@SamQuinnCBS Agree that generational gets overused but I think AD & KD were

They usually went wrong by calling the guy generational. There have only been two generational prospects this century. LeBron and Victor. If there was more than one of them per generation they wouldn’t be generational. It’s just a really overused word.

If someone calls a prospect generational, one of the greatest prospects ever, all that and has them 1 on their board and the player is a good player would go 1 in a redraft but nowhere near a generational player, did they get their eval right or wrong?

“NIL killed Cinderella” is really just nostalgia for a system where players couldn’t get paid and had no mobility.
Of course mid-major stars stayed put back then… they had no choice.
Now they do… and suddenly March Madness is “ruined”? It’s far more nuanced than that.

Antawn Jamison was the last UNC player to make an All-Star team. Drafted in 98, last game was in 08
Blake@blakekcmo
Another factor we don’t talk about much, but has played a huge part: UNC’s inability to produce the kind of NBA players they did in decades past has greatly impacted recruiting. The Coach Ks, Scheyers, & Caliparis of the world have used that against UNC, as they should.

Holy trinity of stan culture, contrarianism and engagement baiting has made discourse on so many things unbearable

Problem is that a lot of people don’t enjoy sports or the athletes. They’re watching to start or win arguments against a bunch of other losers. That’s why everything has to be extreme. Everyone’s overrated. They can’t even discuss players they like without putting another down.

This isn't even just about sports anymore.
We are seeing this behaviour with every medium right now....be it movies, tv shows, music, etc

@jeff_on_sports @MichaelRedd_ To be fair I think saying he has the lowest floor of the top 5-6 guys in a loaded draft is different from saying he’s a low floor prospect period.
English
@MichaelRedd_ I don’t believe any prospect with a clearly defined great NBA trait is a low floor prospect. I’d agree more with the “lower ceiling” criticisms given Acuff’s defense and the history of small guards leading championship teams
English
Don’t think this is a hot take anymore, but:
Acuff has the lowest floor of any of the top draft prospects. He also potentially has the highest offensive ceiling.
If I’m a GM secure in my job, I think about taking him 2-3. If I’m not secure, I understand taking the high floor guys.
Either way, excited we get to watch him at least one more time. (And disappointed that we don’t get to see AJ.)
Frankie Vision@Frankie_Vision
Darius Acuff Jr. today vs Highpoint.. 36 PTS (11/22 FG, 3/6 3PT, 11/13 FT) 1 REB 6 AST 1 STL I’m done arguing with yall. We done with the “best cal guard” talks. BEST CAL PLAYER EVER.. 4 more wins and yall won’t be able to deny him !! A NBA team is gonna be very happy in the next few months..

People put too much pressure on these players and then when become just solid NBA player instead of BITW conversation they get slandered

@Kameron_Hay I will say if the Bucks didn’t win in ‘21 I think Giannis would be catching a lot more heat for his lack of playoff success the last 5 seasons. But that ring pretty much made him teflon in a lot of peoples eyes
English
Because everybody in the current top 5 players in the league is seen as an overachiever except for Luka and Wemby who were expected to be this good. Joker, Giannis and Shai all basically blew past expectations that were placed on them already
kingtisemedia@kingtisemedia
Something none of the current stars have experienced yet is the pressure to win again. Kobe, Shaq, Bron, Steph, KD all had the pressure and criticism to win again. Plays a big part in how a lot of people view KD rn

@NickMcLawhorn @JoshEberley Do you believe the Celtics are still the 2 seed or even the 1 seed today if Jaylen didn’t play all season? They’re better without him right? He’s holding them back right?
English
@kingdotii @JoshEberley What if the team gets much better when that star sits, e.g., Jaylen Brown?
English
Best player is sitting, what's the team's net rating?
Clippers (Kawhi off): -5.8
Nuggets (Jokic off): -3.9
Sixers (Maxey): -3.2
Lakers (Luka off): -1.4
Cavaliers (Mitchell off): -0.7
Spurs (Wemby off): +2
Wolves (Ant off): +3.2
Pistons (Cade off): +3.5
Rockets (Durant off): +4.1
Thunder (SGA): +5.7
Knicks (Brunson): +7.7
Celtics (Brown off): +15

@LAClippersFilm I’m just trying to understand the baseline if Jaylen’s performance this season is supposed to be closer to Derrick White than Kawhi.
English
@kingdotii Read it slowly
D White > JB being a closer discussion is not even remotely the same as flat out saying D White > JB
English
“Are we sure” is crazy man
Derrick White > Jaylen Brown is a closer discussion than Jaylen Brown > Kawhi Leonard.
Dan Greenberg@StoolGreenie
Are we sure? What do you consider relevant? Just the advanced metrics or efficiency? Why are these not relevant in addition to the team context? Points: 28.5 (Jaylen) vs 28.2 (Kawhi) Rebounds: 7.0 (Jaylen) vs 6.4 (Kawhi) Assists: 5.1 (Jaylen) vs 3.6 (Kawhi) I saw you mention on/off and the Celts being good as a knock of sorts, but that doesn't mean Kawhi is a better player this year just because lineups without him don't do well in those minutes
