As much as we complain about Ressler...Ishbia might be worse. Cause he believes he's the smartest man in the room.

Just a clip of Wembanyama scaring fully adult NBA players away from the rim over and over again.

I remember a decade ago when analytics experts told us that post ups were inefficient and no longer considered good basketball. An entire generation of American Big men were cast out because of it.

Now Jokic post ups are the most unstoppable play in the NBA.
In large part because 300 pound post defenders were essentially cast out of the NBA.

I think his ability to handle the ball and make passes from the post also adds to that versatility.

Jokic meditating on all the ridicule that will come his way if he loses in the 2nd Round of the playoffs a week after winning his third MVP award.

The TNT crew was one of the most genuine crews I have worked with. I gave those studios 14 years of my life. I'd hate to see them go.


I imagine this news, though unsurprising, is still a bitter pill to swallow.

Any thoughts you'd like to share?
