Amen in response:

“Tell J-Dub first he gotta run point on offense, then run downcourt to guard Wemby on defense, in the same game before he can qualify for most versatile.”

Spoiler:

J Dub Looks at his Season stats.... that show the versatility night in and night out...Then Looks at Amen's. And truly questions who is the most versatile....

There’s only one person to blame, for me not being able to top that argument:

Gotta say this before we commence season 8- If it's the last we've seen of Smash I just wanna say he was one of the most competitive/ tough to beat GMs I've played against. Always put a winning team on the floor, and made some of the biggest Bish Bombs happen that I'd ever seen. Smash was the King of the Big 3. He knew how to pull off moves that left us all in awe. It got to the point where we were no longer surprised- It was just "Smash being Smash." You have certain GMs who push and challenge you to step ya' game up, and for years he was one of them. Thank you to a top 3 all time winningest GM ever. He's definitely got my vote for the BaF HoF.

Elite GM. Had my first finals against him and pretty much every game was close. Amazing GM that always knew how to get so much talent that fit together on every roster he’s built. Hope everything is well with him.

Yeah hoping when the season starts more BAF in season talk and if someone is going to post IRL tweets keep it to spoilers so the page just isn't all tweets. Tough to load sometimes for people on phones.
