you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Romo shattering the backboard in garbage time is the dream.

He isn't going to get minutes but imagine being a fringe NBA prospect if he did.

He's pretty good. He and Caron Butler were in the same All County team in high school.

Ben Simmons, who has yet to play a game recovering from a Jones fracture in his right foot, has grown two inches to just under 7’0, according to ex-Sixers player World B.

Why does the MVP always come down to semantic argument between "best production by a player, best production by a player on a good team, best player overall"
Just split it into three awards and if someone is truly greate set up an electro magnet in his shoes so the trophies spin around him like Mario kart shells

in the dark unemotional basketball future of 2020, the only award will be "most win shares." the trophy will be modeled after a player shooting a corner 3.

The problem is that if you split the two awards into "MVP" and "Best Player in the NBA" there would be a clusterfuck of idiots who'd argue to the death that two should be one and the same, and thanks to them you'd likely see one player win both awards.

On just 34 shots from the field. Only 16 free throws attempts, too. The All-NBA snub will burn him to the core.

Some of those threes were just ridiculous.

Denver now has to win out and the Blazers have to lose out for Denver to make the 8 seed.

If you'd told me in December this Blazer team would be in the playoffs I would've said you were crazy. Amazing turnaround.

cause people need to bend standards to support their favorite player, which is why the decision should be made by men of integrity such as myself, who say it's clearly my least favorite player in the league James Harden

NHL has the Hart which is for the "player adjudged to be most valuable to their team" and the Pearson, which is for "most outstanding player"

Usually they go to the same player, but not always. Hart is voted by the media, Pearson by the players
