I’m glad you brought that up, because I was thinking the same thing.

Oregon has a $2500 tax credit. Add with the $7500 federal and the net cost to me comes down to $41k. Assume $6k in gas/insurance/maintenance savings over an equivalent performance turbo car and it’s competing with a $35k sedan.

“who invented the special and not-at-all generic idea of comparing NBA teams to TV shows and movies? Are you wondering who first came up with this innovative and original idea that nobody else could have thought of?”

Yeah, that’s exactly what the guy above said. 

Same here. 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. He’s been doing the movie analogy thing for ages.

But why the hell did the vet castrate him if the owner didn’t ask for it? That’s just weird.

True, but it’s one of those things that people don’t really care about draft day (or thereabouts) trades.

You can argue Top 50 if you want, but saying he’s outside Top 100 is over the top.

Where did KAT rank?

By tying VC to attribute improvement, it suggests that subservience to brands is, in effect, a basketball skill. That would be just as gross—and just as unrealistic!—if the brands were fake.

It’s not. This is just a trick!

Luckily, he managed to leave and went on to have a Hall of Fame career.

So they’re best known for being unoriginal and ripping off the work of others?
