Your Unpopular Basketball Opinions? [PC Board Edition]

[Texas Chuck]

I realize that (at least to the best of my knowledge) I was the first--and only-- person here to suggest Duncan as a legit GOAT candidate, but when I posted an OP asking the question, it wasn't totally laughed off.

Actually, as Duncan was my last favorite player, and having kept track of the way he's been perceived and since I record everything at the time, I can state that two years ago it was Dr Spaceman who in a topic asking how many players had a legit case for GOAT threw Duncan's name into the discussion. And at that time, you said that Jordan, Kareem and Russell had cases, and were holding a spot for LeBron, but, quote, "I think Shaq and Duncan just didn't quite get there for me." After Duncan's retirement last year, the question was asked where Duncan ranked all-time, and Dr Spaceman said anywhere from 1-3 made sense on his list, and you said he was 4th for you but you were considering moving him to 3rd over Kareem. So your opinion has changed since then, but Dr Spaceman preceded you. When you said you could make a case for Duncan against any player ever this March, Dr Spaceman had already submitted Duncan's name as a GOAT candidate in 2015, and last year said he could be #1, and another poster asked him what Duncan's case was for #1.

I love that you keep us all honest. So full credit to Dr Spaceman for being 1st(and what's new he's always out in front of the curve). i guess I just finally got smart enough to ride his coattails.

Also congrats you've "made more love" in one day than me in 16 years lol

I love your sense of humor. Please never change, dude.

MyUniBroDavis,
Please believe me when I say that I SYMPATHIZE with your plight.
During the periods in my life when I was single - it was just barbaric how miserable I was - and I couldn't even make eye contact with women - I was just too shy.

Now, with this precious "thing" "forever" in my life, I'm comfortable talking with any woman of any age at any time - I feel no shyness and no (sexual) pressure to "score" - all of them can be: friends, aunts, nieces, whathaveyou. It's such a delight.

Another thing, whereas before, as a single guy, virtually every woman struck me as irresistibly beautiful. Now, I wonder at how I could have felt so strongly like that. True, lots of them are quite attractive; but I find that now as a nice part of nature; not as something that complete dominates my thinking and leaves me desperately needy.

Let me add my "vote" to the sentiment, "I love your sense of humor. Please never change, dude.

lol i dont actually care about not dojngnit yet cuz tbh im more about the "emotional connection" and cheesy crap like that. i feel bad saying his nut half the time the chase is the fun part lol. also i go to a pretty small school and everyone knows each other so tbh id feel awkward "doing it" unless i dated the person for awhile (idk its a bit different being raised in a international school in a third world country)

also if i did it 7 times in a day i think it would literally melt off. like it would literally just shrivel up into a raisan and fall off.

[MyUniBroDavis]

I love your sense of humor. Please never change, dude.

I feel like I've posted in the off topic thread a lot just to have convos with pockycandy about our interesting lives lol.

I don't know about you, but this seemingly has turned into the OT thread hahhaha Although Pablo obviously has had a lot more success in the romance department than either one of us has so far

I like this Pablo Novi guy a lot. He brings an interesting perspective. Anyone who has actually watched Mikan is going to have some cool stories and knowledge that no one else has.

i think at this point im just here for his stories about how much he does it with his wife lol its hilariously ridiculous

tbf im pretty sure both of us "arent about that life" but its still kind of amazing how he has done it more times in a day than my entire highschool combined

[wojoaderge]

This practice could even lead to missing more free throws, because instead of focusing on your follow through you are worrying about slapping both teammates hands in the paint.

Exactly

GOAT-Level Sex Yet Emotionally Even Better
Hey MyUniBroDavis,
Certainly one could get the impression that I'm personally MOSTLY into the physical, sexual aspect of the relationship I have with my baby. But, actually, that couldn't be further from the truth - hard to believe at first look as that may seem.

This woman and I LOVE each other more now than we did at our very beginning 30.5 years ago (and we started off "blindingly" crazy for each other). Please permit me to attempt to convince you (and anybody and everybody else who's interested) ...

1) We Are Physically Inseparable
Let's forget about the sex for the moment (well, forgetting about it is pretty much impossible - but let's TRY to put it on the back burner for the moment).

I'm semi-retired and do most of my work (psychological counseling, coaching, translating, etc) over the net. This gives us the opportunity to be together LOTS. In addition to sleeping pressed-up-against-each-other in a tiny bed each night; when one of us goes out of the house (the other is ALWAYS alongside). We walk hand-in-hand; stop frequently (usually underneath a tree full of flowers) to kiss. We'll interrupt things for a hug. If we hear music; we ALWAYS stop to dance. We shop together, go to offices together and love crowded elevators because then no one can complain when we're sandwiched tight together.

2) As Professional Dancers
She is a professional dancer. I've noted that I make lists of "everything". So one day I started asking her to name the STYLES of dance that she had mastered. I listed over SIXTY STYLES!

As her partner (and we aren't comfortable dancing with any other partners), I FAKE being good at 60 styles lol.

We dance EVERY WEEKEND.

For the period, 2005-2012, we lived in a small town (5,000 people) in the northern State of Mexico, Sonora, and every weekend of the year we hitchhiked to one of the surrounding towns to dance at their "Fiesta Patronal" (Patron Saint's annual Festival). We'd dance a minimum of 3 nights, 6 hours each; plus dance at any other time we ran across music - out IN the street, in front of people's houses, in their yards, in their houses, at schools, etc.

Each year, as a minimum, we did 50 Fiestas, X 3 nights = 150 dances a year X 7 years = over 1,000 dances!

People in the small towns tend to be a bit shy at the beginning of a dance; so we'd make it a point to always be there BEFORE the dance actually was supposed to start; and as the technicians started to set up the speakers and test the music balance - we'd start dancing. This would really get the crew fired up - and everybody would get on "the horn" to let everybody (not just in THAT town, but in the entire region) that the dance was ON!

These 1,000 dances, each and all of them, would turn into near sexual-frenzies. My baby "dresses to kill". It is the ONLY thing that I "decide" - that she never cover those knock-out legs or that incredible "rack" - so she dresses "barely legal" - and that's when she's standing still.

Pretty much right before we go out to go to the dance, she'll say to me, "Pablo, how can I go out dressed like this?" And I always respond, "Babe, if it's not illegal, then it's legal." If you think of her ultra-micro-mini-skirts as little more than belts - then you're in the ball park. (Of course, anytime you look at a TV, you'll see ballerinas, skaters, gymnasts dressed as scantily - so it's not like she's being scandalous. It is simply part of being a female people's artist.)

Once on the dance floor, the ultra-micro-mini skirt begins to move and HYPNOTIZE. It's mind-boggling what it does. We all know that men can't resist a beautiful woman, particularly one who dresses like that and moves 100% sensually; but it's the WOMEN who really blow me away.

They'll catch a glimpse of her, see the mini-skirt do its thing - and as their faces start to change color (out of a combination of embarrassment and excitation), this beatific smile spreads across their faces and their eyes just lock on to the mini-skirt "begging" for more.

Of course, for the guys, they just love this reaction in the women. Patty does "all the work for them"; and the women are just dying for some guy to come up and ask them to dance.

At every dance, it becomes this utterly romantic scene - from all directions, riverlets of dancers pouring in to the center of the plaza (or dance hall) and then dancing pressed up against each other like their lives depended on it; each partner fully feeling what makes the other person so attractive.

For ourselves, because we are ALWAYS physically "on top of each other"; when we dance, we dance the opposite - hand in hand, but almost always slightly apart - so that everyone can see her in her full glory.

3) Identical Tastes In Just About Everything
She was born in Mexico City; I, just outside NYC in New Jersey (so we have the "big city" in common; but not much else). I started listening to, and loving, Rock-n-roll from the very beginning of Rock-n-roll in 1955 (my dad bought each of his kids their first radio). When we first met, what a surprise that she had been listening to and likeing rock also.

It turned out we liked the same styles of music, even the same bands (about the only exception was she, as do many Mexicans, loved Creedence Clearwater Revival; and while, I liked them, I got easily bored by them because it seemed to me that everytime they learned a new note, they put out another song; and everytime they learned a new cord, they put out a new album).

We felt/feel the same way about gods and religions (both being long-time atheists - though almost all of our friends are believers of one kind or another.)

We were completely united about how to raise our kids. And we home-schooled them for their first few years - with great success ... very independent-thinking adults they've turned into.

We feel virtually identically about politics. Sting: "The politicians all seem like game-show hosts to me!"

And, most important of all, we NEED a partner who is "encimoso" (on top of each other).

4) We WORK Together
In addition to being great at sex and dancing together, we also teach ESL together (using a super-efficient system I invented). We also are members of a Mariachi band (most of the members are older guys, life-long musicians; but when we travel far to some of the small towns, most or all of them can't handle that much travel and on-the-road hardships - so it's just the two of us). In every town, I do psychological-counseling - and she's always there for that - it builds tremendous confidence in people to know that we have made a relationship work this well.

5) We Ran Together
For the first decade, we ran together each day. She got pregnant about a half-hour after we first met (hmmm, lol); and we had one super-"interesting" race together some months after that. We did a half-marathon, and when she finished she was bloody "down there". My family was up in arms - "see, didn't we tell you a pregnant woman shouldn't be running, much less heavy mileage!" But, it turned out that her new shorts had just started chafing her inner thighs too much on that run. Phew!

Heck, she actually LOST weight during her first pregnancy - because she went from being out-of-shape into being a very good shape.

6) We TALK
We talk and talk and talk. About anything and everything. We ARE BEST FRIENDS - and never seem to get tired of sharing thoughts, impressions, convictions, questions, etc.
------
So, 100% contrary to the impression I may well have given that our relationship is pure sex - it is far, far, far from that. The sex is merely the icing on the cake - of course that icing just glazes the eyes!
-----
ABOUT DOING "IT" SO MUCH YOUR THING WIlTS OFF:
Imagine, if you will, this sexual "war". Our first night together, it was so hot and heavy that it was more like we slept in between going at it; than we went at it occasionally while mostly sleeping. And, what with my ultra-marathon conditioning; we just never let up. Seemingly, even that part of a man's anatomy, when TRAINED enough, can keep on keeping up!

Jolly gee, this post has just taken me an hour+ to write!

Do I get "Bonus Points" for giving so much to RealGM?

Sex, Other Exercise & Heart-Attacks
If you guys keep "insisting"; I hope you're prepared for me to keep "complying" with your requests! lol

Heart-attacks run in my family. My mom had 4, all massive - the last one took her out. My younger brother had one some years ago.

Knowing that my having a heart-attack eventually was pretty much inevitable - THAT was the INITIAL reason I started training so hard (running so much mileage). I was fighting as hard as I could to put off that heart-attack for as long as possible AND to have the best chance to survive it when it came.

So, 18 months ago, it STRUCK. We were where? In bed, where else! lol

I got dizzy, couldn't stand, sit, crouch, lie - nothing helped. I KNEW it was on.

At the hospital (famous for heart-specialists) the doctors were looking at me so strangely. At first, I had no idea why; I was busy concentrating on staying alive. But eventually they told me.

They had NEVER seen somebody surive such a massive heart-attack (I lost a full 1/3 of my heart's capacity to pump blood; and what was left had sprung leaks!)

I asked them what they were gonna attribute it to; and they said, well, it must be because your heart is over 2.5 times normal size and 3 times normal strength.

I spent a bit over a week there; and then went home. But there was another problem!

We hadn't made love in over a week!

Well, we made quick work of that!
The very first night it was FOUR TIMES! (Can't resist that Wild Honey smell, guys and gals!)

Crazy sh*t! I'm "working away" and have to repeatedly stop because what was left of my heart was mightily protesting!

And the 2nd night, four more. And the next two nights 3 more each. By the end of that first week, we had "made up for the lost time" and were back on "pace"!!! lol

Then it was back into the hospital for a pace-maker (those almost 4 decades of massive daily exercise had left me with serious arrhythmia problems.)

when I went in for my one-year echo-cardiogram; instead of it taking the usual 20 minutes; the doctor-technician guy went to a half-hour. Then an hour. I started getting seriously worried; but then I thought - "If it was really bad, I wouldn't be HERE; I'd be in Emergencies!" Then it hit me, the doctor was just refusing to believe the results and was checking and rechecking his machines and his readings. Finally at TWO BLEEPING HOURS, he "gave up". He looks at me and says (in Spanish), "What the BLEEP have you been up to, hijo de la chingada (son of a bitch!) ! How do YOU explain these results???"

I THOUGHT I knew what he was getting at; but I NEEDED to be sure - he had not YET told me what the results were. He responded, "You're off the charts! None of us have ever seen this type of recovery before. That's why I took so long, I just had to refuse to accept such ridiculous results. See this black spot here - that's dead tissue and all that's left of your heart-attack. What you have now is the heart of a very-healthy young man! So, again, please tell me what the bleep you've been up to!"

And I said, "Well, after the first 3 months (of pretty much doing nothing besides trying not to die), I got on my exercycle and I now have 9 months of 2.5 hours a day accumulated." (I didn't mention anything about our ongoing "sexual 'war'" - I wasn't betting they were gonna approve of THAT!)

I feel like the refs are acutely aware of what is best for the bottom line of the NBA. I do not agree that the NBA explicitly tells the refs what they want out of certain outcomes. I feel like as you become a veteran ref, you pick up things here and there such that you start to ref games that would benefit the NBA in general. So I guess I am going against two extreme view points here. Which are..

1) extreme view point #1: NBA is completely rigged and that Adam Silver explicitly tells the refs how they want certain games to be dictated. That is absurd and that for the NBA, there is too much of a risk to do this as the NBA would go out of business if anything was known. This does not happen. However....

2) extreme view point #2: NBA is 100% NOT rigged and the refs are independent entities where they just call the games like they see them. This is a naive point of view as well. If you work in corporate settings for a while, you begin to pick up things on how to act to better the overall well-being of your company. After a while, you do not need someone to explicitly tell you how to act, you just know. Similarly, the refs know what is the best for the NBA. And as such, they act to provide home teams few advantages here and there and to act to elongate the series to increase the bottom line for the NBA. No one has to be explicit (too much risk). Everyone know show things are like. Only the naive NBA fans think that these refs are like emotionally detached robots who are 100% impartial. Cut the BS. We know how the real world works.

We'd dance a minimum of 3 nights, 6 hours each; plus dance at any other time we ran across music - out IN the street, in front of people's houses, in their yards, in their houses, at schools, etc.

Each year, as a minimum, we did 50 Fiestas, X 3 nights = 150 dances a year X 7 years = over 1,000 dances!

People in the small towns tend to be a bit shy at the beginning of a dance; so we'd make it a point to always be there BEFORE the dance actually was supposed to start; and as the technicians started to set up the speakers and test the music balance - we'd start dancing. This would really get the crew fired up - and everybody would get on "the horn" to let everybody (not just in THAT town, but in the entire region) that the dance was ON!

These 1,000 dances, each and all of them, would turn into near sexual-frenzies. My baby "dresses to kill". It is the ONLY thing that I "decide" - that she never cover those knock-out legs or that incredible "rack" - so she dresses "barely legal" - and that's when she's standing still.

Pretty much right before we go out to go to the dance, she'll say to me, "Pablo, how can I go out dressed like this?" And I always respond, "Babe, if it's not illegal, then it's legal." If you think of her ultra-micro-mini-skirts as little more than belts - then you're in the ball park. (Of course, anytime you look at a TV, you'll see ballerinas, skaters, gymnasts dressed as scantily - so it's not like she's being scandalous. It is simply part of being a female people's artist.)

Once on the dance floor, the ultra-micro-mini skirt begins to move and HYPNOTIZE. It's mind-boggling what it does. We all know that men can't resist a beautiful woman, particularly one who dresses like that and moves 100% sensually; but it's the WOMEN who really blow me away.

They'll catch a glimpse of her, see the mini-skirt do its thing - and as their faces start to change color (out of a combination of embarrassment and excitation), this beatific smile spreads across their faces and their eyes just lock on to the mini-skirt "begging" for more.

Of course, for the guys, they just love this reaction in the women. Patty does "all the work for them"; and the women are just dying for some guy to come up and ask them to dance.

At every dance, it becomes this utterly romantic scene - from all directions, riverlets of dancers pouring in to the center of the plaza (or dance hall) and then dancing pressed up against each other like their lives depended on it; each partner fully feeling what makes the other person so attractive.

For ourselves, because we are ALWAYS physically "on top of each other"; when we dance, we dance the opposite - hand in hand, but almost always slightly apart - so that everyone can see her in her full glory.

3) Identical Tastes In Just About Everything
She was born in Mexico City; I, just outside NYC in New Jersey (so we have the "big city" in common; but not much else). I started listening to, and loving, Rock-n-roll from the very beginning of Rock-n-roll in 1955 (my dad bought each of his kids their first radio). When we first met, what a surprise that she had been listening to and likeing rock also.

It turned out we liked the same styles of music, even the same bands (about the only exception was she, as do many Mexicans, loved Creedence Clearwater Revival; and while, I liked them, I got easily bored by them because it seemed to me that everytime they learned a new note, they put out another song; and everytime they learned a new cord, they put out a new album).

We felt/feel the same way about gods and religions (both being long-time atheists - though almost all of our friends are believers of one kind or another.)

We were completely united about how to raise our kids. And we home-schooled them for their first few years - with great success ... very independent-thinking adults they've turned into.

We feel virtually identically about politics. Sting: "The politicians all seem like game-show hosts to me!"

And, most important of all, we NEED a partner who is "encimoso" (on top of each other).

4) We WORK Together
In addition to being great at sex and dancing together, we also teach ESL together (using a super-efficient system I invented). We also are members of a Mariachi band (most of the members are older guys, life-long musicians; but when we travel far to some of the small towns, most or all of them can't handle that much travel and on-the-road hardships - so it's just the two of us). In every town, I do psychological-counseling - and she's always there for that - it builds tremendous confidence in people to know that we have made a relationship work this well.

5) We Ran Together
For the first decade, we ran together each day. She got pregnant about a half-hour after we first met (hmmm, lol); and we had one super-"interesting" race together some months after that. We did a half-marathon, and when she finished she was bloody "down there". My family was up in arms - "see, didn't we tell you a pregnant woman shouldn't be running, much less heavy mileage!" But, it turned out that her new shorts had just started chafing her inner thighs too much on that run. Phew!

Heck, she actually LOST weight during her first pregnancy - because she went from being out-of-shape into being a very good shape.

6) We TALK
We talk and talk and talk. About anything and everything. We ARE BEST FRIENDS - and never seem to get tired of sharing thoughts, impressions, convictions, questions, etc.
------
So, 100% contrary to the impression I may well have given that our relationship is pure sex - it is far, far, far from that. The sex is merely the icing on the cake - of course that icing just glazes the eyes!
-----
ABOUT DOING "IT" SO MUCH YOUR THING WIlTS OFF:
Imagine, if you will, this sexual "war". Our first night together, it was so hot and heavy that it was more like we slept in between going at it; than we went at it occasionally while mostly sleeping. And, what with my ultra-marathon conditioning; we just never let up. Seemingly, even that part of a man's anatomy, when TRAINED enough, can keep on keeping up!
-----
Jolly gee, this post has just taken me an hour+ to write!

Do I get "Bonus Points" for giving so much to RealGM?

oh lol no i wasnt implying that dont worry. im sure u guys have a great relationship lol, i was just saying i dont think of sex as the holy grail like some others do/am not like actively trying to lose my virginity

not gonna lie, ur relationship seems like the most adorable thing i ever read in alot of ways lol.

edit: this has gone so far off topic and i love it lol

My friend,
When you get to this age, you're either dead, a complete fool or you've learned a few important lessons.

I like to THINK (who really knows???) that I'm neither dead nor a complete fool; so, ASSUMING that, what important lessons might I have learned?

#3 BE CAREFUL
I DID assume you were NOT thinking my/our relationship was only or mostly sexual; but you're not the only one that'll probably read these posts - and, YOUR post, made me realize that I should address the NON-sexual aspects of our relationship so that more (mostly young guys) people wouldn't think that either: I'm a sex-fiend (well, maybe I am???) or a braggart (definitely not me - even I wouldn't have the imagination big enough to invent what goes on with this beauty by my side. Most importantly, I'd never want to leave the impression amongst "you impressionable youth" (lol) that sex is the ONLY key to love-relationships.

Being careful is also the main reason for these god-awfully long posts of mine. I'm always thinking, "What if I didn't explain things well enough? What objections/questions are gonna be raised?" Eric Burdon: "Oh Lord, Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood!"

#2 TRY TO BE A GOOD EXAMPLE
Imo, finding the right love-partner in our society is such a crap-shoot, it's a shame. So, now that I've hit the GOAT Jackpot; I feel like I should SHARE my thoughts about what is involved; about what is required. And while I'm SURE that sex IS the key (as much sex as both partners can handle without being too "knocked out" to fulfill their other responsibilities enough); there does tend to be more to building and maintaining a good relationship than just "banging regularly".

#1 YOU ARE TODAY WHAT YOU PRACTICED YESTERDAY
You know the saying, "You are what you eat." Nah. You ARE today what you practiced yesterday; you'll be tomorrow, what you practice today.

A reverse way to put this is: If you cut corners (especially MORAL corners); you'll quickly turn yourself into a corner-cutter - a cheat. The more you do that, the weaker you make yourself. Soon enough, MUCH sooner than most people even suspect; you've turned yourself into a worm (no offense to the worms of the world, lol) - and you're faced with a really touch situation: you no longer have either the willpower or the ability to chose to do the necessary work to "re-make" yourself back into a highly-moral person.

Btw, It wasn't I (Pablo) who started this whole thing! lol
I made a post about how I'm always counting things and making (GOAT) lists and stuff. The first response was to only ONE of the some DOZEN examples I gave - THE one about our GOAT-level sex. What could I do then? Not respond? lol

How does this "you are what you practiced" idea relate to my posts about my/our (sex) life?
Well, guys don't really need a whole lot of help to be thinking about sex (we tend to think about it like 6 times a minute - is that even possible? must be!) But realizing BOTH that as-a-couple it is HUGE AND that it is not ALL there is - that IS an important set of points.

I feel like the refs are acutely aware of what is best for the bottom line of the NBA. I do not agree that the NBA explicitly tells the refs what they want out of certain outcomes. I feel like as you become a veteran ref, you pick up things here and there such that you start to ref games that would benefit the NBA in general. So I guess I am going against two extreme view points here. Which are..

1) extreme view point #1: NBA is completely rigged and that Adam Silver explicitly tells the refs how they want certain games to be dictated. That is absurd and that for the NBA, there is too much of a risk to do this as the NBA would go out of business if anything was known. This does not happen. However....

2) extreme view point #2: NBA is 100% NOT rigged and the refs are independent entities where they just call the games like they see them. This is a naive point of view as well. If you work in corporate settings for a while, you begin to pick up things on how to act to better the overall well-being of your company. After a while, you do not need someone to explicitly tell you how to act, you just know. Similarly, the refs know what is the best for the NBA. And as such, they act to provide home teams few advantages here and there and to act to elongate the series to increase the bottom line for the NBA. No one has to be explicit (too much risk). Everyone know show things are like. Only the naive NBA fans think that these refs are like emotionally detached robots who are 100% impartial. Cut the BS. We know how the real world works.

I think this is a pretty decent post / analysis.

I just don't agree with one of your examples, the one about how "refs elongating series" is a good example of slightly-biased reffing.

Take the CURRENT Play-Offs, we have 3 sweeps already - with a 4th possible. That's a pretty high percent of maximum-SHORT series. Some of those games have been close enough for the refs, if they had wanted to (or been instructed to by the Commish) ... for the refs to have tweaked the outcome (to prevent the sweeps) - but they clearly have not.

I THINK your "home-game" ref bias point is pretty clear.
It WOULD be REALLY hard for ALL the refs all-game-long to not (at least sub-consciously) be swayed by 20,000 screaming fans begging/demanding a favorable decision on a judgment-call or two or three.

Well, it is certainly possible that 2016-17 playoffs is an anomaly. And I am not suggesting that the refs completely go out of their ways to rig the series. I am talking about small biases that can propel ways to best optimize the outcome for the NBA. Moreover, the NBA ref being biased might come naturally without any explicit (nor implicit) instructions from the NBA. The ref might just be even misguided to think that he should be biased because he has deduced the needs of a massive billion dollar corporation in his head. I really think that once you work in a corporate environment where there exists subtle cues that manifest itself from the higher ups to the bottom down, you will get what I mean. Or else, it is difficult to be convinced by what I am saying.

Wilt, Self-Ish?
Before I forget, let me apologize to the poster who says his dad is my age and holds that Wilt is the GOAT (and MJ had bad fundamentals). Why apologize? Because this post is for you (or, more accurately, for YOUR DAD) - but; being the old fool I am, I can't find that post.

There is this almost universal sense that Wilt Chamberlain was a selfish player; who mostly or even only cared about his own stats.

Allow me to suggest to you all why you might want to very much re-think this.

WILT's GREATEST B-BALL RECORD:
People who were around back then (all two of us???); might remember something about Wilt that was absolutely incredible BACK THEN; and just mind-boggling looking back from a half-century-plus later.

Wilt put his bleeping skin on the line, on a day-ly base-c's (to "quote" Lui Marco, youtuber).

It's the very late 50's and early 60's and racism, bigotry, discrimination and violence is the "name of the game" ALL across America.

For college, Wilt arrives in Kansas. He goes out to eat and finds he can't enter some restaurants, can't sit in the front in others. So he goes in anyways, sits in the front, orders his meal and waits to see which comes first - the food or the tomb. Sure he was a monster of a man; but that does you not one lick-spittle of good against a bullet or a whip. Those restaurants (and public transportation buses and many other businesses) were NOT segregationist merely on a whim - it was state-wide "policy" supported AGGRESSIVELY by the MAJORITY of white America.

Nobody was paying Wilt (and his teammates who frequently joined in) to risk his life doing that.
Nobody was gonna be witness to his greatness if he had been cut down BEFORE he mostly even got started. Yet, there he was - laying EVERYTHING ON THE LINE.

Now, YOU tell ME that Wilt was selfish!

What did he accomplish; with this constant, even DAILY risking of his life?
He first integrated an entire CITY - Kansas City; then an entire STATE; then an entire REGION.
Mostly he did this "single-handedly".

Personally, I've spent the last more than half-a-century being a heavy-duty peace-justice activist - but even I don't make the claim to have done nearly as much as Wilt did. What have all the rest of you done that is even 1% of what Wilt did FOR OTHERS?

So, NOW, why would such a MORAL-GIANT of a MAN start playing a GAME only or mostly for his own self-gratification or to impress others? To me, it makes ZERO sense.

Wilt's incredible numbers were due to something else than his ego. They were due to:
A) He WAS the Greatest Athlete Of The Entire 20th Century - he was an absolute FREAK of nature. It is NO EXAGGERATION to state that he had World-Class: quickness, speed, vertical jumping ability, horizontal jumping ability, strength and stamina.

B) His bleeping coaches asked him to rack up those gargantuan numbers - and he DID do what his coaches asked of him. When he averaged nearly 40ppg in his first season and his team still couldn't compete with the All-Star Celtics team; his coach told him the TEAM needed more, LOTS more. Wilt obliged. Years later, when his coach told him, "We've got plenty of scoring talent on this team; it'd be best if you dominate in the other areas" - he did something that's never been done before or since, a Center leading the League in assists (he also grabbed a ton of rebounds, etc).

Remember, "Selfish" Wilt could still pile on the points (he racked up a few big-points games); but he CHOSE to do so only RARELY because that is not what the TEAM needed from him most of the time.

My man,
I'm gonna assume that I just didn't do a good enough job of explaining my points.
1) I AGREE with your basic point - that there IS naturally some ref-bias but that it is NOT a conspiracy (and I like most of your thinking and examples);
but, as a MINOR point,
2) That your choice to include the example of "elongating P-O series" is probably not the best example.

btw, being 67 years old, I've racked up "my fair share" of being a member (more than occasionally a Leader) of large organizations of people. I've experienced "corporate culture" plenty enough to recognize the truth of your point about it - that it, in effect, re-creates itself thru any number of subtle and not-so-subtle actions, words and "clues".

Yeah.. I guess I have nothing to add. I think you know what might be happening here.

Refs at all levels tend to favor better teams. Maybe it's unconsciously. When I played city rec league ball and company ball, the calls varied on how good the teams were that I played on.
I played on some good teams, and we got calls. I played on some horrible teams, and we didn't get any calls.
Why is that? Are refs making conscious decisions to deliberately try to favor the better team?
Probably not. But refs are quite aware of which teams are better teams and which players are better. If you're playing on a bad team, it's going to be real hard to get a call...because the refs, knowing your team is terrible, can't consciously believe you were good enough to get a call. You basically had to get hammered to the point of getting knocked down to get a call playing on a bad team.
Because unless you're a star playing on a bad team (and bad teams are usually bad because they have no stars), you're not going to get a call.

Well, I would say that if you jump into the minds of a NBA ref, he (she) knows that he is employed by the NBA. And I suspect that he thinks about what are some of the things that he can do to elongate his employment with the NBA. He realizes that he is not Lebron James and the "good life" that he has can come to end abruptly. With this line of reasoning, you can't help but feel that he just cannot be an impartial arbiter of how he should judge an NBA game but has an overall agenda himself.

So I believe that once you get into the mind of a typical NBA ref who earns quite a bit of money thanks to his employment with the NBA, you can see point out where possible biases might occur.

Spoiler:

lol i dont actually care about not dojngnit yet cuz tbh im more about the "emotional connection" and cheesy crap like that. i feel bad saying his nut half the time the chase is the fun part lol. also i go to a pretty small school and everyone knows each other so tbh id feel awkward "doing it" unless i dated the person for awhile (idk its a bit different being raised in a international school in a third world country)

also if i did it 7 times in a day i think it would literally melt off. like it would literally just shrivel up into a raisan and fall off.

GOAT-Level Sex Yet Emotionally Even Better
Hey MyUniBroDavis,
Certainly one could get the impression that I'm personally MOSTLY into the physical, sexual aspect of the relationship I have with my baby. But, actually, that couldn't be further from the truth - hard to believe at first look as that may seem.

This woman and I LOVE each other more now than we did at our very beginning 30.5 years ago (and we started off "blindingly" crazy for each other). Please permit me to attempt to convince you (and anybody and everybody else who's interested) ...

1) We Are Physically Inseparable
Let's forget about the sex for the moment (well, forgetting about it is pretty much impossible - but let's TRY to put it on the back burner for the moment).

I'm semi-retired and do most of my work (psychological counseling, coaching, translating, etc) over the net. This gives us the opportunity to be together LOTS. In addition to sleeping pressed-up-against-each-other in a tiny bed each night; when one of us goes out of the house (the other is ALWAYS alongside). We walk hand-in-hand; stop frequently (usually underneath a tree full of flowers) to kiss. We'll interrupt things for a hug. If we hear music; we ALWAYS stop to dance. We shop together, go to offices together and love crowded elevators because then no one can complain when we're sandwiched tight together.

2) As Professional Dancers
She is a professional dancer. I've noted that I make lists of "everything". So one day I started asking her to name the STYLES of dance that she had mastered. I listed over SIXTY STYLES!

As her partner (and we aren't comfortable dancing with any other partners), I FAKE being good at 60 styles lol.

We dance EVERY WEEKEND.

For the period, 2005-2012, we lived in a small town (5,000 people) in the northern State of Mexico, Sonora, and every weekend of the year we hitchhiked to one of the surrounding towns to dance at their "Fiesta Patronal" (Patron Saint's annual Festival). We'd dance a minimum of 3 nights, 6 hours each; plus dance at any other time we ran across music - out IN the street, in front of people's houses, in their yards, in their houses, at schools, etc.

Each year, as a minimum, we did 50 Fiestas, X 3 nights = 150 dances a year X 7 years = over 1,000 dances!

People in the small towns tend to be a bit shy at the beginning of a dance; so we'd make it a point to always be there BEFORE the dance actually was supposed to start; and as the technicians started to set up the speakers and test the music balance - we'd start dancing. This would really get the crew fired up - and everybody would get on "the horn" to let everybody (not just in THAT town, but in the entire region) that the dance was ON!

These 1,000 dances, each and all of them, would turn into near sexual-frenzies. My baby "dresses to kill". It is the ONLY thing that I "decide" - that she never cover those knock-out legs or that incredible "rack" - so she dresses "barely legal" - and that's when she's standing still.

Pretty much right before we go out to go to the dance, she'll say to me, "Pablo, how can I go out dressed like this?" And I always respond, "Babe, if it's not illegal, then it's legal." If you think of her ultra-micro-mini-skirts as little more than belts - then you're in the ball park. (Of course, anytime you look at a TV, you'll see ballerinas, skaters, gymnasts dressed as scantily - so it's not like she's being scandalous. It is simply part of being a female people's artist.)

Once on the dance floor, the ultra-micro-mini skirt begins to move and HYPNOTIZE. It's mind-boggling what it does. We all know that men can't resist a beautiful woman, particularly one who dresses like that and moves 100% sensually; but it's the WOMEN who really blow me away.

They'll catch a glimpse of her, see the mini-skirt do its thing - and as their faces start to change color (out of a combination of embarrassment and excitation), this beatific smile spreads across their faces and their eyes just lock on to the mini-skirt "begging" for more.

Of course, for the guys, they just love this reaction in the women. Patty does "all the work for them"; and the women are just dying for some guy to come up and ask them to dance.

At every dance, it becomes this utterly romantic scene - from all directions, riverlets of dancers pouring in to the center of the plaza (or dance hall) and then dancing pressed up against each other like their lives depended on it; each partner fully feeling what makes the other person so attractive.

For ourselves, because we are ALWAYS physically "on top of each other"; when we dance, we dance the opposite - hand in hand, but almost always slightly apart - so that everyone can see her in her full glory.

3) Identical Tastes In Just About Everything
She was born in Mexico City; I, just outside NYC in New Jersey (so we have the "big city" in common; but not much else). I started listening to, and loving, Rock-n-roll from the very beginning of Rock-n-roll in 1955 (my dad bought each of his kids their first radio). When we first met, what a surprise that she had been listening to and likeing rock also.

It turned out we liked the same styles of music, even the same bands (about the only exception was she, as do many Mexicans, loved Creedence Clearwater Revival; and while, I liked them, I got easily bored by them because it seemed to me that everytime they learned a new note, they put out another song; and everytime they learned a new cord, they put out a new album).

We felt/feel the same way about gods and religions (both being long-time atheists - though almost all of our friends are believers of one kind or another.)

We were completely united about how to raise our kids. And we home-schooled them for their first few years - with great success ... very independent-thinking adults they've turned into.

We feel virtually identically about politics. Sting: "The politicians all seem like game-show hosts to me!"

And, most important of all, we NEED a partner who is "encimoso" (on top of each other).

4) We WORK Together
In addition to being great at sex and dancing together, we also teach ESL together (using a super-efficient system I invented). We also are members of a Mariachi band (most of the members are older guys, life-long musicians; but when we travel far to some of the small towns, most or all of them can't handle that much travel and on-the-road hardships - so it's just the two of us). In every town, I do psychological-counseling - and she's always there for that - it builds tremendous confidence in people to know that we have made a relationship work this well.

5) We Ran Together
For the first decade, we ran together each day. She got pregnant about a half-hour after we first met (hmmm, lol); and we had one super-"interesting" race together some months after that. We did a half-marathon, and when she finished she was bloody "down there". My family was up in arms - "see, didn't we tell you a pregnant woman shouldn't be running, much less heavy mileage!" But, it turned out that her new shorts had just started chafing her inner thighs too much on that run. Phew!

Heck, she actually LOST weight during her first pregnancy - because she went from being out-of-shape into being a very good shape.

6) We TALK
We talk and talk and talk. About anything and everything. We ARE BEST FRIENDS - and never seem to get tired of sharing thoughts, impressions, convictions, questions, etc.
------
So, 100% contrary to the impression I may well have given that our relationship is pure sex - it is far, far, far from that. The sex is merely the icing on the cake - of course that icing just glazes the eyes!
-----
ABOUT DOING "IT" SO MUCH YOUR THING WIlTS OFF:
Imagine, if you will, this sexual "war". Our first night together, it was so hot and heavy that it was more like we slept in between going at it; than we went at it occasionally while mostly sleeping. And, what with my ultra-marathon conditioning; we just never let up. Seemingly, even that part of a man's anatomy, when TRAINED enough, can keep on keeping up!
-----
Jolly gee, this post has just taken me an hour+ to write!

Do I get "Bonus Points" for giving so much to RealGM?

oh lol no i wasnt implying that dont worry. im sure u guys have a great relationship lol, i was just saying i dont think of sex as the holy grail like some others do/am not like actively trying to lose my virginity

not gonna lie, ur relationship seems like the most adorable thing i ever read in alot of ways lol.

edit: this has gone so far off topic and i love it lol

Maybe you guys could move this conversation to the OT thread. Kinda derailing things here.

Wilt, Self-Ish?
Before I forget, let me apologize to the poster who says his dad is my age and holds that Wilt is the GOAT (and MJ had bad fundamentals). Why apologize? Because this post is for you (or, more accurately, for YOUR DAD) - but; being the old fool I am, I can't find that post.

There is this almost universal sense that Wilt Chamberlain was a selfish player; who mostly or even only cared about his own stats.

Allow me to suggest to you all why you might want to very much re-think this.

WILT's GREATEST B-BALL RECORD:
People who were around back then (all two of us???); might remember something about Wilt that was absolutely incredible BACK THEN; and just mind-boggling looking back from a half-century-plus later.

Wilt put his bleeping skin on the line, on a day-ly base-c's (to "quote" Lui Marco, youtuber).

It's the very late 50's and early 60's and racism, bigotry, discrimination and violence is the "name of the game" ALL across America.

For college, Wilt arrives in Kansas. He goes out to eat and finds he can't enter some restaurants, can't sit in the front in others. So he goes in anyways, sits in the front, orders his meal and waits to see which comes first - the food or the tomb. Sure he was a monster of a man; but that does you not one lick-spittle of good against a bullet or a whip. Those restaurants (and public transportation buses and many other businesses) were NOT segregationist merely on a whim - it was state-wide "policy" supported AGGRESSIVELY by the MAJORITY of white America.

Nobody was paying Wilt (and his teammates who frequently joined in) to risk his life doing that.
Nobody was gonna be witness to his greatness if he had been cut down BEFORE he mostly even got started. Yet, there he was - laying EVERYTHING ON THE LINE.

Now, YOU tell ME that Wilt was selfish!

What did he accomplish; with this constant, even DAILY risking of his life?
He first integrated an entire CITY - Kansas City; then an entire STATE; then an entire REGION.
Mostly he did this "single-handedly".

Personally, I've spent the last more than half-a-century being a heavy-duty peace-justice activist - but even I don't make the claim to have done nearly as much as Wilt did. What have all the rest of you done that is even 1% of what Wilt did FOR OTHERS?

So, NOW, why would such a MORAL-GIANT of a MAN start playing a GAME only or mostly for his own self-gratification or to impress others? To me, it makes ZERO sense.

Wilt's incredible numbers were due to something else than his ego. They were due to:
A) He WAS the Greatest Athlete Of The Entire 20th Century - he was an absolute FREAK of nature. It is NO EXAGGERATION to state that he had World-Class: quickness, speed, vertical jumping ability, horizontal jumping ability, strength and stamina.

B) His bleeping coaches asked him to rack up those gargantuan numbers - and he DID do what his coaches asked of him. When he averaged nearly 40ppg in his first season and his team still couldn't compete with the All-Star Celtics team; his coach told him the TEAM needed more, LOTS more. Wilt obliged. Years later, when his coach told him, "We've got plenty of scoring talent on this team; it'd be best if you dominate in the other areas" - he did something that's never been done before or since, a Center leading the League in assists (he also grabbed a ton of rebounds, etc).

Remember, "Selfish" Wilt could still pile on the points (he racked up a few big-points games); but he CHOSE to do so only RARELY because that is not what the TEAM needed from him most of the time.

Something else I'll repeat (ad nauseum) about Wilt is how close he came during his high-scoring days to beating the Celtics. Wilt lost two conf. finals against the Celts on last-second plays and several more because of injuries during the playoffs to himself or other key players later in the sixties when he wasn't scoring as many pts.
If you look at the history of the Celtics during the Russell years, they usually had all their key players healthy for the playoffs. One pertinent exception was in '58 when Russell severely sprained his ankle in the finals against the Hawks and the Celts lost in six games. Nobody said Russell was faking it when he sat out two games and only played 20 minutes in the sixth and last game.
But when Wilt twisted his knee in the seventh game of the '69 finals and had to sit down for a few minutes to get it worked on, AND HIS COACH REFUSED TO PUT HIM BACK IN THE GAME WHEN HE ASKED TO GO BACK IN!!!, he was accused of faking his injury. Jerry West was furious after the game that Lakers coach Butch Van Bredakolff didn't put Wilt back in the game.
But during the sixties the Celts managed to have their best players healthy for the playoffs. Especially their superstars. Not talked about a lot, but Russell, Havlicek, and Sam Jones were all in the top ten of players in the league after Havlicek's rookie year. Chamberlain, Robertson, West and Baylor mostly didn't have that third superstar to help them. It wasn't until Wilt joined the Lakers that West and Baylor had that third superstar. And only a few lucky shots by the Celtics in two different games kept the Lakers from winning.
There were three finals where injuries to Wilt or other key players basically killed their chances for a title. And Baylor missed one whole playoff series/finals and West two. From Havlicek's rookie year on, he, Russell, and S. Jones didn't miss any playoffs or finals.
In short, Wilt was maybe the unluckiest great player in history. Unless, of course, you want to mention Baylor and West who lost three finals on one play and another finals by two points in the seventh game.
Wilt was criticized for scoring a lot of points and losing, while together West and Baylor averaged more ppg but never beat the Celtics in the finals even when healthy.
The sixties played over again with the same players, with a modicum of good fortune Wilt wins four or five titles. And maybe a few more in the early seventies.

Nice to see someone who ranks Karl Malone in top 10. He was one of those players I despised when he was active (because he was dirty on the court and did some shameful things off the court), but looking back at his career, I have the utmost respect for what he did, championship or not. He was just so good for so long.

In general, I really like the fact that your top 15 isn't skewed in favor of any particular generation, even though old timers like yourself usually tend to overrate players from the 60s. Well done in this regard.

I find it very surprising that you don't have Russell in your top 15, though.

I have ALWAYS had the utmost respect for the Big O - as a player, player's rep and as a person. BUT, in the recent past, he's been asked about his "GOAT" list and he, imo, over-rates his era and under-rates the others. This DISAPPOINTED me so much - I thought he was better than that.

But WHO is the All-Time Great who does NOT over-value his own decade?

P.S. Do you have any idea how hard it is (at least for me!) to get used to being and being called an "old-timer"???? lol! I still spend 2.5 hours every day on my exercycle (with heavy-duty wrist-weights on my .... wrists (SURPRISE!)) and still make love with my ever-loving, never-saying-"no", gorgeous wife everyday and, frankly, I go through life still feeling like a kid in a candy store - but things are starting to break down, little by little, more and more. Can't read without glasses and can't read WITH glasses all the small type on food cans etc. (SUCKS!) What small amount of visible muscle mass I had - gone (and I DO look for it at times!). Hair on my head? - none of your business! Sleep problems - in spades. Memory loss ...
what was that last point?

And, each year, my posts seem to get longer and longer. WTF?

Mick Jagger said it best, "What a drag it is getting old!" (stfu Mick!)

I thought that does out when you have kids?

Also congrats you've "made more love" in one day than me in 16 years lol

Thanx for the compliments.

Thru no fault of my own (other than "choosing" my parents), I was born "half-calculator / half-boy" - and have been making rankings lists since I could count. In a super-intolerant age, my dad was super-tolerant and that rubbed off on me. So, I'm always TRYING (who's to say how well I succeed) to ensure that I fight MY OWN would-be biases.

The first PRACTICAL key event for me was the arrival of Wilt on the pro b-ball scene. Everyone, without exception, "KNEW" that Mikan was and would always be the GOAT - his career was that much greater than all before him. Yet after a year with the Globetrotters and less than a year in the NBA, it was undeniable that Wilt was WAY the bleep better than Mr. Basketball.

And this rocked my little world - everybody had been so sure; it seemed so obvious. But it turned out not only false; but that particular myth didn't last all that long. THAT lesson stuck with me ever since - and I believe I've been extra-careful to be as fair as possible in "all directions": be they team-wise, nationality, position, League, decade etc.

As a practical matter, the player's ranking that most goes against my gut-instinct is Elgin Baylor. I loved that guy (he "invented" hang-time). Most of my All-Time Favorite One-Play Highlights involve Dr J; but my #1 is a time when Elgin went flying sideways across the key for a dunk - only to face Wilt ... Elgin flipped the ball to his other hand and still dunked over him.

But I can't put all of: Wilt, West, O, Elgin and Russell at the very top of my GOAT list.

So, I approach my GOAT list, position by position and draw up a GOAT list for each position FIRST; based principally on each's number of "Great Years" as defined by selections to the All-League 1st-Teams or 2nd-Teams. On MY GOAT list, this results in Wilt being GOAT #2 Center; O being GOAT #2 PG; Jerry West being GOAT #3 SG; Elgin being GOAT #4 SF; and Russell being GOAT #5. (Thus the 60's get 5 players in my GOAT Top 25).

Specifically, Karl Malone had ELEVEN All-League 1st-Team selections (only Kobe and, in a few days, LeBron match that). This TEMPORARILY, vis-à-vis my GOAT list puts Karl as #1 PF; ahead of TD. BUT, while compared to TD, Karl had one more 1st-Team selection; TD had one more 2nd-Team selection - meaning the difference is tiny. Then other factors come into play for me - and I think TD has just enough advantage over Karl in the Post-Season to nudge ahead of him.

In terms of Bill Russell, his is easily THE most difficult ranking for me - because how can one argue against 11 Rings in 13 seasons? Still, they play (especially back then) only a small fraction as many P-O games as they do Reg. Season games; and THAT team was THE All-Star team of All-Time (having a higher percentage of all the League's best players compared to any other team in history - with Mikan's Lakers and the current Dubs as probably distant 2nd and 3rd in some order). Those C's BARELY won MANY of their P-O games and series AND, IMO, it was Red Auerbach who was the difference maker - he was FAR superior the coach (and GM) to anybody else during that era - EASILY worth 3 points a game! Further, in my entire GOAT Top 50, only Mikan is, imo, LESS-"TRANSFERABLE"; meaning, due to his insufficiencies on offense, Russell would have been a super-Rodman, a defensively-dominant player in any subsequent decade - but ranking lowest amongst the All-Time Greats of THAT decade.

Another thing, I believe that if Russell and Wilt were switched, Wilt's Celtics would have won at least 10 Chips and Russell's "new" teams would have won less Chips than they did with Wilt on them.

Further, there's no objective way I can rank Russell over Wilt. In years they both played, Wilt beat Russell in 1st-Team selections 7-2 - that's huge! So, given that Russell was "only" the 2nd-best Center in his own decade; I can't rank him any higher than 5th-best Center (behind: KAJ, Wilt, Shaq & barely Hakeem) or 21st on my GOAT list.

Undoubtedly this is my most controversial player-ranking in my entire GOAT Top 50 - but those are my reasons. I place less emphasis on (individual) success in the Post-Season than any other GOAT-list maker I'm aware of.

I started off this post saying I was born "half-calculator, half-boy". I'm SURE (lol) that you-all are just dying to know more about why I say this.

1. COUNTING CARS: Whenever we were in a car - I counted every vehicle we saw.

2. RANKING HARD-ROCK SONGS: For 50+ years I've been working on "Pablo's All-Time Greatest 1,000 Hard Rock Songs" (and, imHo, it is far superior to any other list I've ever seen; and I've seen hundreds);

3. COUTING CROSS-COUNTRY MILES I'VE RUN: i have a List of ALL my 40 years of running cross-country (all 262,200+ miles) with all the 100s of longer-than-a-marathon runs listed separately.

4. ENGLISH WORDS: I have a list of the hardest 1,000 frequent English words to learn (and am a teacher of ESL using "my" system).

5. RANKING SOFT-ROCK SONGS: I have a "Pablo's All-Time Greatest 1,000 Soft Rock Songs" (but it's for my personal list - nobody's gonna agree with it and I don't care in this case).

6. LOVE-MAKING LIST: I have a list of all 20,500+ times my baby and I have made love over the last 30.5 years.

7. OUR KIDS' "MINI-MILESTONES" LIST: I have a list of all the "mini-milestones" our kids achieved as kids (first crawl, first step, first walk, first words, etc).

8. RANKINGS FOR LARGE GROUPS OF SIMILAR ITEMS: I have a list of ranking values one "should" assign to LARGE lists of similar items (like 1,000 top songs) - so that the total output of each "artist" or group can be compared to each other; as well as comparing one album to any other (based on its number of and ranking of top 1,000 songs); as well as comparing one year to any other; as well as comparing one lead-guitarist to any other.

9. 50 TOWNS WE DANCED IN ANNUALLY: I have a list of all 50 towns my baby and I danced in each year for 7 years (a few years ago).

10. PABLO'S "10 COMMANDMENTS": I have my own version of an "improved" "10 Commandments" ("God" did some super SUB-par work on "his" list, if you ask me - which you didn't!) Btw, "he" didn't even command us not to make war - which, imo, should be at or near the top of the list!

11. ISAAC ASIMOV CHARACTERS: I have a list of the main characters in Isaac Asimov's combined: Robot - Empire - Foundation Series books (17 books in all).

12. PABLO'S GREATEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME: I have a list of "Pablo's Greatest Movies Of All Time".

(One day, I played 25 games (and won all of them; and ALL of them were close games - I always played to the level of "my opposition".))

15. PABLO'S NBA/ABA/NBL GOAT LIST: Did I almost forget to include this one?

etc, etc.
N.B. the above list is just straight off the top of my head; I'm SURE there's dozens more. Will I add them on in a later post?

Holy crap you beat wilt

On a sidenote I think ur relationship with ur wife from a readers perspective is the most adorablest thing I've ever seen lol

Addicted; Peanut Halves; "You Beat Wilt"
I. ADDICTED:
You said, "I thought that does out when you have kids?" (referring to marital sexual activity).

Having been a marriage-counselor for over 50 years, I KNOW it to be a near-universal FACT that couples cut WAY back on the sex as the kids start popping out. Another way to put this is that they say, "If a couple puts a marble in a big jar everytime they make love their first year; and then they take one marble out everytime they make love after that - they'll never empty the jar."

BUT, THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS - our relationship just happens to be one of them (a particularly EXTREME exception). Chronologically this developed as follows:
1) During The Pregnancies:
We didn't slow down at all; although eventually, due to "size considerations", we were forced to mostly use other holes (LOL);

2) During The Infant Years:
Of course any good-quality new-mother is gonna allow her life to be thoroughly dominated by her infants' needs. Still, with our "No Veto-Power Over Sex" policy AND her ever-eagerness AND my always-readiness - whenever the babies weren't "running the show" - it was ON for us.

3) Since Then
The more you're used to doing something, the relatively more "automatic" it is that you'll keep doing it. We started off 2X a day; stayed at 2X a day for 26 whole years - and haven't faded much since then. Heck, most nights we don't do "it"; I don't sleep well - talk about getting used to something!

X) "What's Your Addiction, Pablo"
With all the dancing, mariachi-ing, couseling, running, etc. we do; we lead very public lives. This attracts tons of attention (overwhelming of the positive kinds). People are constantly coming up to me/us and saying things and asking things.

The guys'll ask me, "Pablo, you don't smoke (cigs or weed); you don't drink; you don't inhale; you don't shoot-up; you don't do crap! What's the matter with you; don't you have any addictions at all?"

And I answer them, "Well, I do have ONE addiction!" (And I point to my left, at her) ... "I'm addicted to her body and there is NO CURE!"

This is certainly the case.

For some reason, people just love that answer.

It's also the case that they (both men and women) can never get enough of hearing me talk about her (and what we do together, especially in bed; and, particularly, how she responds in bed - but that's for the next post!). It must be the combination of her being so exquisitely female (to an extreme degree amongst women) and me being so enslaved to her (to an extreme degree amongst men).
-----
II) "Like The Two Halves Of A Peanut:"
You said, "On a sidenote I think ur relationship with ur wife from a readers perspective is the most adorablest thing I've ever seen lol"

I/we thank you muchly for this compliment. "Adorable" is the exactly right word. Being INSIDE this relationship just blows my mind, non-stop. Except for brand-new in-love couples, we don't ever see a couple like us. (I/we really do feel for everybody else - that they don't experience hardly at all (if at all) what we experience every day - a mutual-love that makes each glow!

They have a saying in Mexico about a couple that gets along real well: "Como las dos mitades de la misma narranja!" ("Like the two halves of the same orange"). I have my own version of that, that seems (anatomically speaking) even more accurate: Like the two halves of the same peanut!"

In the 50 towns where we danced each year for 7 years, total population circa: 100,000 people; 99+% of the people loved us and ALL of them called me, "EL Suertudo" ("THE Lucky Guy"). Of course, they were 100% correct - it'd be awfully tuff to beat my luck being in her life; but, otoh, they THINK they know; they IMAGINE they know what it must be like - but they have only the slightest clue! They think nobody can dance better than she does - but, they haven't seen how she "dances" in bed!
-----
III) "Holy Crap, You Beat Wilt!"
It wasn't that many years into our relationship when I took a moment to calculate out where we might eventually get if we kept doing "it" twice a day. And, having "idolized" Wilt, I thought, "We could breaking his bleeping record at this rate!"

So I said that to Patty and she responded, "Great, let's do it!" (Don't you just love the sound of that coming from a woman?)

So I actually kept both a progressive count (of our total number of times) and a regressive count (how many more to top Wilt).

I should probably say something about Wilt's "record". People say that he could never have "done" 20,000 women. I would NEVER bet against Wilt in such a matter. He had UNLIMITED STAMINA and, seemingly, he really enjoyed pleasing women. COULD he have done it? SURE!

DID he do it? I have no idea.

btw, he did say, "Guys think that doing 1,000 women is great; but in my experience it's far better to do ONE woman a thousand times." How right he was! Now multiply THAT by 20!

Right on, brothers and sisters!

Picture how it is for us/me.
Frustration? Not for one second in almost a 1/3rd of a century!
Awkardness? Au contraire - we are 100% experts on "getting each other off".
Boring? Not when we do "it" in every possible position and hole; pretty much every session too! (And in this series of posts, I haven't even gotten, even mentioned, the best part of all - how she reacts in bed!)
"Headaches" and other excuses not to do it? She's never had a headache or "headache" that got in our way. Other excuses? Nope, none, nada, zilch.
"Middle of the night"? I really do TRY; but sometimes I can't resist just "attacking" her in the middle of the night. It might take her a moment to wake up; but, even then, she never says, "No".
In Public? So one time we're waiting at a bus stop. It's early, pre-dawn; it's dark. The kids are all in strollers fast asleep. Time for a quickie? Time for the nastiest of quickies? We get behind the bus bench with the view partially blocked also by a large traffic sign. Before we finish, up comes the bus. The headlights catch us for a second. Did the driver notice? But, No way could we stop before "completion". We finish (tbh, a bit "messy"), scrambling to adjust our clothes; climb up the bus stairs, pay the fair, giggling all the way to the back of the bus - and hoping that nobody can tell what we were just doing!

[Pablo Novi]

Banshee Screams
What makes my baby more incredible than anything else is what happens, what she does, when she's in the mood; when it's "her turn".

Perhaps you've caught/heard a porn scene where the woman goes off? Sometimes they get a bit noisy.

Not this woman, not Patty. Nothing "tame" like that.

For years, we had this apartment with a little hill behind it. I'd shut the windows and the squirrels could still hear her - and would, en masse, start scurrying all over the place. And all the birds would be chirping away - a complete racket. The single-father downstairs from us NEVER complained - and would have this most beatific of smiles on his face when he'd see us afterwards.

Years later, I still have to remember to close all the windows because she'll start SCREAMING - like a BANSHEE; like one of those Macaw-type birds that go, "QUAAAAAAAAUUUUU"; like "wake-up-the-dead" level. And she'll do that for as much as 45 minutes non-stop.

Symphony Of Femininity
Nothing in my entire quite-long life has ever shocked me like one of those sessions. It's a symphony of femininity - the raw power of it; the total loss of consciousness - going someplace - who knows where? Pure Animal.

More than anything else, it is THIS that has me in absolute AWE of her, the GODDESS OF LOVE.
