Kevin Durant and Steph Curry are two of the best players ever, neither of them have been better than LeBron James for a second of their lives.

Most Career Rim FGA Defended in the Playoffs… ⬆️ Lower Rim FG% Allowed ➡️ More Rim FGA Defended What stands out?

Absolute JJ Redick masterclass. It felt like the Lakers knew Houston's offensive playbook better than the Rockets did.

Worse decision: KD leaving Golden State or Kawhi leaving Toronto?

It's hard to believe how bad the Rockets are at handling KD doubles. His ball-handling/decision-making under pressure has been really bad — but also, the spacing is so atrocious! Nobody even flashes to the ball on most possessions! They just stand there. They've seen it all game!

star creator / great playfinisher paradox: doing your job well means taking on the mental labor and creating a clean environment to maximize the finisher — who can then look like the better player because people reward outcomes over process, conversion over construction

I’m 2018, go look what LeBron shot vs Steph in that finals from attacking him…but people will sit here and 1. Call LeBron the goat and 2. Say Steph is a bad defender.

Curry winning a title was terrible for NBA Defense discourse cuz it falsely let people believe guard defense don’t matter
