Dang, why could this not have been CB Bucknor or some other loser ump. This guy was probably top 3 behind the plate. Just stupid.

Sabonis the 2nd-3rd best big in the league. I don’t care what anyone says.

My mans got robbed of an all star game.

He’s just a slightlyyyyyyyy worse Jokic

I agree he got robbed of the all star game.

Jokic
Giannis
Wemby
AD
KAT

Probably have all of them slightly ahead of him since they're all average at least 4 more PPG. Sabonis also doesn't have many steals or blocks compared to those guys. Although I'd say Sabonis being the 4th option in that Kings offense is a bigger reason he's not scoring more. At least in FGAs, he's behind Fox, DeRozan, & Monk.

AD did a pretty good job carrying the Lakers in 2020 to a championship. In 2019 they were a lottery team without AD. Then in 2020 they win the championship after adding him. He also led the team in almost every stat outside of assists and was overwhelmingly the best player on the team according to the advanced stats.

LeBron only outplayed him in the Finals against an overmatched Heat team which allowed him to steal the Finals MVP. But for the totality of that season and playoff run AD was the clear cut best player on that Lakers team according to every metric.

AD has 7 seasons without bron. 5 losing season, 1 sweep in the first round and 1 1-4 in round two. But congrats he wins game with bron. That’s really hard to do

I will admit in their head to head playoff matchups recently Jokic has dominated AD. But in terms of overall impact I would still prefer having an elite two way big like AD on my team than the defensive liability that is Jokic.

I think it's easier to build a championship team around AD than Jokic. I also think you can add AD to more teams and they instantly get better versus Jokic whose lack of defense would be problematic.

Jokic is 4th in the NBA in steals per game.

3rd in ppg.

2nd assists pg.

3rd rebounds pg.

Union jobs: where there any number of ways to get fired but job performance is not one of them.

Also that’s just completely and 100% wrong. Bron had a higher offrtg, lower defrtg, higher PIE. But congrats he averaged 1 more point per game, which earlier you said stats don’t matter to you

I think this might be the one for real that hits the limits we tried to set for Nico.

Definitely, although I believe Nico hits his ceiling next season. But Nico was all camp and 7 on 7 hype, HS ball never really translated, was understood he needed development. This kid has breezed through HS ball and won at everything he’s competed in. Also has a bigger frame and more running ability, this kid is Cam Newton.

There isn’t a single team in the NBA that would trade Jokic for AD. Not a single one. AD has zero MVPs. Joker has 3 out of the last 5. AD did absolutely nothing before he teamed with LeBron. Another one of your insane takes.

I’m with D4H on this one. Don’t see how Luka and LBJ coexist. There’s only one ball. On offense, they both want it. On defense, they both ignore it.

Makes no sense to me for the Lakers.

LeBron is eligible for social security and Luka’s 25.
They won’t be co existing for long.
