there are three major positions in the nba

- guy who dribbles. this is usually a small person
- wings
- center


MJ was a two way wing which, besides a two way c enter , the most valuable player

a 6,6 wing like mj is hyper valuable

MJ's true height is probably 6'4", 6'5" or so

He was great mostly because of his skill and his athleticism, not because he was a big forward

it’s pretty clear that either Tobias or PJ should be coming off the bench. It’s the Matisse problem, except while both can play offense, neither is really athletic enough to cover for Embiid and Harden. Doesn’t help that they are often starting from the corner three spot. Tobias is more offensively dynamic, so he’d get my vote to start. Let Matisse have PJs spot and bring him in with the second unit.

You want the better defender to play same time as opponents starters through, best offensive role player is a 6th man.

at this point I’m not sure if Harris is that much of a downgrade to Tucker, imo. But Harris would probably score more with the second unit.

I don’t think they can be on the court together though. someone needs to run back.

He was using the bathroom and Michael Jordan walked in and used the urinal next to him. The guy was starstruck and ended up looking at Jordan's dick for some reason, and said it was large enough that he looked at it for too long. Jordan noticed, smiled, zipped up, said "Gotta play to win" and walked out.

didn’t even rinse his fingy tips? that's champion tier

he had a 7' wong span and enormous hands.

If Jordan was 6'"1 he would not have been nearly as good.

in my mind it's very possible that Embiid and harden are trying to get Rivers fired. morey may even be in on it

it's the only way i can remain optimistic

I am hope that too, although it seems a little wierd since all they would have to do is call Morey and tell him to do it.

being big helps up until your body geometry makes you run like embiid. i think mikal bridges has too long of a wingspan to effectively shoot 3s in the nba, despite being good at shooting them.
