KAT was called soft by Jimmy Butler.
KAT was traded for Julius Randle and parts.
We all clowned him for calling himself the best big man shooter ever.
And now…
He’s outplaying Wemby and should be Finals MVP favorite. He’s gonna make the HOF.
What a career transformation.
SGA when asked if he would talk to Chet about how to approach the offseason:
"I won’t. I also don’t feel like I need to…The version of Chet we have today is the worst version of Chet Holmgren we’ll ever have."
(h/t @anthonyVslater)
Chet Holmgren has spent his entire life as the tall, lanky phenom basketball player who can also dribble and shoot.
Suddenly Wemby comes along and makes him seem like a generic brand knockoff. I’d be having an existential identity crisis.
Chet Holmgren was an All-NBA player this year and the crazy thing is the Thunder don’t even need that from him here… If he could even be a + role player in this series on offense they’d win but he’s playing scared on the Ben Simmons type of scale.
This guy is too OP off the bench. Every shot he made were good shots off the flow of OKC's offense - nothing forced, even the missed ones. He has them Klay/Steph legs, shooting a lot of jump shots while running off a screen, and never seemed to be out of balanced.
I have an old man take on this, which is that while calling flopping in real time is hard, the league should just review all the tape the next morning and fine guys $50K/flop. Or teams if the CBA makes that hard.
This stuff hurts the product and nobody likes it. Tolerating it is a choice.
Damn, Sean literally jabbed his way to victory 😂 But he definitely had chances to finish Khamzat man, there might be a lot of mutual respect between the both of them in the end.
LETS GOOO SEAN STRICKLAND! #UFC328
NEVER DOUBT AN UNDERDOG SEAN STRICKLAND HE BEATS UP ON CHIMAEV IN ROUNDS 2, 3 AND 5 FOR A VERY CLEAR 48-47 DECISION WIN!
Shut down the grappling early, made it a vintage jab teep fest and peppered up the face of Chimaev
HE DID IT BOYS! USA!
Nobody with a come forward style can beat Benavidez. You need slickness to survive against him. Just look at the Plant fight, which is prolly his toughest. That's why I think he can also stop Jai Opetaia, unless Jai improves his defense and head movement.
It might just be me, but I don't like the 14-second shot clock reset after an offensive rebound. Would rather see them rewarded with enough time to make a good play than a usual rushed one
That's not how it works, champ. If your statements injure a person's character, fame or reputation through false and malicious statements, Ryan will definitely have a case, especially if he provides legit evidence to the contrary and you still continually defame him.
Damn this Nakatani-Hernandez is good! Nothing stops the bulldozer Hernandez, and he just keeps on throwing bombs on an otherwordly volume! I won't be surprised if he gets the upset here, but I scored this fight a Draw, 116-116.
Virgil Ortiz for me has higher ceiling than Canelo. His defense is his weakness as he can be prone to get hit and be dropped, but his offense is as elite as it gets. He cuts the ring better, and unloads way more combinations from different angles, which are arguably faster too.
