what sports betting thing should I use to put $100 on the spurs winning the finals ?

I have the same question but for the Thunder

Bamba has been a good backup center for awhile. Weird big guy who can block but can't really rebound, and can hit threes but can't really hit his free throws

lol that is such a terrible idea

if he goes to a contender, I'll call my shot here: he gets canned at the all star break of his second season when the team is outside of the playoffs picture after high expectations going in

if he goes to Washington, he sticks around for a while longer because no one's expecting playoffs

Prodigiously talented basketball teenager from France who's in Las Vegas this week to make his debut with his American professional team. Shockingly tall and long man. I don't blame Britney for trying to climb him.

I think he's a guaranteed generational type of defensive player unless his legs fall off or something but my wembanyama hot take for a while has been that the shooting stuff is probably not real. People talk about him like he's KD but he's never shot the ball well. Ever! 29% on 300 attempts from 3 over the course of his pro-ish career in France since 19-20. That's bad!

Still one of the most gifted big men any of us have ever seen, but the stuff about him being a lethal pull-up shooting 7'5" Kevin Durant is a psyop that has been perpetrated against us by the French, imo.

he's too skinny, can't put on weight without probably loving up his knees, gets bossed around and apparently doesn't have an actual offensive game

welcome to the nba where the players are actually good

One of my favorite JVG moments was him talking about coaching 8th grade girls basketball and he said something along the lines of "Every chance you get, send six of them onto the court, the refs won't notice half the time." His other great strategy was "Try to convince the bad players that they're sick because you have to play them all. If you time it just right you can get your six best girls on the court in the fourth quarter and just steal the game."

This is the coach I want

I like him for most improved player in the 2023-2024 season. Last year's draft class will end up being insane with Chet/Jabari/Jalen Williams/Paolo/Sharpe/Kessler as its first tier alongside the solid second tier headed by Murray/Ivey/Mathurin/Duren/Mark Williams/AJ Griffin/Tari Eason/Nembhard/
