While I do think that Kevin Durant can be petty and overly sensitive on social media but I totally agree with him pushing back on media members putting words in his mouth. Don't say "Kevin Durant told me XYZ" when that conversation clearly didn't happen. Jay Williams to be called out for this foolishness.

Completely agree that Giannis is a big, and should be viewed as an evolutionary big rather than some sort of freak evolutionary wing or guard. I personally think it is 90% coaching’s fault at this point.

Once you acknowledge he’s a big a lot of this talk about learning to shoot seems stupid. Even a dominant big isn’t going to be able to create their own shot initiating outside of the paint against every possible defense... it’s just not realistic. On the flip side a big can do a lot of things great guards can never do, especially protecting the rim on the defensive end which Giannis generally does very well.

They need a great guard if they want to win a championship. Giannis is a top 5 player but he’s so versatile people have convinced themselves he’s the solution to every problem on that team. He needs to play off ball more and they need a star shooter and creator. I’m not talking Middleton, Bledsoe, Holiday.

Otherwise you’re talking about a ECF ceiling which is about right for a one star team in the modern nba.

“Giannis needs to learn to shoot for his team to win” is a little like “Luka needs to protect the rim better for his team to win.” Ok that’s an extreme, but you get the point...

this the only thing I agree with. We all know that if it wasn’t for sports, KD probably wouldn’t get women. That’s not reality though. I love KD on social media.

Imagine Kobe Bryant in his prime on twitter. Kobe’d probably be similar to KD

 

[shotsrangout]

Kobe is a quiet dude isn’t he

dude would probably be like Steph on Twitter. Just doing endorsements

Well deserved

 

[shotsrangout]

I think Julius Randle deserved the MVP this year

I could see Kobe retweeting folks after the Finals/ 81 point game/ect. trolling

ESPN aired a Taco Bell commercial during the selection of Jokic. Seven years later, Jokic wins the MVP on "Taco Tuesday". Funny how life works

Over jokic?

This is the only reason I’m not completely, totally out on Porzingis yet — though it’s close regardless.

Normal dudes that have been regularly healthy and available their whole careers were beaten down by this grind.
