NIC "THE CLUB" CLAXTON is a PROLEM.

[Karate Diop]

Mans, I've been saying it for a while now... So if you didn't know, you better now know - because Nicolas Devir Claxton aka THE CLUB is a PROLEM for the rest of the league.

THE CLUB has emerged this season as one of the best in the league in virtually all facets of defense and has been catching bodies left and right on the other end of the court with his deceptive quickness, leaping ability, and craftiness around the basket.

I'm not a nerd so I'm not about to write a COD JAM report but check these spark notes and put some RESPEK on the man's name:

FG% - #1, 73.3%
BPG - #1, 2.7
Defensive Rating - #1, 106.4
Defensive Win shares - #5, 2.4

LOCKDOWN. You know what is is. THE CLUB don't care about your feelings (shoutout to Baby Biid).

So I had to vote no just to mess with you but Claxton has been really good. His defense and mobility are impressive!

I'm here for it, I'm part of THE CLUB.

I hate to admit this but I’m part of “THE CLUB” also.

He also looks like Dejounte Murray not sure if they’re related

The Club have it all.

Had flopper Embiid on lock !!!

[One Last Shot]

Sure.. in the regular season. He shot 18% from the line when the Celtics swept them in the 1st Round last Playoffs while shooting 46% in FT this year and when Ben Simmons, the other elite defender in the Nets shot 43% free-throws this year, now that's a problem because any decent coach will render them useless in a Playoffs Series especially in the late 4th quarter. It doesn't matter how good you are defensively when you're not even the game at all trying to avoid getting hack and brick those free-throws.

Embiid was down slightly on his season’s average with 26/10/3, but “on lock” is an exaggeration. He still had a superior statline on a winning team.

I like how you conveniently left out both player's FG%

Baby Biid is better than Claxton no doubt, but The Club held his own and then some tonight.

You left out the part where Embiid shot 6/18. Like I said that boy was on lock ! Refs gifting him 13 free throws because he's a flopping fish don't count. Oh and Claxton shot 10/11

Rule of thumb: once a player gets rid of the fancy haircut, his game steps up another level.

[threethehardway]

I am disappointed in offensive development, definitely thought he would be like Evan Mobley is now by now.

He should've been drafted in the first round if people paid attention to Georgia basketball like they do football. He was a great ball handler for his size, ran the offense from the high post, had good athleticism ,feet and basketball instincts.

Except Dennis Rodman?

I’m good with “respek” because it almost sounds right and is often used in this way, but sorry, “prolem” is just stupid. Sounds like a legal term. Should at the very least have two L’s.

Yes, readers of your posts are also familiar with the same phenomenon.

Y does this poser always give these terrible nicknames to Nets players?
