@TimBontemps I think this is because of the three ball. Dependence on it creates more uncertainty for the teams and lessens the home court advantage.

@NBA champions since @KingJames came to the @Lakers

This is the moment when 👑 turned into 🐐for me

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@bballforever_ I think 2023 playoffs he was on Phoenix. The uniform in the graphic seems incorrect.

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@BronMuse I’m sure if we do this for playoff wins since @KingJames came into the league he’ll lead every team by a wide margin in number of wins.

🐐👑

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@JSMonYT Clearly any lineup with Luka @KingJames Rui needs to be scrapped. I’m quite certain that replacing Rui with Bron in the top 2 lineups would further increase their net ratings. Also Bron and Luka need to be staggered as much as possible in other lineups.

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@jovanbuha I think with full rotation set @KingJames will see an uptick in C&S FG% expecting close to 40% for the rest of the season.

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@WITNESSKJ @KingJames I’m sure he’ll still be a top 15 player in #NBA next year provided he gets a full training camp and preseason.

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@WITNESSKJ Sadly @KingJames may choose to stay in LA with a pay cut. I think he does this for his daughter. He wouldn’t want to uproot her life. I won’t judge his choice negatively coz family should always come first.

@PaulGarciaNBA Someone needs to do the same voting analysis for Antman vs Curry

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@statmuse I feel bad for Antman. He didn’t deserve the snub. Instead of All Star they should call this a popularity contest. Player voting was even worse than fan voting.

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@BronMuse I’m sure if he hadn’t missed those games at the beginning of the season he would have gotten a lot more votes and been a starter

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@bballforever_ I don’t think Curry deserved the starting spot over Antman. This media and fan love for him is absurd

[Basketball Aficionado @allstatsnba]

@WITNESSKJ It’s a sad thing that these numbers still don’t include his stats from play in tournament and NBA cup finals

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]
