His peak is not overrated, but his general prime years have gotten overrated recently.

Yolk out here GOATing again. I do agree with OP that Hakeems short comings are rarely highlighted, only his success is celebrated. He doesn't get one ounce of the microscope treatment other GOATs get.

On paper if you assume porzingas will be on the floor and cotm now likes nickeil. I wouldnt. No Bum to take his minutes i guess at least!

The thing that separates Kobe from Booker is strength and toughness. The thing that separates Kobe from Beal is size, footwork, and IQ. This post could only have been made as a troll, or having not watched Kobe. He was a demon. He had levels he could go to that these guys couldn't

Hakeem is overrated in general, at least on offense. He settled for jumpers a lot and his jumper was mid. When he was motivated and hitting his J he was incredible to watch but he wasn't a lunchpail guy who you could count on night in night out. He didnt always play well with others.

He was obviously joking :lol

He clearly meant that they are winners on paper. Obviously the games still have to be played...

No play-type player-tracking data prior to 2004-05. 2PT% and TS% are good general correlates for overall scoring efficiency. They're the best we can do, and they're worth a mention. They show that Hakeem had a lower 2PT% and TS% compared to the listed players. Why is that? Was he taking more difficult shots? Was he not as good at making shots? ...

That it remains to be seen who the winners are. Capela plays. Porzingas doesnt. Cotm didnt play nickeil on the jazz. He did play niang

What does that have to do with anything?

Unless you have numbers that isolate actual postup shots from him facing up in the mid range, I’m not sure what those numbers really show. When these shots don’t go in….

Hakeem career 2pt%: 51.6 Kareem career 2pt%: 55.6 Shaq career 2pt%: 58.0 Wilt career 2pt%: 53.8 Barkley career 2pt%: 57.8 McHale career 2pt%: 55.8 Dantley career 2pt%: 54.0 Jokic career 2pt%: 60.4

Wtf kind of thread is this?

No.

I'm not saying it definitely won't happen but any GM that trades a first round pick to pay 40mil per for a 3-and-no-D roleplayer is crazy.

Sixers were one of the big winners last year :roll:

Certainly looks like the worst team in the league. Way to go? :facepalm

We knew that when a tanking team took him on

Hoax!

:cheers:

It started way before that. They never recovered when they didn't draft Jordan.

Nets playing 4d chess out here, Porter surrounded by the best playmaking in the league is going to be putting up all star numbers which will greatly increase his value for him to be traded for more 1st round picks in the 2026 off-season

Covid probably.

here's a random eye test sample

RIP Smoke Angry drunk and most likely dead because he did say he was in the hospital and almost died because of his drinking, but dude knew his ball. I remember agreeing with him on a lot of takes.

Interviewees usually come in voluntarily for a job. You interview several that walk-in and choose based off what is best in front of you. You have no choice who walks through that door. In this case it's different. None of the Knicks first attempts were with coaches that were unsigned. They were requesting to speak with several coaches that...
