NBA Stat of the Day: Larry Bird made 729 3 pt shots in his career - Strongbad Feb 28, 03:43 10
- Such a different game today. - Krusty Feb 28, 05:13 7
  - For shooting skill set, he is already the GOAT. As a complete player, Larry was better than all but a handful ever. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 05:18 6
    - He hasn't played long enough to be the GOAT of anything. He's amazing from behind the arc but that's where it ends right now. - Krusty Feb 28, 05:23 5
      - This soft league is such a big help for him. It's a different game today that allows him to dominate the way he is right now. - Krusty Feb 28, 05:26 4
        
        Given Birds back gave out at 33, I am fine with the game being softer., aka less thuggish. You wanna hand check him 35 feet out go ahead. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 05:39
        
        I don't know. It's not like he hangs out under the basket, he's 30-40 feet away how would they be able to kick his ass? -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 05:35 2
        
        He does drive to the basket pretty often and those would end up with him on his back and every screen would be painful. - Krusty Feb 28, 05:39 1
        
        NBA guys like each other too much these days. They've known and played with each other for years starting when they were kids. - Krusty Feb 28, 05:42

So I just watched "Cop Out". It was pretty good. Good enough to keep me from switching to my other choice ... - Beryllium Feb 28, 00:26 5
- The Rundown is Oscar worthy in comparison. A fantastic movie -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 03:45 2
  - Yes, but I'd already seen it, I hadn't seen cop out ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 28, 07:43 1
    - ahh that is ok then :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 08:20

  - The character is Hungarian, but I wouldn't know a Dutch or Hungarian accent to tell if the actress gets it right. -- (link) - TWuG Feb 27, 22:44 2
    - The actress is Dutch and doesn't appear to be trying to do anything other than speak in her normal voice. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 22:52 1
      - I was curious so I looked for videos and she speaks flawless English - TWuG Feb 27, 23:11 [youtube]

Warriors clinched a playoff spot. It's February. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 27, 21:10 4
- What was amazing is Andre Iguodala had to hit 2 Free Throws to send it into OT. He is a horrible free throw shooter - amoxy Feb 27, 22:28
- When do the playoffs start? Sounds like it's going to be madness of some sort or another ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 27, 21:15 2

- 12 for 16 from 3. 2 for 8 from 2. - Will Hunting Feb 27, 21:10 2
  - He should have a shock collar that goes off if he goes inside the arc. -- nm - Reagen Feb 27, 21:12 1
    - That stat that had him 35-52 from 28ft+ makes him more efficient from "you're benched" range than a perfect shooter from 2. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 01:23

I have to say, having never played the original Pokemon game, it's quite a bit of fun even if it shows explicitly nothing's much changed in 20 years. -- nm - Qale Feb 27, 19:50 2
