Ok so NBA.com is with no minimum FGA criteria, but you’re filtering it by >25 shots…all other criteria sounds similar :

Re: Suns News: Week 16 (1/31 to 2/5)

Why I couldn’t quickly find the definition of Clutch on NBA.com itself I’ve no idea, maybe it’s there somewhere https://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/the_most_clutch_nba_players_2020_21/s1_16775_35060582 Not on NBA.com, but references them. So is Booker at the top or ranked 78th for clutch shooti...

Booker has missed his last 8 shots, again.

Currently ranked 102nd for clutch shooting this season:

Re: Trump 2024

Just to add … you can definitely have a “best” candidate, but I agree there are other factors than just a CV that go into it.

Re: Trump 2024

*from a large institution POV .. can’t speak for smaller firms.

I hired two people on the same day once and kept the “less good” one for my team as she was Chinese and we had a Chinese guy already onboard. It raised a few eyebrows on that basis but the end result was win-win for everyone.

Trump 2024

You get a bunch of CV’s, you interview the ones you like (being careful not to be racist about the name - I had a Pakistani boss once who permanently changed his name to a western name as he was convinced, probably correctly, that he was being biased against*), you hire the best one. If it’s line-ba...

Re: Trump 2024

So we did, but the evidence is still valid. Meritocracy is meritocracy - there's a best person for the job regardless of sex or race and trying to force the Inclusion issue has consequences, which Peterson and Harris (who's a left leaning liberal, if the mention of Peterson offends ..) both talk abo...

Re: Trump 2024

Here's one example - schools in NYC are banning exams as they're viewed as a racist construct because blacks and hispanics perform worse than whites on them:

It is amazing how many straight white guys are worried about cancel culture and inclusion.
- Peterson can't be cancelled, he's far too successful
- Inclusion on it's own isn't his problem, it's inclusion at the expense of meritocracy and where that takes society that is

Re: Trump 2024

I like Peterson but I don't love him as I disagree with him on some things.

But anyone writing him off outright hasn't read or listened to what he has to say - he is seriously well researched and experienced and some of his insight is nothing short of awesome.

Re: Trump 2024

Is it more of an anti-woke message? As in, the woke brigade have taken anti-racism so far they’re now being racist towards white people? Is any of what Trump said in the above clip true? From what I'm reading, I don't doubt there's an element of truth to it: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/reverse-rac...
