How To Destroy Pro Baseball 101, MLB Makes Ridiculous Rule Changes But Their Achilles’ Heel Remains Pushing Leftism
Published
2 years agoon
We weren’t around in 2022, so we couldn’t tell you then what we thought about Major League Baseball (MLB). We still can’t tell you now because we are in the first paragraph and we have a rule about cursing, but it only applies to the main meme / picture, article title and first paragraph. The rule is there since those are the most visible parts of the overall article structure, especially in search engines.
Now that we are safely in the second paragraph, MLB sucks. They are openly pushing for the trans’ing of kids, support the Marxist BLM movement, take performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), are replacing Americans, and cheat like little bitches.
The Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, and New York Yankees are all known to have cheated in the recent past by using video cameras to steal signs, and the Astros claim that approximately 8 other teams did so as well.
MLB also didn’t even have a commissioner from 1998 to 2015, which is when Milwaukee Brewers OWNER Allan Huber ‘Bud’ Selig cosplayed as commissioner. The decline started under that fucker, and has only accelerated under Robert Dean ‘Rob’ Manfred Jr.
In 2022, ‘Rob’ implemented ridiculous changes following a new ‘collective bargaining agreement’ (CBA), and slowly the game we grew up loving is morphing into an ugly bastardization of itself, much like Pablo Picasso did to art.
“Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.” –tate.org.uk
So, in a nutshell, abstract art is art for people who can’t draw or paint properly, and now MLB is baseball for people who can’t play real baseball.
The American League (AL) was already not playing real baseball, as they implemented the designated hitter (DH) in 1973, which is a player who does nothing but hit, replacing the pitcher in the batting order. As of 2022, the National League (NL) adopted that stupid fucking rule too.
Pitchers should have to hit, as it keeps them honest. We promise you they wouldn’t be so brave on that mound if they had to step into the batter’s box too. Throwing up and in looks a little different when you know it can be done right back to you.
Another change over the years that is a pure money grab is how many teams make the playoffs. It used to be TWO. The AL and NL pennant races were a season-long affair, with ONE winner from each league emerging to then face each other in the World Series.
That lasted from 1903 to 1968. It was all people had and it was good enough. Somehow they survived.
From 1969 to 1993, each league added teams and split into two divisions, and now four teams made the playoffs, two in each of the AL and NL.
1994 is when the wheels came off, with no new teams being added, but each league going from 2 to 3 divisions. This was the excuse for adding a ‘wild card team’ to each league’s playoffs.
In 1998, Selig used two expansion teams coming in and intraleague play beginning to move the team he OWNED into the NL, ostensibly so each league would have an even number of teams. However, as they each had 15, that already allowed for the leagues to play each other…
In 2013, our view was proven correct as the Houston Astros moved from the NL to the AL. The Milwaukee Brewers should have moved back instead, as this left the NL without a team in Texas, which is the entire reason the Astros were put there in 1962!
Effectively, this was the league’s trading teams on a 15 year time delay. Selig is an asshole!
In 2012, they added another ‘wind card team’ to each league. Still, as of today, the worst team to make the playoffs is the 2005 San Diego Padres, who managed to win the NL West with an 82-80 record.
In 2020 and 2021, double-headers were reduced from 9 innings per game to 7 innings per game, but they changed it back to normal in 2022. In 2020, MLB also decided to recognize the Negro League as a ‘major league’ and include their statistics, which was a mistake as they didn’t play in the major leagues, they played in the Negro League.
Notice that despite being made up of major leaguers, the Federal League of 1914 and 1915 operated as a third major league and still hasn’t seen its statistics declared major league by MLB. MLB is racist against white Federal Leaguers.
Also, starting in 2020, and now permanent, is the ‘ghost runner’ for extra innings. The last batter from the previous inning is sent to 2nd base to start the next inning, and if they score it does NOT count as an earned run against the pitcher. Automatically putting someone on base ‘just because’ is incredibly dumb.
Starting in 2022, they added ANOTHER ‘wild card team’ to each league, meaning 12 of 30 (or 40%) of teams now make the playoffs. The one saving grace is no ‘ghost runner’ for playoff games, which begs the question…why for regular season games then?!
MLB won’t be happy until losing teams make the postseason, just like in the NBA and NFL. What Manfred and his chief advisor Theo Epstein are doing to make baseball not-baseball. This game used to be played by MEN!
We detailed the amazing Cy Young (and MLB’s ‘trans’ support) HERE. There isn’t a pitcher today capable of achieving anywhere near to his production. Some more observations: he averaged 34.05 complete games (he had 749!), 23.23 wins and 3.46 shutouts in 334.36 innings per season over his 22-year career. In 2022 there were 35 complete games pitched in all of MLB.
His best season was his third, in 1892, when he pitched 453.0 innings, won 36 games and had 9 shutouts with a 1.93 ERA with 48 complete games. Those were all personal bests…except ERA.
He had 3 lower (1.26, 1.62 and 1.82) and 2 just over that (1.97 and 1.99). The 1.26 was in 1908, 3 years before he retired! He threw 299.0 innings that year with 3 shutouts, winning 21 games with 30 complete games.
45 times in MLB history (10 AL and 35 NL), a pitcher threw complete games in both games of a doubleheader. The last time was in 1926. Cy Young did it once, and was quoted as saying 10-12 pitchers on a team was way too many!
A few pitchers did it twice, and Joe McGinnity did it THREE times and all happened in the same month of the 1903 season! No player alive today is capable of six complete games in 3 days!
In 2023, changes ‘even more stupider’ were made for the upcoming season. For one, they made the bases much larger. They think this will increase the number of stolen bases and hits. They want more baserunners and higher scores.
Another change is banning defensive shifts. I guess that is easier than learning to hit to the opposite field. THAT is a lost art. This should lead to more baserunners and higher scores.
In an effort to decrease game time, they are also adding a pitch clock and limiting pickoff moves, which will force pitchers to work quicker, which should lead to more mistakes, then lead to scores going up as well.
MLB seems adamant that their games reach NBA levels of ridiculousness.
They also added advertising to player uniforms and batting helmets. They are also testing an electronic strike zone system in all 30 Triple-A ballparks this year.
But on the positive side, they made a draft change, adding a lottery to discourage tanking, which is rampant in the NBA, and to some extent the NFL. They are also limiting how many times players can be optioned to the minor leagues, and the schedule will see teams playing at least one series against every other team in both leagues, making it more balanced.
Why would anyone watch a sport that is roughly 40% cheating (12 out of 30 teams)? And some people BET on that ‘sport’ too, which is insane! This isn’t a game that we watch any more, and researching this article was as close as we care to get. They made a grand total of ‘not a penny’ off of us.

‘Taking a Kaep’, More Bewildering Nonsense From Feces-Obsessed Sports Host & Lawyer AND White Communist Mike Florio
Published
1 year agoon
September 29, 2023We have stated before that writing about the same subject more than once in a row is kind of boring, but we’ve done it before anyway. We even once wrote on the same basic topic for FOUR days in a row (HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE).
And sure enough, he lied to get that position and hasn’t followed through on his promises (including releasing the J6 videos, despite leaks proving what the left claim happened in fact did not). But that is a topic for another time.
Today we are (sort of) “Groundhog Day’ing” Mike Florio (just dealt with HERE), while mainly focusing on the ‘anti-Rick Monday‘, Colin Kaepernick (covered prior HERE).
Colin was “28-30 as a starter for his career, and was 3-16 in his last two seasons”. That is NOT a great track record, and the often derided Tim Tebow was actually 8-6.
While correctly admitting that Colin’s NFL career was over, unless someone decides to take a deep dive into both insanity and communism, Florio attributed it to the wrong cause.
The headline was “It’s over for Colin Kaepernick, and it has been”, which on its face sounds reasonable, but as is so often true, ‘the devil is in the details’.
Colin played his last game in the NFL on Saturday, January 2, 2017 (the last regular season game for the 49ers during the 2016 season; Mike claimed the game was played on New Year’s day), leading a 23-25 losing effort against the Seattle Seahawks, ending their season at 2-14.
One leftist search engine doesn’t even list him as a football player. Instead they label him as an “American civil rights activist”, which is code for someone who pushes communism, as nobody right of center is even labeled that, even people championing the 2nd Amendment (because self-defense is the ultimate civil right).
But with the new ‘New York Jets’ QB Aaron Rodgers’ season-ending Achilles injury, Colin decided to both have his agent contact the team, and then when he didn’t hear back he wrote them a letter himself.
After not hearing back for 5 days, the letter was ‘leaked’, obviously by Colin’s camp, in an effort to shame the Jets into replying.
Mike correctly states that “The fact that so much time has passed since he last played…makes it even less likely that anyone will give him a chance.” before then going off of the rails, adding that “It has simply been too long. It has been too long in part because the NFL successfully colluded against and blackballed Kaepernick.”
Colin had a player option for 2017 worth $14.5 MILLION and rejected it. He thought that he could both stay in the league AND make more money by doing so, and he was wrong. So nobody colluded, Colin just fraked himself.
Mike concludes with “That’s the end of the story. The NFL wanted him out. The NFL kept him out. And now, it’s far too long for Kaepernick to get back in.” In Mike’s world, no leftist is ever responsible for their own actions, but it is ALL Colin’s own fault.
But with no NFL team willing to deal with his commie nonsense, he still has options. The British Columbia Lions of the CFL (Canadian Football League) have added Colin to their ‘negotiation list’, although that doesn’t mean anything if he is unwilling to play in Canuckia.
A quick aside: it might bring in more leftist sponsor dollars, but what that meme above alludes to was uncalled for.
Contrast that to recently reading (and we highly recommend them all): ‘Harpo Speaks!’ by Harpo Marx, ‘Speaking of Harpo’ by Susan Fleming Marx (his wife), and ‘Son of Harpo Speaks!’ by William ‘Bill’ Woollcott Marx (his son), along with ‘The Garden of Allah’ by Sheilah Graham (which details life at a now long-gone famous hotel that famous people lived when in when in the Hollywood area, and which is named after the 2nd owner, silent film star Alla Nazimova and NOT the middle-eastern 1400-year-old death cult founder, although after she sold it they added the H to the end, which upset her greatly).
Those can all be found in the archive that Anna runs…
We told you all of that to tell you this…Harpo and Susan couldn’t have children because of a hysterectomy she had in her 20’s for medical reasons, so they adopted all 4 of their children, beginning with Bill, and then adding Alex, Jimmy and Minnie several years later. Those kids appreciated that they were chosen!
But Colin, whose birth parents were a white mother and black father “whose identity is unknown” (despite them knowing he was “of Ghanaian, Nigerian, and Ivorian ancestry”), is simply ungrateful to his adoptive parents, who are both white.
Had Colin spent more time on football (especially in those last couple of seasons), and less time on communism, then the 49ers would likely have won at least a few more games.
And now, since he likes doing it to other people and things (America, the NFL, 49ers, and his parents, to name just a few), in addition to crap, poop, deuce, shit, number two, and BM, we add ‘Kaep’ to the list of ways to describe taking a dump.

Feces-Obsessed Sports Host & Lawyer Goes Off Script, Nobody Cares About Your White Communist Politics Mike Florio!!
Published
1 year agoon
September 28, 2023So we were minding our own business, running some searches, and reading headlines, when we were accosted (luckily not Jim Acosta’ed) by extremism during a sweep of sports news. We don’t watch games any more, but we do still have childhood favorite teams we keep up on.
Imagine our surprise when we were suddenly told that TWITTER (we refuse to go along with that attempted re-branding, and as of this article can still access the site using that name) was filled with white people.
Yes, despite common sense and thousands of years of history proving them wrong, alt-far-left-communist-democRATs are still trying to demonize white people. How racist of them! And it has been going on since President Trump came down the escalator on June 16, 2015.
They are also still trying to demonize being a nationalist, despite that phrase simply meaning someone who loves their own country more than any others.
They have also tried to merge the two things, as if there aren’t yellow nationalists in communist China, or brown nationalists in India, or black nationalists throughout Africa.
We will also point out that neither thing (being white, OR being a nationalist) is a crime, nor is being both, no matter how much the left try to make it criminal.
So who was spreading this tired-old dis-proven mentally questionable disinformation (which is always done intentionally, as compared to misinformation which might be by accident) this time?
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, since it was listed in the headline, it was Mike ‘white communist’ Florio, a sports opinion guy and former practicing lawyer…so he should both stick to his lane AND also know better.
Why did that jackhole say? Nothing worse than he has said before, which is why we stopped listening to him long ago. But this was, literally, right in our faces, so it was impossible to ignore.
In an article where he felt the need to repeat the phrase “Twitter, now known as X” FOUR fraking times in just 1043 characters (222 words), he attacked “prominent white nationalist accounts”[SIC] for correctly calling the NFL anti-white.
All pro-sports leagues (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.) today are anti-white and also anti-American, and have been for years. We have prior proven they are even importing players to take the jobs of Americans (regardless of race). And they have done that while also pushing Florio’s own brand of woke leftism, which includes ‘the trans‘.
He also brought up something about a Buffalo Bills player dying from ‘the vaxx‘ and being replaced by “an actor”, and while admitting that only ONE account was pushing that story, he also tried to tar many with that strange accusation.
Why? Because Florio is a ‘the covid’ disinformation AND ‘the vaxx’ pusher.
We’ve also proven that it isn’t likely that a vaccine for that could have been developed in such a short amount of time, AND that the left have pushed ‘health products’ that have been proven to harm us before…including those containing MERCURY!!!
Just like Mike, “we won’t name names or post links here”, except him because he deserves to be shamed.
Despite his love for leftist views, Florio was ‘outed’ for making comments like “”homos”, “fruits”, “queers” and “fudge packers”” on his own web site dating back to at least 2005, and only apologized in 2020 when someone went back through old articles there.
Our standard disclaimer: we don’t hate ANYONE…except communists and the communist adjacent. That said, medically mutilating children (with drugs and/or surgery), as the British say, is “right out”.
In fact, Florio is actually STILL making such comments, as he JUST referred to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy as “Turdy” and said he can’t be a “franchise quarterback” because his last name sounds like that word for poop.
Even known fellow ass-hat leftist Peter King called that comment “one of the silliest things I’ve ever heard.”
We guess those two aren’t dating any longer now.
Mike’s site is now an affiliate of NBC Sports, which is owned by Com(munist)cast, aka Comcast, which also owns alt-far-left NBC and alt-far-lefter MSNBC (aka PMSNBC), Universal Pictures, USA Network, Bravo, Oxygen, E!, and also the now ruined Syfy (formerly Scifi, when it was good) and the streaming service Peacock, among other things. So you can actively practice avoidance of those.
And we will add that if a dishonest mental midget like Mike can make it through Law School and pass the Bar Exam, then anyone can. So if that is of any interest to you, go for it!

I’m As Fragile As Glass…Except When Banging A Porn Star, Pelicans PF Zion Williamson Represents Pansy Marxist NBA
Published

August 2, 2023While not writing, we did a lot of prep that we never used (writing headlines, finding or making memes, and even starting articles). Our motto is “if you think of something, type it in!”. It would be a shame if it went to waste, even if slightly dated. So one such topic is being merged with something that just happened.
Julius Erving, who just a year ago had his number officially retired across the entire NBA, recently released his all-time top 10 players list. Then he took a heap of grief for it, despite everyone being entitled to their own opinion, unless that opinion is communism (and then they are entitled to your opinion too, along with everything else you own).
“I have five guys who are untouchable – Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. That’s my all-time best team. …I made this decision when I was 15 years old. I’m sticking with it now all these years later.”, Erving said.
More than you would think were offended that he left current players off the list. ‘Dr. J’ explained that he only chose people whose careers were over. Cue more complaints.
Make your own list folks! THIS is the result of the monolithic thought being forced on us by leftists. If you don’t agree with what they believe (most often, wrongly), you are evil. We are surprised they haven’t called Julius a ‘white nationalist’ for leaving Lebron and Steph off of his list.
He also left probably the two most dangerous players at the end of a game off of his list: Michael Jordan and Larry Bird. If you are the opposing team, you definitely don’t want the ball in their hands with seconds left.
Personally, we don’t follow sports like we used to. We do check how our favorite teams are doing from time to time, but we never watch games anymore. We read a lot instead. We’ve also grown partial to rugby, which we tried watching because we missed sports.
We missed sports, and gave it a…’try’…LOL…and find it superior to American football, which actually developed out of…rugby. They play both ways (offense and defense) and the action seldom stops.
That is a lot of ellipsis…ellipses…periods.
So far, we’ve just watched national teams play full 15 on 15 games, except for one 7 on 7 game which we found ridiculous. The USA team is currently ranked 18th in the world.
The sheer amount of teamwork surpasses anything we’ve seen in the NBA, NFL or MLB. Our one gripe is everyone ‘hook kicking’. Most of the time, they would make those just lining up straight on, even at an angle (for conversion kicks, after a ‘try’ they line up down the field from where they enter the ‘in-goal area’, which makes the kicks a lot more difficult than an ‘extra point’ in football).
We also haven’t seen anything woke in rugby except for ONE ad running on the digital signs during one game from a few years ago.
Now back to the racist drug-addict commies.
The only thing the NBA (or NFL or MLB) players and owners want is your time and money. They do NOT care about you at all! So why care about them, and why feed that obviously left-wing behemoth?
The recent NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (or CBA, not to be confused with the NBA’s old feeder system, the Continental Basketball Association, which Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas killed off), now allows marijuana use by players. So if you still watch that sport, just know that every fucking player on that court is high.
We are not 420 friendly, we are 420 hostile.
We probably lost a few of you there, and that is okay. We have our reasons. Our philosophy is that if you are going through life high or drunk (or both), then you are living wrong.
It is still a drug, and we were right when we said that those pushing it to be legalized and accepted would ultimately push it on kids, which they ended up doing with so-called edibles.
The alt-far-left has proven that all they need is a foot in the door (see gay ‘marriage’) and pretty soon they are chopping off dicks and tits, and pumping ‘the drugs’ into our kids.
But that is a future article, and this one is about the most fragile men in the NBA. This current crop is incredibly soft (just like a MyPillow, or their Giza Dreams sheets; use promo code RealityShed or Reality Shed for a nice discount), and is likely the softest group to EVER play the game. Until then there was no such phrase as ‘load management’.
What should happen is paycheck management, as in if you don’t play you get paid less. Especially the bullshit Ben Simmons pulled. He is just one of several ‘Mr. Glass’ level players shamed, uhm, we mean named below.
Wow, this started off as such a simple writing idea. Zion and Dr. J. Oh well.
On Tuesday, June 6, 2023 (finally, this is the slightly older part…), Zion Williamson (aka ‘Mr. Glass’, like the villain character that the racist communist Samuel LEROY Jackson played in the super-hero trilogy [‘Unbreakable’ (2000), Split (2016), and Glass (2019)] by M. Night Shama Lama Ding Dong aka M. Night Shyamalan), announced he and his girlfriend were having a baby together.
Do you know what a child born out of wedlock is called? Illegitimate, or a bastard child. In fact, to promote promiscuity, the left now insists that that last term is offensive now. The bastards!
This is another example of the left changing our language to change society in the direction of their communism.
This is also similar to, what do you call someone who can speak a language but can’t read and write it? Illiterate. Equally true, although most people don’t feign offense at that.
Preparing for this, we saw a meme that started off with “The Zion Williamson Fanbase Is Dying”. Not entirely true, he is actually eating them off.
Anyway, porn star Moriah Mills followed Zion’s announcement with one of her own. She says that they have been having sex since 2021, and that he has promised to dump his girlfriend and be with Moriah. Mills even claimed that…gasp…she might also be pregnant.
Who cares, right? We only mention their ‘drama’ to point out that Zion’s many injuries haven’t prevented him from being a male slut.
His punishment for his actions (whoring and missing games) was…a 5-year rookie max extension worth at least $193 million, and possibly up to $231 million if he achieves certain incentives.
Zion has spent 4 seasons in the NBA, all with the New Orleans Pelicans. Entering the league in 2019-20 at 19 years of age. He has never played 82 regular season games in any season. He missed his entire 3rd season in 2021-22 with a foot injury. He has averaged 38.0 games a year (114 / 3) or 0.46342 of the games his team played. Pathetic!
He isn’t alone though, and since we haven’t used this analogy in a few days, here is the rest of our NBA Fab Four of slack:
Kawhi Leonard has spent 12 seasons in the NBA, entering the league in 2011-12 at 20 years old: 7 seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, 407 games (the last season there he played just 9 games), one season with the Toronto Raptors 60 games, and 4 seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers (although he missed the entire 2021-22 season with an ACL injury). He has never played 82 regular season games in any season. He has averaged 57.091 games a year (628 / 11) or 0.6962 of the games his team played. Very not good!
Anthony Davis has spent 11 seasons in the NBA, entering the league in 2012-13 at 19 years old: 7 seasons with the New Orleans Hornets / Pelicans and 466 games played, and 4 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and 194 games played. He has never played 82 regular season games in any season. He has averaged 60.0 (660 / 11) or 0.732 of the games his team played. Fragile!
Ben Simmons has spent 7 seasons in the NBA, entering the league in 2016-17 at 20 years old. His first 5.5 seasons were spent with the Philadelphia 76ers, but he missed his entire first season with a foot injury, and also his last half season there claiming mental health issues, for 275 games played. He was then traded to the Brooklyn Nets and didn’t play his first half season there (claiming a back injury), before playing 42 games last season. He has never played 82 regular season games in any season (he just missed it in his second season, when he played 81). He has averaged 63.40 (317 / 5 played out of 7 in the league), or 0.7732 of the games his team played. Weak sauce!
Ben also thinks he is being paid to play “defense-ball” instead of basketball. Scoring is implied in the name of the game, dude!
And what of the fans who pay to attend these games thinking star players will be there and discover they overpaid for an incomplete product? Fraud!
We had already picked the antithesis of the current crop of players before seeing Dr. J’s actual list. And that player was…Wilt Chamberlain.
Unfair comparison? Hey, each of these guys all think they are the best player ever, so we will compare them to ONE of the best players ever. Or as piece of shit JJ Redick claimed, a guy who played against “firemen and plumbers”.
Wilt entered the NBA in the 1959-60 season at the age of 23. This was after 3 years of college and one year with the Harlem Globetrotters. Why? Back then, the NBA was sensical enough to not hire children. You couldn’t be drafted unless your college class had graduated, hence Wilt’s Globetrotters year.
He is listed as being active for 15 seasons, but he sat out his last season, 1973-74, in a contract dispute (see below).
His first 5.5 seasons were spent with the Philadelphia / San Francisco Warriors (they moved to SF before his 4th season). He was then traded to the new Philadelphia 76ers (the relocated and renamed Syracuse Nationals) in the middle of the season and remained there for 3.5 seasons.
He then spent the next 5 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, and when he didn’t sign his option year contract they insisted he was still required to play for them, but he had already signed with the ABA (American Basketball Association) San Diego Conquistadors as head coach and player for 2 seasons. A judge later ruled that he could coach but not play, siding with the Lakers.
Wilt ‘coached’ one season (with assistant Stan Albeck, who had also been an interim head coach before and would be a head coach again, actually doing most of the coaching, as it bored Chamberlain), then he retired.
This one really got away from us. Home stretch now though.
The number of games varied back then. It was 75 for the first season, 79 for the second, 80 each of the next 5 seasons, then 81 for one, and finally the current 82 for his last 6 seasons. That totals 1127 possible games his team played.
Wilt played 1045 regular season games (or .927241%) over 14 seasons for 74.643 games per season when the average played over those seasons was exactly 80.5 games.
He missed games in 5 seasons (3, 7, 1, 1 and 70). In his 11th season (1969-70) he played the first 9 games, rupturing his patellar tendon of his right knee in that last game, then came back for the last 3 games of the season AND the playoffs! They lost in the Finals in 7 games to the New York Knicks.
Over his career, Wilt averaged 30.1 points per game, including averaging 50.4 and 44.8 in back-to-back seasons, and including 7 other seasons over 30 points per game and 5 other seasons over 20 points per game. His last two seasons were his worst (14.8 and then 13.2).
He also averaged 22.9 rebounds per game over his career, 45.8 minutes per game (out of 48!), 4.4 assists and just 2.0 fouls per game (he never fouled out of a game). AND he claims to have slept with over 20,000 women, yet had no children (and thus no ‘baby-mommas’).
His one weakness was caused by embarrassment. He could only shoot free throws accurately underhanded, like Rick Barry (89.3% career) did. He stopped doing that and fell into Shaq territory afterwards.
One coach suggested shooting them as jump shots, which is allowed, but he felt that would only call even more attention to his deficiency, and he ended his career at 51.1% FT made (he was 28 of 32 on FT in his 100 point game).
Wilt was also a Republican who denounced black nationalists, including the Black Panthers, and he even attended MLK Jr’s funeral with Richard Nixon, who he supported for President in 1968 and 1972.
Lastly, in Wilt’s last season, at 36, he set a FG% record (.727) that stood from 1972-73 until 2019-20, and is still #2 all-time for a single season. He actually still holds 3 spots in the top 23 for that category.
This could be done with any number of good quality players, not just with Wilt. The entire point is that modern guys can play, they just can’t stay on the court BUT they want to be paid as if they did.
They just don’t make them like they used to! The NBA is now a league of soft racist (that is what BLM is) potheads pushing cultural marxism.
