he was just so dominant during the season though
watching him go against this Rapture Wall is just exaggerating his lack of "skill"

his jumper is a long way coming but imagine if he had some touch around the rim off the board/floaters
he only 25 though

He shot 41% from 3 in the Cletics series. His game ain't stagnant. He on the right track.
 
Don’t sleep on the David Griffin/ Lebron rapport. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s getting under the table klutch money. Lakers can package the 4th, Kuzma and BI for AD. Neither side will say no. AD comes to the Lakers and Kyrie will mosey over too. And just like that Lebron gets another shot at a ring :smh:

NO would be crazy fun to watch too

It feels like the NBA and the parties that endorse it have made more of a conscious effort to lean into the NFL way of doing things. They even segment the season now like the NFL, by week. That way of digesting NBA has permeated itself into hot take culture.

You separate the NBA by weeks, which allows you to change and flip flop by week, thus more content to talk about.

Plus the NBA is insanely popular, and flip flopping and having top rope takes drives conservation.

i guess you missed when the owner said 'a deal would be made with the lakers 'over her dead body'' huh?
 
Lebron mechanics still look funny. He goes from different FT strokes/routines like year to year. :lol:

Shooting is never gonna be certain guys strength. Just gotta improve and let it stop you from being productive like a Ben Simmons.
bron FT mechanics def trash but his jumper is better than before
but yeah i noticed that he's been doing a bit more of a set shot from 3 lol

giannis has a weird kinda hitchy looking movement in his

I guess you missed when the owner said she just wants to make AD happy and do right by him. That 4th pick changes things...
 
GS need to stop frontin. KD was never coming back this yr from injury

I think he’s ready to come back but it’s a bluff on both sides. Lacob and company want to show KD that they can win without him as a pitch for him to stay. The road to a ring goes through GS. The last thing KD would want to do is leave and have to play against GS next season in a playoff or finals series...

KD is gonna pick up the 1 year option and stay
 
You have to remember, these shows are marketed towards casuals, not people like you or I

Saying Kawhi Leonard is the best player in the NBA won't cut it. Saying Kawhi Leonard is more clutch than Kobe Bryant or whatever definitely will.

He has to compete with Stephen A who's a superstar, this is par for the course. It's Hot Take Culture. This is the same show that let Skip show up to perform wearing this

the bucks can easily take out the raptors. but their coaching and adjustments are ***. they're helping way too much on kawhi leaving the lowry's and vanvleet's open. their game plan should be playing good one on one d on kawhi and if he scores so be it force him to exert energy on every trip he's gonna be limping by the third quarter because of that injury.
Excluding OT and garbage time, they haven’t broken 100 in 3 straight games, and you talking about their defense on Kawhi... in a game where Toronto scores 102 before the intentional foul game :lol:

They’ve defended well enough to take 2 of the last 3 games, they can’t score right now, led by their star
 
Kellerman is just following in the footsteps of Stephen A. after seeing him get $10m’s/year

Stephen A. laid the blueprint of creating a character of hot takes and getting paid from it like an athlete

Can’t hate on that :pimp:
 
Stephen A is likebale, and funny looking enough where we just brush by his hot takes and are more in tune with his character. As @MVP would say....”best sports personality”

I can’t watch those baby’s Stephen A videos at work. I had to get up and walk away to laugh for real after one of them :lol.
 
Giannis don't even have a floater in his game lol
I still love him though and he's only scratching the surface of what he can be
Just gotta refine some of that offensive repertoire

a floater is for people shooting over the taller defender. giannis will pretty much never have that problem. giannis game is actually pretty limited offensively, but his natural talent is SO far above and beyond everyone else hes dominating.

he doesnt have a crazy handle... or even an average guards handle... but his long steps make up for the need to dribble
he doesnt have a good jumpshot... why shoot when you can get to the rim at will and dunk over literally everyone in the league
no traditional post game... just pivot enough to face the basket, if you're within 4 feet of the basket.... use length to dunk it

when he really dials in that outside shot... he becomes completely unguardable level.

question though, is giannis the most physically dominant player in the league right now? and... if so... who is he the most dominant player since?

You seen the Baby Kawhi laugh video?
 
I guess you missed when the owner said she just wants to make AD happy and do right by him. That 4th pick changes things...
oh yeah, i def didnt see that. but i think she meant, make him happy....enough to stay. you can grant his trade request without sending him to the lakers.
