After silently judging as I scrolled through posts riddled with hot takes from 5 years ago I thought…
What are your hottest takes about how the NBA will look 5 years from now? (Go wild with your guesses, nobody will be judging you…)
My hot takes are
- Josh Giddy will be in the MVP race
- The Booklyn Nets will have either made or won the finals due to Bridges and Ben Simmons showing out
- LeBron will continue to refuse to retire, while still putting up 18/4/4. And will blame it on wanting to play with his wife’s uncles barbers daughters stepson 17 years from now.
Wasn’t Mark Eaton a bit of an Ironman for a 7’4 guy?
I have to imagine it’s because he naturally had some mass to him. Dude was 274 which sounds pretty reasonable and safe for a guy that height in a contact sport; not too heavy, not too skinny
But that extra weight puts so much more stress and pressure on the ankle and knee ligaments though, especially in a fast paced setting like that
According to Basketball Reference he only missed 9 games in his first 10 seasons, pretty good. He was also 0 for 2 from the 3pt line for his career.
