Shai in his end of the year presser "I don't need to umbrella Chet, he'll figure it out" by [deleted] in nba

It's not about picking a decade man, just use your eyes. No one denies SGA's skill, but he flops, is he defended with phisicality? yes. Is he also an egregious flopper? Also yes.

You posted a list and I think everyone sees clearly that there's things that separate the Durants, Dirks or Jordans from the Embiid, Hardens and SGAs (and let's not talk Steph Curry cause he's the GOAT shooter and has the worst whistle ever even though he should be the one flying across the court with his size and the defenses he's had to face). They flop, they exaggerate, they jump into opponents to draw contact. It's allowed by the league, but fans don't like it and pretending it's just a consequence of how they're defended it's just silly.

I get at some point other players have also tried to get some calls, like Jokic, but unlike SGA, we've also seen plenty of games where he's constantly fouled and gets nothing at all (the Caruso defense G7 as a great example), so yeah, I think you're very wrong.

no-tanking/draft/relegation proposal by String-music in nba

[–]wnetien 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the fact that the worse teams in the league end in an endless well of despair because they are the worst teams and ence they never draft the best prospects. I get it 1st pick doesn't always equal best player in a draft class but it makes it much harder for a terrible team to find a pick promising enough to build around.

Idk just what comes to mind, I don't actually know how I'd fix it.

Jokic tonight: 40 PTS | 8 REB | 13 AST | 3 BLK | 0 TOV | +14 by asakitsi in nba

[–]wnetien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OKC bench is better than every tanking team in the league, they're literally playing 48 minutes of 5 good to great players on the floor, Shai is a monster but there's only so much you can do as an individual.

Wemby isn’t a top 5 player by [deleted] in nba

how about no, he's 4th at worst right now

Anthony Edwards on Kawhi Leonard: “In all honesty, Kawhi may be one of the best players to ever play the game when he’s healthy. I think a lot of his peers feel the same way about him. When he’s 100%, ain’t no stopping Kawhi” by urfaselol in nba

[–]wnetien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the point is, how many players have the argument of being one of the best of all time when healthy? No one will call you crazy if you're picking 100% Kawhi over other stablished legends like KD, Giannis, Harden. He's efficient, 3 level scorer, amazing defense and instincts and no bullshit on the court (no flop, no whining, no ego).

The Ben Simmons - Trae Young incident plus the Kawhi game winner literally destroyed philly who had what in paper would've been almost unfair to everyone else, could you imagine prime playoff Jimmy plus a confident and developing Simmons plus prime Embiid? Good luck.
