they just said that sims started shooting FTs with his off hand a couple of weeks ago. yikes. 

Yeah can’t expect good ft shooting from him. He’s looking for anything to work

hamm is impressing so far. he's playing very aggressively and very "big". sims meanwhile has been hidden in the background. I'd like to see him be more assertive.

Wait a second, when Michael Jordan was able to dunk taking off at the free throw line, that was like a big deal, right? Like few athletes can do that?

That was 30 years ago.  Now 6ft high schoolers are hitting their heads on the rim.  Evolution is a muthafucka.

My takeaway is that we have a lot of freaking athletes and I would hate to have to handle all that length...go ahead pun away

If we don't employ the press at least we 25% of the time or more I'm going to be pissed. Especially when/if Jones gets back to 80% or more.

Evolution takes thousands if not millions of years. The overall population/health/training capacity does improve every year though.

That is why we might not see another Wilt Chamberlain for another 30 years.

American’s grew 3 inches on average from 1896-1996. That’s not millions of years

Yeah, and pro athletes have evolved a lot faster than the general population due to weight/speed training, specialist coaches, diet etc... for example back in the 60’s mlb athletes were smoking cigarettes in the dugout.

They've improved, not evolved.

And tobacco still helps you hit a baseball.

You can’t improve your way 3 inches taller on average. 

If your stats about that are real, ie a 3 inch taller on average height of every American from 1895 to 1995 then that must be attributed to better health and fewer childhood sicknesses, which makes some sense. It isn't really correct to call it evolution though since evolution as it relates to species is typically defined to be a genetic change occurring over millions of years.

You pedantic son of a gun.  What part of ending the sentence with muthafucka made you think I was putting forth a treatise on modern day theories of evolution?
