MAGA Porter doesn't look even remotely fun to play with.

Harden and Bron kill me when they pound the rock then kick it last minute . They should just shoot it

Don’t wanna mess up that percentage

MPJ has 0 points while Joker and Murray combine for 58

As much as NBA has been trying to force feed Zion to viewers, I feel like his popularity hasn’t really caught on.

Going to new orleans might've hurt his popularity. His buzz was way bigger at Duke.

The fact is, players of today’s nba are more skilled and advanced than their predecessors. The game has advanced. Great players of any era will be great regardless. All numbers aren’t created equal...but the elite of the elite stand out for a reason.

you said it yourself, Elite of the Elite. but with regards to the normal/typical player, they are not any better than their older counterparts. the so-called numbers or excellent plays that we see are practically overrated since people back then don't salivate much on personal stats but rather team play and winning. I can't exactly recall certain old players celebrating amassing triple-doubles while his team continues to lose. there wasn't a cause for celebrating for such individual feat but rather find a way to win. if players have that kind of mentality in the past, they will get benched especially if they kept chucking up shots that miss a lot.

This is a lie.

I do agree with you, that the emphasis on ultimately WINNING has gone down over the past 5 years tho. Much more respect for putting up numbers, “carrying a team” (and losing)....than actually winning and playing winning basketball.

Lebron already had a sig by now.

LeBron was actually nice by this point.

I member when 50/40/90 was something to behold.
There's 8 guys doing it right now and one guy is almost at a 50/50/90 season. Just easy as hell to score and efficiently now.

Still early ...

Social media got people thinking the mindset of the player has changed tremendously.

wilt was more “check my stats” than anyone the history of ever

Thought porter would move into the starting lineup and be good for 20 a night. Denver is a 1 series win team in the playoffs.

Wilt spent Two seasons chasing an assist title but narratives.

This T-Wolves team shouldn't be this bad, but considering they owe their pick is only top 3 protected i guess there's gonna be a lot of long "recovery" periods this year.

Roster and coaching sucks.

The Wolves have like 3.5 good players, one of which is 19, and they play in the West. Why would they not be bad?

Playing against Denver is kinda like Philly. Jokic/Embiid are going to kill you, but if you play everybody else tough and don't suck offensively you should probably have a good chance of winning.

His team being trash doesn’t help. And I also feel like he hasn’t produced the kind of highlights people were hoping for.

People were hoping for a next level version of Blake’s 1st two years and it hasn’t happened.
