Gordon Hayward says Bam Adebayo scoring 83 isn’t great for the league and doesn’t feel legitimate
“I think Bam is one of the best two-way players in the league at his position, but he’s not a scorer, right? So for him to break Kobe’s record, I don’t think it’s great for the league. I think it kind of highlights how they’re already struggling. It kind of feels like a pickup game when you’re watching. And for him to shoot 43 free throws and 22 threes, when that’s not what he does, it almost feels like… and again, the Wizards too. With all these teams tanking, it kind of makes it feel not legit, I guess, is what I would say.”

Jeff Teague on Rich Paul saying Michael Jordan wouldn’t average 40 today because players wouldn’t fall in line:
“I fu*k with Rich, but no we watch n****s fall in line every day. We see the Jazz fall in line with Keyonte George, we watch the Timberwolves fall in line with Anthony Edwards. Like, nah, if he was on the Chicago Bulls right now all them n****s would fall in line.”

@Travis_Cherry@NotJoshChapin@PaulHBar@FastbreakHoops5 Exactly. And didn’t ring chase. Just wanted to be the best by taking on the best after taking their licks from Detroit and the Knicks. And yep, the zen master knew exactly how to man manage MJ, and later the worm
It’s not even numbers. The Bulls were the biggest team in the world. And so many people ‘wanted to be like Mike.’ They never lost 3 games in a row even thought they were hunted. They won 6 finals - 2 x 3 peats and no game 7. Under the brightest of lights, Jordan always stood up. There’s no one like him - it’s not even close

A young (toxic) NBA fan said yesterday that Kyrie was better than Kevin Johnson before his injuries. KJ was dunking on great shot blockers and averaged 21.6pts 11.1ast from 1989-92 while being the main star his team and leading the team to offensive rating rankings of 2, em3, 3, 5. And only reason for the 5 is he missed 30
Games.
Even more exceptional was his playoff performances. He had series averaging:
30.7pts 13ast
27.9-9.4
26.7-9.3
24.4-9.2
23.3-12.8
22.3-15.7
22-11.2
21.8-11.3
20-11.4
etc
Look at Jordan’s defense here in the final seconds of a postseason game tied 2-2. Jordan prevents John Starks from shooting the ball then strips one of Charles Smiths layup attempts. 🐐
