    Tatum or Ant?

    This came up briefly during a Simmons/Russillo podcast, that if you could pick between Jayson Tatum or Anthony Edwards to build your team around, who would you choose? Simmons quickly said Edwards, pointing out that he was only 22 and that would have to be considered the deciding factor. I...

    A-Rod's Legacy

    I was talking about this with some friends the other day; is there a player with a legacy further disconnected from their actual production than Alex Rodriguez? Nobody likes A-Rod, for a bunch of obvious reasons. He's the punchline to a bunch of jokes, not only from Sox fans but from Yankee...

    1962 Redux

    NBA historians will recognize the 1961-1962 season as the biggest statistical anomaly in the history of the NBA. Changes to the style of play (mainly more fast breaks and shots going up quickly) that had been bubbling since the introduction of the shot clock finally exploded, and the result was...

    Matchday 10 Game Thread

    Spurs and Palace start things off. Spurs playing on Monday and Friday in the same week, the perks of not playing in Europe I suppose.

    Dombrowski

    Dave Dombrowski seems like the antithesis of the thinking man’s general manager. That isn’t to say that Dombrowski is not viewed highly by people in MLB, obviously he keeps landing good jobs as an executive, but he is rarely held up on a pedestal despite his resume indicating that he is one of...

    Kyle Schwarber goes to WAR

    As noted in this MLB.com article written by Mike Lupica, Kyle Schwarber is having a very unusual season. Schwarber is set to become the first player in MLB history to hit 40 homers, score 100 runs, strikeout 200 times and bat below .200 (currently he is hitting .198). What Lupica doesn't...

    Should the Sox have given Bogaerts a moderate extension?

    This was being discussed in the Bogaerts thread, but thought it would be good for a new poll question. We were discussing the possibility that the Red Sox could have signed Bogaerts to a new contract extension before he hit free agency. Obviously, the San Diego offer was overwhelming, but...

    Squad Building In Global Soccer

    This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while and figured I would write down all my thoughts and start a new thread and see what my fellow SoSH posters think. I’ve been thinking a lot about the practice of squad-building in world soccer, and the success and failures that different...

    2023 NBA Draft: Wem! Ban! Thank You Yam!

    It is time to begin discussion of the 2023 NBA Draft. The jewel of the draft is French big man Victor Wembanyama. What are people saying about Wembanyama? Mike Schmitz calls him "the best prospect I've ever evaluated" Draft people have been very high on Wembanyama for a while, and he first...

    Looking for a tool

    I was wondering if people could help me find a cool website tool that I'm pretty sure was shared on here a few years ago. Basically it was a tool where you could go back and pick any game in recent MLB history, and it would gamecast the game for you, showing what each batter did and moving the...

    20 years ago today...

    A dynasty was born View: https://twitter.com/bostonsportsinf/status/1483655254902198272?s=20 I've watched a ton of snow games since then, but never have I seen a kick quite like that first one. Maybe it's the lack of HD cameras, but you can't even see the ball after AV kicks it, it just...

    2022 NBA Draft: The Life of Paolo

    I'm surprised nobody has started this yet. Heading into the college basketball season, there appears to be two top contenders for the #1 pick. The consensus #1 seemed to be Chet Holmgren, who was the #1 rated recruit coming out of high school and is now at Gonzaga. There really hasn't been a...

    Is the 3,000 hit club over?

    In all sports, I love certain clubs that set a benchmark for player success. The 10,000 yard rusher club in football, 100 goals in the EPL, 20,000 points in the NBA etc. A lot of the times they are arbitrary lines drawn around nice even numbers, but as someone that loves history, I like that we...

    Pick Your College Basketball Lineup

    Trending on social media and might be a fun discussion here: View: https://twitter.com/JayBilas/status/1385600918952058883?s=20 I would think Kidd/Redick/Jordan/Bird/Ewing would be the optimal lineup. Imagine the passing of Kidd and Bird? The shooting of Bird and Redick? MJ delivering the...
