The rule change ended his career as a great player. He is now just another good point, period.

No the refs have clearly tightened up with the calls. They were allowing hand checking and everything for a while there now they're back to calling the game pretty tight. Had a feeling this would happen. No way the nba was gonna continue to let their stars be exposed the way they were.

Every star/superstar outside of Giannis, KD, Steph and Jokic was crying about calls to their GMs, president etc. Likely put a ton of pressure, refs have started calling easy fouls now in the last 10 days. The boys couldn't handle a little bit of physicality. :facepalm

It was only a matter of time until the officiating gave in.

I don't think that's correct since league wide FTA has not skyrocket.

It's because he's driving to score more and driving more in general. He also has more explosiveness now than he did before
