SGA is Harden 2.0. So boring to watch.


But with far more effort on defense.

At his height the fact he has any handle is a plus to be fair...

That's fair, but I don't know how he can make a jump if you can't dump the ball to him and have him get you a bucket. Like another user said, he needs to be spoon-feed buckets, which isn't exactly off.


He's got all kinds of room to add on the defensive end! And just shooting. But sure.

Every Nembhard pass is hazardous. He has zero court vision.

Man, Jalen Williams specializes in 3rd quarter buzzer-beaters.

And I am left with nothing but an oath that gleams like a sword

This feels like a last second Hali buzzer beater game.

Jalen Williams is making so tough shots. He's been incredible for OKC. Finals MVP, imo, if OKC wins.

McConnell deserves better.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.
