Where would you rank Jalen Brunson as a player currently?

Depth being the reason you win =/= having depth. Again ask yourself how many teams have won an NBA championships without a top 3-5 player in the league?

Why? I didn't say teams with no depth win championships. I said teams built more around depth instead of top end talent typically don't win historically. How many championships have been won by teams without a top 3-5 player in the league? You can probably count them on one hand Knicks...

yes historically the NBA has been much more of a "strong link" sport aka you need to have a top 3-5 player in the league to win. its generally pretty rare to win when your best player is lets say a top 5-8 guy. i do think that's changing tho, with the way the playoffs are officiated, how...

i didn't say you shouldn't respect anyone. I respect all those players, and there great performances. ...while observing that they get a little extra credit.

im pretty loath to call people chokers. I think it's often lazy analysis because it's more fun to come up with emotional/psychological explanations rather than dry basketball strategic reasons. but I think in this case they choked. I think its like 90% booty tightening. 10% bad matchup.

Baffling design choices. They randomly decided to use the Honestly Nevermind album cover for a Knicks championship shirt?

To be clear Jalen Brunson is an awesome player. Just like Isiah Thomas is an awesome player. I'm just saying we tend to give extra credit to the best player on deep teams because depth usually doesn't win NBA championships. I'd even argue Kawhi Leonard gets an extra boost while being a best...

I said he's going to be historically overrated because that's generally what happens when you are the best player on a team built on depth and continuity. Maybe Ill be wrong, the future is unwritten. But I'm just pointing out this is the historical trend.

Jalen Brunson is about to become overrated historically. This always happens when you are the best player on a championship team built on depth and continuity. Isiah Thomas is the greatest example of this.

If he comes back next year with a dirk fade or a sky hook or something to go to in the half court in clutch moments he can get back on that trajectory. But if not he's like an a billionaire version of Anthony Davis or David Robinson.

Basketball gods demand sacrifice for the herrendous clutch performances by the Spurs over that entire series. And that sacrifice has to be Wemby. Old school sports media would be killing him and the Spurs for being choke artists and Wemby for not having the clutch gene. Also he probably...

:lol Nigerians really hate south Africa. :lol:

Fox with the disaster class performance. No notes. Some of the worst point guard play I e ever seen.

Fox is point shaving. Gotta be.

Fox is soooooo bad.

allowing tons more physicality actually puts more power in the hands of the refs, because they need to subjectively decide what illegal contact rises to the level of a foul.

Harper kinda reminds me of a young Manu.

nba referees are the worst. :smh:

oh my bad, can you imagine if the ref didn't blow those calls? knicks would be down 20 instead of 30!
