It's abundantly clear that there is only one good outcome for this NBA season, and that's Celtic's dropping the ball on conquest to a championship.

They are a neck above the field in the east and among the best this year-- which is great for basketball, as would be their fall. Playoffs should be fire this year

I rarely speak on these things because the final score never bothers me . The game can be high scoring or low scoring and can be trash. All I care about is high level competition. If a player score easily without resistance is equally as bad as a player missing wide open shots.

Some of my favorite games all-time are un the 90 scoring range

A left-handed hook from the FT line, you can hear Richard Jefferson say that he knew it was going in, as a former teammate of his he'd seen him take and make shots like that.

Kyries is amazing. His handle is so elite that any shot is possible. Any shot. Its art really.

If he doesn't get hurt, how many titles is he going to lead his team to? His size and skill won't be able to be stopped in a few years.

He’s insane, it makes me even more mad now that Bam didn’t win DPOY at minimum 1 out of the last 5 seasons because they’re probably going to name that award after Wemby when he’s retired.

He’ll be a top 10 player by next season, likely the best in 3-4.

I would’ve gladly tanked instead of making last seasons finals run to get him. Only thing that can stop him from being an all timer is injuries.

I won't go counting championships yet, Embiid himself is both unstoppable and generational-- Cousins and AD before him

I'll just continue to celebrate the fact that he's really good

Embiid isn't as skilled as Wimby is and Wimby will be nowhere near as strong as Embiid but this current ruleset for the NBA is custom made for Wimby with his size, agility and skill, strength isn't nearly as important as it once was (which is a shame).

In 2-3 years with Wimby getting use to how physical the NBA is, how he needs to adapt, and with his body maturing more; he's going to dominate. It's quite possible he ends up playing PF and lets a stronger player handle the centers, something OKC may have to do with Chet.

To me if your hand does not touch the rim it's a lay up I don't care how hard you throw it through the rim.

A very good episode and it's only episode one. I'm not exactly a LeBron fan but respect the hell out of his game and his basketball IQ. If you love the game of basketball. If you like the game of basketball I think this will be a fantastic podcast for you to listen to or watch.

It's not enough that the NBA is doing great financially but not only are they good with betting but they're putting it in their app?

Jalen Green is turning the fuxk up ever since he found out he’s having a baby. Good for him, I think he’ll be an all star level guy soon
