It’s the first time since November of 2022 UCLA football and basketball have been ranked top ten in the same week. UCLA football was ranked 9th going into the Arizona game Nov. 12th that year, and basketball was ranked 8th in the first week of its 2022-2023 season.

No 38-year-old point guard has ever even averaged 12 PPG in a season.
38-year-old Steph Curry is currently averaging 30.0 PPG (in 28.8 MPG) on 68.8% TS.
He’s been a Top 3 player so far this season. Do not take for granted the absurdity of what he’s doing.

No será el que más anillos tiene, ni el que más puntos mete, ni el que más asistencias da, ni el que más mates hace pero juro por Allah que jamás habrá un jugador que se acerque a lo que me hizo y hace sentir el chiquitito cuando mima la anaranjada

Yaxel Lendeborg says his job is to make sure Steph Curry’s greatness doesn’t go to waste.
“I caught myself shaking my head, like, wow, a couple times…Once he got out of the game, it’s like this is my opportunity to help him out, help (make) his greatness worthwhile.”

This is Yaxel Lendeborg. He’s a SF with the same wingspan as Giannis that can legitimately defend guards and bigs. He can shoot. He is a creator. He can pass. He’s a good rebounder. His game rises as the stakes do.
His defect is he’s 23 because players get paid in college now.

I think Porsche understands the situation better than almost anyone.
They’ve already proved their engineering capabilities with the Taycan, one of the finest driver’s EVs ever built. Yes, reliability has been an issue, but anyone who genuinely appreciates driving should recognize what an outstanding piece of engineering it is.
The problem is that driving excellence alone no longer guarantees a premium price.
Look at Xiaomi aggressively chasing lap records. Look at Zeekr and Lotus, backed by Geely’s enormous resources, delivering tremendous performance, sophisticated chassis and impressive driving dynamics at much lower prices, often with equipment that Porsche would charge a fortune for.
Porsche has realized that competing on electric performance alone is no longer enough to justify its traditional premiums.
And the massive discounts on the electric Macan in China demonstrate another uncomfortable reality: even the Porsche badge isn’t enough to command unlimited premiums in the mainstream luxury market anymore.
So what’s the smartest move?
Go back to what makes Porsche truly special.
Build extraordinary mechanical machines for people who value them enough to pay extraordinary prices.
Break even the traditional limitations of the rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive 911 philosophy if that’s what it takes to create something exceptional.
Selling extremely expensive mechanical toys to the world’s wealthiest enthusiasts is certainly not easy. But I believe it’s one of the most promising paths Porsche can take.
And importantly, Porsche isn’t abandoning electric cars. It can continue improving products like the electric Cayenne, refining its EV technology and fighting to remain competitive in the broader passenger-car market.
That’s not refusing to accept the future. That’s understanding where your competitive advantages still have value.
If you can’t see the logic behind this strategy, I think you’re missing both the automotive and the business perspective.
I really should write a proper long-form piece about this when I have some free time. 😂
Porsche steckt in der Krise und präsentiert ausgerechnet einen neuen Verbrenner als Hoffnungsträger. Das ist ungefähr so, als würde man bei steigender Fieberkurve die Heizung aufdrehen. Wer glaubt, dass man mit immer neuen Benzinern die Zukunft gewinnt, hat den Strukturwandel nicht verstanden. Die Konkurrenz schläft nicht. Und die Märkte haben wenig Geduld mit Nostalgie. #Porsche

My thoughts on the Luka-Yaxel exchange:
It’s fun, engaging competition. There wasn’t anything dirty or dangerous.
Good for the rookie to not back down, shows his confidence, but also in the process he lit a fuse under an all time scorer that got him going. Thats part of the game. If his teammates and coach are good with it and support him, then why should others have a problem with it?
It’s great that Yax took the 1v1 matchup very competitively, but the concern about getting so focused on proving a point is that it might distract him a little from team defense and awareness, which commonly is the hardest part for rookies already.
