The Lakers potential rotation now. Guards. Luka Doncic. Austin Reaves. Collin Sexton. Jaden Hardy. Cameron Carr. Forwards. Quentin Grimes. Sandro Mamukelashvili. Ziaire Williams. Adou Thiero. Jake LaRavia. Centers. Walker Kessler. Kevin Looney. Outside looking in. Bronny James probably following LeBron. Jarred Vanderbilt. And Dalton Knecht. In talks. Jonathan Kuminga forward. Looking at the rotation this team is a fantastic transition from the athletically challenged team the Lakers had last season. Also last seasons team had only two defensive specialists in Marcus Smart and Jarred Vanderbilt but the latters offense makes him unlikely to get a chance with JJ Redick. This team has rangy defenders in line with the direction the league is headed. Ziaire Williams being top 20 in the NBA in some advanced defensive stats. Grimes is the archetypical 3 and D wing with emphasis on poa duties. Cameron Carr and Adou Thiero are prospects showing tremendous promise on the defensive end. All these defenders are young and athletic. Zeroing in on Ziaire, he's a 6-foot-8 wing with a 6-foot-10 wingspan. Ideally, he fits into our power forward spot with his length and ability to deter shots at the rim as a forward. His 3-point shooting stats look bad in a vacuum but he's shown better efficiency shooting the three over the past 3 seasons. Looking at his shot mechanics below, you can see his shit release point is good, his follow-through is good as well. He can become an elite shooter especially with two of the league's best playmakers in his backcourt. Also, he can catch lobs too. Nice. Hats off to the tremendous work Rob Pelinka has done this summer rebuilding this team. Having this flexibility of wing defenders alongside an elite rim protector in Kessler honestly makes me very bullish on the Lakers. This is a 57 win team barring any major injuries. There is top 5 offense and top 10 defensive potential. Rob Pelinka has done an excellent job dealing and wheeling like a GM. I have been hard on him in the past for being too passive and not making moves on the margin. The last 14 months have been so much better from him.

John Wall says NIL money is exposing who's really hungry and who's not “If you’re a star player and you know you’re going top five, cool. Get your money. But don’t let that change you.” “I’ve got my tournament, right? A kid comes in that plays for Overtime Elite. I’m thinking he’s the star player. He comes in with three chains on, ski mask on, walking into my gym.” “So I’m looking at him like, ‘Oh, he’s the guy.’ How many minutes did the man play in the game? Two. They were down 20 and he played the last two minutes.” “I’m like, ‘Your mindset is all backwards.’ You’re buying all these chains. You’re walking in with a ski mask. And you’re not going to go nowhere.” “If you get NIL, you’ve got to have a great foundation, parents or a great management team around you, so you know how to manage it. Because it’s already kind of preparing you for the NBA.” “These guys are getting $3 million, $4 million in high school. I look at it like this… If I’m getting $3 million in high school… I’ve got the best car on campus. I’m making the most money on campus. Am I waking up at 5 a.m. to work out the same way? I better.” “I don’t think a lot of these kids are. That’s where it’s like, ‘Oh, I got this early.’ Now what’s my purpose of getting to the league? Now you know if a kid really loves the game. Because I’m already getting what I really want… The money. The cars. The fame. So do you really love the game?”

Our film director is back with a new analysis of İlhan and Damla’s performance and this time he chose THE BEST SCENE EVER aka the divorce scene 🎬❤️‍🔥 The translation: “Friends, after the first video, I received so many messages that I decided to handle this scene as well—the moment Serhat divorces Yıldız. In this scene, there are so many changes in emotion for Yıldız that, friends, this is not an easy thing. It’s not easy to play, and it’s not easy to feel. You can't teach certain things to actors; that actor already knows. You just can't teach some things. I mean, to play this scene minimally and yet reflect it in a giant way is a very difficult thing. Yıldız is already coming into this knowing that Serhat will tell her he’s divorcing her. The emotional shift: one, Serhat telling Yıldız; two, the emotional shift after he says it; and in the final word, she gets angry anyway—there is an emotional shift there too. Incredible. Now—the eyes don't change, friends. Look now: the eyes are the same. But Yıldız played it so beautifully; I mean, she plays with her eyes too. You know they say, there’s a classic cliché: "Brother, he plays with his eyes," and so on. She played it; she played with her eyes too. Now watch, I’ll say one more thing. (Music plays: Serhat repeats "Be divorced, be divorced, be divorced") Now, the adjustment of Yıldız's voice—like a silent scream. Now, there is something in psychology: the palm of a person who isn't lying looks like this. In psychology, it’s like this. Yıldız waving her single hand there... I mean, you can’t teach this an actor; they already know. Serhat’s cold-bloodedness there, his regret. Even if you work on it, you can’t teach this. Filming a series isn't easy; I mean, you’re filming every day, you’re on set every day. It’s not like filming a movie. Finding the same energy, finding the same motivation is very difficult in a series. Did you notice İlhan Şen? What does he say there? While saying "be divorced," he says it three times. In the first two, he can't look her in the eye; he can't look at Yıldız's face. He says it the first time; in the second one, he pulls himself together a bit more; in the third one, as if relieved, he can look her in the eye. Meaning: "I said the first two". You can't teach these things. You can't teach these an actor. Then, after saying "be divorced" three times, it’s like İlhan Şen is relieved, but along with the regret, he says what he will say next. Yıldız gets angry after that anyway. There’s no such thing; such a thing cannot be. You can't teach these to an actor anyway; a good actor already knows. They live it themselves.” 🎞️ instagram: barandinay #HalefKöklerinÇağrısı • #yılser #ilhanşen • #BiranDamlaYılmaz

Elon Musk explains his 5-step process for running companies: "First, make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb. It does not matter who gave them to you. It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements because you might not question them enough. Everyone's wrong no matter who you are. Everyone's wrong some of the time. So make your requirements less dumb. Then try very hard to delete the part or process. This is actually very important. If you're not occasionally adding things back in, you are not deleting enough. The bias tends to be very strongly towards let's add this part or process step in case we need it. But you can basically make in-case arguments for so many things and for a rocket that is trying to be the first fully reusable rocket. There's never been a fully reusable rocket. People don't understand. This is like the holy grail of rocketry. So you've got to delete the part or process step. Super important. You can't hedge your bets. That's why the grid funds, for example, do not fall down because that's a whole extra mechanism that we don't need. Also, whatever requirement or constraint you have, it must come with a name, not a department. Because you can't ask the department. You have to ask a person. That person who's putting forward their requirement or constraint must agree that they must take responsibility for that requirement. Otherwise, you can have a requirement that basically an intern two years ago randomly came up with off the cuff and they're not even at the company anymore. These things are often just way more silly than you think. So step one, make your requirements less dumb. Step two, delete the part or process step. If you're not adding things back in 10% of the time, you're clearly not deleting enough. And then only the third step is simplify or optimize. The third step, not the first step. The reason it's the third step is because possibly the most common error of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist. Everyone's been trained in high school and college that you've got to answer the question. Convergent logic. So you can't tell the professor your question is dumb. You'll get a bad grade. You have to answer the question. So everyone's basically, without knowing it, they've got a mental straitjacket on. They'll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist. And then finally, you get to step four, which is accelerate cycle time. You're moving too slowly, go faster. But don't go faster until you have worked on the other three things first. You can always make things go faster. And then the final step is automate. Now, I've personally made the mistake of going backwards on all five steps multiple times. Literally, I automated, accelerated, simplified, and then deleted. One example I've talked about before is there were these fiberglass mats on top of the Model 3 battery pack that were in between the floor pan and the battery. And it was at one point choking the battery pack production line. And I was basically living on the battery pack production line trying to fix the line. It was choking the entire Model 3 production program. So the first mistake was I tried to fix the automation, like make the robot better. So automating was a mistake. Then accelerating was a mistake. Then optimizing was a mistake. And finally, I said, what the hell are these mats for? And I asked the battery safety team, what are these mats for? Are they for fire protection or something? They said, no, they're for noise and vibration. Then I asked an NVH, a noise, vibration, harshness team, what's it for? They said fire safety. So literally, it was like being in a Dilbert cartoon. Actually, I feel like I'm in a Dilbert cartoon quite frequently. So then finally, OK, great, let's try a car with the fiberglass mats and without. And they put a microphone to both and see if you can tell the difference. In fact, I was like, which one is which? So we just deleted them and just bypassed this $2 million robot cell. It was just a complete pile of nonsense."

Pay attention to Saudi . They’re hosting the World Cup in 2034 and they have serious plans to do well at that World Cup. First thing for them is to invest in their league. These Saudi players in this Uruguay game, you could see their quality. They’re being coached by elite managers, they play with or against Ronaldo, Benzema, Kante, Mahrez, Mane, etc. these are players that have won everything. Exposure to such training programmes, world class coaches and team mates, facilities, it’s just madness. Most of the players in their squad are from the 4 government-owned teams like Hilal, Nassr, Ahli, some from Al Qadsia too which is also a good side. These top teams are exposed to world class structures (you can’t say same for the others, but that’s why the squad is made up of most players from the top teams). One of their players, Saud, was even bold enough to leave the league and he’s just done amazingly well at RC Lens this season,after he joined on loan from Roma. This is good for them too. Steven Gerrard shared a bit about the Saudi plan on “Stick to Football” recently. He said one of the things they told him was that they wanted to develop their academies especially and they wanted him to be part of it. I’ve attached the video. There’s an u21 league that is serious now in Saudi. You can also go pro at 16 years of age in Saudi now. It was 18 before. The youngsters are also exposed to these facilities which will aid their development, because some of them are expected to make that squad in 2034. Let me end this tweet with the shortfall of this project. Due to the influx of top players, many of these young players are not getting so much playing time, and they need to. They have a decent national team now but most of them won’t be present in 2034 when they host the World Cup at home. You can understand why these top teams don’t give so much youngsters opportunities even in Europe, this is because they’re chasing the league and they have no time for trials with the kids, this has to change. I always support the youth. I think teams are entitled to 8 foreign players, the league organisers should also put something in place to ensure teams play u21 players and the likes. I’m sure they’re thinking of these things and I’m rooting for them to do well. Fingers crossed.

Kentucky will have to move on to another C in the 2027 class after Obinna Ekezie Jr reclasses to 2026, and commits to Louisville. Obinna wasn’t just Kentucky’s #1 C, he was their #1 overall player. Things were going well enough they hadn’t offered another C’ in 2027, (til recently) So what’s next? Kentucky has made prior contact with the 4 C’s we’ll talk about today, but it might be too late to get in seriously with a couple of them. First up: (#11) 5⭐️ Paul Osaruyi. (AZ) 6’9 220lb. Breakdown: Has the highest ceiling of any of the bigs. A+ Motor/Athlete. Elite rebounder, always in the right position. Extremely versatile defender. Defends the perimeter, the paint, the rim. Very high defensive IQ. His offense is still coming along. He’s got good hands, he makes tough catches in traffic under the rim, he catches plenty of lobs, and he’s an elite rim runner who can catch and put the ball on the floor in the open court. Solid handle when not being pressured, but he doesn’t have the best footwork right now,’ so he’s limited in the post with the ball in his hands. Has a decent enough jumper he can face up, even pop out and knock one down, slips really well off screens into a push shot. But once the tools are sharpened, once he gets with some elite coaching, like I said could be the highest ceiling of all them. Very versatile offensive potential. Reclass was talked about early, still could be a possibility as well. Something to watch as Kentucky just recently extended an offer. West Virginia, Houston, Arkansas, Kansas, BYU, thought to be the main schools right now. WVU has strong ties. #BBN #KentuckyBasketball

Here’s how to ACTUALLY block blue light on your iPhone, most of the apps are actually just filtering a narrow spectrum. This method puts it into pure red light mode. This hack has helped my sleep immeasurably. Step 1: Settings > Accessibility > Display and Text Size > Color Filters Step 2: Turn on color filter > Check “Color Tint” Step 3: Slide the “Intensity” and “Hue” bars all the way to the right (this is maximum red and filters all blue light) Step 4: Go back two screens to “accessibility” then click “Accessibility Shortcut” Step 5: Check “Color Filters” - this turns on the “triple click” function that allows for easy On/Off for this setting How to use: Follow the sun - do not turn off the red light filter until you have consumed true natural red light from the sun in the AM for at least 10-15 mins. I usually wait well into the morning and after my morning outdoor walk before I triple click back to “normal view” Once dusk hits, so too should your red light filter return. So in the winter, that’s like 6p where I live… Ideally, you are not consuming screens at least 2 hours before bed for max circadian support. But if you must, make sure you are at least using this one quick easy technique. Our modern tech lives lead to an absolute decimation of our circadian rhythms, which subsequently leads to all sorts of detrimental impacts like low T, insulin resistance, fat gain, and thyroid dysfunction, amongst many others.

In a CNBC interview a few years back, Warren Buffet relayed a story of a time shortly after he and Bill Gates first met. Gate's father asked a group of roughly 20 people to write down on a sheet of paper the one word that they thought accounted for their success. Without seeing what the other wrote, both Buffet and Gates chose the same word: Focus. With this in mind, I wondered: How they would advise someone to choose what they place their focus on? In search of this answer, I ran across an article by author Scott Dinsmore which describes Buffet's 5-step framework for narrowing your focus to what really matters: Your "Avoid At All Costs List." The story is framed as a conversation between Buffet and his pilot (no idea if this is actually what happened) but you'll get the point nonetheless. Here goes: Buffet jokingly said to his pilot: "The fact that you're still working for me, tells me I'm not doing my job. You should be out going after more of your goals and dreams." Warren then asked his pilot to take the following steps: (You should do the same) • List your top 25: Make a list of the Top 25 things you want to do over the next few years or in your lifetime. • Choose your top 5: Review your list and circle the Top 5 items that are most important to you. This is critical––you can only pick 5. • Make a plan: Now that you have your Top 5, it's time to make a plan. How will you start working on these? Who do you need to enlist help from? When can you start? Hint: the answer should be now! • Know your priorities: Now that you've made your Top 5 plan, let's talk about the other 20 items on your list: Buffet asked his pilot, "What is your plan for completing those?" The pilot stated that he word work on those intermittently, as he had time, since they were not part of the Top 5. To the pilot's surprise, Buffet said: "No, you've got it all wrong. Everything you didn't circle just became your 'Avoid At All Costs List.' No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you've succeded with your Top 5." •Be ruthless with your Top 5 list: I think most of us would have probably answered Buffet in a similar manner to his pilot. I mean, those other things are still important, right? Well, according to Buffet (and seemingly Gates as well), the ability to focus on the few things that are the most important to you––what you really want––is the key to outsized results. Letting yourself be distracted by the 20 (less important) things is why you never reach your potential on the 5 that matter the most. For someone like me (with more ideas than time) this exercise was extremely helpful. Take 20 minutes today and write out your own list and see what you come up with. You might be surprised at the results.
