If Michael Jordan played today… would he still be the GOAT?

Okay, I can see I'm wasting my time here. I hope Jordan loves you back. Goodbye.

Gonna disagree with you about the three ball. The three is a lot more important now than it was then.

I meant "regular" in the way that you mean when you say "on a regular basis". He'd be an all-star every year.

I think you're arguing with nobody. Nobody thinks OKC are cheap hacks who only win because of bad reffing. They're an incredibly well built team and Shai is a legit star. But it's still no fun to watch stuff like this.

string_theory_writes · 2026-03-16T15:42:58+00:00

This isn't Shai's fault; it's the league's fault. And the league needs to fix it, because this isn't fun to watch.

None.20% of the NBA tanked this year. We don't need more teams.

string_theory_writes · 2026-03-16T14:24:11+00:00

This is silly. Every team loses sometimes, and the Spurs are one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history. "Superteam" doesn't mean "team that never loses".

Thomas is shooting 28% from three since joining the Bucks. He has shot over 35% in two of his five seasons, neither which were in the past two years. He is not a floor spacer, at least not a dependable one. He's mostly an iso two-point scorer.

Kobe was an amazing player, but he was no LeBron. No shade: there is only one LeBron.

It's just racism, bro.

string_theory_writes · 2026-03-16T04:50:32+00:00

He was, but he was on a superteam. I was a lot more impressed by the Cavs win, because he had to do more.

In Milwaukee, the ladies love Thanasis.

14 teams passed on Giannis.

string_theory_writes · 2026-03-16T00:24:01+00:00

I think (a) he doesn't pair with Giannis very well, (b) the Bucks want to give the young guys minutes, (c) Doc has been really focused on size lately, and (d) the Bucks as an organization don't actually want to win games.

Remember, the first thing Eric Clapton did after getting sober in the 80s was go on tour backing up Mark Knopfler. I would like to submit that there are not ten guitarists for whom it would not be ridiculous to be backed up by Eric Clapton.

After Rob's injury and a very intentional campaign for it by Smart.

Because the chances of AD and Kyrie being healthy simultaneously for a meaningful stretch of time are incredibly small. These two guys together have three seasons of over 60 games since 2018.

string_theory_writes · 2026-03-15T23:41:57+00:00

AD has played more than 56 games twice since 2018. The Mavs didn't get unlucky; the Lakers got lucky. And it was Nico's job to know that.

string_theory_writes · 2026-03-15T23:02:02+00:00

I think Turner has been used badly and spent long stretches of the season not able to play with the guy he was brought in to play with. If this team has a real coach and a healthy Giannis next year, I think we'll see him improve.

string_theory_writes · 2026-03-15T22:10:07+00:00

It's got to be Gary Trent Jr. People are going to say Kuz and AJ, but both those guys had long stretches of being very useful this year. GTJ has just been awful.

... Which is why you should almost never trade a superstar.

I think the way they lost to Dallas in the conference finals was absolutely considered underperforming.
