@CHINO_2800@TheDunkCentral Had a guy who was top 5 mvp finish and multiple all defensive guards with elite coaching every single year. And all the guys I said have a conference mvp and given his situation would have gotten the fmvp with ease. Tell me the 3 amazing Tatum moments in the 2020s please
@CHINO_2800@TheDunkCentral Knicks won with a completely new style of play as well as a better bench. Luka was the only player who could fucking dribble and had 3 all nba defenders taking him on with guys at boxes and elbows so sorry if Idrc he was below his normal %(tatum was so much fucking worse lmao)
@CHINO_2800@TheDunkCentral Blew 2 20 pt leads at home. He also just blew a 3-1 lead to a meh 76ers team. Tatum sucked in the 22 finals and basically didn’t have a singular memorable moment in the finals run as well as not playing well in said finals
@CHINO_2800@TheDunkCentral Luka has significantly more impressive more performances as well as Jimmy beating his ass multiple times with way worse teams. Brunson beat him with a worse team. There are semi legit arguments jt was the second best player in the finals/the entire finals run
@BigDeuceSzn18@BerryUr_Yeez@lebrosnbames@MikeAdxx Pre injury Tatum was very clearly at best maybe 5th. Giannis jokic sga and wemby(more this year) and was getting thouroughly outplayed by Brunson right up until he gets hurt. He also always been on an elite team which helps with all nba bc writers care about wins(though deserved)
@arhooptalk@RemyLaFlare Please show me the other players in history let alone today built like Shaq that have either the touch or elite athleticism(he was elite at both)
@DynamicBison_@jetstothewest They then trade Pittman in a salary dump and this year they have bad depth to the point they signed 90 year old Keenan Allen. At worst AD was a 2nd year very talented young wr who had a couple bad moments and is cheap for 2 more years
@LegendOfWinning@LakeShowJerry@Kananstark121 23 he gets injured in R2 and Caleb Martin avgs 25 basically and leads them past Boston. 22 Jimmy is awesome. 21 he fucking sucks and gets outscored by Bryne Forbes. He basically has 2 runs of mvpish level play and then average-below average all nba play plus meh reg szns
@samsawant4n@ShiftyBostonian Jb is not a better defender. Hes solid on ball and bad off ball. Tatum is just as good on ball if not better and elite off ball(massive reason they could switch everything in 24 finals) jt is a way better passer/creator and has way more individual accolades(all nbas)
@JayJay2nice@destrphforless Porzingis basically played one game and then got reinjured. Also rob was a DPOY candidate that year and was a better defender than kp in 24. Smart actually was DPOY and horford was better in 22. Maybe it’s a tick down from 24 but Kyrie was locked up by everyone not just Jrue
@Matt__L5@rationalyankee That’s fine but who’s replacing jazz at 2b that’s going to be better. 2B is easily one of the weakest positions and letting one of the few decent ones walk for nothing is dumb when in order to upgrade you have to give up good prospects
@GreatWhite85@ChocGiddyup@kylerulez Mets and blue jays are out. Astros are under .500 and the tigers are also barely .500. Padres are in a terrible position financially/farm. Best team in the AL is Tampa who are cheap asl. Obviously higher payroll helps but isnt necessarily needed
@ChocGiddyup@GreatWhite85@kylerulez I agree. I don’t get why people think cheap people will suddenly not be cheap. Now cheap owners will just spend less money in other areas and also funny the Mets having top 2 payroll and suck
@GreatWhite85@kylerulez It may be best but it also just ensures that dumb teams are gonna be stuck paying bad contracts to meet salary floor. Happens in every capped sport. The dodgers still can way outspend teams in facilities/scouting/all behind the scenes stuff could work tho
@MGmugga@1dollawaya@LakersFilm@sportsfan_6969 Kat got in bs foul trouble in games 3-5. Sure he outplayed him but for the most part when they were both on the court it was an even matchup
@Yoogez1of1@FlameThrowerBl@Big_Moofo@KyleMcCordMuse Either not going downhill or not creating ball movement/advantages. So sure in the reg szn maybe it gives him a percentile more gravity but in games that matter it just means you’re throwing 3-5 possessions away per game
@Yoogez1of1@FlameThrowerBl@Big_Moofo@KyleMcCordMuse I don’t really like/hate either lamelo or Hali but halis gravity is as strong if not stronger. Most teams don’t acc care if he shoots his running 30 footers so it’s not really affecting anything. Do some teams care sure but most serious teams just give it to him bc that means hes
