Zion Williamson’s best skill is actually his defense

Thanks for the link. I think I remember this being referenced.

However, I don't think this was the consensus by any stretch. (Him being a great defender).

But, yes. I did ask for A source saying he was.

Just did my first 5K post Covid. Walked the first 2 miles and ran the last. Didn’t really have much fatigue but HR during that mile run got as high as 200 before going back down once I stopped. Wasn’t winded at all

Be safe out there

Easily the worst NBA season of all time. Hopefully the Lakers/Nets Finals makes up for this debacle.

There were analysts, commentators, scouts, etc praising his defense all the way till the draft IIRC.

Praising aspects of his defense but the general consensus was not, "He is a GREAT defender."

Even worse. Analytics has destroyed that sport more than it has basketball. Football is the only great sport at the moment.

What don’t you like about basketball?

What don’t you like about basketball?

I love basketball, the sport. I don’t love how it is currently played in the NBA. And I don’t love load management. Also, the bubble was cool, but playing games in empty arenas is just dumb. There’s no excitement. I get it from the health perspective, but as a viewer, it’s terrible.

I get the fans thing, but it doesn’t bother me. I’m tuning in for the product on the court. I do wonder if numbers are juiced this year due to no fans in the crowds screaming at the players. We’ll find out next season.

If the game was played with more all around skill and effort, I wouldn’t care as much about the lack of fan involvement. It’s all 3s and dunks/layups. Tons of dribbling, poor defense, stars sitting out. It sucks during the regular season. Hoping the playoffs change some of that.

I mean... maybe to some but not everyone as I posted above.

You make a lot more sense in here than in the Niners thread bro

Coming from you, I’ll take that as a compliment both ways, because if you disagree with my 9er takes, I know for sure I’m on the right track.

Right now you on the wrong track, most everyone saying Mac > Fields but you insist on playing the field(s)

Cant wait to throw it back at you on 4/29.

Still the wildest Steph related convo from this season

I still believe that that This current Warriors team has a better supporting cast than those 2007-2010 Cavs, 2006 Lakers and pre-Pippen Bulls teams . I will admit that the difference is that Steph is facing better competition, this Western conference is stacked.

I know it's frustrating, but a leader shouldn't pout. Run back on defense.

Laker Legend. My man spent all day schooling the youth on trigonometry and algebra then hung 19 on the Rockets that night Inspirational.



Fun Fact: Andre Ingram has as many career total made three pointers as Ben Simmons....

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Not at all, I don't believe they will make it.

I took your response as you having hope that they would.

Me: They Won't Make It
You: They Will Make It

Oh, I was bout to say I'll take that 200.

These the statements I need answers to

NOBODY wanna see a Stephgod team in the playoffs...

Who said those things

Who said those things

It was wavycrocket . There's no real way anyone can Juelz their way out of those takes. We all get lost in the sauce at some point though. It happens.

 

[BIG FISH]

Dudes were def gassing the Warriors before the season started
Lot of the same dudes that were slandering the 2019 Lakers at that

 

[Zo gif]

Going out sad.
