[quote]Lebron at 39 was a more efficient scorer than prime Jordan. Lebron shot 54% FG% this year, Jordan's highest was 53.8%. I'd still take prime Jordan all day, but that's a wild stat.[/quote] It's really not all that wild. In the 1997-98 season (the year they started keeping stats of shot...

[quote]I felt like they needed to explain how the Baron broke him down if these people were seen as unbreakable and why were they seen as unbreakable? What made them that way? So he caused the murder of thousands for a chance at killing the Baron? Still not satisfied but appreciate the explanation. ...
[quote]The Baron figured out that he could use Yueh’s love for Wanna to break the conditioning but had to keep that very quiet and dispose of Yueh afterward lest that open a massive can of worms.

re: New Amp - Friedman JEL20

Congrats! That thing is a beast I bet. Closest I've come to that is a Friedman BE 50 profile on the Kemper which is absolutely glorious (not sure how close it is to the real thing). ...

[quote]There are great profiles available on the rig exchange, you don’t need TJ or Britt to get a great one. [/quote] Agree, my Kemper has stayed on the new free M Britt liquid profile of a Fender Twin since they released it. If i was looking at a small form factor for trade shows I'd look ...

re: Fingerpicking

Posted by Stan Switek on 12/10/23 at 8:43 am

re: Off the Wall or Thriller?

Posted by Stan Switek on 11/11/23 at 10:09 am
I prefer OTW, it's more R&B/Soul than Thriller (Working Day and Night, Don't Stop Til You Get Enough), its ballad is better (She's Out of My Life is better than Lady in My Life), and Jackson just seems to be having a much better time on OTW than Thriller....
Scruggs is an amazing guitarist in his own right, and an excellent steel guitar player as well. ...

I'm an older, beginner "runner" who struggles with heart rate getting too high. I've done zone 2 training that slowly has increased my VO2 max. I then tried a 3-4 day a week schedule where the direction was just to "run easy", which actually resulted in my 5k time increasing (despite my HR zone be...

[quote]The exposure to so many genres gave a base of appreciation for most music before and after.[/quote] Maybe this is why the 1970s were a high point for not just rock but a lot of those other forms of music as well. ...
