In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are joined by special guest Anders (@Lyng) to celebrate the news that ETH is staying put! They also talk about the Euros so far, with special attention on England, Scotland and Denmark. They then finish with some transfer talk and the potential comings and outgoings at Old Trafford.
Not even fit to wipe my ...
Any point in me asking about my guy? 
Hobber‘s getting cocky with his first title in mind already.
Oh don't worry, you feature in the next update.Any point in me asking about my guy?
The difference between me (1st) and Solius (4th) is the same difference between Solius (4th) and Nene (63rd)
It's quite an involved algorithm. I though maybe it was exaggerating your score because you built an automatic DPOY machine, but when I lowered the impact of DPOY from x3 to x2 it barely changed.
What about the impact of being able to score a basket
He scored 16points once. (probably more than my max though) - or typo by nimic.
Hail the goat who destroyed basketball.
Hail the goat who destroyed basketball.
Here are the 35 best seasons of all time, using a different formula. It also uses advanced stats, so very old players are underrated. It's mainly a regular season metric.
Is the star MVP?
Gold star yes, which funnily means the best season of all time didn't win MVP. The 6th best season of all time won it that year.
Obviously they're using different metrics.
Here we see the problem of peaking at SA and Charlotte
True, but notice just how few of the greatest seasons that were championship seasons. You can see the ring next to the stars. Only Solius out of you guys has yet won a ring while playing one of the 35 best seasons of all time.
BenitoSTARR has 7 seasons on the list: 04, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11. When did he win his rings? 00 and 02.
I guess to have a truly outstanding season like that you probably don't have too much help.

I’m basically the goat then.
I see zero altos on the best seasons ever.
Basically you.
I forget how many rings I have. Three?.jpg
Imagine needing a ring to justify your existence.
Sounds like the words of a ringless bitch.
didn't even make top 100 
Wait, one of us didnt make the top 100??
didn't even make top 100
I came for the money and I left happyWait, one of us didnt make the top 100??
He has five fingers, why's he putting two rings on one of them?
Also why is your left hand black. And also why is your thumb so messed up.
And who is Trh10dlan?
14/15 All Star Weekend
New
2015 All Star Weekend
(@BenitoSTARR @Dan @Dr. Dwayne @P-Nut @Salt Bailly @Samid @Skizzo @Solius @Stobzilla @The Cat @V.O. @altodevil @hobbers @oneniltothearsenal @reelworld @sebsheep @weetee)
Final (significant) trades of the season
hobbers & Skizzo (Celtics), Solius & sontodevil (Grizzlies) - Solius and sontodevil are both guards, so naturally the Grizzlies trade two forwards for another guard. He's pretty good, mind.
Two Nil (Raptors) - Pelicans got robbed (unless Bruno Caboclo fulfills his potential quickly)
Standings
Really a tale of two halves, here. We've got three Cafite-teams near the bottom, with losing form (Knicks, Raptors and Bucks), three in the top half with winning form (Celtics, Heat and Pistons?!) - and then Dr. Dwayne's Cavaliers closer to the bottom but with a winning record. Mind you, the Bucks are only four wins off a playoff spot, so it's not quite over.
Not quite the same in the West as in the East, though we've also got a clear split of winning form and losing form. At this rate the only oldie who's making the playoffs from the West is Samid. Things change quickly, though. Lil' V.O. truly got drafted into a great situation. Might they even be championship contenders? There are two monsters in the East, but with altodevil seemingly out of the picture, the path is open to the finals. Mind you, the Lakers finishing 8th and then taking out the Rockets in the 1st Round is not an unthinkable scenario.
Slam Dunk Contest
I might have to start spoilering the dunk contest, if Cafites are going to start winning it. That's two in a row for The Cub! His team is having a horrid season, but he's having a great one. Except, you know, he's on the team with a horrid season.
3 Point Contest
Samid returns, as does 5x winner Solius. BenitoSTARR is conspicuous in his absence, but we've got two other former winners in P-Nut and reelworld II in. Dan II has played like 25 minutes of basketball this season, but he won't let that stop him. He doesn't need high basketball IQ to find the hoop in the 3 point contest.
1st Round (4 advance)
Salim Stoudamire: 21
Ben Gordon: 19
Kevin Durant: 25
It feels cruel that Samid is eliminated in the 1st round while shooting 25/30, but reelworld II, Dan II, Solius and P-Nut all out-did him (barely). It's a full on Cafite affair!
2nd Round (2 advance)
This means Samid's 25 wasn't good enough to make the 2nd Round, but would have been good enough to make the Final Round. That's the way the cookie crumbles. As it is, we'll have P-Nut up against rookie sensation (well...) Dan II. P-Nut struggled for so long to win his first 3 Point Contest, is he really going to let this newbie equal him just like that?
Final Round
That's two in a row for P-Nut!
All Star Game
Pepper Bailly, Lil' V.O and Nobbers all make their first All Star teams, though Nobbers will have to sit it out with a minor injury. The Cub captains his first All Star Team, while playing for the the worst team in the conference.

The East is back to their winning ways. Kevin Durant is All Star MVP, but hobbers, sontodevil and The Cub all acquitted themselves well. Looking at the stats, I'm pretty sure The Cub, altodevil and sontodevil cannibalized each other for rebounds.
Someone break Durants legs, please
3pt champion 2x in a row and then take 2 shots in the all star game.
That’s the last time you’re winning that.
I feel sick.
Your contract expires after the season, and your son is in the upcoming draft. Maybe brighter days ahead. Dark days now, though.
We'll see, hopefully get a decent move this end season, and the age of P-Nut can rise.
Here's a preview of the next draft, as it currently stands. It may change if someone else has their son join the draft. I think weetee and Dr. Dwayne are the ones who can do it without retiring, then next draft Samid, Skizzo and BenitoSTARR can.
So proud of my boy.
How does he have less than 60 overall?
It's not entirely clear how overall rating is decided, but the actual rating has no impact on how good a player actually is. Or rather, the overall rating is a function of the other ratings, which obviously directly decide how good a player is, but the algorithm isn't necessarily... correct - or straightforward. Particularly when you guys get your grubby, meddling hands on it, and create players that the game would never make on its own.
