just the most impressive teenager since lebron, can basically do everything, what’s not to love
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:30 (five years ago) link
its the thing abt being the best teen since lebron its just obvs not true, i cant stand for it
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:34 (five years ago) link
can u name a better 1
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:35 (five years ago) link
like in real life teens are usually bad
ant davis obvs for one just real super clear

yeah otm zion too
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:37 (five years ago) link
hes prob not even still the best by whatever bs stat was cooked up anymore tbh that was when he was on a heater at the beginning of the year
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:40 (five years ago) link
best teen since lebron was bieber
― Clay, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:50 (five years ago) link
i mean not at basketball but he was the #1 teen you cant deny it
― Clay, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:51 (five years ago) link
bieber is going to be a dad can u believe it feel like hes grown so much been on a major journey
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:52 (five years ago) link
still hes a teen in my heart
― Clay, Thursday, 4 April 2019 03:53 (five years ago) link
yeah ok, his comps are lebron james and anthony davis, please forgive me
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 04:45 (five years ago) link
throw kyrie in there too
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 04:46 (five years ago) link
just some guys lol
theyre not really comps tho is the thing the stats are obvs not consistent across that era, like potential mvp candidate is super high praise and its good enough for what hes done but hes not in the same league as a prospect as bron and davis were, and like best teen isnt really that meaningful of a thing even if it were true
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 06:04 (five years ago) link
and tough shot maker w not much defensive upside isnt that easy of a way to make a living in the nba
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 06:06 (five years ago) link
i mean thats like kyrie which seems like a much better comparison than guys who are just beasts in the nba, and kyrie kinda hangs around the edges of the mvp conversation

Hmm I wonder what would happen to this already good player if that improved
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 4 April 2019 20:05 (five years ago) link
Maybe you’re right, man. But it’s a pretty contrarian view at this point. When is he going to stop exceeding expectations

A player's 3pt. % is the one statistic we should all focus on when evaluating them. This has been proved by science.

― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 21:09 (five years ago) link
guy takes tough shots that are hard to make at a high rate, doesnt even take science to understand that the step back 3 is a tough way to get points, now the dunk on the other hand is very good
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 21:11 (five years ago) link
i mean consider for a second how his future looks if hes not that good of a shooter, which he has not been for his career
― lag∞n, Thursday, 4 April 2019 21:13 (five years ago) link
he's never had to shoot at this distance before and he's shooting a perfectly acceptable rate for a teenager who takes ridiculously tough shots
― k3vin k., Thursday, 4 April 2019 21:16 (five years ago) link
I mean playing devil's advocate is fine but the guy is going to dominate it's v obvious

saw gobert play in person last night and it's crazy how good he is at defense, think he had 5 blocks but at least 5-10 more times where dudes didnt even try to get a shot off in there just dribble through the key and kicked it out.

The Bucks reached 60 wins yesterday with a few games yet to play. My hot take is that probably will give Giannis the definite edge in MVP voting. If Harden hadn't won his first MVP already it would be hard to deny him this time, but he's got one on the shelf, so this season Giannis will get his.

"James Harden has no weaknesses on offense. He could thrive within any ecosystem. He is the best offensive player in the league." im sorry but this is dumb
