The_Taskmaker@alien.topBto NBA - Main@nba.space•Despite the loss, Tyrese Maxey puts up a big opening night performance: 31 PTS, 4 REB, 8 AST, 0 TOV, 2 STL; 10-22 FG, 3-8 3PT, 8-10 FTEnglish1·2 years agoI remember getting down voted into oblivion in a thread for ranking Maxey above Poole and Herro. He’s the only one of the 3 to possess an elite trait (speed), and has shown better, more consistent shooting while being the only one of the 3 to continuously improve. Felt like an easy call
The_Taskmaker@alien.topBto NBA - Main@nba.space•Charles Barkley asks Adam Silver about the domestic violence issues within the NBAEnglish1·2 years agoDoes anyone know how the NBA’s domestic violence frequency compares with that of comparably high earners? I remember that being brought up in response to the NFL’s consistently high domestic violence rates which are actually more or less in line with the average for people with comparable earnings.
I.e. this is a rich asshole thing, not an aggressive athlete thing. Posturing like athletes are disproportionately committing domestic violence is a disingenuous portrayal of the issue imo.
But the age of consent can vary over literal miles. A person in the US can be legally banging in one spot but if it happened a few miles over the state border then it’s now rape… Lumping that in with forceful rape is just wild and diminishes one of the actual worst offenses a human being can commit.
