True....
Saw a suggestion for a name I had forgotten....Willie Cauley-Stein. He has been playing in the G-league. Athletic defender and rebounder, could do worse. He supposedly has been working on his 3 pt shot

Isn’t he in line for #. 3?

Not in my opinion. The only others to 3-peat as MVP were Wit, in '67 he led the 76ers over the Celtics and ended Boston's eight year title run. And when Larry Legend won his three he won two titles and went to the Finals all three seasons.

Jokic could do something for a second year in row that nobody had done (last season he had the 1st ever 2,000/1,000/500 season). He's on pace to finish the season averaging a trip-dub on 60% shooting.

But I'm still more impressed with Embiid's season. He's hit five game winning shots and has damn good numbers.

I have NEVER changed my narrative!

I have said all along that his IQ and his lack of maturity is what keeps him from being labeled a superstar.

And, I see him play every minute of every game that I watch. I’m very critical!

You have to admit there isn’t another superstar, all star , that plays the game as much or as hard as he does. He takes more risk than any other player in the league. And why is that? CONDITIONING!

He is a superstar to every Knick fan around the world cause he plays for his team every game, every play!

Is he MJ lebron curry? NO. But he can hang with all the other so called superstars of this league.


His play is mostly on the offensive end? Says who? You ? Knicks have one of the best D’s in the league , he’s on the court 35 plus minutes a game. If you think it’s all Robinson that is the reason , you’re nuttier than I think.

Knicks have a good team defense.

Randle is not a driver of that.

And no, he can’t.

What do you even mean takes more risk?

Because he drives sometimes?

You aren’t even making sense.

Dude, he’s on the court 35 plus mins a nite, lol and he’s not the driver of a team that plays good D? Ok

Robinson is supposed to their best D man and he’s lucky if he’s not in foul trouble 5 minutes of 1st Q

Clearly you don’t make any sense cause nobody spends more time on the court then Randle except maybe Brunson, who plays matador D.

What is it CLUELESS day today?

Can't you be normal? In another comment you said you've only seen Jokic play once yet ridiculed his game. How many total games have you watched this season? And be honest. These are legit questions. Do you only watch the Knicks? Because a lot of what you say seems to indicate that.

Do you mean minutes per game for just Knicks players or all players? If you mean all players Randle averages 35.93. That's good for 14th. Brunson averages 34.91, 26th. teamrankings-.com

Why are you calling people who know more than you clueless? Do you not realize that you’re dumber than a bag of hammers?

What is normal?

Yes, I saw jokic play for about 10 minutes and I saw him wobble up and down the court showing very little athleticism.

I get he’s got the numbers , but he ain’t got no ring.

As far as minutes played, any of those other players ahead of Randle or around him play all 73 games ?

I only watch Knick games , and not all of em, detrimental to one’s health. . I watch a few other games if they are of interest, but with this load mgmt , stars sittin on sidelines as spectators, what the point of watching?

The Knicks play harder than most and play pretty good team defense.

Julius Randle is not a plus defender. He never has been.

There were many years where the Warriors were the best defense in the NBA. Does that automatically mean that Curry is a great defender?

Easy answer is no.

Ummmm….

Right here.

You laughed at me for saying that he is not a key reason for their team being good defensively.

There you go.

That was easy.
