Fazer o modo carreira online é MUITO foda
Eu cai no Celtics e perdi pro Pelicans na final da nba, 4 temporadas depois fui vencer a NBA junto a Paolo Banchero pelo Warriors
Jr montou uma dinastia de 3 titulos com Petterson e Duren no bulls
Lebiel só foi para os playoffs uma vez e foi vice campeão
Hdp foi para os playoffs 3x e se lesionou em todas as séries, inclusive rompendo o ACL
Jv trocou de time 5 VEZES e não chegou na final de conferencia
É muito foda fazer com seus amigos, cada um ter sua história e fazer arte, edit de jogador e etc
Tagging onto this discussion.
Dame’s 2019-2021 peak and Brunson’s 2024-2026 peak are honestly a fascinating comparison because they arrive at elite offense in completely different ways.
Dame was more of a nuclear ecosystem engine. Brunson is more of a surgical halfcourt killer.
Dame from 19-21 was genuinely bending entire defenses:
+5.5 rTS on/off in 2019
+17.8 rTS on/off in 2021
massive boosts to teammate rim frequency
massive boosts to 3PA frequency
entire offenses built around 30 foot pull-up gravity
Portland’s offense completely changed when he stepped on the floor because defenses had to pick him up damn near at halfcourt. Teammates got cleaner rim attempts, cleaner catch and shoot looks, more space everywhere.
And it’s important to remember Dame was doing this in WAY worse offensive environments than Brunson.
Brunson has:
better spacing
better wing creation around him
more shotmaking support
better defensive infrastructure
more lineup versatility
another legitimate creator/scorer next to him
Dame’s Portland offenses were basically trying to survive off of Dame’s advantage creation for years. The fact he was still producing those ecosystem numbers in that environment is honestly ridiculous.
2021 playoffs is probably Dame’s strongest peak argument and for a good reason:
1.21 PPP
65.7 TS%
+11.8 rTS
41.7 Points Over Expectation
Then the creation stuff gets stupid:
11.7 handler poss/game on 61.3 TS%
+8.5 rTS%
1.09 PPP
7.2 isolation poss/game on 84.5 TS%
+33.2 rTS
1.65 PPP
But Brunson’s 25-26 playoff scoring profile is honestly one of the best isolation/postseason guard peaks we’ve seen recently.
2026 playoffs:
27.5/6.7 per 75
+5.8 rTS
+39.1 Points Over Expectation
+11.6 rORTG on/off
58.7 TS% on 5.1 isolation possessions/game
1.16 PPP in isolation
91st percentile isolation efficiency
And the biggest thing is HOW he scores.
Brunson’s game isn’t really dependent on coverage mistakes. It’s footwork, pacing, strength, counters, balance, manipulation. That stuff survives deeper into playoff environments than pure pull up ecosystems sometimes do.
The Philly series this year was absurd too:
31.6 PPG on 65.2 TS% with +7.3 adj rTS
Meanwhile Dame’s peaks occasionally had volatility vs elite trapping defenses because once the ball got out of his hands the ecosystem weakened a bit.
But Dame’s overall offensive ceiling was still probably higher because of the spacing panic he created. Brunson creates elite offense. Dame created fear.
Both need good defensive ecosystems around them to hide their defensive weaknesses.
But peak Dame’s offensive ecosystem impact was just insane considering the environment:
higher offensive lift
better teamwide spacing impact
more scalable heliocentric offense
greater offensive warping
weaker surrounding ecosystem
Brunson’s probably the more resilient playoff shotmaker possession-to-possession.
Dame was still the more valuable offensive engine overall.
Playoff OFF EPM backs it too:
Dame 2021: +8.1
Brunson 2026: +4.0
I’d still take peak Dame, but Brunson’s current playoff peak is still damn impressive even if people don’t want to admit that
Dame 3PT context
3x 3PT champion!!!
13 3s in a game
Most 3s in history in a playoff game (12)
Most 3s in history in a playoff series (35: had 34 in 5 game.. Steph had 32 in 6 for reference)
Most 3s in history in a playoff half (8)
2 series winning buzzer beating 3s. No one else has more than 1. (Jordan has 2 but not 3pt)
Let’s ask would you consider Ray Allen to be better from 3?
Let’s take a look..
Career numbers since yall love those… (peak favors dame even crazier)
Dame: 8.5 attempts on 37%
Ray: 5.7 attempts on 40%
Dame not only CREATES HIS OWN 3s.. deals with traps, play makes at an elite level.. BUT HE ADD MORE 3PT VALUE THAN ANYONE BUT STEPH.
Ray Allen had 2 seasons shooting more than 8 attemps.. his %? Hmm 38.. way more C&S attempts as well.
Reggie Miller never shot over 6.6 attempts per game and didn’t create like Dame. Next
Klay.. amazing of course, has a much better argument because his volume and % (7.7 - 40%). However he’s not close to the shot creator from 3.
We know majority of his shots are opened up for him.
The spacing he adds by creating all this by himself.. is why those underwhelming Blazer rosters were always T-3 in offense EVERY SEASON.
He’s that ridiculous from distance that it opened up everyone else’s game. Go watch.
Spin back/side step/step back/pull up/leaner.
They cannot do it like him.
WE ARE TAKING DAME FROM 3.
Today we're announcing LevelUp: a free, four-week training program that takes people with no prior experience and prepares them to work as fiber technicians on data center construction sites across the US.
We built this program with CBRE because the fiber technician field, and the broader construction industry, is facing a nationwide shortage at a time when data center demand is higher than ever.
How it works:
🔧 Classroom instruction, hands-on labs + team activities covering transferable technical skills
🎓 Graduates have the opportunity to work at Meta's US construction sites through our contractor network
🤝 Open to everyone from recent high school grads to mid-career professionals
Since 2010, Meta's data center projects have supported 30,000+ skilled trade jobs during construction + 5,000+ permanent operational roles. LevelUp is about building the pipeline to keep that going.
