Shai needs to hire a new graphic designer.


I think it looks good, but SGA having a logo sounds weird. I get its probably for his shoe lineup and all, but players having logos still sounds pretty corny.


Maybe because it really isn't a thing in Europe even among the elite's in football.


I am below casual football head, so its not that, i dont think. If you said Mbappe has a logo, I would believe you for sure. But yeah, its rare, so sounds weird. But Kobe, Bron had logos for their shoes and all, so it makes sense.

I do understand what you mean, though Shai is the top guy for Converse, so it only makes sense. I even think Brenna Stewart has a logo now, her fourth signature shoe is coming out.

Again, irrational Westbrook hate. It's funny any one of his mistake gets magnified but in this game he goes 8/12 and is the second highest scorer on the team.

Wasn't Westbrook hate, rather an instance of Jokic overpassing. After this play he became super aggressive with his shot though so no complaints from me.

I mean, after the OKC Denver back to back went in Jokics favor, it was obvious how tonight was gonna go.

Literally predicted a 5 point win with +10 FT discrepancy for OKC. I was wrong XD


One thing that's clear this week, OKC certainly isnt winning a ring this year.


if your team attempts 63 three pointers, you can hardly complain about a FT discrepancy


But only 8 less points in the paint.

Why?

I remember people back in the day claiming Shaq wasn't impressive; they said anyone could be that good with his size.

Simply doesn't work that way. You have to be skilled and tough. Being functionally competent at that size is not as easy as you think.

You'd probably never sniff college ball even if you were 7 feet.


1 out of every 100 7fters on earth currently play in the NBA. Counting 7fters who used to play in the NBA and will eventually play in the NBA, it's the single factor most likely to grant you an NBA career...even if it alone isn't enough.

Brunson-Jokic PnRs would just be insane...
