In his case he got into an accident in the offseason and the team sent him a letter saying they would void his contract if he did it again, which he did the next offseason. it goes without saying that there were no consequences.

Giannis is by far the best 2P bucket maker this year. LBJ is nearly forty but still the #2 FG guy.

Rockets’ Dillon Brooks, Ime Udoka Fined By NBA
https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/12/rockets-dillon-brooks-ime-udoka-fined-by-nba.html


He would've been very dominant in pre-1938 basketball (jump ball after every field goal).

What is Lebron's standout moment? I feel like he's been so consistently great that I can't think of one iconic shot for him.

That time when he made a clutch 3P shot (while injured) to preserve his 10+ points game streak. And then checked out of the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlHJh2vHAPg

All his other accolades could be replicated. The likelihood of another player scoring 10+ points in like 1,200 games. Don't count on ever seeing that again.

Didn't the Nuggets defense rank 21 at some point last year or am I misremembering something Zogo said?

The Nuggets had a below average D FG% last year. It was the first time a team won a title like that since the early 1990s Bulls.

Is there a way to look up who takes the longest 3s on average because I feel like it must be Porzingis. He is always like 4 feet behind the arc and its always above the break. Like, dude, you are 7'3 and can shoot over anyone. Stand at the line.

I was thinking about this the other day, most superstars have at least one or two iconic moments that you'll never forget. Like everyone's gonna remember this shot twenty years from now. Jordan's shrug, series winner against the Cavs. Tim Duncan's 3 against the Suns. Shaq's game 7 alley oop that basically sealed the first championship of the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. Etc.

It's harder to find those moments for James given that his signature move might be driving to collapse the defense then kicking it out to a deadeye on the perimeter. He's obviously a supremely talented scorer but he never really developed that one go to thing, when I think of his most impressive shots, they're always just him being well defended and somehow managing to knock down the shot no matter what, often by driving into the defense and getting a foul too.

Warriors continuing to take Draymond's poo poo face down rear end up

quote:

Former Warriors guard Jordan Poole will return to Chase Center on Thursday for the first time since being traded to the Washington Wizards this summer.

The move stunned Poole, the NBA world and Warriors coach Steve Kerr who, even four months later, didn't like how things unfolded for the young guard.

“I look back at that, and I hate that it happened,” Kerr told The Athletic's Anthony Slater. “I know that in my heart, that when [the Draymond Green punch] happened, we handled it the best way we thought we could handle it. But in hindsight — and hindsight is always 20/20 — we could have done better for sure.

"I just hate the way it ended for Jordan here, because he is a huge success story. For us and for him, this was a great marriage. He helped us win a title. We helped him, you know, become a champion and a guy who signed a big contract, life-changing contract. It was all wildly successful. But I hate the way it ended.”

A great marriage, shame about the domestic abuse.

Was listening to the Lowe post with Shelburne. While Ramona continues to be a hack and gave Draymond the most charitable light she could, Lowe brought up the point that they probably went easy on Draymond on the Poole punch because the footage got leaked which is stupid as poo poo but makes sense. Also Lowe Posts with Ramona continue to remain the worst

Also lol Kerr is acting like the org didn’t prepare until hit pieces long before the trade
