I doubt the Lakers retire ADs unless they win another ring or he carries the franchise post LeBron. Pels definitely aren’t retiring it.

I’ll eat an entire wheel of cheese to honor the Packers if they pull this out

People have Pedo Malone in their top 20 so I don’t see why Harden can’t be around there. He’s basically the Malone of our generational. Legendary regular season player who came up short in the playoffs and would have a ring if it weren’t for the GOAT team peaking at the same time as him.

Personally I have Harden top 25 all time

Anyone know the song playing in that obliterated trailer?

Harbaugh when he can challenge two clearly off spots: I sleep

Harbaugh when eh can challenge a clear backwards pass: real shit

We’ve gotten fucked with multiple spots and Harbaugh refuses to challenge

Embiid is definitely one of the best regular season scorers of all time

Isaac and Franz match up very well vs Tatum defensively

West: Luka, Shai, Steph, Ant, Fox

East: Trae, Lamelo, Mitchell, Maxey, Hali,

Chiefs have a cakewalk schedule so they’re probably still getting the #1 seed but at least we got a shot now lol

“Inefficiency” might sound like an analytics buzzword, but it matters a great deal. Cunningham’s true shooting percentage means he’s scored 50 fewer points than expected this season given his volume, per Basketball-Reference, which is the second-worst figure leaguewide. For reference, Nikola Jokic has 41 more points than expected—meaning Cunningham has cost the Pistons more points with his shooting than Jokic has added to the Nuggets.

Genuinely insane stat lol

Hali dropped from 3 to 7 because of his bad game last night. Too early in the season to care about this when it swings so hard on a game to game basis IMO

OP a lot of people here are giving you sarcastic answers but I don’t think your question is a bad one. The true answer is two fold. First of all not every 7 footer is as nimble and fluid as Wemby and Chet. Jonas Valanciunas could practice his entire life but he won’t be able to make Euro step dunks like Wemby. He’s just not athletic enough. Secondly, when these big guys are young they can dominate just because of their size and athleticism. So their high school and AAU coaches specifically tell them to only dunk and rebound and block shots because that’s whats best for the team.

Guys built like Wemby and Chet physically are extremely rare, and even then guys who work hard enough AND are lucky enough to be in an environment that fosters their growth is basically a one in a million chance

WHAT IS KLAY DOING LMAOOO

holy fuck

Luka choked

JB was like one of 6 players who randomly slipped tonight. I thought they said these courts were the same as the regular ones?

Playing against a set halfcourt defense is harder than playing in transition

Peak basketball tbh

10/20 from 2 = 50% FG, but 20 points

10/20 from 3 = 50% FG, but 30 points

This is why FG% is not a good stat. It doesn’t take into account the difference in value between 2s and 3s (and FTs). The FG% is the same yet scenario 2 is giving you 50% more points.

TS% = points/(2 * (FGA + .44 * FTA)))

This basically tries to account for the different values that each way to score provides. Scenario 1 has a 50% TS. Scenario 2 has a 75% TS. Huge difference despite the FG% being the same.
