Two things:

1. Fred McLeod died (John Michael is a great announcers in his own right, but no one really compared to Fred).

2. Austin Carr hasn’t been doing color commentary as much anymore. Additionally, he is not quite as sharp as he used to be, and although him and John get along well, Carr and Fred really had a great bond.

I think Herro is way too high.

Frauds. Where is Criag Porter Jr I humbly ask?

I’m honestly so glad I cashed out on the Rockets. While it will be slightly disappointing if they do end up winning, I don’t think my heart could take this game otherwise.

In terms of overall skill/production, I would order them:

​

Haliburton > Garland > Maxey > Young > Brunson

​

However in terms of current season play, I would unfortunately have to place Garland last, changing the order to:

​

Haliburton > Maxey > Young > Brunson > Garland

The Cavs’ have the best record in the NBA, and Darius Garland is a n all-NBA, fringe MVP candidate (like Shai was last season type of thing).

Check the Cavs’ subreddit.

That’s already Evan Mobley’s nickname. Along with Darius Garland being ‘Sleeve Nash’.

Give me the 40% all day. Imagine if you had to guard Giannis from three off ball. The Bucks’ offense would explode.

Well… prime is when a player is at their peak, so I think you are starting to answer your own question.

Grant Hill was hailed as MJ’s successor, and was one of the most popular athletes in his prime.

I would assume not, if for no other reason than that it would be an incredibly bad look for whatever team decided to try and pull some shit like that. In some ways, death is like a really long, permanent injury, and usually players contracts’ are fully guaranteed against injuries.
