I'm as nostalgic for my NBA playing days as anyone, but watching these playoffs has made one thing crystal clear:
The game is as good as it's EVER been.
The skill level, the shooting, the chess-match, the star performances. It's all ELITE.
Yeah, regular season consumption habits have changed. We second screen. We third screen. I know I do for real. But, man, these playoffs deserve our full attention.
I played with and against some legit hall of famers, but what I'm seeing right now is next-level basketball.
The NBA is thriving in April. We just need to sit down and watch the stars shine.
This has taken up at least 74% of my brain’s capacity this morning. Can’t get over how dope this moment is. Nothing tickles my hoops nostalgia fancy quite like Slam magazine. Just taking it all in, certainly not for granted. This Auburn team deserves it.
We DEFINITELY need to talk more about this young man. I don’t want to say Tahaad Pettiford reminds me of a young Brandon Jennings because a lot of y’all will be telling on yourselves, but he does.
