The Top 25 NBA Players of the First 60ish Games

What sticks out to me:
  • Luka at 21 over Klay (24)
  • Westbrook at 20 (Beal & KAT over Rus)
  • Ben Simmons at 17 (I ain't mad)
  • Bron & AD (10 and 9)
Top 5:
  1. Giannis
  2. Harden
  3. PG13
  4. Steph
  5. KD

Interesting. The LA Times also put out a column today debating whether LeBron really is still the best player in the game. It’s happening...even for non-ALA/Bron Hater people...
 
They courting. This Love & Basketball.

Yup. However, pre-groin injury, the Lakers looked like a playoff lock. I'm going to think that LeBron will do what he can to bring this team to the Playoffs and this narrative will change.

We’ll see. Going to depend a lot on whether he can stay fully healthy the rest of the way. They’re 3 games out of the playoffs with a tough, road-heavy schedule to finish the season. LeBron’s going have to perform at a really, really high level to get them in.
 
Nike designing has been kinda trash for awhile now

Yeah, the PGs are ugly as heck, the Kyrie's look like a recycled version of the previous years. LeBrons are unique and original, I can give em that.

However, Adidas has been killing it this year with both design and performance. I'm actually super impressed.

Dame 5s and Harden 3s would outperform any current Nike shoe. Dame 5s has an Adidas Kobe 1 vibe to it.
The TMacs are really good performers too, but they look ugly.
Marquee boosts are decent performers but look great (looks more like casual shoes)
N3xt L3v3l looks dope as well.

I'm really liking the direction Adidas is taking while I feel like nike has taken a step back this year.

I can't wait for the Kobe 4 Protro tho.

17 of the Lakers last 25 games are against teams currently in the playoffs including HOU, MIL x2, DEN, TOR, BOS and GSW. Bron better just shut it down and start copping pleas now because playoff prospect are looking kinda bleak.

It seems like Bron isn't motivated this year if he can't compete for a championship.

However, there are multiple incentives to make the playoffs:
- His legacy will take a hit and the media backlash will be so high on him
- Get his young team playoff experience which is so so important
- If the young guys perform well in the playoffs, that just heightens their stock price for AD trade part 2 lol
