Watch his skills being able to handle not be used smh

I really think Prince, Allen and LeVert will be shopped around this off-season. Kyrie said obvious.


Kyrie praised Allen and named levert in that iinterview that everyone blew out of proportion.

"jarret is great, he was great tonight" He also listed levert as part of the name he rambled off.

I'm not ready to declare the center position dead when you have beasts like Embiid and Jokic still in the game.

As much as I am intrigued at how the Rockets are winning with positionless basketball, the playoffs will be the real test to see if a team that is playing all guards and wings can withstand teams playing with bigs when things grind down into half court sets where rebounding and rim protection will be critical

The center position is endangered, not extinct just yet. Even though Embiid and Jokic is still dominating, they haven't won yet. Big guys have not been the focal point on winning teams since the 00s. And I don't see Embiid or Jokic winning a chip or leading their teams to the finals.

It is very intriguing what the Rockets have been doing . You are correct the playoffs is the real test. I still stand by my statement, if Rockets go deep with position-less ball, this will change the whole dynamic of the NBA. But, you also have to account for how much of a beast Westbrook is. He will bang it out with centers and he's proved he can average over 10 rebounds. I think he's a big part of why the Rockets did what they did and he has been playing great since then. Hats off to Rockets GM though, I love big risk takers.


it is hard (impossible?) to do what the rockets do when you dont have Harden. How many guys can give you 38 points and 15 FTs a night? space is great when you have one of the 5 best scorers of all time to take advantage of it(let alone someone so durable who can play 35+ minutes). otherwise, your having major scoring droughts.

Talented players like Biid, Joker, Gasol and few others will always be in demand. I'm talking about those rim running one's.

Levert has missed 3 game winners and turned it over ona game winner and got stuffed on a game tying bucket before princes attemp

replay also shows prince was fouled

every single metric shows prince better than levert this year. and a better shooter
