I tried to scan these as best as I possibly could and arrange them by date and rank.
As far as I can tell MSG Barnes was an Airborne Infantry Paratrooper who had a CIB, Master Parachutist Badge and deployments to Korea and Vietnam. Unfortunately, MSG Barnes passed away in the early 90's and neither my wife or myself ever had the pleasure to meet him.
There are some awesome pictures included in this, even some during flight, mid-jump and at the LZ. I was amazed that he was able to collect so many during these events. I think he has even more pictures that I managed to take during my own deployment to Afghanistan lol. Enjoy!
I know it sounds really irresponsible financially, but this is a gamble. I'm not paying harrison for what he does right now, which is hit 3s and guard 3's and 4's well. He's also got better in isolation. But he's not a max player right now. Yet, I would still pay him the max because of what he has the potential to do. To me, it would be like paying butler the max 2 years before the fact, because he has that potential. I believe, from everything I've read, Harrison is a hard worker who wants to be great. I'm also more inclined to pay him because Luke knows how to use him, and what he needs to work on.
Scottie Barnes got techβd up for clapping his hands. He was tryna hype his team up and got called for a tech bc refs are stupid and thought he was mad even tho i aint ever seen scottie complain about a single thing in the game of basketball, that kid plays with a smile on his face al 48 minutes words words
Thorpe taking a massive victory lap on his Scottie Barnes takes on the latest TrueHoop podcast
Here was his pre-draft take on Barnes:
> Iβd hate to be an NBA agent. But if I had to be, Iβd like to be Scottie Barnesβ agent. Iβd tell everybody heβs the most Giannis-like NBA prospect since Giannis. Who wouldnβt draft that guy?
> Personally, Iβd take him second overall.
> He can genuinely defend every position, other than jumbo centers like Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokicβand even then he could make life tough. Barnes loves to pass, has a flair for the dramatic, and celebrates with equal enthusiasm when anyone on his team does well.
> Heβs a decade-plus NBA starter at worst. In the right setting and with a bit of luck, heβs a mix of Scottie Pippen, Draymond Green, and Giannis.
Here's a recent piece explaining the Magic comparison:
> By using his size and playing bully-ball in the second box (the half of the paint below the free-throw line), or just outside of it. What we see here against Al Horford is beautiful for Raptors fans. What he did against Boston in that second quarter was even prettier. Isolated against Tatum, Barnes maneuvered into the paint using his handle and body to get to a slightly fading push-shot jumper that he made from about 12 feet in the middle of the paint. It looked perfect. And repeatable. It also looked like the kind of basket Magic Johnson used to make. Neither man is a textbook-perfect jump-shooter but both are super long 6-8 ball handlers with a knack for making buckets when they have to. Itβs basketballβs equivalent of getting on base, and the precise kind of manufactured points the Raptors will need to make noise in the playoffs.
I'm Geoff Barnes, M.D., and I work as a cardiologist and vascular medicine specialist at the University of Michigan Health System in the United States. You can follow me on Twitter at @GBarnesMD. My professional areas of interest include anticoagulation, venous thromboembolism, quality improvement and shared decision-making. I'm currently leading multiple NIH- and AHRQ-sponsored studies to improve the safety for patients on chronic anticoagulants. In honor of World Heart Day, I'm here to answer anything you want to know about heart health and blood clots. For instance, did you know that people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) are at greater risk for stroke and are estimated to account for 15% of the 15 million strokes that occur worldwide every year? I'll get started around 2pm ET (18 UT) - AMA!

When the Golden State Warriors started training camp in 2012, their roster already had the same 5 guys who, with patience and a coaching change, would go on to win the NBA Title and break the all-time regular season wins record several years later.
By the same token, the 1996/1997, the Los Angeles Lakers had Shaq, Robert Horry, Kobe and Derek Fisher. This same core of players, 3 seasons later, would win their first of 3 NBA Championships in a row and post the best playoff record of all-time in 2001.
Are there any teams that had a very talented core of players and who could have gone on to win a championship or be dominant if they had just stayed patient with their group?
>Nick Nurse, asked if Barnes or Birch have to take more 3s: "I'd like them both to be shooting more threes. I'd like them to be making some if they're gonna shoot some, and they're capable. While we're on the subject, I'm disappointed that Scottie isn't taking 3 or 4 threes a game"
>Nick Nurse on Yuta Watanabe's eagerness to return from injury: "He's getting pissΠ΅d. He really wants to play."

> Jenny Gow, "If you do come to be world champion this year and you fulfill that ambition, what ambition is there for you to achieve, what's the goal?" > > > Max Verstappen, "In F1 not so much, that's it... you've complete it, and it doesn't really matter anymore or how many you win because you've already won one. Of course, I would always try to win more, but that's done... that's the final goal. I would have worked very hard to try and achieve that, and after that there's a lot less pressure. Of course I have a lot of fun driving, then maybe slowly start to think about other stuff outside of Formula 1 to achieve.*
I don't want to take his response out of context, he is giving an answer to the BBC and British Media.
I just have a strong feeling there's a "Nico Rosberg" type exit on the horizon with this type of response. It suggests that he feels winning one WDC could give him fulfillment and closure. We all know he has the talent to win multiple WDC, but he sounds super grounded and accepting having just one.
It also suggests to me, if he was in an uncompetitive situation after having won a WDC. He wouldn't stick around in the mid-field or the tail-end. It'd be championship/podium drive or exit.
He's also stated it would not be the end of the world if he doesn't win this year. Like Nico Rosberg, I think he will definitely stick around to secure at least one WDC and if the opportunity exists to win more.
F1 dominance and supremancy doesn't appear to be his end game. I feel Lewis tried very hard to emulate Senna's 3 WDC and he lucked into being a part of Merc's dominance in the turbo-hybrid era and will walk away from the sport as a multiple world champion.
