hopefully Giannis will improve more, his free throw shooting is the most important that has to be improve, next is his awkward 3 point shooting style.

No need to improve that awkward 3 point shooting. What for? It will be enhanced along the way. Why should we ask for that? He was able to reach his achievement without that best 3 point shooting stroke.

Focus instead on his specialty which is dominating the inside within paint. He's improving his perimeter shot slowly and his free throw. It's not necessary for him to improve at all aspects. There's no player like that and that was too much to ask.
The addition of the perimeter shots will be the best one if ever he will enhance it.
Being a threat on that field gives him more room to move if ever a defender gets close to him preventing him to shoot.
I mean look at Jokic, you can't leave him in a 1-meter guard position because he can shoot.
But there a big difference, Giannis is faster, he can jump, take the contact, and still make the shot. The Bucks can create their own Frankenstein.  Grin

Like our new #Bitcoin hardware wallet, we’re going to do this completely in the open. Open roadmap, open development, and open source. @brockm is leading and building this team, and we have some ideas around the initial platform primitives we want to build.
If it's in his own profit or not it's obvious he is still a supporter, a big one. I see some hypocrites here trying to say it's just for him. Won't you do it if you have that name and Bitcoin in your stash? I will!

Shaq has passed the torch on to Giannis, and we know this man is not easily pleased but look what he said on Twitter.
Oh, God. That's good to hear.
Shaq recognizing Giannis' skills inside the paint.
We have never seen such a good season now with Jokic and Giannis playing like it's back to the '80-'90s game.
Post-up game forcing for only a deuce and not settling for a three.
One with the soft touch while the other with the hardcore slamming his way to make a score.
I think that's why he got a lot of free throws, defenders forgot how to guard below the rim or there is just nobody that can stop him.
1864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 24, 2021, 06:13:02 PM
I think Giannis has to respect Lebron and Durant, they join a team because they want to win a championship and it's not illegal, if he does not want to be criticized, he should not talk sh*t about other superstars, did Giannis want to hear that he only won because his team was playing against an injured Brooklyn Nets?
That's true. He should not boast about it too much since it's only his first championship.
What if it will also be the last? Then he will swallow his own words.

With respect to others who have won it even like Danny Green, Robert Horry, and even Steve Kerr.
Those guys may have been lucky or Steve just going for a winning shot but those are still efforts.
Any player in one team who won a championship has gone thru rigorous training with them off-camera so they also had their share of a team being a champion.

Always been and always will be.  Grin
Whenever the Bitcoin price goes down FUD will be spread just like what you are experiencing now.
Then, they will be silent when it pumps again.
Of course, they will stay negative without profits coming in their pockets but this is like an event that happened even before and will keep on happening until the price of Bitcoin becomes stable. When is that? I have no clue, I might even be dead by that time.
1866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Did you really miss it? on: July 24, 2021, 04:17:00 AM
I missed Bitcoin but not Ethereum.  Cool

Bought it at $267 to be exact and didn't let it go up until now. It's not that I don't want any profit or am afraid of selling and being late to buy back when a dump happens. It's just that, it's one of the good choices for long-term investments and besides, I am not really good at trading.
But Dogecoin? No, thank you. Just be careful when you buy it, make sure you are just making profits and not keeping it long-term because it may fail at that section.

Could this be the end up super teams? Likely not but we shall see.

The idea of building a superteam will always be associated with the league while it's moving forward. As I mentioned before way back here, having a set of good role players is much better compare to having 2-3 superstars on a team so I don't really mind these superteams.

I really don't take it as superteams are unbeatable and a sure win to the championship due to several factors such as;

a) injuries and we all saw it these playoffs creating lots of "what if" scenarios
b) underperforming (choke)
c) big adjustment by the opposing team
d) sudden chemistry problem

and many more..
Jealousy.  Road to MVP contest in one team.

Superteams are like villains of the game. It also takes out the fun and balance of the whole association. They input a salary cap for that reason.
They can't go hiring every star player out there then end up with just 5 players who can really play basketball.
A team needs someone to back him up whenever one needs a breather or an accident happens. I think Bobby Portis Jr. is a good example of this event.
Whenever Giannis needs a breather he is always ready and he stepped up his game when he was injured.
1868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 23, 2021, 04:52:20 PM
Just awkward and funny to think though, Booker + Middleton + Holiday all Olympic bound and could possibility in the same plane going to Japan.  Grin. Last game they tried to kill each other and now they are team mates and possible to bring home another Olympic basketball gold for the US team.  Grin.
But I think those three Olympians will be okay.
After the Game 6 end buzzer I saw Booker stayed and congratulate the Bucks team, unlike CP3 who made his way to the dugout. No butthurt for Booker but it was a lot for CP3 because of his age.

I also read rumours of CP3 or Russell Westbrook teaming up in Lakers jersey. For now it's a fantasy, but who knows, maybe Westbrook is willing to be traded again in the West. But it will cost a lot from the Lakers.
The Lakers' salary cap will be the issue here. They will have to let go of a lot of their players to acquire those big names.
Oh, and the Lakers are already making some moves this early. Here is one.

The qualifying offer for Horton-Tucker is $1.9 million, according to ESPN front office insider Bobby Marks, and will make the 20 year old a restricted free agent, allowing the Lakers to match any outside offer to retain their former second-round pick.

I think I am on the mix of Faithist and Opportunist. Actually, as you defined it they are almost the same.
Faithist will also try to take the opportunity to buy more when the price is in the range of their target.
The only difference is the former one will keep it while the latter will sell it.

I have nothing against any beliefs or whatever they are called, if we are all the same then we may never find a volatile market anymore. I guess that proves we are still free.
1870  Economy / Speculation / Re: the next checkpoint $13,800 on: July 23, 2021, 12:41:42 PM
Opportunity is too rare when we talk about Bitcoin. I had my share of regrets too.
There is no exact measure of time into when it will be dumped again or better, pumped.
That's why I have taken the risk when it fell to 29k-ish which I think was too low and should be the purchasing point for every investor who believes it will be profitable for the next month or two.
It was. I am 3k up already and I don't mind selling but IMO, there's still room for a move up.
1871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take for a game to "hook" people on: July 23, 2021, 10:26:31 AM
It is true that a hook requires an emotional response and taking into account that people can get very emotional when they earn and lose money then it is easy to see that every single gambling game has the chance to hook up a player, which game people tend to prefer will depend on their personality, personally I prefer games in which I have to think so games in which I have to play against other players like poker or sport bets are the games that I prefer.
Yes. Sometimes it doesn't even matter how shitty the game will be.
If you like it, you just go for it and play it.
Horse racing for example as many gamblers are also into it. But for me, I don't even understand what the hell is happening there. I know it's a simple race but there are different kinds of bets like pairing who will be first and second or the last and second to the last. Still, I can't understand how they are analyzing it.

You gotta love it, I think that's one good reason to be hooked on a game.
1872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What nft functions can you think of? on: July 23, 2021, 08:47:56 AM
Games and Arts. That's the only thing I could think of. Because they are more known for collectibles.
It's just a different type now since every collectible will ensure your ownership thru online or computerized items.

I like it more being added to games. Somehow are items in-game will have value unlike before where we just play get some rare items then if it ends we just lose it all including our wasted time and money.
1873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 22, 2021, 01:51:44 PM
Perhaps someone in the middle that can alternate Ayton, at least a solid center, in the breed of like Dwight Howard, will be a big help for the Suns to improved next season.

I think Booker will be developed into a well rounded player in the next 2-3 years when he hits his prime years. I'm seeing another Kobe in him.
No doubt. He just needs more help. Ayton can't handle all those big from the Bucks. One will box him and the other will dominate the rebound. There is just no one out there who can take an offensive rebound other than him.

Booker on the other hand is still young. There's so much future with that young guy and I believe someday he will also be a champion. Although I think it will not be CP3 by his side but a high chance it could be Ayton.
They are a good combo already if Booker can increase their chemistry.
1874  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is Happier: Stock investors or Bitcoin investors on: July 22, 2021, 01:14:00 PM
Who knows?!
I can be happier than them even with my average salary every month.
Money can't buy anything. But the question of who is more successful in investing their money then it is with those who kept their Bitcoins. Why? You made it this far with just a little amount of time.
12 years? 10? 5?
I'd be happy with that and there is the truth that you held those bitcoins unlike with stocks.
1875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 21, 2021, 11:04:14 PM
Social media is already going crazy with rumors about who is next to join the Lakers. Christ Paul, Russell Westbrook, & Damian Lillard all being mentioned as strong candidates. Personally, I’m not sure we’ll see Chris Paul opt out of his contract. He’s got too much money left. I don’t think they have the assets to get Dame either. Westbrook looks like a decent possibility today though. It would be an interesting pairing with LeBron. I don’t think they fit well together but the talent level would be amazing.
I read one news that Magic Johnson said Chris Paul was too pricy for them.
There won't be any room for other good players if they will sign him up. It will be the same with Dame but WB might lower his price for a championship chance.

How about the Unicorn? I also read he was not happy about the Dallas team especially Doncic.
The plays for him are also not good since they just want him to stay at the corner waiting for the ball and they don't mix him up with the pick and roll plays. They will have a new coach now (Jason Kidd) and a new GM Nico Harrison.
Perhaps that could change something if he decides to stay.

Or, if you are having a difficult time using the methods said above, you could use BNB wallet directly or Trust Wallet which is also supported with Binance. In fact, they own it.
You could use its own browser inside the application and just browse pancakeswap.
That way, it will be connected directly and you can purchase whatever coin you prefer without the inconvenience of logging in.

Question:   2021 NBA Champion?
Milwaukee Bucks - 10 (40%)
Phoenix Suns - 15 (60%)
Total Voters: 25

I see some people voted after Bucks sealed the championship. Grin I should've locked it before the game.
Yes. The last time I checked it was not like that. I think it was 15-5 in favor of the Phoenix Suns.  Grin
Next stop, NBA Draft Pick. Who of those youngsters are you eyeing for to be the next Giannis Antetokounmpo who could achieve a championship at an early age.
 
Cade Cunningham - 6'8 Almost a complete package.
Evan Mobley - 7'0 - Who needs a center?  Grin
Jalen Green 6'5 - Ballhandler/Playmaker
Or maybe one of these guys.
Quote
Twenty players have received invitations to attend the 2021 NBA draft and sit in the green room, sources told ESPN.

Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Evan Mobley, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Kuminga, Scottie Barnes, Davion Mitchell, James Bouknight, Keon Johnson, Franz Wagner, Josh Giddey, Jalen Johnson, Corey Kispert, Moses Moody and Kai Jones received the first batch of 15 invites last week, with Alperen Sengun, Cameron Thomas, Ziaire Williams, Chris Duarte and Isaiah Jackson receiving the final five nods.

Well, good news for gamers because the prices are going to go down for this models. Also, will it be loophole to buy it from a state that doesn't ban it and then move it to the state that has a ban on it? I mean you aren't crossing any borders to be checked right?
I don't think the value of it will go down. They will just sell it to another state at the same price.
That just means more availability for them as most people now are looking forward to high-end models but are having trouble purchasing with rarity or stock issues.

Again with the political attack even in this pandemic. Not everything is for cryptocurrencies but some just need a better model for ease with their work, and of course gaming.  Grin

1879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 21, 2021, 08:23:55 AM
In the end, Giannis was just too much to handle.  Was funny hearing him talk about his brother winning a ring with the Lakers last year and it being awkward at the dinner table.  Amazing that he had such skill that he literally carried his brothers with him from poverty to the NBA and got them both championship rings.  His story has got to be one of the best ones in the NBA and this championship is well deserved for him.  When all is said and done for him, they're going to make one hell of a documentary about his life.
He is. Ayton got a lot of a hard time stopping him and so is Jae Crowder.
It just puts them in foul trouble if they try to challenge every shot he will make under the rim.
The Suns need more forwards in their team. The big ones. They cannot go small ball with just Ayton in the center.
Saric could have been a lot of help if only he was not injured. A shooter that could spread the floor with a height that could somehow stop the bleeding that Giannis made.

Well, congratulations to the Bucks and the fans. Nicely done.
1880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling attracted to emotion or luck on: July 20, 2021, 12:54:15 PM
Is the preparation correct?
I do sports gambling most of the time and I use analysis from different persons who are good at it.
But that's just the background and the final decision will always be mine.
Emotions change my decisions if I am a big fan of the team playing the game. That's when I can say I lost it because of my own carelessness but the perks of it will be the fun it will give while watching the game live.
So it's still a winning case for me.
If I win my bets with analysis, I can say it's not luck. So ask yourself again if you did it correctly.
