I should have bet on Dennis Smith Jr to win rookie of the year back when the odds were stupidly in favor of Ball.

The only thing holding back DSJ is potentially injuring himself by trying to dunk on anything that moves.

This is hilarious.
Isaac is one of the rookies I'm most curious to watch develop. He is allegedly one of the few people the Mavs wanted over DSJ.

The 1999 Bulls had one 30+ point game the whole year (Toni Kukoc 31 points).

This is going to be one of those seasons where we're relying on these guys:

I loving love Reggie Miller but I dont think he is one of the 50 Greatest Players of all time.

He's underrated because he never played with another great player. Guys with 22,000+ points/2P% above 50%/3P% above 33.3%:

1. LeBron James
2. Reggie Miller

Two guys out of a pool of basically 4,500.

Not sure why this argument has to come up like once every 6 months or so, but yeah he is obviously one of the best players of all-time, easily one of the 50 best.

Well poo poo I'm convinced. He was always number 1 in my heart, felt pretty homerish to say top 50 all time over guys like Pete Maravich, James Worthy and Bill Walton.

apparently he just did a PT session and had been/was being iced? i assume he's got a big ice bag on his knee, so he can't move it or it'd need to be done over again.

quote:

According to Jeff McDonald of SAEN, Kawhi had undergone rehab just before the video and might have been iced for the flight. Which would mean that bending his right knee to take a step would have resulted in having to be re-iced. So, being careful it is.

According to the best stat (winshares) Reggie Miller is either 14th or 17th best ever. (Depending on if you count ABA or not for those players) He is probably underrated here but I wouldn't call him a top 20 player personally.

DSJ out with a left knee issue. Devin Harris might not play due to his brother getting killed on the highway. Might get rough for the Mavs tonight.
Did not expect them to be down 3 guards this early again.

Dennis Smith Jr would be the bold prince and Frank Ntilikina would be the foreign price, I'll say Dennis because I can visualize him leaping into the scene and slaughtering people like good Fortinbras. He's been wronged but we don't know anything about his father.

people claim shakespeare was like the coolest most original writer ever or whatever but if he really knew how to make a good story he would have took the part where hamlet is dead and fortinbras puts on the crown and put it after the end credits
