I see what
addict4sneakers
been doing over the years too
First it was
Giannis is just as good a shooter as Luka
Then it was Luka doesn't do a single thing better than Jokic
Now it's Tatum could be better
All semi valid claims
But I still see you

He still the one. Curious, when you say “this stage in his career”….are you just using his shooting splits from this season? Or are you taking into account everything. Including last year as well?
Teams will have to learn how to defend GSW again. Not the gimmick ****, they got away with from the later half of the 2019 finals to this March.
If y’all believe Jordan Poole is real (which he is)…and Klay is rounding into form (which he is).
You will pay for selling out completely on Steph Curry. In fact, most teams don’t have the stamina to trap him at half court all game, and scramble on defense playing 4 on 3…now with another on ball/off ball scorer/playmaker.

I was just joking with all of that
But I’m from the Caribbean, most of us can run.. we even got some white folks that got some wheels
If I see a white person in a situation most would assume should be an all black situation, they there for a reason

Yes, Tatum has advantages over Luka I was making the overall broad stroke of playmaking being the deciding factorI found

Washed King is a LeBron Stan and I'm a biased Warriors fan. If you'd pay attention, we're the complete opposite. I actually despise some of his biased comments and avoid responding to it.I found

I mess with Luka. That boy good. I think some of his “rankings” are relative to his age and production which is absolutely fair.
But he today isn’t better than KD and EYE can’t see what he’s done to put himself ahead of a Tatum or a Jokic.
He is him though.

It’s like 8 guys in the league who are great on both sides of the ball and I give them all credit.
Y’all can keep them musty one way players

Nah I just mean literally right now lol. It's a different stage in his career, I mean everyone gets older they get mileage
Like, he wasn't in discussion for MVP, he's prob not gonna get First Team All NBA, etc.
That's what I mean when I say it's hard to frame him because obviously he is still up near the top. Placing him is different depending on your criteria

No you're all good here, this is by far the most entertaining thread on NT and I wouldn't ever take anything to heart on here.

Nah man, nobody said he better than KD yet lol. But yup until Luka makes a deep Playoff run y'all gonna be able to hold it over himI mess with Luka. That boy good. I think some of his “rankings” are relative to his age and production which is absolutely fair.

It'll happen sooner than later though!

Me and the homie were having a discussion, Booker or Tatum who you taking?
I said Tatum. Booker, which I may be wrong, seems more like a system player? Tatum seems like he can be but also can go Kobe on you (better than Book).

Tatum has more of an impact so I'd go with him

Booker aint no system player but Tatum can "go Kobe" maybe more so (debatable though) because Tatum's 6'8
It's still a valid question especially since both burst into the MVP convo later in the year and both have claim to First Team

I would take Tatum. He seems to lock in more effectively and I think Booker let's **** bother him too much. I think Tatum is more athletic and skilled too while Booker is probably a slightly better shooter.

Booker a better isolation scorer, so might be a hair more value against the absolute best defenses.
but as an overall player it's def Tatum.

It’s kinda crazy too. Cuz he had a down year shooting (which would be a career year for someone like Dame Lillard)…and still led his team to one of the better records in the league…while his core running mates each missed 40ish games a piece
, and the entire team slumped/got injured at varying points. I think he still up there with the very best of them. And def in that convo for best in the league. Pretty easily I might add.
The young guys def leveled up tho.
