fantastic defenders. Bowen was like Velcro. Pippen was ridiculous in the passing lanes such a disrupter. Dream and The Admiral blocked the paint. I think the Admiral and Rudy were very similar in their length and agility. Big Ben was one of the most interesting players I’ve ever seen.

I was too young to appreciate him, but I remember Gary Payton being a really good man to man defender. Did he ever win DPOY?

 

[NUMBERICA]

Draymond recently said he's the best defender ever. For me, players I seen its a three way dance between Rudy, Rodman and Mutombo

Hakeem is first, Rudy is second, Mutombo is third. Rodman and Dray are elite but are in a different category and are simply not as impactful.
