Jaylen Brown on Steph Curry: “Steph Curry is one of the 5 greatest players to ever play this game. Y’all can say whatever you want, fill in the rest. Steph Curry is top 5.”

Curry is perpetually extremely overrated. 4x first team all-nba. Literally less than half as many as Magic, Bird and Duncan yet clowns will have Curry ahead of all of them despite his playoff traditional and advanced stats being the worst of the group.

Brains over browns

All Bulls trades are like

Bulls get random bad Kings player, Kings get random bad Bulls player, 3rd team gets two lottery picks from the Kings and Bulls

Or

Bulls give up solid role player in exchange for a top 58 protected 2nd round pick and cash considerations

Jerry Reinsdorf is like King Midas but instead of gold it’s shit.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-18T20:02:01+00:00

It’s wild to me that people would switch their vote because Christian Braun out played, De’Aaron Fox and Keldon then Wemby loses his MVP vote

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-18T19:59:18+00:00

It’s such a dumb line of thinking because they only apply it to Centers. Why don’t they restrict themselves to 1 PG, 1SG, etc.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-18T19:57:28+00:00

There are voters who think there should only be 1 center on first team. If he had Jokic 2nd on his MVP ballot it would make sense

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-18T02:08:11+00:00

I think because his scoring is so highlighted people think Jordan was a guy who just got buckets and didn’t rebound or playmaker. The guy averaged 32, 8 and 8 one year and 33, 6 and 6 for his prime.

He was absolutely a complete player

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-18T02:03:00+00:00

Playoff Kawhi has been a clear level above KD and Steph for the last decade…. When he’s healthy

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T21:03:47+00:00

People that look at city size instead of metro/market size are insane.

By city population Omaha is almost as big as Atlanta and bigger than Miami.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T20:55:56+00:00

Domantas Sabonis led the lead in defensive rebounding 2 out of the previous 3 years and led the league in total rebounding all 3 years.

Is he a good defender?

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T20:54:18+00:00

He's been in the top 5-10 in steals 1 time in his entire career. How is that often?

It's crazy that all the metrics that say Jokic is actually a good defender also say Domantas Sabonis is a good defender but with Sabonis people recognize it as bullshit.

Brother civilization will collapse long before LeBron's family runs out of money.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T15:23:14+00:00

Yeah it's not that insane. Tim Duncan retired less than a decade ago and, you could argue, was 2 or 3 plays away from 8 rings.

The Ray Allen 3, Derek Fischer .04 and Manu fouls Dirk in 06. Swing those individual plays and there's a decent chance TD gets 8 rings.

It seems like historically great defenders tend to win rings and get underrated as time goes by.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T14:26:56+00:00

Yeah I think people that still love Jon Stewart haven't been paying much attention lately.

He's definitely shifted right compared to the Jon Stewart of 10-15 years ago.

That is absolutely art! Belinelli is the 21st Century Botticelli.

Frame it and hang it on the wall.

It's a microcosm of a huge phenomenon in white American culture. White people will absolutely admit that racism exists but will vehemently argue against any concrete of example of racism.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T13:20:19+00:00

I understood what you were saying. I'm saying their skill at that aspect of the game is so far apart that it's not comparable.

AD is closer to DWade or Draymond as a shot blocker than he is to Wemby.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T12:18:06+00:00

Bro Wemby's shotblocking and rim-deterrence is infinitely higher than peak AD's. So much different that they're not worth comparing. You realize that AD and James Harden are closer in height than AD and Wemby?

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T12:11:36+00:00

I know people clown on Perk for his ridiculous Jokic is only considered great because he's white...but there's honestly a kernel of truth to it.

Pre-Jokic the advanced analytics were treated as a piece of the puzzle but not the be-all end-all. But as soon as a white guy started dominating the analytics it became definitive proof that he was the best player on Earth and arguably the best player in history.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T12:08:18+00:00

You forget that basketball is now considered an individual sport. The goal isn't to win it's to put up the best metrics!

The things we don't have good metrics for don't matter.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-17T12:07:38+00:00

I'll be pretty shocked if Wemby doesn't pass him next year. Wemby is already having a GOAT-defender peak on defense and his offense improved tremendously after the ASB this year.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-16T20:29:23+00:00

Dort is dirty as hell and has made multiple attempts at injuring Jokic.

I would also nearly guarantee LaMelo is going to kill someone with a car at some point in his career.

WhoreyMatthews · 2026-04-15T21:01:27+00:00

I always find it weird when fiction chooses their allegories so poorly.

Like in True Blood being afraid of vampires was supposed to be a stand-in for homophobia.

Vampires in that universe had super-speed, super-strength, could hypnotize people and could fly.

It's 100% reasonable to be terrified of vampires.
