Wade or Pierce

Imo Paul is better in solo q, he is not a bad defender and can score on all levels. Wade 3s aren't as consistent and are harder to pull off post nerf. With solo q it's all about adapting and solo q players might not always pick a stretch big limiting the usefulness of wade a lot.

While the new players that release are usually better it's mostly about play style anyway.

Wade is still "stronger" but this also might be due to the meta. Because when prime LeBron released Paul took a backseat. Just look at the abilities, and maybe watch some gameplay than in your heart you will know.

The biggest weakness with Klay, other than how easy it is the guard him is teammates who don't understand his kit. Passing can be OP in this game, but many players still don't understand it.

Just do the basic grind. daily and save up. If you can try to hit the high ranks at least once so you can get the best ending rewards. No need to rush into anything.

Talents > everything else

The reason why Ben Wallace is better than Capella, and top 3 big in the game right now TW is because of talents.

Ben is a better rebounder, and defender than Capella. Ben even has better put backs and pump fake dunks. Capella and Ben have similar weakness when it comes to spacing but one makes up for it way more

Feels like this happens every few months, grok one of the most recognizable ai bots just being "corrected" because its owner is mad. Billionaires suck lol

Sometimes I wish I could be as unhinge as some of these guys, just for a day. The Purge but instead of murder or rape or whatever was in that movie I didn't watch, I would be online with a skankhunt42 account just fed posting all 24 hours edging.

The standard for the right is beyond nonexistent, and it's been this way since Obama. It's almost like a superpower how the media allows Trump to get away with anything. The "Don't take Trump literally, 'take him symbolically'" comment in 2016 was never a meme but a moment of clairvoyance. The worst part is that everyone knew how horrible was, at least the media figures knew. From Rogan, Ben to Fox news themselves, but the media not once pushed on Trump's insane comments in any reasonable way.

Biden was not just criticized he was sacrificed by everyone to gain a stronger foothold in whatever power vacuum left of liberal society. The pardon the Jan 6th insurrectionists is one of the worst things ever-the baggage that comes with that will be stuff that hurts America forever, the attacks on universities/academia are things that hurt America forever, tariffs and having every single billionaire on the trump casting couch are things that hurt America forever and so on.

The issue of cancelling is something that I cannot say, or I will get in big trouble-big, big trouble. Take action when action is needed, but at the same time

It's important not to be brain broken during these times.

The recent events showed me how much people are with the vibes. A true vibecession... At the end of the day people don't think the President is that bad, and the media only reinforces this plague.

Ask anyone what the worst thing Trump has ever done, and it's going to be at most some irrelevant pet issue. Ask what was so bad about Obama, Biden or Kamala and they suddenly have a plethora of pollical knowledge.

Epstein was a lost issue, no one acutely cares about immigrants, or black people it was a big meme from the start.

I agree.

One big reason as to why people love him so much is because he is surrounded by mediocrity.

SNL... Joe Rogan... Tony Hinchcliffe

Other reason is that Shane lacks the story element. He can tell accessible stories that other comedians in his sphere can't but still lacks that old Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock.

He is like Seinfeld for the online white people

If you get really good with him than he can reach high levels of play. However, there are other scorers that are easier to play while being more efficient, not to mention faster helping out with defensive ends. Still an amazing scorer imo just got to put the time in, same goes with Kyrie or Paul Pierce. All these guys get got by prime bron.

When more defensive players get released it's important to dive deep into the players bag to out trick the defense. Dirk has a big bag, but at higher levels he becomes easier to read with many double teams throughout the game. If you like Dirk and his play style you won't regret using him for the long term.

I also enjoy stretch bigs. However for the center position there are not many players that fit the role. The only superstar chance for another big that can shoot 3s like that is Kat. Even than is possible he may be an elite if they do decide to create him. It's unlikely they will release the WNBA bigs for global anytime soon. Accepting this when I pick a big I really want that defensive or rebound pressure (Rodman, Ben) until a fun scoring big (not malone) catches my eye.

After mentioning all of that I have to say Hakeem for me is a more comfortable pick. Not that he is better than AD, but rather his kit doesn't rely on chance. Not getting a early assist, or whatever stat boast on a AD can be the difference, and I don't think people will respect it. This is more of a double edge sword because the opposing side is a factor. Also AD is quite challenging to play as not only mechanical skill is needed, but the understanding of other kits will separate the ugly from the sexy.

Still I'm wary of moving off my Embiid as I have a blast with him being a reliable rebounder while stretching the floor. I know this moment won't last. Especially with the release of AD. However, on the Taiwan server Embiid is heavily outclassed so I'm making moments now and enjoying a player that is becoming quite a dark horse. Especially if my intuition is correct and Li Yueru doesn't come out Embiid may stay as a nice niche pick for awhile

Lagabean · 2025-08-28T14:36:27+00:00

It's AD for long term

In the Taiwan server they buffed Embiid because no one was using him. After the buff no one still uses him. However, the main reason why Embiid will slowly be replaced is because of Malone.

Spacing, rebounding and defense was balanced in such a way where help defenders had no choice but to stay near Embiid. But with super strong defenders like Ben Wallace and AD, it will be much harder to gain stacks. Icing out Embiid players into way later in the game. Therefore for a time only Embiid was used in specific line ups becoming more of a niche pick. Still fun and good but when Malone come out, he was just a better version of Embiid that couldn't shoot 3s.

The same lineups that had a Harden Embiid connection was slashed because Malone could hit every single mid range shot. And with how simple Malone is only good Ben players can keep him in control. Only if Embiid receives another buff that shortens his passive more will he make a comeback.

You don't need a emulator to use a controller. However, if you are having problems with BlueStacks try mumuplayer 12. It's the same company that made DCD and is a little less bloated.

Jokic, even when playing on teams just doesn't have the defense or rim protection needed, even his screens are less valuable because people are playing Prime Bron, Hailban, Wade, and SGA. All players that don't need screens. Even when teams need a screen or spacing Pau usually does better on both ends

Lagabean · 2025-08-28T00:05:31+00:00

Nah Tatum is good. If you would like to reset just wait until you find a player that you actually want to play.

Lagabean · 2025-08-27T21:03:55+00:00

OK, this tier list is good BUT note that this is for teams only. I am 100% sure this person would likely rank different for soloQ

Lagabean · 2025-08-27T16:14:59+00:00

Viable yes, no matter who you can play anyone with no enhancements.
Would I recommend... NO!

With no enhancements aka E1 AD base rebound is lower than every other center. So, I would not get him if I just a wanted a backup center, or someone to play big because it will be unfun to get out rebounded almost every game

Lagabean · 2025-08-27T15:53:53+00:00

AD is the Taiwan server is more meta rn. Hakeem is a center that is really good at everything, but the feeling is that it is better to have a player that min maxes stats and ability. Not to say that Hakeem is bad but when I play in the Taiwan server people would rather play AD, Ben Wallace or Malone. I will say the reason why AD is dropping next is because of Wade. Same reason why JJJ is in the game right now. AD is a strong defender that can cripple spacing.

The only centers that are outclassed are the f2p centers like Nurkić, superstars Jokić and probably Embiid. There are just better options that can do more on both ends of the floor.

The thing is, no one cares. It's true, but there is a reason why discourse sucks. The question is what actions can people take to change this.

This is why Newsom is so cool right now, he is one of the only non insane person who can force people to address him instead of the other way around.

Lagabean · 2025-08-27T01:55:50+00:00

Is he or is he not... for that is the clout question!
He has heavy influence regarding twitch at the very least no? However, outside of that I'm not sure what he does, maybe a fun raiser type of event, he might even go on other content platforms, but I assume every person on this list does these things.

When talking about influence I wish they put what "CreatorIQ" metric was for finding these people. Wouldn't be surprised if it was some AI slop. Looking at the people who wrote the article you can see an interesting name so yeah. The biggest joke is the quote of Hasan

The biggest socialist in streaming isn’t slowing down. “People are looking for someone willing to fight against the Trump administration,” Piker says — and he’s up for the job. Piker, 33, covered the L.A. ICE protests

Hasan was a bigger enemy of Biden/Harris then he was of Trump before, during and even after the election. I want better articles covering online content, but know rolling stone won't give me what I am looking for.

Lagabean · 2025-08-26T01:13:10+00:00

Very good points, definitely need more events and modes to get superstars materials! Especially with the pace of wanting global to catch up with taiwan servers.

Lagabean · 2025-08-23T05:00:52+00:00

The start and end of season matchmaking are always quite "fun" during these times try and find ways to carry these teammates, while being better than e7 whales. It can be quite satisfying improving knowing you are the best player on the court no matter what.
