MCW had a pretty remarkable rookie year. Like, surprisingly so when you look back.

Best MCW thing is definitely Bulls announcing crew constantly calling him Michael-Carter... when he was *on* the Bulls.

THE BULLS HAVE SCORED 7 POINTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER

Edit: Wrong thread but whatever.

The Bulls were founded in 1966 and since that time they have played 4,488 games. Tonight they scored 7 points. The lowest first quarter in franchise history.

Spacebump posted:

He looks better earlier in his career due to Magic's playmaking and OKC realizes they should resign him instead of trade him for...wait it only changes the Durant situation. Magic being on the team instead of Westbrook doesn't make the OKC owners suddenly not cheap.

Looking back it's still crazy they didn't accommodate Harden. In 2012 he put up great shooting numbers that whole year. He had the highest TS% for a 22 year old or younger in NBA/ABA history. Third best scorer in the whole league trailing only KD and LBJ.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:

Who would you guys rather have as your franchise PG in present day NBA? Magic Johnson or Russell Westbrook?

Magic considering he was capable of shooting 58% from 2P range across a whole season. RW has hung around 44-46% many years.

Don't sell out, and let him shoot a fade away hook rather than a layup going towards the hoop. Easier said than done, but yeah.

I believe the Bulls had more turnovers than points at some point in the second quarter. That has to be rare.

Lets say ripped out of time into present day the moment he gets drafted to make this fair for Russ. Also consider that Magic's best season is still nowhere close to what Russ did last year production-wise

Magic had extremely good stats throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. What are you saying is nowhere close?

Seriously though Embiid just put up 46 pts with 14 boards, 7 asssists, 7 blocks with only two turnovers on .700 shooting oh and he was also 16/19 from the line. Drop the two 1's and that's the sex number. That's money, people.

Embiid is the supernova for the NBA, an amalgamation of all the best characteristics of the NBA's legends; just need some bubble wrap and we're set
