Confirmed he’ll win 5 rings.


No, you got it wrong...

The Jordan association is rightly done by adding up the Finals score... 4 + 2 = 6. You can disregard the rest.

Then you sum this up with all the letters from Chris Duarte's full name, you'll have 6 + 6 + 6 + 6... 24 titles confirmed.

Brian Roberts was a 27-year old rookie in 2012-13. He led the NBA in Free Throw percentage in 2013-14 at 94% - one of the top ten highest season percentages in league history. On basketball-reference, his "Appearances on Leaderboards, Awards, and Honors" has only that one entry.

Jordan Sibert is tied for the highest career 3-pt% in NBA history (minimum 1 attempt) with an astounding 100% (1/1).

In 2020, Kostas Antetokounmpo became the first former University of Dayton basketball player to earn an NBA ring since Johnny Davis won one with the Portland Trailblazers in 1977, even though Kostas saw 0 minutes during the postseason.

(All of your Dayton curiosities in one post.)

By the way, which Francis Eggs do you mean?

Is it Francis "Sunny Side" Eggs .... or Francis "Eggs" Benedict?



By the way Chris Duarte is 25 ... and likes quiche.


If you think reading a Francis Bacon book is cool, then you must listen to Chimbinha playing the guitar. Now THIS is cool.

About Francis Eggs, if you add all the letters of his name... = 11.

Then you add all the types of eggs that you can cook in the kitchen... = 12. (link for proof).

11 + 12 = 23. Michael Jordan confirmed.

Chris Duarte = 24.

24 > 23.

Chris Duarte will have a better career than Michael Jordan. Reptilians confirmed too.

Chris Duarte once ate 15 chickens for charity. But it took him a while if we're being honest.

Chris Duarte often pretends to like science fiction but actually prefers coming of age stories with a touch of romance.

Chris Duarte collects rubber bands in the hope of one day melting them into a giant inedible gummy bear.

Chris Duarte thinks his friend dresses poorly but is too polite to say anything. His friend's clothes are actually quite drab fwiw.

Chris Duarte saved the town of Frisco, Texas from a coyote attack. If you never heard about this, thank Chris Duarte. Could have been way worse.

Problem with your calculations ... missing egg preparations

1) Break the yolk, Over Hard,
2) Egg Salad,
3) Quiche (which it's rumoured Chris Duarte likes),
4) Fritata,
etc



Maybe ... just maybe ... Chris Duarte is 25 and will never be as good as MJ

Duarte is 25, Jordan was 23. 25 > 23



Still, Chris Duarte is 25 which is actually 5x5 ... MJ is 23 and that's a PRIME number ... and as such is indivisible by anything but the word GOAT leaving the answer "1". "1st" > "5th"

Stephen Curry has made 3x as many threes while coached by Steve Kerr (2212) than Steve Kerr did total (726).

The attention to detail here is amazing. Frisco actually did have a rash of coyote attacks like 3 years ago lol.

Patrick McCaw entered the league at 21, won three championships with two different teams from two different conferences, and has flamed out of the league by the time he was 25, which was two seasons ago.

Chris Duarte is 25 and has made 90 free throws in his NBA career.

Brian Scalabrine's best 3pt% for a regular season was an exact 40.000%

So was Tim Duncan's.

I know he played professionally overseas as well, but goes to show you that mileage can be more important than age. the grind of an NBA season is unlike any other & takes such a toll
