Nah the only players on the tough shotmaking of Kobe Ive seen are Hakeem, Dirk and Kyrie

Booker is the closest thing we have to Kobe right now. And he is two levels lower. That tells a lot.
But Booker is emerging from Season to Season

Curry? Dame?


they don't have the variety. for that reason i think dirk and hakeem arent same tier either. kyrie and kobe attempt stuff no one else can even try.
screw these absolute garbage refs

A healthy Payne is probably a better starting PG for this team than Chris Paul. He really pushes the pace and can attack the defence before they setup.


I agree. Not a great shooter but he has an urgency CP3 doesn't

I understand why PHO gave Ayton 30M+ a year but god they can't possibly have enjoyed it. Ayton is so soft he can't even dunk on MPJ.

Durant is completely unguardable when they call a tight game.

All Denver has to do is tay within striking distance.

Booker/KD will tire out by the 4th. This offense is not sustainable.
