glad he won :)

41st pick

yeah cool shit!

is he the first ever second-rounder to win one?

willis reed

Taken from us too young: 2021 NBAwards predix / talk

gilbert arenas

he never won mvp

willis reid, right, but to be fair he wouldn't have been a second-rounder if there were more than 9 teams in the nba when he was drafted.

*reed

true. this feels way different for sure.

little known fact but lebron james was a 44th pick

None of the eight franchises remaining in the N.B.A. playoffs have won a championship since the league’s 16-team playoff format was instituted in 1983-84. Seventeen of the N.B.A.’s last 22 championships have been won by the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio, Golden State and Miami.

Only eight players left in the playoffs have won an N.B.A. championship ring, but none with their current team. Philadelphia’s Danny Green and Denver’s JaVale McGee have won three rings each. The Nets’ Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard and Rajon Rondo of the Los Angeles Clippers have two rings apiece. The Nets’ Kyrie Irving, Philadelphia’s Dwight Howard and the Clippers’ Serge Ibaka are one-time champions.

Never forget Nikola Jokic got drafted during a Taco Bell commercial

true but if we arbitrarily focus on the last 9 seasons including this one, there've been 7 different champs

thats better

player movement is Good

idk what this means

The first-place vote for Derrick Rose was a cumulative fan vote for the MVP award rather than a media member, league spokesman Tim Frank confirms.

Embiid makes moves sometimes that no 7 ft player should be able to make.

They just need to put Simmons on Young and leave him.

Basically, Sixers starters are blowing out the Hawks in the first two games and the Sixers bench is unplayable.

huerter doing things

the hawks are taking some body blows and hanging in there. impressive even if they lose this one.

hox

hawks are not afraid

I did not foresee Shake Milton coming on and sparking the team in the 2nd half.

sixers got a 20 point lead in 4 minutes

getting buried by shake milton, sometimes the playoffs just suck lol

random guy playoff games are pretty funny, kelly o crushing the wizards in game 7, the other team just has to be like "ok"

He was playing a lot (and great) early in the season, but seemed to lose his confidence after the ASB and wasn't getting many minutes lately.

Basically Maxey and Hill had taken his minutes.

dwayne wade making people play ridiculous games inside a large cube is not a thing i believe to be real

It’s real and it’s extremely fucking weird

hmm idk

i think it's normal

i would never make a plan to watch dwyane and his cube but i would be willing to stumble upon it. our schedules haven't lined up so far.

big game for big joel

I know stars up their minutes in the playoffs, but Joel doing that immediately after the torn meniscus feels like living on borrowed time.
