It's positionless now, but Giannis for sure.

Gotcha, I thought he’s missed too many games

He can't miss many more, but as long as he players something like 18/22 over the last stretch, he'll be eligible.

If Jokic got the same whistle that Lebron wants Lebron has no chance at MVP

This is a pointless thread, as Robert Horry is literally an employee of the Lakers.

This is the equivalent of posting Michael Cage(ex NBA player and current commentator for the Thunder) takes on here. According to him, Shai gets fouled like 20 times a game and he doesn't get enough calls.

Jokic and SGA are in a tier of their own in the MVP race.

If people are being honest, Tatum definitely has not been better than LeBron this season.


What do you mean besides Tatum?

Lebron is better than Tatum this year.

You badly need a new color commentator, Cage is so bad. It's one thing to be a homer, that's normal for local feed commentator, but he is both too much of a homer and also just never says anything insightlul and repeats the same few jokes over and over again.

Thank god another former nba player has a wild take for us to discuss. Kendrick Perkins was getting too much attention.

SGA plays a certain way to get all those calls, Lebron doesn't play that way, so the comparison is useless
