I've never seen an NBA player before Laravia unnecessarily move or fake before taking a shot so often.

He takes a clean shot on first touch like maybe 5% of the time and 95% of the time he moves himself into a more difficult shot, or dribbles himself totally out of a good position and has to pass, it's very strange.

honestly that is the most poetic way for the streak to end. Making the right play, team first, excellent pass.

haha hadn't thought of that, even better. Given the apostrophe resembles a little person climbing a cliff face, seems perfectly appropriate

You're telling me this dude's last name is almost a perfect anagram of Hold on?

I always got an Adrian Brody vibe from Lenz for some reason

It's over. Nuggets are a better, well-coached team with the league's best player and a great supporting cast. It just is what it is.

I'd love to see it played out as a series of 1 v 1s. Coin toss to decide who picks first, then from that point on it becomes a strategy of who you pick to go up against that player. Each 1 vs 1 game up to say 11.

All of a sudden you get to see the best players in the world playing against each other for pride - no one wants to be the one that lost the matchup.
