Shai comes off as cringy trying to sound deep, but the dude has ultra supreme confidence that we only see from the all-time greats and is dedicated to his craft, obvious to see.

They really lucked out with the Pacers getting to the final, and the drama of Haliburtons injury.

Wonder who they are filming this year already.

I'd like to see:
Wemby
Giannis
Brunson
Luka

Then a weird wildcard who might be having a tough season eg, Embiid with injuries, Westbrook barely scraping into a roster (and a weird, crappy one at that).

I didn't watch Season 1 but Season 2 is v good. I've watched 6 of 8. Gotten to know all the players well. Just gets deeper than podium interviews. Recommended!

This would only be a good watch if they chose to film players that didn't want to be on it.

Oh look it's Deandre Ayton DNPing because he only wanted to play basketball at home on ps5 that day. Wonder what he ordered on uber eats

The scene where they're celebrating SGA being on the cover of 2K and the dog humping the dude had me dying.

I thought they are all very interesting. Brown seems like an incredibly ambitious, smart dude. He seems to care a lot of what he do both inside and outside of basketball. I love the boxing angle as well.

Hali is just so likeable though. He is like that guy that everyone loves to have on the team.

BTW, anyone found it amusing nobody is willing to talk about the situation on the Nets? KD said he was hoping Harden would tell the truth. But a lot of people thought KD himself lied on Mind the Game when he was defending Nash.

Next season should be:

Jalen Brunson
Stephen Curry
Luka Doncic
Trae Young
Paolo Banchero
My lifetime better have a Knicks championship.

Speak for yourself, I was horrified to watch/learn about what his Mother went through.

It is an important story to tell imo, but to his credit he wasn't bitter or angry about the people who did it to his Mom's house, but also showing his mental resilience and resolve.

He is a deep thinker and not as self-absorbed or publicity seeking some other players and stars.

Maybe the closest thing we have to a nerd/thinking man in the NBA today and there is nothing wrong with that.

He is a different type of cat for sure, and I think that is a great thing and I am so proud Jaylen is a Celtic.

I am a quiet, thoughtful introspective person myself, and I prefer to hang out and have conversations with people like Jaylen Brown than say some of the more colourful and party going players out there.

I also really enjoyed seeing the human side to Kevin Duranrt, especially his love and respect for his Mother who sacrificed so much to make his pro dreams come true (like many mothers and parents of NBA players)

In fact I also really warmed to SGA, Harden and Haliburton as well, and enjoyed seeing bits of theory personalities and lives we don't see on court.

This is an excellent series that hopefully is nominated and wins some awards

True I guess I was just talking more on the basketball aspect. Hali and Shai had a whole finals run to follow up
