Life as a shorty shouldn’t be so rough

@MichaelRedd_ Saw your videos pop up a few weeks ago ago…great insight and breakdowns 🫡

A lot of memories watching you score that ball. That lefty stroke was so smooth 🤌

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates I love Kobe and I watched it all. He was amazing, but he had plenty of bad playoff moments. He’s better than Shai for sure. Much better defender. But I’m a huge Shai fan as well and the discourse against him is going overboard.

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates You just want to pick and choose. You care that Shai struggled in a 4-0 sweep over Memphis but don’t care that Kobe had a similar type series when they beat the Wolves in the WCF. There are other series like that

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@FFGregston2041 @Jumpshot8 @okcthunder And a healthy Gordon wasn’t flipping a game they were down almost 50!

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@Blaykeryan154 @CuffsTheLegend Not a chance Spurs win if OKC fully healthy. OKC almost won playing with Caruso, Cason, and McCain as their top offensive options after Shai. That’s two guys who are defense first and a player with 60 games in his career who only joined the team 3 months ago!

@RockyTacoBean @CharlesCswrld Stop it…Tatum lives in the East

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates Oh yes, against the suns with defensive innovator D’Antoni

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@RockyTacoBean @CharlesCswrld So numbers don’t matter. MVPs don’t matter. Scoring title doesn’t matter. Finals MVP doesn’t matter. But your eye (bias) is determinative. Got it 🤝

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates Brother, Harden is a terrible playoff performer. He has so many playoff games with under 5 FGs made. So many with more TOs than FGs. So many disappearing acts in huge games. The man couldn’t beat the Spurs AFTER Kawhi went down. It’s indefensible!

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates Kobe had no great playoff RUNS without Shaq or Gasol. Not a knock on him…just facts. Nobody could win in the playoffs with Kwame, Smush, etc.

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates C’mon. Harden is a choker in every big spot and Dame never got anywhere. I’m talking numbers AND results. Shai is doing it. Tell me they wouldn’t be back to back with a healthy JDub (even without Mitchell).

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates He’s averaging 29-30 ppg over the last three playoffs with a ring and great game 7 performances. Not sure what you want

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates I’m telling you he’s at that level. The numbers and results show it. Give it time. Let the team develop. Like I said, most of the guys you named won with proven HOF players at their side. Dub and Chet are still growing. We’ll see where it goes

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates That’s checkmate my friend

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates Ummm guess what. If we remove Shai’s first two playoff series (since you removed some for Kobe) where he was not the top option, his numbers are identical on better shooting. But I’m sure you knew that 🤣

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates Just say you don’t like him. Shai shoots 10 of 25 for 32 in a playoff win and he’s a dropper. Kobe or Iverson does the same and they’re all guts finding ways to win.

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates When Kobe stopped playing?

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates He didn’t need to force things against the weak Lakers who threw the whole team at him. You can count that against him, but doesn’t really matter to me. He played smart and they swept.

[Eth.R.E.A.M. @Eth_ream]

@KembaJacksonJr3 @NBATourDates We’re talking about a total of only 9 series since he’s been at this level and I’m not concerned about ones where they easily swept…but if you’re stuck on numbers it’s more than you are giving him credit for. Was he not great in first round against the Suns?
