Lebron at almost 39 with 21/8/5 no turnovers. He's still damn good.

Seems like giannis was 1 assist away on many occassions last year from a TD luke early in the 4th n yet coukd never get one.

I have no stats to back this up but I would assume Jokic has an INSANE amount more assisted two point field goals than Giannis and "shooters making shots" plays a lot less into his triple doubles than you want to believe.

Ok good point im just saying it waa like giannis was so close so close to having a ton more TDs but he could never get that 10th assist and i saw whst seems like 15 games or so where he had like 9 assists early in the 4th n passed away to open shootees only for thrm to miss shot after shot was so frustrating

Off the back of complaining about the Nuggets talking **** about them. He's an incredible talent but goes missing a lot for no damn reason at all.

Davis just completely no showed the 2nd half of a primetime matchup after talking spicy beforehand. But he’s gonna string together a couple great games and the Lakers media machine will go right back to firing up his MVP/DPOY campaign and claiming he’s better than Giannis.

Feel like people have overlooked the lack of depth for denver. Think already having to go with a playoof rotation and rely on reggie jackson is a bit problematic going forward.

Did Jokic legit cry during the ring ceremony? That's surprising to me, I know he loves ball deep down but he wanted to flee the country as soon as he won the championship :lol:

I think it was Ray Lewis who said that you pay him for Monday-Saturday because he'd do Sunday for free. I think Jokic has a similar mentality except its even more narrowly focused than Ray, he loves the game, his teammates and coaches but hates everything else.

That's probably a good way to put it...just wants to play without the extra attention. Clearly a great leader, and how could he not love the game?

First quarter overactions, I'm not mad that the Suns were able to pick up their god squad minimum salary players.

Giannis ended a game with 9 assists twice last year and 6 times the year before, twice in 20-21.

So the last three seasons total he's not at 15.

I was in a dark place in June and was pinning my hopes on us getting Chris Paul as our big off-season move.

I just wonder how long will it take before Chris Paul is traded to Portland for Brogdon and Williams. If GSW throw in a filler and of course some picks I think they fill their needs. Health is a big issue for Williams and Brogdon but it's an issue for Paul too.
