He has run point several times. Can’t shoot deep but can easily get the step on someone and pass out

they're going to rebound because they're the best in the league at it, 3 point shooting not so much

Because nobody is allowed to guard him. The refs have made sure of that.

Why the league stil allow hack-a-strategy? That's an intentional off the ball foul to me, should be two free throws plus the ball.

It is a revolting product. Smartphone gambling is a 24/7 casino in people's apartment. There is no way that ends well for most people who use that product.

I had the same thought, except Adams is one of the few people who could make Momoa look small.
