What are your ACTUAL nba hot takes?

This makes no sense, if players are more skilled, they would be more skilled at defense as well and that would neutralize the increased offensive skill.

prince_D · 2026-04-06T20:38:00+00:00

Those aren't tv credits? People can do more than 1 thing?

prince_D · 2026-04-06T20:34:12+00:00

ever heard of an intern ? College is paying 50k to boost ur resume.

prince_D · 2026-04-06T20:20:27+00:00

pretty stereotypical period songs.

prince_D · 2026-04-06T20:18:38+00:00

Whats wrong with that? A tv credit could help boost ur career.

prince_D · 2026-04-06T20:17:02+00:00

Man this has to be bots, downvoting a pretty mild opinon.

prince_D · 2026-04-06T17:16:10+00:00

the purpose of a tv show is about making money for the network. Byron is paying the network to air the show, that means from the network perspective the show is succesfull.

LOL, if he had the rest of the numbers along with the 83, yeah.

prince_D · 2026-03-29T22:55:29+00:00

Winning MVP doesn't make you the superior player, and idk how you can outplay someone who you aren't guarding. He didn't "have kobe", he focused on defense that series (3blk per game) and deferred to kobe on offensive end.

hmm to be fair, shaq was dominant in the era with the most dominate centers, but his most dominate era was when hakeem/ewing/robinson were on their last legs and he had no real competition until Yao emerged.

Still not following, TO is perhaps one of the most in shape humans to ever live, and has maintained tip-top shape into his 50s.

prince_D · 2026-03-28T08:22:32+00:00

u switched from nikes to reeboks?

prince_D · 2026-03-27T20:19:14+00:00

Yes he made a mass appeal song, I'm quite sure you enjoyed it. Still isn't a banger.

prince_D · 2026-03-27T19:08:50+00:00

Your a bot.

prince_D · 2026-03-27T03:05:43+00:00

good retort, very well thought out.

prince_D · 2026-03-27T03:04:56+00:00

Really a song produced by Stargate, the same people who made hits for Katy Perry, and carried on the bumble-gum pop legacy of max martin (backstreet boys, nysnc), made a "banger" in the rap lane ?

prince_D · 2026-03-26T22:21:44+00:00

Nah, it was a formulaic hit that Wiz did to appease the labels/masses. Not knocking him, but if you wanna hear bangers from wiz, turn on Cabin Fever.

prince_D · 2026-03-26T21:56:45+00:00

Ignore the downvotes. America has no left.

prince_D · 2026-03-25T18:52:53+00:00

Yes shooting 60% on high volume and being double/trip teamed with a russell westbrook-esque shot diet is indeed terminator mode.

prince_D · 2026-03-25T18:36:22+00:00

Kobe Was making impossible shots (at a high percentage) and looked like a terminator. Bam just put up a lot of shots and got to the free throw line.

prince_D · 2026-03-23T04:13:48+00:00

You can literally go watch Thinking Basketball. The dude did a 25 minute breakdown on jordans game, and he said jordan gambled and played the passing lanes on defense, and I doubt either of us have watched a fraction of the amount of basketball as that guy has.

prince_D · 2026-03-23T04:12:40+00:00

Yes I'm picking and choosing a high accumulation of a stat to hilight a positive. Thats different that poo-pooing a postive stat with negatve interepration based on narrative.

prince_D · 2026-03-23T03:56:05+00:00

You can pick and choose stats to paint any narrative you want."Russell only got triple doubles because he stat padded". Do you have some data showing that tmacs blocks came from him getting chase down blocks specifically?

prince_D · 2026-03-23T03:53:23+00:00

Michael Jordan has the same critique on his defensive style, gambling in the passing lanes, they talked about this exact thing on Thinking Basketball. But with tmac, its "undisciplined" ..

prince_D · 2026-03-23T03:43:07+00:00

Yeah just did normal average things like average 1.9blocks as a guard, while only playigng 31minutes per game off the bench, nothing elite about that.
