I don't think Wiggins ever really got "next Lebron" hype, and he certainly plays a very different type of game. He's never going to be putting up rebounding or assist numbers anywhere near what LeBron does, for example.

Top-5 what? Politician? Because there's absolutely no question that he's a top-5 NBA player all-time.

Only a few more weeks and LBJ is displacing MJ.

code:

NP	Player
5986.24	Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4915.4	Artis Gilmore
4915.28	Karl Malone
4688.56	Reggie Miller
4381.56	Adrian Dantley
4349.08	Charles Barkley
4188.12	Shaquille O'Neal
4053.56	Dirk Nowitzki
3895.32	Michael Jordan

He might even catch Dirk this year if he remains injured.

He's awesome. Also, I like how Simmons cannot make up his mind on him, he's probably concussed from all the flip-flopping.

We need a real star who is taller!
He's the best!
He should come off the bench!
He's Tiny Archibald!

I don't watch Sixers games but I do hope Embiid doesn't evolve into an annoying rear end fuccboi like that piece of poo poo Dwight Howard.

quote:

“A lot of people do all their howling on the court and they’re faking just for attention, but what he does is genuine.
"So one day we were at his house and we were watching Puff Daddy’s show ‘Making the Band,’ and in one of the scenes, some new guys came in and were trying to sing and were trying to compete against the guys who had been there. And KG just got so hyped, ‘Motherfucker, you’ve got to stand up for yours! You’ve got to fight! Motherfucker, you’ve got to come together!’ He’s going crazy, he’s sweaty. And he just headbutts the wall and put a hole in the wall of his house.”

I have come pretty far sticking to my "I'm not a fan of any one team, just a fan of the game" principle, but Embiid this season has been making it very difficult for me.

Dwight Howard was never a star, more like a salary cap weight.

I mean a general theory that would explain previous injuries, explain the lack of injuries in similar-but-different cases, and be able to predict future injuries given known factors.

edit: I'm not putting the lack of a theory on anyone, just expressing surprise that the problem is much more difficult than I assumed.

Having a crazy dad that wants to fulfill his sports dreams through his sons is more important than genetics, really, that's why there's never been any father/ son all stars. Someone like Dell Curry, who was close enough to stardom, is an ideal situation.
