SI’s Chris Mannix Snubs Luka Dončić from Top 4 MVP Candidates, Calls His Defense ‘One of the Worst in the League’ "I’ve got Luca Dončić in my second tier. Now, I know there’s going to be some criticism about Luka being on the second tier—he’s been outstanding offensively—I just can’t get past the defensive numbers for Luca Dončić. The defensive numbers have just been they’ve been bad. I want to read some of this: Luka has an individual defensive rating this year of 115.6. That would rank 119th among the 180 players with 25-plus starts this season. So he has been, in any measurable statistic, one of the worst defensive players in the league. And when the competition is this close, I’ve got to factor that in. I’ve got to include what you’re bringing to the table defensively. He’s the best offensive player in the game, the best offensive weapon in the game, but defensively he’s coming up short. My first tier is the group of players that we’ve been talking about: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić, Jaylen Brown. Those four guys are in my first tier and those are the four guys that I am considering casting my MVP vote for." (Via @SInow )




🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”


@KBknowsball Except he's literally not better. His team is 7 points worse with him on the court defensively while Jokic's is 2 points better with him. The rebounds, deflections, event stats all factor Jokić as better. 2 people can be bad. One can be worse. Jokić is neutral. Ant is bad.

Cameron Boozer is the best freshman in college basketball — and the best player in college basketball — and he should absolutely be the number one pick.



Victor Wembanyama’s full comments today on the shooting of another civilian by federal agents in Minneapolis: “PR has tried, but I'm not going to sit here and give some politcally correct [answer]. Every day I see the news and I'm horrified. I think it's crazy that some people might make it seem like or make it sound like it's acceptable, like the murder of civilians is acceptable. I read the news and sometimes I'm asking very deep questions about my own life. I'm concious also saying everything that's on my mind will have a cost that's too great for me right now, so I'd rather not get into too many details. It's terrible. I know I'm a foreigner, but I live in this counrtry and I am concerned.” (Questions via @tom_orsborn, @mikefinger, video via @HectorLedesmaTV)
