thinking steph curry is bad is reactionary because it's a backlash against him making small ball popular instead of having five giants headbutt the rim on every play

steph curry democratized the game of basketball by showing that small but talented players can be better than genetic freaks, and it drives authoritarians who just want a strong daddy to envelop them in his enormous wingspan mad

lmao small players (he’s not even small ) have been good forever . just reiterating : Steph Curry is not small. (he does play small i admit)

try paying attention to basketball

Chris Paul is way smaller than Curry and way way better so what point are you even making

I think you all should watch this Chris Paul guy he’s pretty good and small if that is what you like

since everything is about wins then lebron going 28-27 in 2019 means he was not even a top 16 player in terms of winning percentage and the pelicans with davis weren't even better than 23rd. inexplicable that two players who are arguably not even top 20 won the championship the next year obviously they were both carried by rajon rondo

That's half correct, they were carried by Danny Green, Dwight Howard, and Rajon Rondo, as shown by the teams those people went to still being in contention while the Lakers are out.

Idk about Howard but the other two guys are legit and needed in the playoffs

the option year is the year (season ) after the completion of the non option year contract

I understood it perfectly . since the season normally ends on June 30 , next year could be this year also

this happens in business and no one is confused

Big downside for Denver

https://twitter.com/bobbymarks42/status/1402395360916606977?s=21

They will lose a lot of cap space (and tax issues) for a guy whose not good enough to win the title . I guess if that is the best they can do they have to do it
