I'm kind of now doing my Luka homework, I didn't know he's been HIM for a good while now

I am not saying they were generational, I was saying based on your "Athletic with skills to match" comment from above; they would be considered generational. (But let's move past those two)

I said freakish body with skills to match, not super athletic with skills to match. The Wembys, the KDs, the Brons of the NBA.

The mistake of not drafting someone like this first will never be made in basketball again.

Then again - I don’t see a 16-19 year old doing what Luka did over there either. That never happens. They don’t even play teenagers over there, even if they are good enough.

This was such a peculiar situation that everyone failed to realize.

Generation is a player that transcendent on the court, whether that be shooting lights out, a big moving like a guard, someone using their athleticism to dominate, someone using their skills to outwit the opposition, etc.

Generational players are great with their abilities which can come in many forms. I consider someone generational when no one can really do anything to stop them but themselves and they carry on with this for most of their career.

Got you.

We need to take Wemby out of the equation then. He needs to solidify is career first. He could break down at any moment before he gets there. He is on pace though but so was Ralph Sampson.

I am not saying Wemby will flop.

Big facts, ala Porzingus. People were saying same thing about him, but after Wembys first season man…

Those Mike Miller comparisons seems so silly right now

No excuses Finals. Everyone going to be playing. Everyone's rested

Fitting

On vacation in St. Lucia right now

Gotta get some rest, relaxation and family time in order to prepare myself mentally for a world where either the Celtics win another chip, or Proud Boy Luke get his first ring

About to go to the beach and have a good cry today

I just hope no player plays over 40 minutes. They shouldn't have to face the consequences of a coach's inflated ego & refusal to adapt.

Give Neemias Queta a shot. See what AJ Lawson could do.

'Clipped' a fast-paced, well-acted retelling of Donald Sterling scandal

Fictionalized series worth seeing for spot-on performances by Laurence Fishburne as Clippers coach Doc Rivers and Ed O’Neill as the boorish team owner.

You can tell he just got done watching The Town again

So that definition would seem to exclude MJ, Magic and Bird. They all have body types that are not freakish by NBA standards.

Magic was a 6'9" Point Guard. In the 1980's.

He was a freak.


Meant in any way you wanna read it.

He was a freak because of the skills he had at his size. His body type wasn’t freakish for the NBA. That was the point being made. But thank you for chiming in.
