@ronniietorrt @iamrahstradamus As a sixers fan, the average NBA fan said our series was going to be close however it broke and the Knicks ran us out of the gym in 4. They’re en route to do the same in the ECF. We’ll see what happens in the finals, regardless this is an all time run

@JeffNadu Kobe is closer to a top 15 guy than he is a top 3 guy

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@JoshEberley The backlash may be over the top because it’s in direct correlation to how over the top his praise has been the past few years

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

@AndrewDBailey Breaking: Andy Bailey thinks Jokic is MVP

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@SwatsonERA @SarksDaddy @twoyrsaway @BillSimmons Win a second title??? Lmao feels like an obvious answer

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@justwhoweare2 @xaviercross1971 @isaac303h @AndrewDBailey “Rings don’t dictate greatness” said only by people defending a player who doesn’t have enough of them lmao

Take any player in or around the consensus top 10 all time and every single one has multiple rings

@daniel61531570 @MaxeyManiac @JoshEberley Curry you mean the 10th guy on this list?

@daniel61531570 @MaxeyManiac @JoshEberley Read the chart, #1 overall season, 2 seasons in the top 5, and 3 in the top 10

Higher than everyone

@WuKingdom1 @DiBiaseLOE Micah and Jerry had a fractured relationship, Micah could care less about helping Jerry lmao

AJ and Howie/Jeff likely have a great relationship, again very likely that Howie told AJ he’s going to try to accommodate him but let Howie do what Howie does so he can get a good return

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@WuKingdom1 @DiBiaseLOE Let’s be real Kenny, he doesn’t want to be here, I’m sure he let the organization know and they probably said we’ll do the best to accommodate you but don’t say anything publicly, otherwise Howie would lose leverage

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@CeoOfSurvivor47 I mean Kenzie is one of the worst winners ever and almost entirely the result of a bitter jury towards Charlie

But I get your point

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@mxspiro @JoshReynolds24 Glad to see you started watching the NBA this season!

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@theblockspot Brady, Montana, Mahomes

Cut the other 9

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@dzstepback3 @JoshEberley The thing you’re forgetting is Curry is a vastly better basketball player, so swap teams and you would be incorrect

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@RealBBFan @willieboag @TorchingBuyins @Hoopss Giannis quote was after he was eliminated as the 1 seed by the 8th seed

That is an abject failure

He gave the example of Jordan, can you imagine if you asked MJ the same question the reporter asked? MJ would tell you he absolutely failed

And that’s why he was so successful

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@_engage_8 @kedar2711 @Hoopss Not every team should have the same expectations

Imagine if you asked MJ this question after losing in the first round?

Of course it’s a failure

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@DiBonaNFL “It’s best to keep Vic Fangio around so that both sides of the coaching staff aren’t dealing with new coordinators leading them”

Or because he’s the best DC we’ve ever had?

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

@MAbramsboxing @EliotShorrParks I mean factually Mannion has 2 years of any coaching experience ever, has never called plays, and is now coaching a team with Super Bowl aspirations

While most of ESPs tweets/takes are silly, this is objectively a risky hire

[Dave Silver @ballcommish]

He actually has a crazier one, watch the slow mo replay
