Number got picked but they didn't end up choosing me for that one. Case sounded boring anyway. Now I'm on lunch break and trying to download Shutshimi on the Vita.
 
I just don't like Kobe because he is an out of high school player. As strictly a college basketball fan after the 90s, I'm not a fan of them or one and dones...unless they play well for the bucks..But Kobe is easily in the top 5 best players since he came to the NBA, but as you can see,that is very subjective.

How can Kobe be in the same boat as Carmelo other than taking a lot of shots? Kobe is a 5x champ and was a great defender. Carmelo isn't in the same realm as Kobe in any capacity.

As great as Kobe was lets remember that it takes more than one guy to win that many championships. Kobe wins none without a great organization behind him supporting him with players like Shaq etc. Not sure Carmelo is that great but he certainly has had no help his entire career. No where near the support Kobe had thats for sure.

There really is a fine line between great players and all time bests. For instance, move Joe Montana to Miami and Marino to San Fran and guess who has all the championships? Circumstance really counts for a lot in sports.

 
I don't hate Brett Favre, but he sure did throw a lot of interceptions.  I bet you could let any average schmuck in the NFL throw the ball and he'd average throwing it to the right team vs the wrong team on par with Favre.  But I don't hate him.

 
I just never liked Kobe when I was younger because he's a prick but as I've gotten older I've given less of a fuck about all that and just focused on the fact that the dude is a brilliant player and I've gotten to enjoy his career by doing so. I'm lucky I got to watch him, I'm even luckier I got to see Micheal Jordan.

Joe Montana is my favorite QB of all time, I'm sure he had a little more to do with San Francisco winning than you are crediting him with though lol. Joe Montana got it done when it mattered most, Marino didn't. I may be reading that wrong right now so forgive me haha.

But how do you know it wasnt the players around them that helped get it done? You dont know for sure which is why we all like to debate things like greatest teams of all time etc. No one can be sure things wouldnt be different if the circumstances changed.

We can all come up with reasons why we think the 96 Bulls would beat or lose to the 16 Warriors, but since they didnt play in the same era we dont know for sure who is best. We can only guess.

Also, Joe Montana and Marino are both dicks in real life so you should hate them too. lol

(steph curry in a wheelchair somehow still making half court shots and michael jordans bank account)

I always hated Marino anyways, Montana gets a pass for being my favorite of all time lol

 
Marino is my favorite non Packer QB. He's only a dick cause Ray Finkles family wanted him to die of gonorrhea and burn in hell. But really, he can't be a dick if he showed up in both acEnglish ventura and bad boys 2!
 
Dark Souls 3 is good so far and I'm enjoying the exploration. I've only beat 2 bosses so far but it's been a blast. The enemies can really mess you up if they gang up with attacks. There are some characters that seem to be reincarnated from past Souls games. I love discovering shortcuts so you don't have to fight through crazy mobs of enemies on the way to fight a boss. Great game so far and a must play for fans of the series.
 
Division people, did anyone do a challenge mission with randoms? I'm trying to figure out if I can finish one with randos with no problem, or if it'd be better to play through with friends, even if those friends suck.

Stephen Curry set an NBA record with 286 3-pointers last year.

He made his 400th three of this season last night.

Got damn.

This is so ridiculous its mind blowing. How in the fuck do you break a record by 30% without some major rules change or something? Most season long records like this in a sport that plays 80 games a year should broken by like 1 or 2. Not 114! And by the same guy that did it the year before again without any rules changes?!?! Im dumbfounded.

Click on my trophy card.

Huh. Just looked at the game trophy card on PSNP. First plat took 6 days. First plat for DS2 took 12.5. DS1 was 9 days. Wonder if the 3rd game has that much easier of a list or if people have just gotten so into the universe that a new iteration is a simple finish.

Saw you had the Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Dark Souls II plats--any reason you never finished off Bloodborne or went back for DS2 PS4? If you hadn't jumped right into DS3 I'd have thought you were getting tired of the series or something.

I did it with randos, but I'm not sure if I got lucky with my group or not. If your friends suck, you'll probably not want to try it with them because it can be pretty tough. Just try the daily challenge mission with matchmaking and see how it goes.

I only have 2 bosses to kill for the plat on Bloodborne and some of the DLC trophies. I already beat the game and got all the endings. I have DS2 for PS4 but will play it when I feel like playing it again. Also got Demon's Souls Pal and Chinese/Englush versions to play. I don't get burned out on these games.

Why would they need to make rule changes? No one is ever going to come close to this record.
 
Marino definitely had more talent than Montana.  He never had the defense or run game to help him.  Or even the best damn receiver of all time playing for him.  Im sure his offensive line wasnt as good as Montana's either though I havent looked that in depth into it and wont.
