This type of hoops drives me batshit crazy…
It goes against everything taught. Crash the glass hard, turn, find your man, put a body on them & box out
Brunson knows exactly what he’s doing. 0 intention of boxing out. EVERY intention of drawing the foul.
LeBron James in just his Lakers tenure has as many Conference Championship (2) and Finals appearances (1) as Nikola Jokic's AND Giannis Antetokounmpo’s entire career.
LeBron is getting more criticism in year 23 for losing 2 straight after being up 3-0 than prime MJ did doing the exact same thing in the finals in 1996
LeBron James has 13,378 more points, 6,881 more rebounds & 7,427 more assists than Michael Jordan in 660 more games.
"Longevity" you say. Not impressive.
To match LeBron's current career totals, MJ would have to come out of retirement (again) and average the following over 660 games:
20.3 PPG - 10.4 RPG - 11.3 APG - 65.8% TS
MJ would have to produce like a more efficient version of Magic Johnson for over 8 STRAIGHT SEASONS, on top of what he already did, to match LeBron's career.
LeBron will never be as loved as Jordan, but he is the superior player.
Wow. Refs miss a goaltend against Duke, Dixon lets them get an earful, and gets a T.
Equates to a four-point flip when you account for the official not doing his job correctly. The kind of thing that prevents you from working a Final Four. Can't miss those calls in these games.
A Duke player punches a TCU player in the face and draws blood. No whistle, either because refs don’t whistle against Duke or because Horned Frogs are known to shoot blood from their face as a natural reaction.
@bballbreakdown@XavierHarkness@JakeAndBall You’re isolating his actions in a game and not considering the other 90% of interactions that he has with these kids. EQ isn’t about not pushing, it’s knowing when and how to push to produce the best results. And this dude clearly knows how to produce results.
"It's a question of revenue. I'm not an idiot."
Steve Kerr doubles down on his desire for a 72-game season to improve the NBA product.
"To improve the product, we would actually have to make a little less revenue. Not really an American concept anymore."
This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
It’s important that you understand what happened last night.
Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.
In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.
CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”
In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.
But censorship always backfires.
Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.
