THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[lawdog1]

There's some reporting that they're going to try to use KAT like Jokic, and KAT's been focusing on his guard skills

Not just dump ins or pick and pops but the ball handler in PnR's

Has KAT shown Jokic’s kind of passing skills? I don’t remember thinking he was great passer in any game I’ve seen him play, but that’s probably no more than 15 games.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

KAT is so damn talented individually, but idk if he can have a Jokic like impact.

Jokic literally makes everyone around him better.

Just glad they’re going to try something new, especially if it means testing just how good he can be

Melo was always a B grade Superstar player.

 

[shogun]

Melo was always a B grade Superstar player.

A few years ago some were saying he was top 3 in the league, those people were definitely high.

KAT ain't nothing but a new DMC

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Makes a lot of sense. Also, unless I missed it, Melo has never said he’d accept a bench role, right? I know he rejected the idea when he was in OKC.

He accepted one last season with Houston.

 

[CDFTDOT]

A few years ago some were saying he was top 3 in the league, those people were definitely high.

At his prime he was probably top 10 (7-10 range).

He played against Kobe, Lebron, Wade, CP3, Dwight, KD, Dirk.

They ain't as bad as AI fans though, I know a bunch of AI fans that have him in their top 10 of all-time just because of how he changed the game on and off the court.

No. Jokic is one of the most skilled passers in the history of the league. KAT can try to facilitate and whatnot, but he's not going to do it with the same ability of Jokic.

Jokic is basically what we heard Arvydas was when he was young.

Bleacher Report this week listed Isiah Thomas as the 10th best PG of all time

Didn’t even have A.I. as a top 20 guard

Y’all agree?

Eh jokic kinda slow I'd say old arvydas is a better comparison. Young Saba was out there crammin on folks

His achievements this Summer very well might have locked him a spot in the HOF...

 

[B Sox]

His achievements this Summer very well might have locked him a spot in the HOF...

Just decided to look up his career stats and accomplishments...

Can someone explain to me how he won DPOY in 2013 but was only on 2nd Team All Defense that year?

1x NBA Champion, 3x All-Star, 1x DPOY, 1x All-NBA 1st Team, 1x All-NBA 2nd Team, 2 Olympic Silvers, 2 World Cup Golds, 2 Golds 1 Silver and 2 Bronze in Eurobasket, 1x Spanish League MVP. Solid resume. I think the international stuff definitely has to matter.

 

[ballinsam23]

This was the year of the international players for sure.

 

[geno90221]

OG Pistons Isiah??

Yes

 

[j rain]

Suns might be decent if Rubio can keep this up. World cup MVP

Just Googled, both DPOY and All Defensive Teams are voted by sportswriters and broadcasters

They year Gasol missed on First Team, they ******* had a tie between Chandler and Noah so there were 6 guys and 2 centers on First Team

"On four occasions, the Defensive Player of the Year winner was not voted to the All-Defensive first team in the same year. Player of the Year winners Alvin Robertson (1986), Dikembe Mutombo (1995), Tyson Chandler (2012), Marc Gasol (2013) were instead named to the second team."
