At best is being a little dismissive but he's definitely not a 1 which is what they're basically saying by turning those picks down

Is it really a little dismissive though? He's most certainly not a one. We all agree on that. But I don't think he could be your 2nd best player either. For example, if it were Embiid and Bridges, I don't think I'd pick the Sixers to win. But Embiid/Maxey/Bridges? For sure. Same thing with OKC. If it were just him and Shai, nah. But Shai/Chet/Bridges? For sure. He'd have to have a certain kind of superstar next to him, like Prime Lebron or maybe Giannis, before I'd say I'm comfortable with a team winning a championship if Bridges was my 2nd best player.

PatBev better quit while he's behind. JJ is gonna keep easily roasting him until there's nothing but ashes

Big time article

The Paul George trade, OKC's rise and the blockbuster that keeps on giving

The Paul George trade to the Clippers in 2019 sent shockwaves through the league and two of its franchises. Nearly five years later, one of those teams is still reaping the rewards.

LeBron out tomorrow

Maybe resting and not playing in the all star game could have prevented that

I guess but he cares about the fans unlike others so he got a first half run in and don’t think he played the 2nd half. Man of the people

No one expended a lick of energy in that game though

Listening to a national writer on radio earlier talking about the all star game. He said Silver pulled out all the stops trying to get the guys to compete. Sent Byrd and Irving to the locker rooms talking about playing hard. He said the players basically sent a message that the only thing that would motivate them is money. He likened it to a sit down strike of sorts.

Asking players to treat the AS game like a regular game is pretty crazy which is what he indirectly asked for

Gotta be some middle ground between regular game and what they did Sunday. ASGs never had much defense but this was literally taking turns doing dunks and layups and uncontested 3s the whole time. I don't care much either way but it's not crazy to ask for at least some effort.

Just not that serious. Baseball is the only All Star game that can be played close to a regular game. I know much don't care about hockey but their AS game is played similiar to basketball then they made changes to the format. Didn't tell players to play harder

3rd at best would be the debatable point

solidly 3rd you would be good imo

Yeah and the NFL went to flag football. Maybe time to scrap the game and do skills stuff only...one on ones maybe for a bit, who knows
