Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Junk Drawer - 3/4/2010 - Back to the Future Edition


I grew up watching Back to the Future.  A version recorded off of tv.  When Back to the Future II came out, my mom wouldn't take me to see it in the theaters.  Same with Back to the Future III.  I had to wait to rent them from the video store.  But I did.  Then I bought them later on.  Back to the Future courses through my veins like....well, not like blood....but like some other less important thing that courses through someone's veins.  My high school graduation all night party (school sponsored) was themed around Back to the Future.  There was an actual Delorean there. They also had a trivia type game where they had teams and the winning team won $5 each for answering questions.  I told one of my tennis teammates who got picked as a captain that if he wanted $5, he better pick me.  I answered every question for my team and we all won 5 dollars.  Then they carried me off the stage on their shoulders.  As far as you know....that's true.  This Junk Drawer is a tribute to Back to the Future.   A collection of pictures, music, and video clips.

Marty McFly:  awesome teenager with a hot girlfriend.  really good at skateboarding.  always late for school.  best friend is a scientist more than twice his age....that's odd....

That scientists's name is Dr. Emmit L Brown.  He's super smart and has a dog named Copernicus and then later, the same dog, but named Einstein.  This is him wearing his mind reading device.  Unfortunately, that damn thing doesn't work at all.

One fateful day, Doc Brown was standing on his toilet hanging a picture.  The porcelain was wet, he slipped, hit his head and when he came to he had a vision....of vision of this....the flux capacitor.  And, as we all know, the flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible.

He put the flux capacitor into a Delorean....because if you're gonna make a time machine, why not do it in style?  Later, Doc Brown does some modifications and the Delorean can fly.

When the Delorean hits 88 miles per hour, some serious [stuff] happens.  (nsfb language in video)

88 mph bttf Delorean (via harpoonek)

 

Back to the Future has other kick-butt stuff too.  A dumb but funny villain.  His grasp of idioms is epic.  Marty's previously mentioned hot girlfriendWacky parents.  And an awesome song to tie it all together.

Clearly, Back to the Future is, on all levels, incredible awesome.  I didn't even have time to talk about Libyans, The Old West, hoverboards, sports almanacs, or bald authority figures. 

Back to the Future:  one of the best trilogies of all time.

 

Remember people, the future hasn't been written yet, no one's has.  So make it a good one, all of ya!

Nicky Barnes looks like this

This is what gangstersinc.tripod.com says about him

Leroy “Nicky” Barnes is a legend of African American organized crime history. Once a dope fiend himself, he kicked the habit, and became the main distributor of heroin in Harlem, NY. In 2007 his autobiography “Mr Untouchable: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of Heroin’s Teflon Don” was released. In it Barnes tells his story. How he started out, how he came to dominating the heroin scene in Harlem, how he was betrayed by those he trusted, and how he took revenge by becoming a government witness.

Jabbar, the Dolphins running back

Abdul-Jabbar reached a settlement after suing Miami Dolphins running back Karim Abdul-Jabbar (now Abdul-Karim al-Jabbar, born Sharmon Shah) because he felt Karim was sponging off the name he made famous by having the Abdul-Jabbar moniker and number 33 on his Dolphins jersey, even though names are not protectable under U.S. copyright laws. As a result, the younger Abdul-Jabbar had to change his jersey nameplate to simply ‘Abdul’ while playing for the Dolphins.27 The football player had also been an athlete at UCLA.

You think he is all about the money? I think the opposite is true, and he is demonstrating a commitment to his team, consistent with his other actions and statements to become the best player he can be every day in training which was something I did not expect after the draft. He really seems to like the group of guys around him and is displaying Roy-ish qualities.

I think any player that sees the writing on the wall will ask to get extended now.

Anything about Durant in this context is speculation, so I’m not sure you can claim something one way or the other. Is he a great teammate? I’ve seen him scream at Westbrook after not getting the ball. There really isn’t enough evidence either way.

He hangs out with his teammates at least as much as Roy. That scene with Westbrook was over nothing, he just was angry in the moment that he had overlooked him on the fast break. Roy and Aldridge got extended ahead of time, and everybody wanted them to get the money.

a great teammate absolutely freaks out over his teammate missing him on the fast break?

I don’t want to make Timmay’s eyes roll into the back of his head, so I’d rahter not turn today into Durant day. But, to claim based on the fact that he makes videos with other players, that he is a good teammate.. we don’t have evidence either way.

black and white.. normal colors to accentuate important things (ie blood). it bugged the hell out of me. looked way too much like a 3d ‘graphic novel’ than an actual movie.

I've seen her movie, it's about a specific detail of the holocaust relating to Italy

Not a great movie in my opinion, mixing true events with pretty weird artistic and satirical elements at times. Roberto Benigni’s Life is Beautiful is the better Italian candidate for a similar movie about that era.

Roy was just on Wheels at Work

My only take away was a little anecdote about Juwan. Roy said when he came back from the hammy, and the team just got Camby, Juwan pulled Roy aside and told him that the team is still his. Roy needs to continue being the vocal leader, even with the vets. You don’t need to worry about fitting in with the team, the team needs to fit in with you. He told Roy to call out Juwan or Marcus if needed.

And perhaps playing this way will cause Roy to be a better player since he’ll have to learn some new moves.

Off topic: I’m pretty amazed that a well-known university has decided to publish a case study on the team performance of a group of their students (by names, which I won’t do) who graduated just 1 year earlier. Publicly available, and not just to students. It most likely happened with their written consent, and they like to point out that “cases are not intended to serve as endorsements […] or illustrations of effective or ineffective management.” But describing in psychological detail how a guy and his team managed to screw up royally doesn’t seem the best way to promote the until then promising career of their students.

Also reminds me again that I should write a case study on some of the crappy managers in one of my former companies… That case would be funnier, is also true and none of them can really blame their inexperience.

Although they’re flawed, if they get a team that loses its focus a little bit and isn’t really intent on exploiting their lack of size (unlikely obviously), their intensity will be tough to deal with, and nobody wants to play against Durant.

Matchups do matter, of course. Phoenix could be dangerous against the right opponent also.

There seems to be a growing anger about the rising cost of higher education in this country

part of the problem is that there is a growing anti-tax movement that is against any sort of tax increase, no matter how trival. According to this letter to the New Yorker, rolling back tuition to 2000 levels in California would cost the average California taxpayer an extra $32 a year.

by tingeyga on Mar 4, 2010 4:49 PM PST up reply actions  

The whole growing anti-tax movement has me baffled...

Income tax rates in this country are low relative to what they have been throughout the past century. In the past 98 years (could only find stats back through 1913) there have only been 15 years when tax rates were lower than when they are now. And yet to listen to some people, we are taxed to death.

It doesn't make much sense to me either

I think that part of it is that people don’t like how the money is spent or it doesn’t directly benefit them (i.e. why should I help fund education if I don’t have any kids?)Also I think that there is a feeling of “I have earned everything that I have through my own efforts and not due to others. Why should I help others when I didn’t get that same assistance?” as well

You remember school, right? With all the geography and pi and recess and stuff. It was pretty fly. It’s no surprise then, that schools are at the forefront of making teenagers taste condoms.

A teacher in Santa Fe, New Mexico decided to forgo the tastefully made Cold War-era film reel warning that pubic hair is a-coming, and instead bought a 30-pack of guava condoms and made the kids taste test them. His lesson plan managed to get into the news after a 15-year-old female student took issue with putting a dick sock in her mouth in front of the rest of her class. The teacher’s reply? "Come on, sweetie, have a little fun."

A more honest reply would have been, "It doesn’t affect my parole if you don’t taste this condom, but I’d still like a photo of it on my cell phone" but we can’t change history, we can only learn from it. The state heath department looked into the situation after the mother of the girl complained and determined the mother and the girl were just being uptight. Turns out the government in New Mexico is totally on board with this methodology, claiming the method helps destigmatize condoms for the students. You know that stigma condoms have about maybe not tasting like pina colada? Yeah, totally removes that.

Or Roy as PG

The last few times I’ve matched up vs. them I’ve been defending Roy . I’m a good defender but I’m still a PG, Roy owns me.

That's the great thing about My Player

You don’t have to play a full game, in fact you don’t. Even as a starter I rarely take with 5 minute quarters more than 15-20 minutes per game.

I kinda do

He has a real round nose, and he was pretty fat at my age. Him and my brother look exactly alike. I look like his mom’s side of the family, but my MOM looks like that side of the family too, so I dunno who I look like. I sorta look like my Uncle Bill, and he was who raised my dad.

Me and my brobro both got the big frame from my pappy, and he got it from his pappy.

When I call home, my older brother even SOUNDS like my dad on the phone, where if my dad answers, I think it’s my brother messing around and saying he was dad, because he is annoying like that.

“I don’t feel like I’m going to be happy or complete until I’m an All-Star. My favorite example is that it took Chauncey six, seven years. And Chauncey’s been a mentor for me, and I’ve learned a lot from him in these last couple years. So, people can say what they want, but I’ll get the last laugh. " – Bayless

Current Blazer and former Washington Huskies star Brandon Roy got a standing ovation Thursday night before the Oregon-Washington game at McArthur Court.

Roy wore all Husky purple as he waved to the crowd. Only a smattering of boos were aimed at Roy – perhaps the only Husky who could be treated so civilly at Mac Court.
