It's early days, but wouldn't it be interesting if Porzingis wins the FMVP? Basically slept through the playoffs then swooped in for the top prize. :yaohappy:
I saw this pointed out in an ESPN article. They even played on the court together as a twin tower duo at times.
And in fact two key Nuggets from the 2023 championship - KCP and Jeff Green - had just come over from Washington before the season.
According to the article, the past seven title teams have included former Wizards, among them...
He has been the most dominant player during these playoffs and if he does lose in the Finals, it's only cause he played against a superior team. Has only happened once in history, and I think it should happen again. He is the best player on the court. To give it to someone from Boston just wouldn't feel right.
Not to beat a dead 3ball horse, but lets be real, Lebron having Kyrie and Love on Cavs is way better than Luka having Kyrie and PJ Washington.
Love back then was coming off a 25-14 season if I recall, 2nd team(?) and some MVP votes.
Instead of PJ Washington, who would a similar player be? Maybe KAT?
And Lebron did do the same thing with...
He's no longer on team MJ and is now a Klutch minion in disguise - he now calls Jordan and Kobe "just scorers" (classic Klutch propaganda).
Broussard also says that guys like Kobe, Kareem, or even Clyde Drexler aren't on the "best sidekick" list because they were 1st options for the "majority" of their careers, but then he puts perennial 1st...
with Michael Cooper induction and Gobert's basic sanctification as a Hall of Famer we can now look at other criteria.
-2X All Star
- Gold Medalist
- NBA Champion (could get a second)
- KAJ award winner
- 3 time Tywman-Stokes award winner
- 6 time Defense All-NBA
They are going to have Holiday on Kyrie or Luka...he might be the pivotal...
He grimaced top of the 4th or end of 3rd Quarter.
He was taken out and didn't go back in long long time.
Luka's knee as I predicted may not last entire NBA Finals.
even that last 2 pt missed floater 8 feet from rim had no lift in his knee.
I recently came upon a website that has league-average points per possession statistics for possession contexts. There's overall team PPP, After Made Shot PPP, After Def Rebound PPP, and After Turnover PPP.
The league averages for the 2023-24 regular season are as follows:
Overall: 1.14 points per possession
After Made Shot: 1.10 points per...
When the Celtics win this championship. Everyone will copy how they play "5 out offense". Originality will be dead since this is the most simplistic offense in basketball. When everyone sees just how easy it is to run. They will never switch back to anything else. Its a role players paradise. They can thrive in this type of no skill offense...It...
New basketball documentary series premiered the other day on VICE TV. It's no 30 for 30 production wise, but it's okay.

EPISODE 1: Reign Men - Seattle Supersonics
EPISODE 2: Pistol Pete
EPISODE 3: Bill Laimbeer - The Baddest Boy of All
EPISODE 4: NBA Jam
EPISODE 5: Scam Dunk...

If you don't want to watch all of it scroll to 39 minute mark.
The cargo ship she was on , I saw going under the lift bridge in Duluth .
My wife and I vacationed in the UP Grand Maria sand dunes , and walked miles on beachs without a person seen.
Some ship wrecks were right up by the shore.
I hope that the Cs don't feel too overconfident about themselves this time. That's what sucked about tatum in the finals two years ago, when he tried 'reaching out' to kobe before early in that series. Only to get embarrassed in the end.
