So you're saying your middle child is the black sheep of the family. :{

Ha — I was at my neighbor’s surrounded by his teenage daughter and her friends and small talk, asked what bands they were into. His daughter said oh I like classic rock, you know, like Nirvana. Lol

Indiana much more balanced squad but like that Ashlinn went for 22, 4 steals too

what? Bossi uses an adjective that just means courageously resolute and it’s questioned? lol, yeah let’s dumb it down!

Gotta like the WNBA and college coaching background. Looks like a nice addition

Right next to the Records and Stu-Demo Bougi-ness aisle

I'm a big grunge fan, my favorite 90's bands were Alice in Chains (Jar of Flies, Dirt, Facelift), Nirvana (Bleach, Nevermind, In Utero) and Soundgarden/Audioslave (everything Cornell). Love me some Foo Fighters and Metallica as well. Definitely like a college kid rocking 90's grunge

Cornell was such an amazing singer / songwriter and guitarist. Really a father of 90's grunge, Soundgarden got it all going.

Vbg = very big grin. Tongue in cheek. But all good

Ok I no longer respect your opinion vbg

I appreciate the difference of opinion and there really is no way to know so end of the day just my opinion. Don’t think you’re comparing the two at the same level of development though, Wemby’s still just a kid. Take the same comparison of MJ in his first couple complete seasons against other greats and he loses - but in his prime? Hard to say anyone stands equal to him (though Kobe seriously has a good argument) that’s more to my point. No one in today’s game can stop Wemby, still a kid, where will he be in his prime? And really a lot of stats on Wilt such as the vert are questionable. Respect your opinion, but disagree if comparing apples to apples. Wemby is a freak of nature

They’d get smoked lol

Any time people try to compare players of past generations it's always next to impossible, in fairness, and the older guys almost always say the greats of back when were better or would manhandle today's greats, it's just human nature and predictable. The idea that Wemby would "ragdoll" Wemby is funny. Shows a complete lack of knowledge and appreciation of Wemby's game and doesn't factor in Wemby's not even in his prime yet. The dude is unreal, literally no one can stop him one on one in today's game, and he's still a kid. I'm old enough (59) to have watched many of the greats over the years and have followed the NBA (and the ABA) my whole life. There's never been anyone like Wemby, he's a complete freak of nature and exceptionally skilled on ball. Can never match guys up from what, 50 plus years ago, but the idea past greats who played in an entirely different league with different rules and most players being no where near the athletes of today's game would "ragdoll" today's greats is just off. MJ is one who most would say would, but he struggled in his early years against I Thomas (who eliminated MJ from the playoffs in 3 straight years) and Bird -- older more experienced and never could see a matchup in their primes. MJ in his prime against Kobe in his prime? Would be a fantastic matchup. Could go on and on, Magic, Shaq, etc. Wemby is different than all of them, physically if he stays healthy, just thinking of him in a couple years of further development and growth? Could run a dynasty like MJ's Bulls.

Wemby’s in just his 3d year in the League (much of one year spent injured), and he’s either the best player or top 3 in the League depending on your viewpoint (mine - best except Jokic would be but for Wemby’s advantages in body type - agility). Better, there’s never been a player remotely like him, truly an alien, to play like a guard at 7’4 is just nuts, add high level outside shooting to the handle and movement / agility to go with inside dominance, just unreal. Wilt was amazing but I’d take Wemby hands down, Wilt never faced anyone like Wemby or for that matter Joker- and Wemby has outplayed Joker multiple times

Quoting the last two paragraphs as they stand out for me as dead on accurate -- it comes down to Burton and Sherrell but this year's team has the pieces to compete in the top half of the B1G. I think they will. Only concern is injury / depth -- and yes that's a concern, but stay healthy and we should be locked in for the NCAA tourney, imo. All of that is fine, but it doesn't matter all that much unless Burton and Sherrell are dudes. Burton, while undersized, is a stone-cold killer. DeVries can build this offense around him. Burton is a crafty, paint-touch machine who could get his shot blocked three times in a row and come right back looking to destroy on the next possession. Fearless is an understatement. Sherrell is a key X-Factor, though. He's shown flashes of being everything you want in a big fella. Sherrell hit 27 treys last year at a 34% clip, and that pick-and-pop game will be vital. He's helpful on the offensive glass, in the short-roll game and as a rim protector. But can he be tough and repeatedly impose his will? Ultimately, an awesome lead guard, multiple serviceable bigs and numerous role players who can shoot should be more than enough to vault Indiana into the top half of the Big Ten with room for more if everything pops.

Yeah sorry no way last year’s team has an answer to Wilt, and on the C’s Russell— those are two of the all time pro greats and we’re talking an IU team that had no answer for college bigs. Wilkerson would give IU a puncher’s chance but that’s it, I don’t care what rules are in play. Not even considering Havlichek, an outstanding all time pro, no one on IU is stopping Wilt or Russel.

Nope! :; Wemby took over, even the refs couldn’t stop him

Called it, Spurs in 6 or 7 - took them 7 bc of the horrifically obvious “favorable@ Thunder officiating— but the better team won. Wemby is hands down the best player in the League and he’s just getting started. Next up, W over Knicks for the title

Good sit down with coach and these two, looking forward to the international trip

Tommy Paul lost too

^^ Yeah the French is so wide open now. No question the heat is the x factor causing the turmoil

Should have included Learner Tien, probably not ready to compete for a title but he’s really starting to jump up the rankings

Kind of strange it's been this quiet, but then we're still in May. Maybe staff's going for a Euro guy to fill in?

It's been a long, loooong time since a US man won the French....

So Sinner, suffering from the extreme heat at Rolland Garros, just lost despite being up 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 -- as in one game away from the match, to #56 Cerundolo. Crazy loss. Huge opening for the U.S. men (and of course others, cough, Djokovilk) -- first time since 2023 that either Sinner or Alcaraz won't win the title at the French Open, and the earliest exit since 2000 for the top seed at the French. So ... Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul, Tiafoe? (Fritz lost in the 1st round) Meanwhile on the women's side Coco's trying to defend her title, she's been rounding into form with her new coach but hasn't won a title yet this year
