That post sucks.

It doesn't really mention his steal averages. Saying "they will never be broken" isn't specific enough, like that person did with assists.

Posting for the plays, not the commentary. I like watching his highlights when I have time.

Thank you. I will get to this, and the Malone assists video, sometime.

Watching Kidd get inducted by Payton, among others, reminded me of how I'm still feeling incomplete about all of this.

Yes, Payton saying that Stockton was his toughest matchup to guard, is a good start.

But, I want to also know from Payton, who guarded him the best.

And who Stockton says was his toughest matchup to guard.

And who Stockton says guarded him the best.

I'd also like to know who Payton thought was his easiest matchup on offense.

And who Stockton thought was his easiest matchup on offense.

There's just more that I want to know from them.

I haven't listened to this yet, but I did hear a clip that Payton talks about Stockton during it.

Thanks.

I didn't know there was an autobiography.

I didn't want to read the link, due to spoilers.

I'll add it to my reading list.

I have it, but no. Too busy but when I have time, I do other things like checking this board or gardening.

This is the first time I've heard you mention gardening.

Do you mean yard work, or gardening?

If the latter, what do you grow?

Yardwork really. But my wife and children grow vegetables.

Sometimes I think that yardwork, and going to the dentist, are the worst chores in life.

What vegetables do they grow?

Washing dishes, soon after eating, is another one.

I would rather clean / vacuum / dust.

I like yard work that changes things or improves it. I will sometimes pay for it. I hate yard work that maintains it. But even worse I hate paying for something that maintains it. Paying to keep the status quo. Ugh. My wife says it looks good after, but I just think it’ll look bad later. Enjoy it when you got it.

Yes, this is what I'm thinking of. This is what I don't like, and this is my situation.

If I used my yard more for non cooking purposes, I would improve it, but I don't.

The good news is that I've been able to cut down on how long this yard work takes. Prior to April 2019, I was using a corded mower. There were some problems associated with that, including accidentally running over the cord, which seemed to happen every few years.

Then when I accidentally broke the mower, I decided to try a battery powered one, that also had a self-propelling feature. This mower is much better. No dealing with cords; battery life lasts over an hour, even in somewhat thick conditions; and the self-propelling is good for the spots that are on an incline.

All of this cut the time taken by more than 50%.

I still don't like this work, but at least it's better than it was before.

If someone grows only fruit like lemons, mangoes, pomegranates, and apples, is it still a garden?
