The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[spiderjericho]

Jimmy Butler. Jalen Brunson. Donovan Mitchell. Lebron James. Steph.

Those NBA.com voters must be based in Philly.

I guess that's what happens when you have an accent and no taper in adam silver's NBA

Ice Ice baby!! Adam is the real Slim Shady.

Keep the AS rosters at 12. I like capping it at 12 for the elite entertaining snub debates

Fixed that for you

 

[RustyShackleford]

I feel like more AS spots and and All NBA teams would only screw the non-max guys because teams would give them less money to due to the millions they would now have to pay annually in incentives.

The salary cap is about to explode.

Everybody gonna eat, b.

Plus, the NBA is gonna add more teams. It is comparatively harder to make All-Star and all NBA from generations ago. But these accolades are still used whenever co.paring players from different generations, and come HOF voting. The fair thing to do is add more spots.

If you want to take care of the non max guys, then other things can be altered like the mid level exception

The additional teams compared to the past and the fact that two more are coming is a great point that I had not considered. I agree from a compensatory point of view that it would make sense to add like 1 more All-NBA and 2 more AS spots max.

From a legacy point of view I where I struggle. Yes, people 100% use those things when comparing legacies. However, I think it’s up to debaters to remember context when using those accolades in discussions. Like no one talks about how the Celtics won 11 of their titles when there were only 8 to 14 teams in the league. You just have to hope folks have intellectual integrity and consider the differences in eras when comparing across them.

I hope the Pelicans are a lottery team this year.

They will be

Won't have to worry about a pick swap soon

 

[HIM]

Get rid of the all star game

 

[lawdog1]

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Except Draymond was doing what he was doing during a run where he was DPOY, 2X All NBA, annual All-Defense lock, regular all star and winning championships. The nut punching is completely unacceptable but outside of that he earned the right to talk that talk.

Eh, both great role players doing sucka ****.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Won't have to worry about a pick swap soon

Zion will be back after ASG. not worried

 

[WASHED KING]

Zion will be back after ASG. not worried

I see 6 more losses on the calendar until then

 

[dman14]

Stephen Jackson thinks he was in real life who he was in 2K. And he wasn't even that nice in 2K. Ginobili was still better than him.

man swears he had a kobe-esque career

 

[tupac003]

Damn

Dudes still crying about Harden not making the AS game

harden at 7th but not in the ASG

Make it make sense

Harden shouldn’t be anywhere near this list,Freak and Bron should feel more disrespected.

 

[HOU$TON]

Legit a joke. Harden has been getting the short end of the stick for a while now though so nothing new.

 

[getback]

Dudes getting "MVP Race" as accolades now? Scary hours.

If you have James in your name you will get disrespected by the media.

 

[JD617]

Cherry picking one game in an 82 game regular season is definitely the best way to determine who the MVP is.

I remember back in October when Philly lost on their home floor to the Middleton-less Bucks, and Embiid shot 6-21 for the game and scored 0 points on 0-7 shooting in the second half, and was a -10 in a game his team lost by two.

Wasted a great Harden performance too.

No way they can give the MVP to Embiid after Giannis kicked his *** like that.

 

[HIM]

People are looking at that MVP ladder and asking how Harden got left off ASG roster. I'm looking at it and wondering why tf Harden is #7 on the MVP ladder.

 

[storm2006]

Eh, both great role players doing sucka ****.

Dillion Brooks is a role player and an evil, worse Danny Green. Draymond Green is a HOFer and leader of the New Media. Them both punching folks in the nuts and both being players that constantly chirp is where the comparisons end.

Klutch Dray is miles ahead of Dillion BROOKS.
