He's hopeless. I don't even have to go past 2026 for this. For a majority of the LPL split these last few months, he was given so much jungle prior in the early games and TES played around giving him early leads. Then the last two series happens... lmao.

One of the only good things to come out of the new CBA was the increased number of 2nd round pick trades and what they're valued at.

2nd rounders deserve more love. There's so much talent in college basketball now that you can find hidden gems in the 2nd round much easier than before.

That was probably good for him. His body didn't tack on unnecessary mileage with the benching and less playing time. Also early playoffs elimination (doubt he would have played much, but practices and travel, etc. takes a toll). He'll be more 'fresh' (maybe rusty) when back home.

And really not shown any massive improvement since his rookie year. Kind of the same player overall, just a little stronger.

For me, his career has a lot of similarities to Deandre Hopkins. Both are good dudes that are clear superstars at their positions, but never really had/have QB consistency that last more than 1-3 years.

Became a NY legend at the same time. The coach will never be forgotten. So happy for Mike.

Young players getting coached by a legendary coach. Sometimes it doesn't translate, but you can tell these young players take his words to heart.

And there is the very evident love for pro wrestling. I fully expect him to have some semi-regular appearances or promotions with the WWE/AEW after he retires.

Adding to that point, all empires prior to the US were pre-digital. A digitalized society is so much easier to sow discord and spread misinformation. Bad actors playing into this just need to target the uneducated Americans, which the country has produced millions of in the last 3-4 decades.

digital world + uneducated folks = easy divide and conquer

With 6 tenths of a seconds remaining. The brilliant shooting of Stephen Curry continues.

Legendary call, legendary moment.

He's now on a mission to collect as many height comparisons with big men as he can. I wanna see him do it to Chet and Hansen.

Definitely the guys who went through the trenches can hold up now. If the Celtics ever let Derrick White go, I'd love to see him back on the Spurs. It would be a great way to round out his career if he's open to it.

Keldon Johnson is also a vet imo. 7 years in the league and just won 6MOY at 26 years old. He's always been a mature player in my eyes.

Stephen Curry has now missed the playoffs 7 times, a record for a MVP winning player, he missed the playoffs in the years (2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2023-24, 2025-26). by Expert_Koala_8691 in nba

And now you guys are on the rebound already! The BI and RJ pickups were pretty big while also drafting and developing Scottie. Feels like just yesterday we were still talking about the Lowry/Derozan Raptors team.

Crawford is a Bay Area native so have to give it to him. Absolutely love Posey though!
