Shout out to the 30 teams that got it wrong... And the 10 teams that got it wrong... TWICE.

JOKIC IS THE MAN.

 

[dman14]

Jokic saying he needs to be back by Sunday cause his horses are racing. gonna hit up josh kroenke for the plane

 

[picasso swerve]

You think Embiid is better offensively???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

He is not. And his brand of game with the flopping and hitting the floor every other possession is terrible to watch.

JOKIC IT'S THE MAN.

Scouting needs to change.

The system is broken.

Shaq by a country mile. Joker would foul out on the first quarter against him.

Joker is 2-5 against Embiid and has worse stats by far head to head. Let’s not get carried away i’m super proud of him but he played some absolutely awful teams except the Suns. Not that there are really many good teams the only true contender is a healthy Bucks. Top level mediocrity aside hed get ragdolled by the playoff machine version of Shaq.

it's certainly not a "country mile"

with Jokic on the floor this has been the most efficient offense on record.
Jokic at his peak, it's certainly an argument.

Also Shaq also has to guard him.

Who is the goat offensive center?

Kareem, Shaq or Jokic?

Shaq with Kobe’s or MJ’s work ethic would’ve been the best player ever. I don’t think Shaq ever truly fulfilled his potential but still manage to be an all time great.

I’m leaning with Joker.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Chuck was right. Put some respek on his predictions

Where would you have him ranked regardless of position for offense?

 

[Coupé It]

Reggie Jackson and DeAndre.

I dunno it's hard to say. Id have to really think about it.

Center is an easier question just because there are only 3 plausible candidates imo.

Formula hasn’t changed in a while

The nuggets took 3 years to build.

One trade here (Gordon). One trade there (kcp). Slowly build. Make near perfect moves etc. oh and eventually have superstar play like a superstar and you have a chance.

Kudos to that management team (Tim Connelly hopefully gets a ring) and of course coach and the nuggets players.

Really inspired season and I hope the real rams of the nuggets enjoyed the season and playoff run. You remember these forever. (I still day dream of some of the laker runs)

they were brewing up for it for the last 3 years and were getting better. last year they were pretty competitive and just 1 or 2 pieces short of a championship.

Off topic: Certain reporters were saying “…the rules are changing…”

Could someone provide context? I know there’s a flopping rule which will be trialed in Summer League.

speaking of flopping rules, penalize players of 10 game suspension and $2,000,000 fine per offense. I'm pretty sure players will stop clowning around.

I understand what they were going for but

Seen the topic pop a few times on hoops discourse I listened to recently and they had him VERY high so it's interesting to see where people will place him when they have a chance to think about it.

I can't call it myself but the discussion is cool to listen to

Does Bones Hyland get a ring?

 

[elpablo21]

Does Bones Hyland get a ring?

Probably not since they don't like him

Yup up to the team. Feels most if not every time players are traded/waived they're offered the opportunity for for it

 

[Coupé It]

Giannis got one.

Jokic got one.

It’s just Embiid left now.
