    Wembanyama might be the only one who can challenge MJ for GOAT

    I don't know that he'll be better than Holmgren. They're similar players. I liked the idea of the league being dominated by guards and permiter players for a while and I'd like to keep it that way

    HurricaneDij's Top 50 NBA Players List (Year 16)

    There was a time (not long ago) when Giannis was also considered a player who couldn't get it done in big spots, and his team couldn't win. So that's how fast it can change. That said, Giannis win or lose always had efficient numbers, like a lot of guys on the list, and that counts for quite a...

    HurricaneDij's Top 50 NBA Players List (Year 16)

    He hasn't won the title. And in some of those years, he's lost when he's had the better team. Eye test wise, he also hasn't been good when it counts. Being the best player on a goo team will take you pretty far.

    HurricaneDij's Top 50 NBA Players List (Year 16)

    I would go... 1) Jokic 2) Giannis 3) Doncic 4) Embiid 5) Durant (assumes healthy) 6) LeBron 7) Curry And then there's a dropoff. If Durant is in true form, he's higher.

    HurricaneDij's Top 50 NBA Players List (Year 16)

    Carmelo was more low to high post, but I agree rankings/value wise

    HurricaneDij's Top 50 NBA Players List (Year 16)

    I wasn't doing that. Doncic is more efficient in every way, at least numbers wise. But just in a basketball sense, he makes players around him better. Tatum, less so. A good comparison for Tatum is Kobe. The difference is ... all Kobe did was win and hit big shots. If Tatum wins a couple...

    The 2023-2024 NBA Season

    Certainly not those numbers. But with the way he plays, he's capable of sustaining LeBron prime type numbers. Mavs better get him help or they'll be saying goodbye...

    The 2023-2024 NBA Season

    Mavs are 3-0. Their depth chart is a joke Doncic's numbers through the first 3 games: 39 ppg, 11.7 rpg, 9.7 apg, 56% FG.

    HurricaneDij's Top 50 NBA Players List (Year 16)

    I understand why he's ranked high by everyone, but I just think Tatum is overrated. I mean, if he had a couple of titles, it would be a different story, but he's really primarily only a scorer and he doesn't win. He's an odd player to rank, but he's definitely not better than Doncic Bridges...

    James Harden Traded to the LA Clippers

    Is Harden the biggest p@ssy/baby in sports history?

    2023 offseason thread

    I think Milwaukee should have stuck with what they had. More is not always better in today's NBA. I think the Celtics OTOH should have broken up Brown and Tatum. Holiday helps a little, but if your best players are volume shooters, does it matter? Also, Miluawkee is a small market team...

    Both Shaq and Dr. J have Karl Malone in their top 10 all-time… Are they really that off base?

    I always thought Stockton made that team go. I think Barkley once said that Malone was the best player on the team, but Stockton was the most valuable player, which ... doesn't make sense really, but ... it does.

    Both Shaq and Dr. J have Karl Malone in their top 10 all-time… Are they really that off base?

    If Stockton was in San Antonio with Duncan, they'd have at least one more championship.

    Not that it's relevant but I think the odds of the Axis actually winning were like 50-1 Hitler and country by country. That would have been interesting

    2023 offseason thread

    The problem with that team is who plays the minutes and who sits? It's a juggernaut on paper totality wise, but some of those guys won't play much.

    Lillard is redundant. Durant would obviously help. He could be the game changer, if healthy. Still, I like the world's chances.

    You can send the Celtics and see them build a house of bricks... while Lithuania torches them for 55% 3-PT shooting.

    I don't think that Germany team has played together a bunch either. The Wagner brothers have, but so have the USA guys from Villanova. So, I don't think you can use that excuse.

    They have depth too if they want it, but play just like a USA team. No advantage when it comes to the European rules.
