saw this headline today.
Report: Derrick Favors Worked Out for Trail Blazers (msn.com)

Apparently this was January 2023

Should someone tell the tweet writer that an acre is a measure of area, not length?

because I'm a dipshit....

there are 43,560 square feet in an acre. A square acre has 208 feet per side. Which would be a 208 foot long scoreboard. However, the picture makes the scoreboard look about 12 feet tall, so an acre scoreboard would be 2/3 of a mile long

if the scoreboard was 1 inch tall it would be 99 miles long

I can keep going....

I didn't see that but even if it was it's a sign that the Blazers were looking to sign veteran help when Winslow went down.

This was awesome to see Jabari doing. Footwork is everything

WNBA playoffs not doing it for you?

Agreed. Pretty cool to see him work on his offensive game with an established star still in the league. You don't see that often from a 58th pick.

Jabari could get to a point where he's a pretty good offensive player in 5-6 years. Now, whether or not he sticks around in the NBA for that long is going to come down to the things we had thought he'd be good at--hustling, rebounding.

Did not even know they were happening? Sorry.

First round often has blowouts. In any sport.

What the Aces are doing is impressive especially when you know that Candace Parker is out.

 

[tlongII]

It will be the Aces vs Liberty in the Finals. I'll root for the Liberty because of Sabrina Ionescu. Even though she's a Duck...

I posted that earlier

Derrick Favors works out for Portland....

Before he signed a 10-day contract with the Hawks...

Happened in January 2023.

Sorry, didn't see it was way back....

That story has been on my home page everytime I opened it today...the interesting thing is it shuts up the narrative that the Blazers weren't trying to add vets last season before the deadline though. Probably were looking for a Winslow replacement as that was about when he got shut down.

I'd retire Rik Smits' number for the Pacers before Jermaine O'Neal's.

Is there a women's team in New York?

Seriously? The NY Liberty has been in the WNBA for 26 years and it’s in the post you responded to

Why? Smits was awesome but JO was All-NBA.

Never knew? Sorry. Is this professional?
