Okay let’s remove penalty goals shall we?
Messi at the World Cup— 14 goals
Ronaldo at the World Cup— 7 goals
Messi overall— 802 goals
Ronaldo overall— 793 goals
This is not the road you want to go down.
The Hornets keeping LaMelo for all these years than trading him when they finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel is exactly why bad teams stay bad
I wonder how many minutes the Thunder play next year that ARE NOT double big
I think a reason they haven’t really addressed getting bigger “wings” or non big rebounders is that they’re confident they can play 2 bigs on the floor at all times, which obviously gives you a high rebounding floor.
The Hornets have been fighting to climb back up the NBA totem pole for like a decade, they have a historic run over the second half of the season, barely miss the playoffs behind a hyper promising offensive young core, and then trade the engine of that offense ASAP
Idk man
The way you guys talk about Kobe going through the West, you’d think he was some underdog surviving a gauntlet every year. In reality, he usually had one of the deepest and most talented rosters in the conference. Lakers weren’t punching above their weight.
I think you’re going to see JDub transition even more into the off ball wing/transition role too
OKC liked using Ajay as the primary ball handler in those units & I’m sure they will plan to use Stirtz a lot too in similar situations.
Lots of lineups where OKC will have 2-3 true ball handlers on the floor, insane amounts of offensive talent that OKC couldn’t put on the floor a year or 2 ago
A superteam is when you have multiple players doing different things at a level that’s top in the league
Having 2 DPOY candidates, the rebound king, an MVP candidate and most versatile player in the league
..IS FAR MORE HELP than secondary scorers
If LeBron making 8 straight finals is evidence that he played in a weak east, then why isn't MJ winning 6 championships in 7 seasons not evidence that he played in a weak league?
Isaiah Hartenstein will be the starting center in Oklahoma City for at least two more years, but Aday Mara absolutely has the upside to take that role over by the 2028-29 season.
There will be massive Chet Holmgren x Aday Mara lineups for the foreseeable future.
