“How can Kobe be Top 1-2 scorer all time he only has two scoring titles”. It’s because Kobe wasn’t the ball hog yall think he is and he sacrificed to WIN. Kobe’s scoring finishes each season between 2001 - 2013: 2001 #4 at 28.5PPG sharing W/Shaq 2002 #6 at 25.2 PPG sharing W/Shaq 2003 #2 at 30 PPG sharing W/Shaq 2004 #4 at 24 PPG sharing W/Shaq *Shaq leaves: 2005 #2 at 27.7 PPG 2006 #1 at 35.4 PPG 2007 #1 at 31.6 PPG 2008 #2 at 28.3 PPG AS SOON AS HE LEAVES SHAQ, 4 years in a row Kobe finishes Top 2. Kobe playing with Shaq held back averages and scoring titles because he had to sacrifice to feed Shaq and keep the big man’s ego up. 2009 #3 at 26.8 PPG 2010 #4 at 27.0 PPG 2011 #5 at 25.3 PPG 2012 #2 at 27.9 PPG (sat out last game/lost by .01) 2013 #3 at 27.3 PPG (34 Y.O. no signs of slowing) 2014 injury that all but ended his career Kobe finished #2 four times and Shared 4 of these seasons with Shaq. Kobe CLEARLY could have had more scoring titles but was focused on winning. He wanted teammates he could trust and share the ball with. Kobe wasn’t a stat stuffer like people think. If he was he would have kept “trash” teammates and won the scoring title every year. He had that 35PPG just to show you what he could do if he wanted. That 35 PPG hadn’t been done since Jordan pulled it off in 1988 and wasn’t done again until 2018 when Harden did it. No one else will probably do that for another 15-20 years. Few other reasons why KOBE IS A TOP 1-2 SCORER ALL TIME. All accolades accomplished in the hardest era of all time IMO: -Had 4-game in a row w/50+ PTS in 2007 recording: 65PTS, 50PTS, 60PTS, 50PTS -Had 9-game stretch of 40PTS in 2003 Had 6 60PT games (2nd all time behind Wilt) -Had 25 50PT games (3rd all time behind Wilt/Jordan) -Had 122 40PT games (3rd all time behind Wilt/Jordan) -Led the league in total points 4 times -Scored the most PTS in the 2000s with 21,605 PTS -Most PTS scored in a modern era: 81 PTS -4th in all time points with 33,643 -Most points for a shooting guard all time -Scored 60 PTS at 37 years old (record) Kobe was an elite scorer and was only stopped because of injury. And this is why all that “Kobe had only two scoring titles” means nothing in regards to how elite of a scorer he is. There is no one you can name besides MJ in the modern era that had the scoring peak, ability and stats that Kobe had when it comes to scoring. There’s no one that measures up. NO ONE. Don’t let the scoring titles fool you. Kobe was pretty much Micheal Jordan in a better era when it comes to scoring (MJ still the GOAT though).

Isiah Thomas says MJ is not the GOAT because he lacks NBA records 🤦🏻‍♂️ "𝑴𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒆𝒍 𝑱𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒃𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒆𝒕𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔... 𝑲𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒎 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑳𝒆𝑩𝒓𝒐𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔.

Highest career PPG in regular season and playoffs Most points scored in a playoff game Most scoring titles all-time Most games without losing three times in a row Most consecutive games scoring in double figures Most 50 point games in the playoffs Only player to NEVER score less than 20 in the Finals. Most 40 point games in the playoffs Most Finals MVPs Most seasons with 200+steals + 100+blocks The most consecutive made field goals in the playoffs Since the merger he has the highest % of points in a Finals game (51%) Only player to win DPOTY & scoring title in the same year. Most seasons with scoring title and all-def Most made field goals in a playoff game Only player to never score less than 15 in the playoffs Most blocks by a guard in a single season Only rookie in recorded history to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists and steals Most game winning shots in NBA history Hey Isiah are these enough records for you?? Maybe Mike ending you and the Pistons relevance still has you in your feelings 🤔 Michelle Beadle keep speaking the truth 🤝 DeMarcus Cousins & Chandler Parsons learn the game, y’all embarrassing trying to diminish Mike (Stats The Jordan Truth, 🎥 Run It Back)

SGA’S EXCELLENCE: FUELING OKC’S DOMINANCE & AN MVP CAMPAIGN “That was a masterpiece,” said Thunder coach Mark Daigneault after Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 45-point outburst in Thursday’s win over Indiana. “Shai was outstanding … He was at his own pace the entire night. Great blend of passing and attacking. Great blend of shooting and attacking. He just had total control of the wheel.” SGA’s masterful outing extended the Thunder’s league-best win streak to nine games. Tonight, OKC will face Charlotte (6 PM ET, NBA TV), looking to match its longest win streak in a single season since 2013-14 — with Gilgeous-Alexander firmly in the driver’s seat. MVP Level: Ranked third on the Kia NBA MVP Ladder, SGA (31.1 ppg, 6.1 apg, 2.0 spg) is the only player in the league averaging 30+ points, 6+ assists and 2+ steals. Leveling Up: Amid the win streak, he’s elevated his game, averaging an NBA-best 33.8 points and 2.6 steals while raising both his FG% (54.2) and 3P% (37.3). In Thursday’s win, SGA shot 15-of-22 (68.2%) from the floor, 4-of-5 from deep (80%) and 11-for-11 (100%) from the line, becoming just the fourth player in NBA history to score 45+ points on 65/80/100 shooting splits or better. One game prior, he dropped 41 points with three steals and three blocks — a feat no other player has accomplished this season — proving his impact extends well beyond scoring. Since 2018-19, his first NBA season, SGA leads all players in 30+ point, 3+ steal games with 39. In that same span, he ranks first among guards in games of 3+ blocks and 3+ steals with seven. This season, SGA leads the Thunder in total steals (57) and blocks (32), and 72% of their forced turnovers come when he’s on the floor. His all-around excellence drives OKC’s success on both ends — at an unprecedented level — as it’s on pace to become the first team to record more steals than turnovers since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78. “There’s two sides of the ball on every possession,” said SGA after Monday’s win. “I try to affect the game anywhere I can on every possession and help my team win.” Tonight, the Thunder will not only look to match their longest single-season win streak since 2013-14 but also equal their best 30-game start since moving to Oklahoma City with 25 wins — a mark set by the ’13-14 squad. That team was led by Kevin Durant, who went on to win that season’s Kia NBA MVP. Eleven years later, OKC has another MVP-caliber player leading a historic start.

CADE LEVELS UP TO SEND PISTONS TO EAST SEMIFINALS One week ago, Cade Cunningham faced one of the biggest tests of his young career. The No. 1 Pistons were in a 3-1 hole against the No. 8 Magic after back-to-back losses. Cunningham had shot 15-of-46 in those losses while committing 17 turnovers – his most in any two-game span this season. Six days later, he walked off Detroit’s floor to a standing ovation – Game 7 in hand, and the Pistons’ first Playoff series win since 2008 was secured. To get there, he delivered his biggest three-game playoff stretch yet. Game 5 Eruption: Looking to avoid elimination on their home floor, Cunningham carried the Pistons with a franchise Playoff-record 45 points, winning an all-time duel with Paolo Banchero (45 pts). Game 6 Rally: Facing a 24-point deficit in Orlando, Cade (32 pts, 10 reb, 4 stl) sparked Detroit’s largest comeback of the season with 24 points and 9 boards in the 2nd half, sending the series back to Detroit Then, Game 7: The first of Cunningham’s career and one that will go down in the record books, as the 2x All-Star took over with 32 points, 12 assists and 2 blocks, scoring 17 in the 2nd half to send Detroit to the East Semis. Cade averaged 36.3 PPG, 5.0 RPG and 6.7 APG while shooting 61.1% from deep in Games 5-7 – numbers he’s never matched over any three-game span in his career. “We were pushed to the limit,” said Cunningham after Game 7. “I think we got a lot better from this series. I got a lot better from this series – I learned a lot about myself.”

Total BS. Kobe is ranked 10 or 11th all time Bill Simmons Tell me once when any player ever uttered “Kobe is my GOAT”. Name one player who stated “Duncan is the toughest to guard in the league”. Never been said once. But for Kobe, it’s said. “Duncan is our Jordan”. Never said about Duncan, but said about Kobe. Why don’t these people ever mention Duncan getting clapped up by Kobe in 2008? We’ll get there but There’s a host of other stuff to get into though 1st. Kobe not Top 10? Really? How, with this resume. And I’m not even going to mention everything: People leave Kobe off the top 5 list and it’s a shame because you claim to know ball. Let’s dig into this. People get on Kobe for winning with Shaq when you know good and well Kareem and Magic hasn’t done what Kobe has done. Kobe proved that he was an all time Top 5 legend by winning back to back Chips without a Top 75 Teammate POST SHAQ!! They said he couldn’t win without him and he DID, yet they you and the media still punish him. Kobe was already on pace to be a Top 15-20ish player had he never won anymore championships without Shaq because his talent demands that. But he did over and above that POST SHAQ. Kobe proved the “you can’t win without Shaq narrative” was a sham. Not only did he prove it wrong, he totally obliterate that stronghold the media put on his career. Kobe faced the toughest of competition, TORCHED his rival Tim Duncan, had an all time run from 08-10 that saw him outdual and beat the same teams in the finals that Lebron, his Co-Megastar of the league at the time, would lose to. Kobe was ONE of the reasons Wade teamed up with your #2 All time guy Lebron, to get rings in a league where the Celtics and Kobe seemed to be unbeatable to Lebron and Wade. People act like Kobe didn’t cross every box and jump every hurdle y’all put in front of him. He has championships, Consensus 1-2 Most skilled all time, Stats, 4th points all time (despite slow start to career) and is the 1-2 greatest scorer of all time considering he did what he did in the slowest paced era where the league still esteemed defense and drafted and paid big money in free agency for “KOBE STOPPERS”. AND HE DID ALL THIS IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE!! 25-10 vs. 50 WIN PLAYOFF teams (most all time) 122- 40 point games 25- 50 point games 6- 60 point games 12 time All Defensive team 9 time All Def 1st(most alltime for Gaurd) Revered by his rivals as Top 1-5 all time AND MJ STATED THAT Kobe is the only player he thinks can beat him!! And you know the only reason Kobe doesn’t have more MVPS is because of COLORADO so don’t even bring up that media driven narrative award. I’m done 🫡 Oh, before I go, here’s that spanking I was referring to in 2008⬇️

Individual players and team stats are at an ALL TIME high in the NBA this year. Are players more “evolved” or that much better than before? No. This year alone, 9 players are averaging: 25+ PPG 5+ APG 5+ RPG From 1990-2001, this happened only 9 times: Jordan (5 seasons) Drexler (1 season) Barkley (1 season) Hill (1 season) Kobe (1 season) Many fans claim players are far more superior, but in reality, four factors are inflating stats: 1. Officiating: The NBA allows more leeway on traveling, and refs heavily favor offense over defense. Players are going to the line more than ever (according to free throws per drive data), while offensive fouls are at an all-time low. Defensive 3 in the key and removal of physical hand checking has made driving easier than ever. 2. Analytics: Eliminating midrange shots and forcing far more 3-pointers has spiked scoring. 3. Pace: About 9 more possessions per game than in the 1990s. 4. Heliocentric offenses: Superstars like Luka, Giannis, LeBron, and Jokic have the ball in their hands most of the game with full freedom to score or create, which was rare before. Artificially boosting such stars numbers. Nash talks about how he wishes his team took more 3s because the data shows they would have optimized their offense more. His Suns started this and now every team plays like them. Fast paced and heavy 3 point shooting. So next time some kid throws stats at you, show them this.. Guys HAVEN’T evolved they just have been optimized for maximum stats and Adam Silver has pushed for more scoring with refs favoring the offense ✌🏻 (credits JxmyHighroller YT)

KD on seeing Kobe score 81 points: "This is the greatest player I ever seen."🐐 "[Kobe] strived so hard to be Michael Jordan. When I go back and I look at his videos and I say to myself, ‘Damn he was better than Michael Jordan.’” - Scottie Pippen Phil Jackson : Kobe Is More Skilled Than Jordan. Greatest PLAYER Ever in the history of NBA!🔥🔥 Dwyane Wade: Jordan is the best for this game, but Kobe is the master. Chris Bosh: I knew Kobe, but I didn't know him. Played basketball against him. He's the best player ever, and he was almost untouchable. Kyrie Irving: When I say [Kobe is] the greatest to play this game, it doesn’t mean I’m knocking anybody else, all right? The greatest to play this game to me! I don’t give a f*** what you talking about. I don’t care about your stats.” Anthony Davis: Kobe and MJ are the two greatest players of all-time. Kevin Durant: Kobe Bryant is the greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and Michael Jordan are neck and neck as far as skill. Dirk Nowitzki: His skill level was unbelievable. There was not one shot he didn’t have in his repertoire. So, to me, in my 20 years, he was probably the best offensive or the best player I’ve seen/faced. Tony Allen: He pushed me past my limits, and I did the same to him. To me, that's what makes him the greatest. Steve Smith NBA: [Kobe] was the most fundamentally sound player that I've seen play. #GregAnthony: Kobe Bryant is the most complete basketball player the game has ever seen. Tony Parker: Maybe the closest to Michael Jordan, who I think is the best ever. #MattBarnes: Jordan is 1, and Kobe is 1B. Jamal Crawford: There's no list I will ever respect if Kobe Bryant isn't top 5. Klay Thompson: He's the greatest in my eyes. He is the reason I play today. Nate Robinson: Kobe, in my opinion, is second to MJ as the most complete player ever. Metta World Peace: There are legends, then there are guys who are in a class of their own. Kobe is in a class of his own. #WaltFrazier: Players see him as the biggest icon in basketball, and he deserves it. Mike knows that. Isaiah Thomas: I'm still a Kobe guy when it comes to the GOAT conversation. #KenyonMartin: [In] my 15 years of playing basketball, Kobe Bryant was the best basketball player in the National Basketball Association." Dwight Howard: "Everything Michael Jordan did, Kobe did better." Kevin Durant: "Kobe is the Greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and Michael Jordan are 1A, 1B as far as skill." Shannon Brown: "Kobe is the best of all time. He comes first before Jordan." Brandon Jennings: "Jordan never win a championship without Pippen. Kobe won 2 without all time great teammates. Kobe is the GOAT."If you want stats, look for LeBron. If you want rings, look for Russell. If you want MVPs, look for Kareem. If you want records, look for Wilt. If you want impact, look for Steph. If you want dominance in a position, look for Shaq. If you want perimeter defense, find Gary Payton. If you want athletics, find Kemp, Giannis or Malone. If you want greatness, look for Bird or Magic. If you want exquisite dunks, look for Carter, Dr. J or Wilkins. If you want a good Trash Talker, look for Garnett. If you want influence, look for Iverson. If you want remarkable scoring skills, look for Durant. If you want competitiveness, look for Michael. If you want Impavidez at Clutch moment, look for Michael again. Now, if you want a good slice of all that fit to a single player, then look for Kobe Bryant 🐐 #MambaForever #mambamentality 🐐

Chaze Harris - An interesting name starting to circulate amongst possible eligibility cases, is the reigning Sun Belt POY Chaze Harris, who spent 3 non Division 1 years prior to joining the Jaguars this past season. Excellent positional size for a lead guard at 6’6. Portsmouth Invitational Invite, but chose to pursue the injunction route with the NCAA. As pure a scorer as there is. 22.0 PPG on 60.6% TS% in conference play this past season. One of only 16 players in the country to post that combination of volume and efficiency. Harris did it all for the Jaguars. A 34.6% USG% paired with a 38.0% AST%. Harris was scoring or assisting on nearly 3/4 of the Jaguars’ points while he was on the floor. Only four players over the last five years have carried that level of offensive responsibility. Harris’ ability to score in transition is unparalleled. 3.4 transition PTS/G (96th percentile) on 74.6% (93rd percentile), with the ability to push the pace both on and off the ball. Oftentimes, you’ll see a drastic drop-off in performance from mid-major transfers when playing against high-major competition, but that was not the case for Harris. In Quad 1 & 2 games this season, Harris averaged 21.3 PTS/G on 51% shooting from the field while posting a 40.1% AST%. Harris also led the Jaguars in Defensive Win Shares and served as the point of attack in South Alabama’s unique zone defense. The film showcases Harris’ elite first-step quickness and ability to get downhill at will, along with the creativity to finish at the rim in every way imaginable. Listed at 6’6” and a willing passer, Harris uses his frame as a weapon in ball screens to make reads that smaller guards simply cannot see. Chaze' Harris

Ten Takeaways From 10/21/25 ONE) NBA on NBC Hello, friends. Welcome to the 2025-26 NBA season. It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? A whole lot has changed since we last spoke. We were reintroduced to the NBA on NBC. Can’t believe it’s been almost 25 years, but here we are again. They absolutely crushed it after having some early audio difficulties. I get how cliché it is, but I seriously got chills once “Roundball Rock” started playing. Thought Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady had contagious energy in the pre-game coverage. The graphics are clean and straightforward. Really like the team fouls tracking in the score bug—just a very pleasant experience. Looking forward to the “Prime” experience. God, can’t believe it costs $650 to watch basketball now. We need to talk about the MJ segment, though. If you’ve been living under a rock, NBC shocked the world and somehow convinced Michael Jordan to sign on as a “special contributor”. “Insights to Excellence” is sadly everything I thought it would be… nothing. He wasn’t in the studio or anything. Looked like some pre-recorded interview with Mike Tirico from who knows when at his house, talking about why he’s come out of hiding. The thing lasted about three and a half minutes. “To pay it forward. I had the obligation to basketball.” - MJ on the decision to join NBC Okay Mike. Hoping for some actual insight in future recordings. TWO) Champs Are Here OKC received their rings and raised their banner before the game. Vibes were immaculate. Dillon Jones was even in attendance. Good thing the Wizards waived him just in time for him to make his flight. Rockets weren’t having it, though. Ime Udoka said that they didn’t watch the ceremony and were instead focused on trying to ruin their night. Kevin Durant came out for warmups to loud boos, and so he booed them back. Everyone laughed. Meanwhile, Steven Adams still gets loud cheers because, well, who doesn’t love Steven Adams? It was a rough go-around for all Thunder not named Chet Holmgren (28 points, 11-17 FG) to start, especially SGA. He had just five points at the half on 40.0% shooting (2-5 FG), but you can only contain the league and Finals MVP for so long. He scored 24 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter and overtimes. What’s up with the four missed free throws (10-14 FT)? "I'm glad the guys enjoyed the ceremony. That's a great, great life event they had." - Mark Daigneault "It was surreal. I don't know how to describe it besides that. Seeing the banner raised was cool too... I'll remember it for the rest of my life." - SGA on the pregame ceremony THREE) Thunder Starters One of the more critical questions going into Opening Night was, “Who’s the 5th Thunder starter?” as we wait for JDub’s wrist to get right. SGA, Dort, Chet, and IHart felt obvious. Between Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace, I leaned Cason mainly because of the bigger picture. Didn’t make sense to start Alex after managing him all last year, but then he started in every preseason game he played. Had to give that some sort of credit (and we did). Well, they ended up doing what they did a lot last year: change it up midway. Wallace started, and then Caruso started the second half… for Hartenstein. Here we go again. Cason’s playmaking looks improved. Daigneault went 11 deep (!!!) in the first quarter. Rookie, Brooks Barnhizer was the fourth sub off the bench, played about two minutes, and was never seen again. Part of that reason is Ajay Mitchell, who checked in after him (for Shai). There’s been some buzz, going back to his standout Summer League (19.8 ppg, 5.3 apg, 4.8 rpg, 1.5 spg). He scored 12 of his 16 points in the second quarter. “Not surprised. He was playing like this before he got hurt last year.” - Mark Daigneault on Ajay Mitchell FOUR) Jumbo Lineup It’s not much of a surprise to see Udoka start with the Steven Adams/Alperen Sengun pairing after how dominant they looked at the end of last season (+29.9 net rating, 162 minutes)—especially given the matchup, with Holmgren and Hartenstein on the other side. The real shocker is how much they leaned into it. Alpi and Adams shared the court for over 30 minutes (+8). LIKE WTF?!!! This was Adams' first time touching 37 minutes since November 9, 2022. They did just sign him to a three-year extension. You’d think they might wanna be careful with their investment. The average height of this Rockets' starting lineup is 6'10 (Thompson, Durant, Smith, Sengun, Adams), LMAO FIVE) Alpi Dominance Continues Maybe what Sengun was doing at EuroBasket 2025 (21.6 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 6.6 apg, 1.0 spg, and 1.1 bpg) translates over? Not gonna lie, I certainly had my doubts, but no… he’s looking just as dominant (I know, one game). Alperen Sengun vs Thunder: 39 PTS 11 REB 7 AST 2 STL 5-8 3P (career-high) 10-11 FT 27.7% USG Yeah, I see it too. Second time in his career, he’s attempted eight threes. Dude averaged 1.2 attempts per game last year. The hitch in his shot appears to be gone, so hey, this could be real (doubt it). All I know is that if it is, it’ll do wonders for his ceiling on sites that reward threes (DK). Also, going 10 of 11 from the line is something worth paying attention to. He was a 69.2% free-throw shooter last season. On the flip side, Amen Thompson (18 pts, 4 reb, 5 ast) had seven attempts from behind the arc and missed them all. Sucks, but his shot still looks flat. There’s no lift. While we’re here on Thompson, he had to leave the game late because of cramps. SIX) The Reed Conundrum I’ll give Reed Sheppard (9 pts, 4 ast, 37.9% TS, 28 min) this; he’s a confident motherfucker, and I love that about him (in a cute way). It’s hilarious how many times he looked off KD in this game. He’s gonna have stretches where he’s feeling it and looks automatic, but is it really gonna be worth it if his defense looks this dreadful? He can’t stay in front of anyone. The Thunder hunted and won that matchup with ease all night. Amen getting cramped up in OT1 really salvaged his minutes, cause I didn’t think he was gonna see the court again. Again, I know it’s only one game, but a couple more performances like this and things could get ugly. SEVEN) KD Gets Away With One Or should that say gets away with none? Kevin Durant (23 points, 9 rebounds) made his Rockets debut, and there’re gonna be two things you take away from it. Why’d you trade for him again? He was pretty much non-existent when they needed him most down the stretch, with a 12.5 USG% in both OT’s. There shouldn’t have been a second overtime. KD was clearly seen calling for a timeout after a rebound with about a second left on the clock. The problem is, they didn’t have any–He Webber’d it. He should have been T’d up, giving the Thunder a free throw to potentially end the game. Zarba and his buddies even got together to talk it over once the buzzer sounded, but did nothing. Strange, but luckily, it didn’t end up mattering much since OKC won in the second overtime. “Kevin definitely called timeout 3 times… They just missed it.” - SGA The Thunder beat the Rockets 125-124. EIGHT) Kuminga Starts Gallagher and I both felt pretty confident (sounds so stupid saying that with Kerr) that had Mosey Moody been available for this one, he would have been named the fifth starter, but his calf’s still bothering him. Steve Kerr decided to start Jonathan Kuminga (17 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 33 minutes) instead, rewarding him for a strong preseason. There might be some more rewards coming because, whew, this is exactly what they’ve been wanting to see from him for the last couple of years, especially the boards. You wouldn’t know it from looking at Luka’s box score, but JK did about as well as you could defending him; he made his threes (4-6 3PT) and consistently found the open man. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that he starts again against Denver on Thursday Let the showcasing begin. “When you ask for opportunity, you must deliver. He’s been very vocal about his opportunity and he delivered.” - Draymond Green on Jonathan Kuminga “I just wanna help JK be great… We’ve been kickin' it. Hanging out. Watching film and just working on our game together. I know how great he wants to be and how great he can be.” - Jimmy Butler on mentoring Jonathan Kuminga NINE) Jimmy Being Jimmy One of the funnier moments of the night came post-game, when Jimmy Butler talked about a bet he made with Draymond Green. The wager is that he’ll have a better free-throw percentage than Steph Curry this season. Deadass, hahaha. He admitted that it’s probably a bad bet but I still love that he does this type of shit. Two years ago, he said he was playfully aiming to shoot 50.0% from three. He obviously didn’t hit that mark, but he did shoot a career-best 41.4% that season. If you’re wondering how the bet is looking to start after Game 1: Jimmy Butler: 16-16 FT (100.0%) Steph Curry: 8-8 FT (100.0%) Will keep you updated as the season goes. Jesus, 16 free throw attempts. “No chance.” - Steph Curry when asked if Jimmy Butler has any shot at winning the bet Before we’re done with GS, a shoutout to Will Richard (5 points, 14 minutes). We tease Kerr all the time about playing these randos, but this kid looks like he can actually play. TEN) All Luka and Austin The Lakers are gonna struggle hard while LeBron’s out. They just don’t have any other guys on the team that can create. Luka Doncic (43 points, 10 rebounds, 9 assists, 34.7% USG) and Austin Reaves (26 points, 9 assists, 30.1% USG) scored or assisted on 97 of the Lakers' 109 points. So wild. Marcus Smart (9 points) was the first sub off the bench. As for DeAndre Ayton’s debut (10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 turnovers), let’s just say it didn’t take long for the Lakers’ fan base to turn on him. Poor guy looked lost out there. "We just started. This is probably the second game we've played together." - Rui Hachimura on what the difference was for the Lakers "The trend I see is that we continue to be a terrible third-quarter team." - JJ Redick The Warriors beat the Lakers 119-109.

🚨BREAKING: NASA physicist says astronauts have seen UFOs on Gemini spaceflights and other missions, UFOs have interfered with nuclear missile systems, and that the agency has systematically ignored key UFO data for decades. He also cites Japan Airlines flight 1628 as a 45 minute pilot sighting over Alaska involving radar data confiscated by the CIA and White House’s scientific advisory team.🚨 Kevin Knuth (University at Albany physicist, former NASA) lays out the most concrete physics-first frame for what UFOs are and what they can do. This episode centers on three hard points: repeated UAP interaction with nuclear assets, flight performance that breaks conventional engineering by orders of magnitude, and a growing civilian pipeline analyzing debris and isotopes outside black programs. Along the way, Knuth gets into his brilliant theories on Alien waterworlds and UFO propulsion mechanisms and we discuss bizarre astronaut sightings of red lights, “snake” and disc-looking objects in space. 1. The Ubiquitous UFO-Nuclear Connection: Knuth points to the global pattern: UAP show up around U.S. missile fields, Soviet nuclear assets, France, the U.K., and even civilian nuclear regions like Fukushima. Air Force Officer Robert Salas details events at Malmstrom Air Force Base: between September 1966 and March 1967, roughly 30 missiles were lost to UAP-related interference. Events like from witnesses beyond reproach convinced Knuth UFOs were impossible to ignore. 2. How UFOs Fly: 5,000 Gs Isn’t “Fast.” It’s Impossible Knuth uses the commonly cited estimate of the 2004 Nimitz UFO sighting off the coast of San Diego: 28,000 feet to sea level in ~0.78 seconds, implying roughly 5,000 G’s minimum. He contrasts it with the limits of modern fighters: an F-35’s wings fail around 13 G, missile frames can’t survive much beyond ~60 G. He cites a figure around ~11 gigawatts for that maneuver. More than the total nuclear output of the United States, packed into something roughly the size of an F/A-18. Even assuming 99% efficiency, the waste heat alone would be catastrophic. The object should melt. It doesn’t. This is not a scaling problem. It’s a category break. 3. How UFOs Interact With Water Knuth describes a case involving the Southland in the 1980s: an ~800-foot-long USO, roughly 150 feet in diameter, closing ~2 km in ~25 seconds, with an implied top speed around ~3,500 mph underwater. No wake. No water displacement behavior consistent with classical fluid mechanics. Yet sonar returns exist, meaning water molecules are bouncing off it while the object behaves like it isn’t interacting with the medium. 4. Physics Has To Break. Knuth’s conclusion is blunt: if the accelerations are real, you’re forced into the territory of inertia, gravity, and general relativity. Warp drive and “warp bubbles” are on the table, but even that has unanswered questions, like what a warp bubble does in an atmosphere. 5. NASA’s Documented Astronaut sightings: Knuth discusses accounts tied to astronauts and Apollo and Gemini-era spaceflight that suggest the phenomenon isn’t limited to Earth’s atmosphere. Gemini 11 involves audio of the sighting and a documented outage of the vehicle in one of the most debated cases in NASA’s history. Knuth explores the truth behind it. 6. The UFO Case With The Most Data Around It: Japan Airlines flight 1628. Cargo 747 Captain Kenju Terauchi, flying over Alaska. First: rectangular objects with lights scanning the cockpit, with pilots reporting they could feel heat. Then: a massive walnut-shaped object, described as multiple 747s in size, effectively an aircraft-carrier-scale presence, following the plane for roughly 45 minutes and moving side-to-side around it. Knuth cites John Callahan (FAA Chief of Accidents and Investigations) reviewing the incident. A meeting follows where Reagan’s scientific team and the CIA demand the data. Callahan copies it and keeps it under his desk, later making it public after retirement. The officials in the meeting reportedly say they’ve never had 45 minutes of radar data on one of these objects before. Knuth references physicist Daniel Coumbe (Niels Bohr Institute) analyzing the radar jumps, with extreme accelerations discussed in secondary analysis. The core point: radar-derived kinematics imply performance far beyond known human technology. 7. Reverse Engineering Is Real. And Failing. Knuth says he’s heard enough from credible people over years to believe there’s “nuts and bolts” craft work happening. He believes we just haven’t made any progress: its like a caveman looking at an iPhone. 8. The Isotopes Don’t Lie: He describes colleague Matthew Shadagas studying purported debris using neutron activation techniques to infer isotope ratios non-destructively. The core idea is simple: if you find isotope ratios that don’t occur naturally on Earth and don’t match asteroid patterns, you have a possible smoking gun. 9. They’re Not “Coming Here.” They’re Here. He echoes the Carl Sagan logic: they aren’t arriving from another star system every other Tuesday. He points to timing issues like Fukushima sightings the next day. If they were truly interstellar without exotic travel and comms, the lag alone breaks the story. His best bet is underwater bases, with water offering stable temperature, shielding, stealth against EM detection, and access to energy and minerals. 10. The Cover-Up Is The System Knuth frames the modern UAP landscape as a collision between overwhelming sensor/witness evidence and institutional incentives to bury it. The result isn’t “no data.” It’s data that gets siloed, seized, and stigmatized before it ever reaches the public. Why this matters: This is what the UFO question looks like when you treat it like a serious scientific inquiry, not a cultural one. Nuclear site surveillance is patterned. The flight performance exceeds known engineering limits by orders of magnitude. And the most credible testimony isn’t theatrical. It’s documented and coming from the highest levels of credible witnesses. If you want hardcore UFO science, watch this episode with Kevin Knuth, in the reply 👇

‡ The Pacific Classic Result It was unfortunate that Nysos was scratched, but the result was interesting, with Fierceness, the 1.6/1 second-favorite, comfortably handling Journalism, the (overbet) 2/5 choice. That the odds of the remaining five runners ranged between 22/1 and 72/1, underscored the yawning gap in quality between the top pair and the rest. So it was clearly no surprise that the "also-rans" toiled in their wake. What was surprising, at least at first glance, was how well Fierceness appeared to handle less than ideal conditions. But on closer inspection, his trip was actually far less challenging than the vast majority of post-race takes have suggested. His having ducked in soon after the start, almost making contact with the temporary extension rail, could have been a disaster, but it wasn't, and its importance has arguably been overblown. I say that because it was not similar to the trouble that he had encountered early in some of his previous races, in that he was in his own space, and was neither bumped, constricted, nor otherwise intimidated by other runners. This is an important distinction, because the mental weakness that he had previously displayed was related to close encounters with other horses, and his ducking-in after the break did not fall into that category. Inexperienced horses may suffer from that type of self-inflicted event, but given a mature, experienced runner, they are almost always forgotten quickly, which was clearly the case here. The fact that it was a long race also helped to mitigate the event, as there was no need for the rider to panic, or feel pressure to make up ground immediately. It is even possible that the early ground loss actually helped Fierceness, as had he been drawn closer to the pace early, it could have rendered him vulnerable in the late stages of the race. At the same time, due to the inside post, and how the race unfolded, Johnny Velasquez, who has done such a brilliant job keeping Fierceness outside and clear of his rivals in his previous wins, was forced to make the best of racing inside of horses. I understand why some are tempted to argue that Fierceness displayed a new dimension, as there were no obvious signs of him having been intimidated, despite the inside trip. But while I am willing to consider the possibility that he has gained confidence, I remain skeptical of any significant change, in part because it would be highly unusual for a horse to overcome that type of mental weakness midway through its four-year-old season, and/or in its 13th start. I also remain unconvinced for more subtle reasons. First, Fierceness was never bounced around, and with the possible exception of the first turn, he was never forced to race in especially tight quarters. Secondly, the rhythm of the race, after the initial duck-in, was actually smooth, and therefore beneficial to him. To understand why the above points are important, consider that Fierceness was never, so to speak, allergic to racing inside, but was more likely to face contact, be squeezed into a tight space, or have his rhythm thrown off when breaking from an inside post. In contrast, when breaking from an outside post, JV has invariably been able to place him clear of the pack, and in a comfortable, stalking rhythm. Fierceness is also essentially a free-runner, with a "light" mouth, and as such performs best when his rider allows him to dictate his own rhythm and pace. That is why, for example, Johnny V was not at all responsible for his loss in the Breeders' Cup Classic, as he is not the type of horse that a rider can take a strong hold of in order to restrain him further off of the pace, as that would discourage him. And to the great credit of both JV and Todd Pletcher, they picked up on this early on, and have done a superb job mitigating the colt's limitations, and maximizing his potential. In the Pacific Classic, despite racing on the inside, Johnny V remained cool and calm, and gave Fierceness another masterful ride. He and the colt's connections did benefit though, as none of his rivals, either intentionally or not, tightened things up significantly, or otherwise disrupted his rhythm. In fact, quite the opposite. Having tracked comfortably through much of the race, and with space around him, Fierceness displayed his trademark spurt on the final turn. And while the pan shot may suggest that he slipped though a tight opening, it was more like the red sea parting, as the embedded head-on view illustrates. If you are able to view the full head-on replay, you will find that despite racing inside, Fierceness actually enjoyed quite a comfortable trip, after the eventful few strides. A more subtle indication that we were watching the same horse as in his previous races comes :12-14 seconds into the embedded clip. When he was about to take the lead, he cocked his head to the right, as if he may have been worried about the horse outside of him. He was able to draw away from that one so quickly that it was ultimately of no practical consequence, but I would say that it implies that he hasn't suddenly developed the heart of a lion. *** Two qualities that have been crucial to Fierceness' success are his tactical speed, coupled with the separation that he produces on the final turn of his (two-turn) races. His ability to take command at that crucial stage has served him very well, particularly in his narrow win over Thorpedo Anna, and it was again on display in the Pacific Classic. A big part of the reason why that move has been such an important part of his arsenal is that it typically allows his him to take a "breather", before digging deep in an effort to fend off any late dangers. I encourage you to watch the (pan) replay of the Pacific Classic, and focus on Johnny V from around the 3/8th pole to the head of the stretch, as he was sitting like the proverbial statue. So for at least a furlong and a half, Fierceness was on cruise control, while Journalism, his only danger, was under pressure to make up ground, in an attempt to simply reach striking distance. But with all due credit to Fierceness and his rider for having produced fine efforts in the Pacific Classic, was this really an exceptionally outstanding performance, or was it at least partly a reflection of his only serious rival failing to run his best? I'm inclined to argue the latter. Despite Journalism having produced an unusually good 3yo campaign, capped by three Gr. I wins, including a Classic success in the Preakness, and never finishing worse than second, there have been some lingering questions. One of them is whether he is actually as well-suited to 10f. as he is to 8-9f. races. Yes, he was beaten in his two previous tries over 10f. by Sovereignty, a better horse. But in each race he was able to gain first-run on that one, an advantage that is typically difficult to overcome, yet lost ground late to the winner both times, and to Baeza as well, in the KY Derby. Some have suggested that he may have a tendency to loaf when in front, but I haven't seen any compelling evidence of that. And such horses typically dig in when passed, in efforts to re-engage, which we haven't seen, at least overtly, from Journalism. He also drew away from his rivals late in his first three wins. Alex Evers made this interesting comment about the kickback in the Pacific Classic: "I've photographed racing for 20 years, I've never seen kick back knock a jockeys goggles off like this." Here is a link to his supporting photos, which are typically excellent: Could that have discouraged Journalism? I suppose that it could have been an impediment, but he is such a tough and honest horse, that I would be surprised to learn that it was a meaningful factor. By contemporary standards, Journalism has also had a busy campaign, having raced a touch over once per month since March, all but one of which in Grade I events, and four times well away from his home base. So it is possible that he is beginning to feel the effects of those races, and travels. I have also noted that from a Beyer figure standpoint, he hasn't really moved forward, and it's worth noting that in contrast to Sovereignty and Baeza, both of which were late (May) foals, Journalism was a February foal, and may not have had quite as much room to improve. I don't know why he lagged so far behind in the early stages of the Pacific Classic, or if there was any tactical intention behind it. I had previously suggested that it might make sense to ride him more patiently, a tactic that is sometimes adopted when there are questions about a horse staying a trip. But I didn't notice any improved late kick, so it's difficult to interpret the performance. Fierceness earned a 107 Beyer figure for his victory, slower than his best three races last year, and merely equivalent to his comeback victory in the Gr. II Alysheba at Churchill Downs, in May. That doesn't suggest that it was a particularly outstanding performance. Journalism was given a 102, which implies that the return to his home court did not catalyze any notable forward move. *** I would say that there is one relevant pattern that has emerged, namely that Fierceness has an apparent affinity for the faster, high energy return track surfaces in California. He has now contested three races in CA (Beyer): 1st Breeders' Cup Juvenile (105) 2nd Breeders' Cup Classic (111) 1st Pacific Classic (107) It's also interesting to compare the colt's first and last half-mile fractions in his effort in last year's BCC, and the PC, both contested at Del Mar over 10f.: BCC – :45 1/5 • :51 3/5 PC – :46 1/5 • :50 2/5 Predictably, he finished better in the PC, thanks to more manageable early fractions. But would a repeat of that effort be nearly sufficient to win this year's Classic? Given the various points noted above, coupled with Sovereignty's continued improvement, and seemingly bottomless stamina, I would be inclined to say no. And that's before even factoring Sierra Leone, Mindframe, Forever Young, et al, into the conversation. But setting aside all of the fine parsing, I'm happy to congratulate Repole Stable, and Fierceness' other connections, for having shipped to California, and for being rewarded with an exciting, winning effort. Assuming that the colt makes it to the Breeders' Cup Classic in good order, he should minimally add spice to the race, and who knows, perhaps even provide a serious challenge to knock Sovereignty off of his current throne.

🚨 EXPOSING NOSTRA. AI 🚨 We have exposed some pretty nasty grifts in this space, but Nostra reigns supreme above all others (by a fair margin). Since we have >30 min video and an intensive Notion document (linked at the very bottom of this post) I am going to just highlight the key areas below. For those who don't want to watch it all - here's some time stamps that cover the most important/most hilarious parts of the video. 1:08 - Site Speed Scamming 101 4:20 - Beginning of the actual findings of what we caught Nostra doing. 5:25 - Nostra CEO tweets about how vitally important it is to have your most critical information above the fold on your site. Then we show that they almost exclusively marketed their fake site speed scores above the fold. 6:37 - The 'before and after' that shows how radically different the Nostra team made their site after they realized they were being investigated (perhaps my favorite part) 11:05 - Before: YOUR SITE PERFORMANCE SCORE MATTERS ..... 1 day later, Nostra CEO: "Yeah page speed scores are pretty useless" 😂 12:07 - "Nostra clients are 8x more likely to pass core web vitals compared to non Nostra clients" *Lukas then shows how every single one of their 'success story' case studies are failing almost all core web vitals on their home pages.... 15:10 - Jake dives into the technical shortcomings of the Nostra product, from them using a deprecated form of rendering and claiming (falsely) that Google still endorses it, to showing that any visitor logged into any Nostra-enabled site is not fed the cached pages... meaning that many of their highest LTV clients are being given a drastically worse browsing experience.... + lots more! 29:47 - Lukas shows all of the deleted tweets from the Nostra CEO. Suspiciously, all of them just so happen to be based on page speed scores... hmm. The main points: - Nostra uses site speed cloaking tactics to artificially inflate performance numbers on Google's Page Speed Insights. There is no ethical reason to do this. It is a tactic used exclusively by site speed scammers. *A few people may point to the fact that Meta uses Lighthouse scores as one of many contributing factors to showing ads, so certain sites MAY see an uptick in paid performance on Meta while having these fake scores. This is a horrible basis to justify attempting black hat scams on Google tools. I'll be doing a whole separate video for this topic alone, but for now, just understand it is shortsighted and unbelievably stupid. - They then used those artificially inflated performance scores as the central focus of their entire marketing strategy. *They have released some hilariously inaccurate/misleading blog posts in the past week that try and claim they don't use cloaking and that their methods are totally ethical... you better believe we are doing a follow-up video that dismantles these blog posts paragraph by paragraph. - Various current and former clients of Nostra have confirmed that one of their central selling points when convincing them to pay for Nostra (often quoting/charging thousands a month) was that their Google performance numbers were going to go up, which meant a faster site, which meant more revenue. A blatant, irrefutable lie. - As we dug into their code, we found even more issues. Most notably, their 'crawler optimization' was stripping down pages for both Lighthouse (Page Speed Insights) as well as Googlebot, which means that the contents of any page 'client-side rendered' by Nostra in this way was almost entirely invisible to Google, as it saw basically nothing to crawl and index. - All of our findings were confirmed by over a dozen well-respected developers in the Shopify space, including high-ranking engineers at Shopify. - Before we notified Nostra of our investigation into them, Jake Casto (partner in this report) met directly with the Nostra team, including their Chief Lead Architect (?) and asked every question he could to gain as much context as possible. This meeting further confirmed all of our findings and even pushed some further. - Hours after we notified the CEO of Nostra about our investigation into them and the impending report we would release, their entire site changed.... like... CHANGED. Nearly every mention of 'page speed' or 'performance score' was stripped from the site, including all of their case studies. Additionally, they renamed an entire product. Their 'Crawler Optimization' tool became 'Bimodal Dynamic Rendering'.... - That same night, the Nostra CEO then deleted all tweets insinuating performance score as a benefit of using Nostra (proof shown in the video) and began publicly talking about how useless speed scores are. A metric they had long lauded as the single-most important aspect of what their tech improves was now "pretty useless" just a few hours later. - It is imperative to know that we did not mention ANYTHING about our interest in investigating their focus on performance scores as a key marketing strategy. All of these changes were made by them without knowing anything about what in particular we were investigating. Not shockingly, the main scam we were highlighting in our investigation is what was wiped entirely (within literal hours) from their site/their founders personal messaging. * go look at their site now and try to find any claims about performance scores on their home page. They even took them off the top of all their case studies. (we show this all in the video as well). - Nostra has since continued to modify their code, resulting in some of their 'success story' clients seeing a 50+ point drop in performance scores (shown in the video). More current and former clients continue to reach out and share more stories about the many sketchy happenings at Nostra. - Nostra also released a very weak response in the form of 2 blog posts that aim to justify their actions/tech. They have been sharing this with their clients and attempting to patch over the MANY inconsistencies and blatant lies they were caught in. As I said earlier, we will be doing a video dedicated to dismantling these blog posts in detail. Moral of the story. No SaaS is going to plug in to your Shopify store and drastically increase your performance scores in a matter of moments. Any tool or dev or agency, no matter how fancy they look and how much venture backing they have, will be able to get your Shopify stores' mobile performance scores into the 80/90's under any normal circumstances. If someone says they can... You are 100% being scammed. Site speed optimization is a complex development process that takes highly-skilled devs dozens of hours to do properly. No tool can replace this. Don't be fooled into thinking otherwise. For a deeper look into the technical side, check out the link below.

Oh, this is beautiful. This is really, really beautiful. Because this idiot goes on camera December 21st, 2025... he's got all the confidence in the world... he's telling everybody Iran is this unstoppable juggernaut... and then 68 days later, reality walked in the room and sat down. And reality wasn't polite about it. Let's go through every single claim, because I think people need to see what happens when you build your entire analysis on Iranian propaganda talking points instead of, you know, actual military intelligence. "The Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is in great shape, great health." Sixty-nine days later, February 28th, 2026... Day One of Operation Epic Fury... the combined US-Israeli force killed Ali Khamenei in his own compound in Tehran. His own compound. Think of that.. We took out Khamenei along with the Defense Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani, the IRGC Commander Mohammad Pakpour, the Defense Minister Aziz Nasir Zadeh, and the intelligence chief... and many others... all in the opening hours. "Great shape, great health." Dead on Day One. So the Assembly of Experts scrambles and picks the son, Mojtaba, on March 8th. The replacement. The heir. The IRGC pushed for him. And from the moment they announce him... he never appears. Not once. No video. No public appearance. Nothing. The regime starts recycling old images and old videos of him, issuing only written statements. Think of that. You just became the Supreme Leader of Iran and you can't even show your face on camera. ISW reported as of March 19th that US officials stated Mojtaba was seriously wounded. ISW themselves said the circumstantial evidence suggests he's "badly injured or otherwise incapacitated." They made the point that the regime could easily shut down the rumors with one simple video... and they haven't. Despite having every incentive in the world to do so... Most likely he is also dead. So let's do the math on Ethan's prediction. "The Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, is in great shape, great health." Dead. His replacement, Mojtaba? Presumed dead or incapacitated... never seen in public... the regime can't even produce a proof-of-life video. That's two Supreme Leaders. Two. In less than two weeks. The position of Supreme Leader of Iran had a higher casualty rate than any foxhole in that entire theater of operations. "Iran has 10,000 to 30,000 ballistic missiles." He says that with a straight face. Ten to thirty thousand. US and Israeli intelligence had the pre-war estimate at approximately 2,000 missiles total, and that count included short-range systems that can't even reach Israel. The IDF assessed Iran fired between 500 and 550 ballistic missiles during the entire 12-day war in June 2025. And by the time Operation Epic Fury kicked off February 28th, Admiral Brad Cooper... the CENTCOM commander... told Iran International that the large salvos from the beginning of the conflict had degraded to, quote, "onesies and twosies." Think of that. Onesies and twosies. This guy said 30,000. The CENTCOM commander is saying they're down to one and two at a time. Off by a factor of... I don't even know what that is. "Iran has purchased nearly 70 to 90 Su-35s from Russia." This is maybe the best one. He says Iran bought 70 to 90 Su-35s. Tremendous number. Sounds very scary. You know what the ISW battlefield reports actually show Iran's air force flying when the war started? F-4 Phantoms. F-5 Tiger IIs. MiG-29s. SU-22s. The F-4 entered service in 1960. Think of that. 1960. Sixty-six years ago. The Israeli Air Force destroyed Iranian F-4s and F-5s trying to take off from Tabriz on March 1st. Those planes were older than most of the pilots flying them. The 7th Tactical Airbase in Shiraz? It hosted 12 Russian SU-22 fighter jets... not SU-35s. SU-22s. That's a 1970s ground attack plane. He said 70 to 90 of Russia's most advanced fighters. The actual inventory was a museum collection. "Israel's air force will be wiped out within a month or two of war." So let's check in on that prediction. By March 2nd... that's three days into Operation Epic Fury... the combined US-Israeli force had established air superiority over Tehran. Over Tehran. The capital. By March 5th, the IDF Chief of Staff reported Israeli pilots had conducted approximately 2,500 strikes using over 6,000 munitions. They'd destroyed 80 percent of Iran's air defense systems. By March 19th, it was 85 percent. The Iranian Air Force? Admiral Cooper, three weeks in, said it plainly... "The Iranian Air Force is no longer flying." Not struggling. Not degraded. No longer flying. The air force that was supposed to wipe out Israel in a month? Gone. Completely gone. "Iran's military is bigger, stronger, and better than Israel's." The Iranian Navy... which Ethan didn't even bother to mention... 140 ships sunk or severely damaged by March 23rd. Every single Moudge-class frigate in the Southern Fleet, destroyed. All four IRGC Navy Soleimani-class warships, destroyed. Admiral Cooper was asked... does Iran have any naval capability left in the Persian Gulf? His answer... "There's no capability presently in the Gulf of Oman, around Hormuz, or in the Gulf." Nothing. Nothing floating. "Iran has the best missiles on the planet, better than American missiles." ISW published the circular error probable data on Iranian missiles. The Ghadr, the Emad, the Kheybar Shekan, the Khorramshahr-4... every single one of them had CEP ranges measured in kilometers. Kilometers. That means they're accurate to within a couple kilometers of their target. American precision-guided munitions are accurate to single-digit meters. You can see the ISW graphic... it shows the CEP circles overlaid on Tel Aviv. They're enormous. The idea that these are better than American missiles is... I mean, it's genuinely one of the most embarrassing claims in the entire video. "Iran could kill everyone in Israel. They could level the entire country into grass, dirt, and mud." They couldn't even keep their air defense radars operational for 72 hours.
