r/nba will blame Victor’s point guard for this play though. Also apparently Pop is specifically designing plays for Wemby to miss and wants him to have a bad rookie season to get a higher draft pick. Too bad for Wemby. If it wasn’t for his team mates and coach he would have made that shot.
Fultz has to be #1 here.
The Bulls were 61-21 in 1991 and 65-17 in 1992. They coasted in 1993.
Duncan win more rings and overall stats higher
Both of these are blatantly false. Lmao
Mutumbo was the better shot blocker. Alonzo Mourning was better at every other aspect of basketball and the better overall player.
90s all star who played for the San Antonio Spurs and wore number 21.
Dominique Wilkins
LeBron’s rookie season wasn’t that good. Melo probably should have been ROTY
Bronny isn’t a good enough prospect for any other team to want to draft him. If he was a A-tier, can’t miss prospect this would be an interesting question. But it’s likely he goes undrafted this year if he was anyone else’s son. So don’t think it will be an issue for Lakers to acquire him.
And no, despite what the children on here think, no team or GM is going to draft Bronny for the purpose of trying to acquire a 40 year old lebron on the verge of retirement.
RemindMe! 6 months can’t wait to dunk on OP for being an idiot with this post when the normal reversion to average happens and the Timberwolves aren’t in fact the greatest defensive team of all time lol
He’s a lot better af basketball
Kevin Martin was the first name that came to mind and also a perfect example of why stats with no context/eye test is useless.
He was a bad defender, playmaker, low bball iq. Had a good jump shot and got a lot of free throws so his TS% was high. But definitely a worse player than his stats indicated.
Kevin Love was getting a lot of hype among bball nerds based on his impact as a rookie. Getting like 13/10 in 15 mins consistently.
If 15 points terrifies you, you should see what Blake Grifin did his rookie season.
Raptors for sure
Tim Duncan was always a below average athlete for the NBA and rarely played above the rim even as a rookie. Just another myth about Duncan that gets repeated on here.
Booker is easily a better defender than Lebron who may be the worst starting defender in the league.
Booker is far better than 38 year old lebron in basically every way.
Bulls don’t win 6 rings without him, but the Bulls also would have won 6 rings if you give MJ any other 90s all star instead of Pippen.
If you swap Pippen in Chicago with Alonzo Mourning in Charlotte for example. The Bulls probably still win 6 chips and the Pippen-led Hornets never make it out of the first round.
Yeah in 2005/2006 Elton Brand finished above Tim Duncan in MVP voting, All NBA, and stats (25/10 on 58% TS v. 19/11 on 52% TS)
Spurs fans still cry that Marcus Camby won DPOY over Duncan because he led the league in blocks by a wide margin. Despite Duncan being on a better ranked team.
Now, forget team performance and DRTG and empty stats are all that matters. Because my fav player is Wemby. Lmao
