    Start watching and stop shitposting. Your knowledge of the game will grow as your reaction score doesn't.

    Vince Carter is the only other player who has played as long as LeBron in the history of the NBA. Two players out of slightly over 5,000.

    If you did watch with regularity you would recognize the toll that the game takes on the players' bodies. It might be more edifying than shitposting to get reaction scores on GH.

    Going into their fifth year or, in Jordan's case, fifth year equivalent (college and pro), Kobe had played 266 games, MJ had played 187 games and KG played 286 games. Ant played 302 games.

    The future is now because at 23 Ant has logged a huge number of minutes. His career, in terms of injuries and availability, is likely to follow the same arc as KAT's. The first 4-5 years in the league KAT didn't miss games and he played heavy minutes. KAT averaged about 80 games/year his...

    Doogie on Wolves ownership situation: Marc and Alex always had a compelling arbitration case. Lawyers were summoned back to town on Fri. Jan. 10th.

    Neither side can afford to risk an all or nothing scenario. There will be a negotiated settlement. My guess is Lore/ARod/Bloomberg buy the team for $2B. Taylor gets more money and probably avoids lawsuits from his limiteds. Lore/ARod/Bloomberg are buying the asset at well below market. I...

    Connelly made one excellent deal. The rest has been problematic.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Let's give Ben and the team some credit. They have beaten two good teams in a row. Tonight they played a strategically sound game with few turnovers and some incredibly lucky bounces on their FT's. Good on them.

    I think we will see more of Dillingham, even though he doesn't have a clue on defense. He can create his own shot. Finch has no choice at this point.

    Typical reaction to win

    Just seeing this. After the gopher win I was humming "One Shining Moment." Thank goodness you brought me back to reality.

    The reason they looked like a team is perhaps Randle is getting the message. He actually moved the ball last night. Let's see if it was an isolated occurrence or he continues team basketball tonight.

    Gophers men’s basketball team airs frustration in players-led meeting after loss at Wisconsin

    NU and WI have coaches who were well established before NIL. We don't know how much NIL money Northwestern has because it's private. WI has more NIL money and more total support than the gophers. I don't know anything about the PSU situation other than they have almost twice as much NIL money...

    Gophers men’s basketball team airs frustration in players-led meeting after loss at Wisconsin

    Ah, yes. The whole "coach 'em up" thing. Not with this group. I don't feel sorry for Johnson. The gig has paid him very well. He is a decent recruiter. Didn't have the $ to keep any of them except Garcia.

    Gophers men’s basketball team airs frustration in players-led meeting after loss at Wisconsin

    Izzo and Painter would have started Asuma weeks ago. Otherwise, I'm not sure they could do much more with this group than what Johnson has done. They are that bad. When Ben took the job the program was under resourced, but no worse than it had always been. They had a new practice facility...

    Gophers men’s basketball team airs frustration in players-led meeting after loss at Wisconsin

    It's really not that much about the coaching. (Not defending Ben.) They have one of the least talented major school rosters I've ever seen. Garcia is pretty good. A fourth or fifth option (or a sixth man) on a top 25 team. There's a good basketball player inside of Asuma somewhere...

    Shooter: Alumni and assorted boosters are pushing Ryan Saunders, the ex-Gopher who is an assistant for the Denver Nuggets, for the Gophers head job.

    Great idea. Never recruited. Never really played. At least 15 years removed from the college game. Was badly over matched in his one HC gig. Now....if he can get his pal KAT to leave the Knicks and join the gophers...

    Esthetically and dramatically, he's a great clutch player. Probably second only to Curry. Statistically, he's not.

    It's always high drama when Ant does successfully close a game because he's a super charismatic player. He knows how to engage the crowd, home or away. However, the numbers are accurate. I was at the game Sunday night and he was pulling those shots out of his ass. Vintage Ant. Crowd going...
