If you finish 3rd place MVP you have an argument for top 3, if you have one of the best game 7s ever and a half decade of ECFs you’re probably pretty good and too many people rate Booker comfortably out of the top 10 because of his early career lack of any team success.
The Jeff Teague podcast clip of him talking about Demar/PJ Tucker being so heated about some shit like this a decade ago is wild to see now that there’s been no growth even when there actually is reason to jack up points in blowouts with the tournament. I don’t think this is about firing the team up it’s just Demar being a sore loser.
The sass before the splash, Luka absolutely cooked these 2
Buddy Hield = Allan Houston
I don’t think people understand that he’s younger because Mikal seems so fresh where JB has been in the ECF for like a decade straight
Relying on Wiggins to be the #2 is what got Minny in the spot they were in and is not a recipe for success, it’s nice when he comes up big against the Mavs but that can’t be a plan going into the season.
