Get rid of camps. Bring back playing pickup outside during the summer for development.

All these kids have no dog in them.

I’d care more if Nike actually dropped Kobe’s for the consumer or opened up a pre-order.

Giving pairs away to D1 athletes does nothing for me.

 

[g-time]

They can keep creating grinch 6s for teams but I could never get a pair at retail and refuse to pay the $500-600 m+ resale in my size lol. If they can keep producing them, make a preorder Nike.

Hawks fans here aint gonna like this one

Cause it’s not true I don’t see how anyone looks at this roster and says it’s one of the deepest most talented in the league Murray Trae and Capela are good the rest is dudes who’s names we know but aren’t anywhere near as good night to night as their perception

 

[Moheezy]

Wow this really puts into perspective the difference 5% or 6% makes.

If jokic had a bad game yesterday this thread would easily be 5 pages longer.

If Joker doesn’t win a ring this year after all the slurping he gets that’s embarrassing. Never seen a player so hyped for regular season stats. He’s a turnstile on defense.

Lmao. He just gave the probable DPOY 30/11/6 with a +19 and nobody even cares anymore. Y’all won already.

JJJ is DPOY. Nobody ever said Jokic wasn't a good offensive player

 

[Mark Antony]

Every other month Jeff Green pops up to do some **** that doesn't make sense.

I’d take AD & JJJ both over Lopez but I think Lopez is going to win based on minutes and games.

Lopez gets to play with Giannis & Jrue, so his “ask” is way less than AD/JJJ, but I think they’ve both missed too many games to win.

It’s interesting to me how every actual statistician has said single game +/- is a useless metric but the online crowd that “really cares about the analytics” continue to use it whenever possible to support their arguments.

China has completely caught up, if you really want them

Lmfao.

All i said was he went +19 last night against the probable DPOY and you typed this. You want some other stats?

31 points, 11 asssists on 50% from the field and 10/11 from the line. Only bad part of his game was going 1/6 from the three point line. He only had 3 turnovers.

This was one of the big games remaining on the nba calendar and it the Nuggets had lost, the slander cannons would’ve been firing heavy. But since he won its “single game plus minus is useless and you’re only using it to support your argument”.

I don’t give a **** who wins the mvp. I just wanted to give Jokic some credit and I find the discourse hilarious.

 

[moderndarwin]

As a NBA fan someone being a back to back to back MVP winner means they must be on that Jordan level of dominance out there (2 way). He simply gets cooked in the playoffs i’ve seen it time and time again. If the award was best offensive player i’d have no problem with him winning it but i simply don’t think he’s the most valuable player in the league. He’s great and amazing but Steph and Giannis still are better with tons of others that are equivalent to him. I give him tons of respect for actually playing though so it’s not a Jokic thing it’s more of a luck era sort of thing that there’s no other prime Lebron type guy in the league right now that puts up stats,
plays 2 way, and doesn’t get hurt.

In no way of version of basketball is Joker better or more impactful on a b-ball court than Shaq. So him getting 3 MVPs as a no defense center is more a sign that the top tier talent isn’t that great right now (mainly because none of them can seem to play a full season).

 

[amitt5504]

Every metric is useful or useless when it comes to an agenda

When the agenda calls for the single game +/-, it’ll be a useful metric

 

[sohi 23]

He’s not winning MVP anymore. That ship has sailed.

If he lost or played bad, the anti-Jokic posts would’ve been crazy today. I’m just showing love for yesterday’s game. Forget the metrics.

 

[tupac003]

Pat just be trolling

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

He'll probably smack the sixers too. 3rd game in 4 nights in the altitude. Scriptwriters knew what they were doing
