"Don't understand why people are so infatuated with him."

manI wish I saw him play in his hey day. I saw him play his last season and he was still a bad *** on the court. Pure skill, guile, worked them angles and still got buckets.

I think an argument could be made for Lamelo there.

Kawhi played 51 out of 64 games (80%), Steph played 5 out 65 (8%) and KD did not play at all. If it wasn't clear, the list isn't based solely on the 2019-2020 season so with that in mind, I think it's solid. I could see why folks would argue Kawhi over KD.

While it isn’t solely based on the current season, who is to say if Steph and KD in 20-21 will be the same players they were in 18-19

Why ignore the 19-20 season?

Also Giannis lead his team to the best record 2 years in a row while Lebron failed to make the playoffs last year

CURRENTLY

I’d rank them

Giannis
Lebron
Kawhi
Harden
Steph
KD

Would y’all trust the guys with 2 FMVP or 0? :nerd:

Cashflow · May 28, 2020

Would you trust the guy that never shows up in the playoffs or the guy who is the focal point of a 3 time championship team? :nerd:

Also saw The Basketball Tournament is coming back with a 24-team single elimination tournament. If a player on a team contracts COVID-19 then his team is eliminated....

Yo, this is funny af to me. So random.

I'd assume it's because you would then have to quarantine everyone that came into contact with that player for 2 weeks....

don’t know who you’re talking about.

KD was only the focal point for 2 championships teams. :nerd:

Yea, that’s probably the reason. It just didn’t read that way to me.

I just pictured Ice Cube saying, “and if any of y’all catch COVID, the whole team gone.”

I don’t like melo game. No explosiveness, funny style j and he don’t strap. That’s from the outside looking in tho.

One of these fans gon be like "how dare you, he's avg 39 pts a year and he's so crafty!!!"

nick. · May 28, 2020

Harden has played 37 MPG and at least 72 games + playoffs in every season since he was traded to Houston.

Seems to be in fine shape.

When asked about Harden’s dramatic weight loss on his Instagram Live, Austin Rivers conveyed how shocked he was at the transformed James.

“I gotta see if that picture is real,” started Rivers. “Cause he looks — I don’t know what he’s been doing during quarantine. He looks good though.”

Austin also pointed out that a heavier Harden was still dominating:

“Y’all can call it what you want but ‘beefy’ Harden was averaging 36 so I don’t even know what skinny Harden is gonna do,” said Austin. “He definitely lost a cool 20 pounds.”

The spin on this weight loss could go either way. With all the talk about him losing steam in MDA's system come May, I would think that this hiatus would be a significant benefit for him. Based on current standings they'd draw Denver in the first round who I think they could beat in 6 (Sorry Wavy).

He was losing steam before MDA got there, that's none of my business though.
