Zion and SGA are out of sight out of mind but both are right there. Zion near the top.

I take SGA over Trae, even right now in the midst of Trae having some playoff moments.

I'm taking Zion over all those guys, without thinking twice. His trajectory is on Jordan/Lebron tier, if he stays healthy.

This is funny at first - of course Durant is the player that has a bodyguard rush the floor and assault another player during a tense moment.

But thinking about it after the initial stupidity/hilarity/ridiculousness of the whole thing, it's actually a really bad/f*cked up situation. A player's personal bodyguard, who is technically an employee of the team, rushed the court and got involved in a physical altercation. They're pressing charges on fans who don't belong on the floor simply for entering the playing space. This is like 10 levels worse.

I'm curious to see how the league handles this. At the very minimum the bodyguard is fired and banned from NBA games for life, I'd think.

Adam Silver has no control, he needs to be fired.

Bucks FO sure are quite demanding when it comes to end-results.
I mean, if Budenholzer gets canned, is there somebody else better to replace him with?

D'antoni?
Stotts?
Clifford?

For a guy that runs your entire offense, from ball movement and assists, to rebounding, tipping and giving second chances to scoring the damn ball from distance and in paint and you expect him to guard the opponent's point guard? One of the best in the league?

Nah, the racist american media will now find a way to blame Jokic for virtually carrying G-league team to second round on his own, beating a well oiled machine(supposedly) in Portland along the way. Meanwhile Dame is with his crime partner for 7 years, same coach, no pressure, ads and commercials, good reputation... just watch now, they will rip the Joker apart for not being able to beat one of the best teams in the league with Campazzo, sophomore injure MPJ, bang average Gordon and Austin the unemployed Rivers. God damn, yeah, Jokic fault he didn't block CP3 here.

Dame is a victim for playing with healthy teammates, 8 years with CJ, 8 years with the coach, 4 years with Nurkic, but Jokic is carrying Campazzo, Austin, Gordon and MPJ and he is guilty. :lol:

I find it absolutely hysterical that everyone is always saying this is the greatest level of talent that the NBA has ever had, while at the same time always blaming G-Leaguer teammates for every star that loses.

Lebron lost in the first round? He's playing with G-Leaguers.
Doncic lost in the first round? He's carrying G-Leaguers.
Jokic getting swept? He's got G-Leaguers.

Kantavius Caldwell Pope - lottery pick
Dennis Schroder - first round pick
Markief Morris - lottery pick
Andre Drummond - lottery pick
Ben McLemore - lottery pick

Tim Hardaway Jr - first round pick
Kristaps Porzingis - top 4 pick
Trey Burke - lottery pick
Willie Caulie Stein - lottery pick
Josh Green - first round pick

Michael Porter Jr - lottery pick
Aaron Gordon - lottery pick
Austin Rivers - lottery pick
Javale McGee - first round pick

Adam Silver really needs to crack down, and find out how all these G-Leaguers are making it to the NBA.

He obviously has to contest there no matter who he is. You're pathetic for making this a question of race, wtf man...
