Kcp wouldn’t be kcp without the initials. Reminds me of the fact that I only still know about mcw only because he’s another initials guy.
Word. KCP is just for the name haha
Also, CP3, D12, PG13 :eek:

Westbrook because his motor is 2nd to none
PG13 because he stayed
Mitchell Robinson because he's the only young guy the Knicks can build with
Knox because I have to root for him since he's a youngin with promise but he has a long way to go
Ingles because he's a baller
DMitchell because he's a mini-Wade
Klay because he's the only likeable Warrior
Trae because I love his fight and how everyone gave up on him and he used it to motivate himself
Jokic because he has proven me wrong, I thought he was overrated but he certainly isn't
Kawhi because he plays the game the right way, the only thing is he is not a good passer
Khris Middleton because I like his underdog story, anyone drafted in the 2nd round and being successful is good in my book
Oladipo because he learned from Russ what it takes, sucks that he got hurt because he was the most clutch guy in the league
Beal because I think he is better than Wall but most people don't agree on that
DFox, I think he's the next Westbrook (well, before Morant comes into the league at least)
Jrue because he's a baller and shows up in big games
Wow that's a lot of dudes :oldlol: I don't watch them all, but these are the guys I like :cheers:

Except he's not. For one, he avoids contact at the rim when Wade as all about driving right at the defender. Secondly, he barely even gets to the rim in the first place. Wade never took less than 37% of his shots between 0-3 feet his first four seasons...Mitchell takes a paltry 22% of his shots in that range. These comparison to wade have always been bullshit.

Kyrie - Mamba mentality, insane ball handler and finisher
Embiid - Dominant big man
Westbrook - miniature freak athlete, a pinch of mamba in him too
Giannis - freak athlete
Kawhi - fundamentals and probably best on the planet right now
Drummond - Big man with a handle at least as of the past few games I watched
Zion - freak athlete, fascinating how such a heavy player can be so fleet footed
Doncic - perhaps the fastest mind in the game and only 20, sees plays before most others do making him look unguardable without overt physical
gifts
Ingram - silky smooth the few games I've watched of him, really like his playstyle
Rose - underdog story and still a great player IMO
Dwight recentlly... amazing recent performances and looks like the king of the court setting screens and communicating to keep everyone playing well without even touching the ball at times
I probably dislike Green, Curry and Hardens playstyles the most, because I feel for Curry and Harden their playstyles are so dependent on this era plus roping in Green dirty offense moves or dependent on illegal offensive plays like ones with moving screens, and plus Harden hooks players arms and drags them into the paint with him then they get the foul called on them. Greens leg kick. Hate Greens attitude too.

Players I like to watch...
Beverly because he talks trash and backs it up defensively.
Kawhi because he reminds me of Jordan. An OLD Jordan :oldlol: He's a throwback with incredible fundamentals. Elite on both ends too.
Doncic because the kid is all skill and brains. Mostly that anyway. Super crafty overall.
Lonzo when he's running the break or simply when his game is "on". He's a one-man showtime. A natural floor riser.
Dwight's another one. He's been a monster defensively, and on the boards. Never liked him before, but he's finally got his head out of his ass. And has accepted his "role". A resurgence from Howard, no doubt.
Siakam is legit. Ditto with Jokic although I don't watch them consistently. If Zion is anything like he was in college? And at times during the preseason? He will be right there too.

Westbrook because his motor is 2nd to none
PG13 because he stayed no longer true, fk this guy
Mitchell Robinson because he's the only young guy the Knicks can build with
Knox because I have to root for him since he's a youngin with promise but he has a long way to go
Ingles because he's a baller
DMitchell because he's a mini-Wade

Jrue because he's a baller and shows up in big games
Wow that's a lot of dudes :oldlol: I don't watch them all, but these are the guys I like :cheers:
Wanna add Frank Killa-ina. Absolutely LOVE his defense. He was the biggest reason they won tonight. I know the boxscore lovers will look it up and say oh wow Doncic lit him up. But no, he scored like mayb 5-6 points on Frankie. The rest was on the big men. Frank had Doncic lost, guy was turning it over. I mean it helped that Doncic was stuck on 9 assists so he was trying really hard to get the 10th :oldlol:

Fiba Frank let's get it :bowdown:
Also wanna add RJ to this, even though he was ass tonight :lol

Rondo cuz he trolls the shit out of CP3 and other people. has brilliant passes at times
Kanter, another guy who gets into peoples heads
Doncic, young prodigy
Beverley, if he played in the 80s, he'd fit with the Detroit Piston Bad boys
Zubac, another underrated young center
Hachimura, I had some doubts about him being drafted so high up but he's doing a good job
D. Rose and IT, quite interested in their resurgence after being down for so long
Wolves in general. I dont think they'll get to the semi-finals, but I like to see them succeed for some reason. I like KAT more than Embiid, even though I think Embiid is more talented of the two. But Jokic is the best center
Lopez bros, cuz Twins.
