Maybe it's just me, but we don't need to pit NBA guys against one another for clickbait. Especially the NY Times.
Social media does everything it can to drive division. We don't need to do that here, within hoops.
Instead, let's make the poll more about the most underrated players, the best up-and-coming players, the best veteran presences, the most coachable, the most athletic, the most likely to be a future GM, etc.
Uplift instead of throwing stones.
(Also, let's make it very clear only 81 dudes out of 450+ participated in this poll, so please don't pretend like it's definitive.)
I don't know. Just my take.
The Athletic@TheAthletic
The most overrated section of our annual player poll has emerged as the most controversial. Thoughts on Alperen Şengün coming in at No. 1?
English
@databallr That, along with better game scheduling
Less slurs and violent threats from fans overall as well

Is the main reason for the decrease in home court advantage fairer officiating?
I remember reading about how officials are subconsciously biased to make calls in favor of the home team.
Lev Akabas@LevAkabas
(4) Home court advantage in the NBA is far less significant than it used to be

@CultureCrave Same issue after several re-watches: all of them are terrible people and there’s nobody worth rooting for
Shelf it and keep the Dunk and Egg series going

@WorldWideWob A 29% shot (a Champagnie pull-up 3) is just NOT ‘one of the best looks of the game’
A go-ahead is what you call if you know your players are prepared and decisive in that scenario. Clearly, most of them were confused and caught off guard
English
LOVE that decision by Mitch Johnson to not call timeout. Almost every Wolves player was grabbing their shorts after those chaotic turnover sequences, they anticipated it coming, and it results in Champagnie getting one of the best looks of the game to win it. Just didn't fall.

@EDubble111 ngl It takes a concerted effort to willfully ignore how the media and people online tore down his competitors and tore down his own teammates in order to prop him up, for years

@NekiasNBA I for one did not know people were waiting on his downfall like this. I opened up twitter this morning and was shocked. I knew he wasn’t everyone’s favorite but people really think he’s a fraud
English
we (collectively) have not been able to have a normal conversation about him and i just don't think it's gonna change at this rate.

There’s a course correct on Jokic that’s going a lil too far.

@TheSteinLine The whole point of a G-League affiliate is to be interconnected with the main team’s bball operations, and be able to conveniently call up and assign players between teams
They fumbled a great setup
English
Also ...
The Lakers have announced that their G League team will move from the South Bay where the team's practice facility is to Palm Desert and become the Coachella Valley Lakers starting next season.

@HotHandTheory This one is definitely emblematic of an overarching, league-wide issue — people online instinctively complaining about calls where the player actually got fouled
English
IMO this one was worse because it’s more emblematic of an overarching, leaguewide issue—Sengun created no advantage and had no path to the basket. The Lakers were in great guarding position with TWO defenders. But throw your body into a defender awkwardly and you may be rewarded!
Lev Akabas@LevAkabas
This "legal guarding position" nonsense needs to end This was an offensive foul (or a no call) for the first 70 years of the NBA An offensive player can now plow into a defender's stomach simply because he's not standing 100% perfectly still?

@ChrisUnger_ @EASPORTSUFC be honest tho, do you think editing it to show a clean figure of Pereira would’ve looked better?

@ThunderFilmRoom tbh not a luxury. you need 3 ball handlers to be able to stagger them in a way that there’s always 2 of them on the floor at all times

I have chatted with a human assistant using PlayStation Support and indeed they have confirmed that the following news is true.
The 30-Day Timer being applied to all new purchases is true
NikTek@NikTek
The new DRM on the PlayStation update is a disgrace to gaming, Sony should make a statement whenever this PlayStation Support message is real or faked. This issue with this 30-Day Timer being applied to all new purchases isn't about having an active internet connection, but the concept of ownership. Sony is taking the rights away from users who purchase their games digitally. If you go offline for more than 30 days, you're locked from playing a game that you bought with your own money. Your console shouldn't require an active online internet connection to verify the purchase or the validity of a video-game that you've purchased previously in my opinion.
