@BirdmanMarco @Nickthos You're right, but that actually makes the case the other way. Why didn't Giannis get MVP in 23 because he led the league in wins? Because context does matter. The Nuggets without Jokic are a play in team at best. Thunder without SGA are still a 50 win team.

@RedGiant17 @Nickthos Embiid even won more games then Jokic in 23 lmao. So it’s a moot point. But if we rely on PRA as the only thing to compare players then Harden and Westbrook were way better than Steph was. See how that works? You’re just ignoring so much context. Actually watch the games

Love watching people list off everything Jokic did this season, acknowledging leading in rebounds and assists (which is insane) while scoring 27.7 per game, then just say, “well, SGA has a nice jumper, give it to him.” He isn’t even the scoring leader. What are we doing here?

@BirdmanMarco @Nickthos Which was my original point. If leading the league in wins is the bar, why is it different now than in '23? PRA is the easiest way to compare players. How can you say a player is the best in the league if he isn't the best at anything they measure?

@RedGiant17 @Nickthos He only led the league in WINS. You know the actual most valuable part of the game. It’s clear you just refuse to accept Shai is an all time player. Your obsession with PRA while ignoring everything else is just sad

@BirdmanMarco @Nickthos SGA didn't lead the league in a single major stat this year. Jokic is the first player in league history to lead both Rebounds and Assists in the same season. The argument for SGA is a really good season, because others were statistically better. Joker was literally historic

@RedGiant17 @Nickthos When there’s 2 players playing at an all time level like we have with Jokic and Shai you bet your ass a 10 game advantage gives Shai an advantage

@BirdmanMarco @Nickthos Jokic had a better FG% THIS year. Because he plays guard it means more?

@RedGiant17 @Nickthos Only the most efficient guard season of all time. Fg% we’ve only seen from Jordan and Curry from a guard, lowest TO rate of any 30+ ppg of any player ever. Leading a team to 64 wins despite the team having the 2nd most games missed from injury.

@BirdmanMarco @Nickthos So he got shafted by not looking at records in '23, but now that it goes against Jokic we totally need to keep team records in mind? This isn't a gripe at you specifically, but what is the SGA case for MVP? Really good season on the best team?

@RedGiant17 @Nickthos 1. I agree Jokic got shafted in 2023 2. Notice in 2024 when okc only had a 1 game advantage Jokic still won it. But last year when there’s a 18 game difference and this year a 10 game difference SGA gets it. Winning matters

@BirdmanMarco @Nickthos Remember in 2023 when the Nuggets were the #1 seed in the West, and Philly was #3 in the East and everyone gave MVP to Embiid? Why is it different for SGA this year?

@Nickthos Win more games and maybe it’ll be an actual convo

@DRO34568 @byesline This is a perfect example of the SGA case for MVP. There's nothing of substance you can add for him, you can just knock how Joker's assists are counted

@RedGiant17 @byesline “Assists”😂 Half his ‘triple-double’ stats come from handoffs where his teammate takes 3-4 dribbles, yet Jokić gets the assist. If every era counted 4+ dribbles after a pass as an ‘assist,’ we’d have a plethora of fake triple-double merchants averaging 10+ ‘dimes.’

Nikola Jokic, from a mile away, becomes the first player in NBA history to lead the league in rebounds & assists. Plus a top-8 scorer. If every MVP voter had their memory wiped before this season (Men In Black style), Nikola Jokic would win in a landslide.

@DRO34568 @byesline He's not leading the league in scoring, or any major category. Jokic averaged a triple double 2 years in a row, only been done 2x in NBA history (Westbrook and Jokic) AND he's the 1st ever to lead in rebounds and assists in the same year. Historic vs "he was good on a good team"

@byesline No he wouldn’t 😂Shai is also having a historic season. 30 ppg for 3 straight years on 50%+ shooting? Also shooting a historic number from mid range and lastly plays on the best team. Not to mention Jokic is the biggest player on the floor and plays in a watered down big man era.

@byesline The SGA case for MVP has been, "He's just really good, ok?". Not leading any major statistical category and being the weak defensive link on a good team (same thing they hold against Jokic) makes his case weaker than anyone else

@PaulTassi This makes it feel like they want Cryo to unlock next reset. Give ranked this weekend, Cryo immediately after it turns off next

I know it'll get a little faster later tonight but this is nnnnot exactly moving quickly, not gonna lie

@GamehagEN @Pirat_Nation

@Pirat_Nation Makes sense. Do console players even play extraction shooters?

Paul Tassi confirms from his insiders that Marathon is played mostly on PC.

@PaulTassi @Forbes I said to my Destiny friends a couple weeks ago that the game is dead. Marathon needs to succeed so all resources are going there. The next update is going to be Age of Triumph where all raids get new armor, and all end game gets tiered weapons. Guerilla makes D3 in 2031

@PaulTassi You're way more plugged in than the rest of us, but what if they know the content from S&O will be short lived so having it come out right before Marathon isn't a concern? Ship this promised piece of content, give the new shiny thing the spotlight, then give a roadmap after a bit

It's exactly two weeks until Shadow and Order so yeah probably delay and/or roadmap time, right? Right? I don't know how we can expect anything other than enormous game structure changes past simple delays if it took this long to get here.

@ShockJocker @D2_Director Same. Not sure why they keep bringing cosmetic items back that were pursuit items when they released.

@D2_Director I liked having unique shaders from when you had to be there

@PaulTassi You're not wrong, but why he decided to share this message from his personal account at ~9:30pm on a Saturday is wild to me. I've done corporate social media work and understand all the red tape on approving posts, but this should come from a branded account just to spare him

It has always been misguided to target dmg for the info situation. It’s a much larger process across the studio to make and share plans. It’s not like he’s just refusing to hit a launch button or something. It’s rough he has to be essentially the singular face of this publicly

@kshvbgde I heard that diet Coke is the diet version of "New" Coke, and Zero is the diet version of Coke Classic. Probably why Zero is better.

I honestly do not know the difference between these two drinks, and I’m too afraid to ask at this point. I prefer coke zero btw

@aiiygatorz Paying for lighthouse runs is what killed the mode. Everyone that pays takes potential players out of the matchmaking pool. And the more it happens, the more casual players just stop playing completely. Why get your buddies on when you're matching top 1% players games 4-7?

I don’t do !generosity cards, but why do so many people hate that people do them? is there something I’m missing? because I don’t understand how it impacts me…

@PaulTassi @Forbes I think you're missing it, Paul. Episode 9 happened off screen you fool!

@JaguarGator9NFL Which was more worthy of PI, the call on Moss or this: x.com/i/status/20003…

Jim Nantz and Tony Romo are upset that pass interference was called on Riley Moss despite Moss holding Golden’s arm Not once was Gene Steratore, the actual rules analyst, ever involved or brought on to let people know whether or not it should’ve been PI The dynamic with the CBS 1 team makes no sense

@BastardNosal @DestinyTheGame So it's pay to win? That's disappointing, but seems right on the state of the game

Devrim Kay's first Call to Arms will end next Tuesday at the weekly reset. Assemble your fireteam, optimize your modifiers, and cross the finish line with a high score.
