”It's not just a keel and a hull and sails; that's what a ship needs, not what a ship is.
What the Black Pearl really is, is freedom."
–Captain Jack Sparrow
Some folks just aren’t cut out for a life on solid ground. The call of the open water is just too strong and promise of brisk wind, salt spray, and the rhythm of the waves cannot be ignored. On the water there are no laws, no fancy etiquette, and none of the Jarls’ taxes; it's just you and the endless depths. Perhaps you long for the Pirate's Code and the pursuit of rum and wenches? Maybe you wish to ply your trade as an honest merchant on the waterways between the port towns. Or is it that you simply want to be rocked to sleep at night by gentle waves on a raft floating on a lake? Whatever your fancy, this list will hopefully help you find that perfect place between water and sky to call home.

“I'm on a boat motherfucker take a look at me
Straight flowin on a boat on the deep blue sea
Bustin five knots, wind whippin out my coat
You can't stop me motherfucker cause I'm on a boat”

...rumors of a land where survivors band together to preserve humanity against the endless horde.
Many sailors say they have seen many strange things across the seas, but for once, their story seems credible: Large and powerful ships, wearing large red and green flags, with large white saltires, a golden laurel crown in their center, sailing towards the coasts of the Nations of Bounty, 3 and 5.
But after all, a few drunken sailors may well invent similar stories ... Perhaps there is not even any land in the North of the Continent, perhaps all this is just a rumor of tavern ... or maybe not
I was reading this OC post yesterday and it got me thinking. When you look at the numbers, cuts by every measurement is the most efficient way to score the basketball. Thus any player that can generate the most cutting opportunities becomes the most efficient player in the game. That efficiency becomes value over time.
At first, this logic seems pretty straight forward. Oh of course cuts are the most efficient way to score, so what? It doesn't really matter, does it? In fact, It matters far more than we give credit for. Look throughout history. MJ back in the 80s, Lost in the first round 3 years in a row. Until of course the Bulls added Phil Jackson who installed the triangle. A system of using a players talent and gravity in the post to generate cutting opportunities. With that system, MJ won 3 straight Championships twice. Look at Bill Russell's success over Wilt. Russell played team basketball with passing while wilt played iso ball with him getting all the stats. Wilt didn't win more championships because his teams didn't generate cuts.
Cutting stats also explain some of the weird things we see in defensive plus-minus stats. Why is it Danny Green is so much more impactful in DRPM than Klay Thomson when we can clearly see with our eyes Klay is good at defense? The answer is Cutting defense. cutting is the most efficient way for a team to score, so preventing cutting opportunities becomes the most important skill defensily a player could have. Klay Thomason is a great on-ball defender, but we tend not to notice his off-ball defense. While Green is a good, not great on-ball defender but his off-ball preventing cuts is something we never even think about. Still though, because preventing off-ball cuts is so important Danny Green DRPM stats show a far greater impact.
All this leads me to say. Nikola Jokic will be MVP in 2020. Having a big man that can hit cutters like steve nesh while also having big man value combined leads him to be the most valuable player in the game. We've already seen how Jokic was able to lead the often injured Nuggets to the second seed in the west as the only all-star. Given a healthy Gary Harris, one of the best cutters in the game, Jokic will lead the Nuggets to 60+ wins and win his first of many MVPs. This logic is also why team USA is going to lose to Serbia by 20.
This is my daily. I would really like to use it in game as well. I only have about a million credits but I'm willing to give you what I have. Thanks!
Edit: I no longer need the type-r. One of you kind redditors came through. Thanks everyone!!!
