Kat is a better 3 point shooter than Jokic, but that's it. He's not better around the rim. He doesn't have a better shooting percentage? If you told Jokic to go out there and only score, he'd put up 60 easily.

KGs celts were feared, Heatles were feared, GS with KD was feared Fear is a factor

teams were scared of the warriors theyre a lot of reciepts of players not even wanting to talk about playing the warriros 2016-18" in the playoffs

Spot on, Jayson.

Most teams would pick jokic vs karl if u ask me.

Joker on top

Klay Thompson dad from the Bahamas, Buddy from the Bahamas either way GSW have shooters. If they let Buddy run the court would be littered with bodies.

Really! Five games into season? Your call.......

It’s going to be a crazy ass season!!!

trash video nothing was said about 90s basketball

As I said earlier, I am not a fan of Jason Whitlock. However, are you telling us that he does not have a constitutional right to free speech? Who are you to tell another man how to speak? I'm in agreement with you that I don't like a lot of what comes out of his mouth. But as a man, who are we to tell him to shut up or talk another way? Based on your criteria, you would have censored Jesus Christ, who often said things that the powers-that-be did not like at all, that moved them to kill him.

Jason Whitlock does not work for ESPN.

Not a fan of Jason Whitlock myself, however, on this one I do agree with him. DC's act to poke CC's eye was intentional. On the slow mo from X, follow the hand. It started out open, fingers spreaded. At the top of the swing, we see DC bunching her fingers into a point, and dipped DOWNWARD to stabbed CC's eye. Believe your eyes, my friend. Regarding CC's comments about the assault, she did so without seeing the angle that was shown on X. I would like to see someone ask her that question again after she seen that video. DC's hand movements, to take a spreaded hand and convert it into a point, was not a basketball play. I have not seen one commentator or content creator point out this salient fact. That observation seals the deal to show intent. Who in basketball history have you seen that done?

Caitlin Clark is 2024 ROTY & 2024 MVP!❤ AFTER 39 Games, Caitlin's Stats: Point Average Per Game: 38.07❤ Total Points Produced: 1,484.8 (ACHIEVED After 28 Games)❤ % of Total Points Produced per Total Team Points: 44.89%❤ MVP = MOST VALUABLE PLAYER NOT BEST but can be. Caitlin leads the league in TOTAL POINTS PRODUCED, which is the BEST metric that INDICATES the VALUE of a player to her TEAM. SINCE MID-JUNE, Caitlin & the Fever have been RANKED #1 OFFENSIVE team. Also, in stats for best player, which can be extended to MVP, is there any way to record the amount of blitzing Caitlin has had to endure this season, which also happens to be her ROOKIE season? How much Caitlin has grown in only 4 months, her ROOKIE season in the wnba, is nothing short of AMAZING. What is an even bigger WONDER is how much, through Caitlin's influence, the Fever Team has IMPROVED!❤ One more thing to consider for MVP, why is Caitlin #1 on the scouting reports and NOT A'ja? Hmmmmm NOTE: Caitlin & the Fever Team RELY SOLELY on their TALENT to WIN Games. The Aces Team, in CONTRAST, EMPLOY the HELP of BIASED OFFICIATING to WIN their games.😮 Caitlin Clark is 2024 ROTY & 2024 MVP.❤

Listening to a known hater but Ight

Paul George is not a 3rd option wtf lmao

In Lebron We Trust

Your comments are just as foolish as what comes out of the mouth of this generation. You just like Edwards are just digging yourself a deeper hole. You dont get the point. Magic is regarded as one of yhe greatest of all time. High school champion, college champion, 5x NBA champ. 3x MVP. Awardee MAN OF THE DECADE. In the finals 9 out of 12 seasons. Finals MVP as a rookie with no Karrem in game 6 to win his first chip. Check the win pct regular season. Playoff win pct. Field goal, free throw pct. Man of the decade. If you didnt live it , seen it personally. Then you really dont know what your talking about. And yeah Magic can talk, because he knew his history and had respect for the people who came befotre him. Check those interviews and see if Magic ever said something idiotic like this guy did

shorten your nIntro A....

I said the same thing today. Steve trippin. Why is KD not playing? We down 16 lol put him in!

It’s clearly something personal with Kerr, I don’t understand him at all. This why Kd left that team

Real TALK!!! It was on full display today against Serbia. And to think 39 yr old 6'9" had to hold Joker down the stretch is pathetic. Big ups to Steph, Bron, Embiid, and KD for getting the job done when it mattered the most!!!

Translation Steve Kerr have to follow the script and get Lebron the MVP. Everything is built around Lebron and making maybe one of his Last Olympic runs Look special. Its politics. Probably why Tatum had to sit out. 🤷🏽

Playing is playing. He is still a millionaire. He is still fine for life.

I hate Wendy's bum-ass KZbinrs try to use these people as clickbait to try to get people to watch your stuff who are you

The coach is correct

Big Bad Canada😂🤣

Hi Kuya❤

Hi Kuya❤

I’m happy you got to spend time with your family that sounds like it was a good time! Tibbs I think is your championship coach. He has found his tribe and hasn’t done that since drose. This group fits a little better with him they can be healthier this year they are friends and the players and coaches will fight for eachother. I think you got your coach no knock to muezulla but he isn’t any much better than tibbs. Yall got a lot of motion rn. I think team USA is exactly what went down in women’s all star game. The USA teams are chilling then the other side has a point to prove. Ogwumike/sudan and other teams want to prove team USA not like that and they belong/can take em down. This team is old and has to pace themselves so my criticism won’t come til they start disappointing when it matters. Also you are right it’s political but I don’t think in the same way. We need a team not names. This roster is names that do the same thing. Even if ky or Jaylen on the team that’s more guys that do the same thing. IMO Trae, Ja , Jalen Brunson(if healthy) should’ve took Hali spot and Scottie/Paolo really Scottie should’ve been on over khawi and dwhite. He offers something else everyone else doesnt and he has youth, energy, size, and versatility. KD should’ve been replaced if he can’t play. Haven’t watched Embiid closely but we could have gotten a better for the team/more healthy robert Williams, Jabari smith, jjj, or another name and let em bring in competition and raise the intensity even if they dont stay. We have to read the room this is no disrespect but these other teams are teams are not just names. Dennis, thies, Hernangómez brothers. These are good players but they fit and make sense not just names. We need to do the same as well. We don’t need big names for the sake of big names. Kurr is over coaching. Agree! It’s not hard and he needs to adjust. He said I’m committed to starting embid. Enough said. I think the way he handled Poole and kuminga are telling. He is validating his criticism. I’ve been really thinking about rim protection. I felt they were all wrong. I think a rim protector is someone who protects the rim, shuts down paint, has to be though about not feared, etc. I thought their convo was very surface level. There are multiple ways that you can protect the rim. Draymond, Kevin love, and Kyle Lowry are three the did it unconvincingly. These three have done it by smart/hard fouls, walling up, blocks, steals,strips/delfections, charges, good/smart/early/correct rotations, banging/fighting,rebounding, changed shots, jump ball, fakes/stunts, etc. you don’t need to be feared. These are professional athletes and put in work if you are fearing people your minds in wrong spot. I don’t fear capela or b Lopez but they are rim protectors. Also if you always have to say you aren’t thinking about someone saying you aren’t scared imma assume you are. Rim protection is a group project and a mindset. Everyone should rim protect but not everyone is a rim protection. To me it’s easy to determine if I could ask you or rely on you to stop people at the rim you are a rim consistently you are a protector at some level. Watch “Kyle Lowry drawing charges 2019-20” by always hooping. That proves my point. It’s typically a 7”0 guy but there are other ways to get it done. Guys have to think about were Kyle is at while headed to rim the same way they do for a shot blocker. He also is standing exactly where shot blocker would be and stopping em. We can consistently rely on dwhite to turn back 1-3 guys at the rim. That’s rim protection. He may not be the best but he is a rim protector at some capacity since you can consistently rely on it. He said Aaron Gordon and Gianni’s are and they do it exactly like Bron. I know Bron is a rim protector because he will a lot of times switch of ball to remain in corner and closer to the rim. Where he will rotate to make a play/stop. He is know for the chase down block which couldn’t be anything other than rim protection. If wemby and kd can be a gaurds little guys can provide/be a rim protector.

You made a great point I never thought about that. That was a very great insight. Before you made your points I thought yes everyday you should be with a trainer or group of guys. I would only go by myself if it was a time I just randomly went for more work or an intentional one. It’s good to workout without music or people sometimes so you can function without those things. You can get more done, when training with another player you can compete and go live, and you have more minds and knowledge to tap into. But I was thinking about it from having a good crew that they work with. Not everyone understands what a player needs, what he should be doing what his team needs, and the nuances you talked about. I say find one of those guys that do and don’t leave their side. For me as well I would like the trainer to train all levels. I think that means they are always learning and staying sharp. Rico Hines, Phil handy, Kobe, melo, nick nurse, muzuella are a few off the top of my head. Those guys I would try to work with all the time only going by myself intentionally. Those guys are what you said and if you have that use it but like you said some of these other trainers are too much. I also believe whoever got you there is who you need to spend atleast 30 percent of your time if you guys are still able too. Guys like ja morant or Emoni bates have great sources. I know that they can’t give you or elevate to an nba level but they got you there for a reason and a lot of the time they instill good mindsets. I got to see Emoni cause we grew up in the same city a lot of people had things to say about his team and his training but it worked so I say stick with what’s working even if it’s just debriefing after a game keep that going. Also since they put that much work in they should feel like they made it too cause they did. I agree players should stay away from podcast they talk too much. Duncan Robinson the Knicks and Chris Boucher do it the right way but some other guys should just shy away especially pg. if you not winning I don’t wanna hear your entitled delusion why you should get a max or your excuses for losing.

This team is composed of 4 of the 75 greatest NBA basketball players of all time and a number of today's best players of the game. This team, the 2024 Olympic Basketball team, is the seal-team six of basketball. With a team of that magnitude, while coaching is undoubtedly important, it's the kind of team that do not necessarily need a general to make the step by step decision on the basketball floor. Remember, it's a team designed not only to win but to win dominance. Admittedly, the basketball world has caught up to the US. But regardless, the game against South Sudan, leaves a lot of doubt. The team seems to lack the mamba mentality among it's players. High raise to Lebron for making the game winning shot but over-all, but luck it seems had more to do with the win rather than the team's performance. But a win is still a win. I hope the team delivers victories with a stronger punch and a whole lot of sweetness.

We gotta talk about what rim protection is im not sure if im Tripp but Gil and Keyon Martin had a clip that threw me off

Celtics

Came to this vid just to say lol. Please be serious brother.

Scoring wise the Celtics. Defensive wise the knicks

Because we know what we're watching, also KD is not the GOAT, but he is upper crust top 15 all time at worst, maybe top 10 depending on what you value more

I think the Knicks match up well with the Celtics! I think how this plays out is OG & Bridges will supress Tatum and Brown offensively while exhausting them when they T&B play D! While Brunson & Randle cook their defenders alive because the Celtics cant double team! My guess is this upcoming season the Knicks lock up the first seed giving themselves Home Court advantage vs the Celtics! Remember Porzingis had surgery and wont be available to play until after the second half of the season. Home Court and Health will determine who wins in this matchup!

Bro it's 1 game and u looking funny at Steve kerr..and he got 4 rings 🤣🤣....that lineup he said isn't set and stone....

Are you a Luka hater or just get your views from certain mainstream sports media? Luka doesn't dribble the ball forever. He dribbles until he has a lane, a shot, or someone gets open. It's actually a smart strategy to not always be trying to sprint to the rim. Luka and the Mavs may take the shot clock to one second left on three consecutive plays, but then follow it up with two fast plays. It's keeps the defense off balance. Actually watch some Mavs' games, because receives a lot of unfair criticism. He should have won MVP last year. He basically averaged a 34-point triple-double and finished 7th in steals and took the 5th seed Mavs all the way to the NBA Finals by beating the 4, 3, and 1 seeds in the Western Conference and he did that all with a laundry list of injuries (they also beat the number 2 seed, Nuggets, shortly before the playoffs started in a must-win game for both teams). In the playoffs he had the most points, rebounds, assists, and steals. He's only the second player to ever do that. The only other one was Jokic last year. In the NBA Finals he had the most points, rebounds, and steals. The only reason he didn't have the most assists was because he only got 1 assist in game 1, because none of his teammates could make a shot if their life depended on it. Luka had 2.6 steals per game in the Finals. The next closest player on either team was Brown with 1.6. The Mavs had a better def % with Luka on the floor than off the floor and held the number 1 offense in the league to just over 100 points or fewer in every game. So, even though Luka will probably never win DPOY, he is a solid defender that gets lots of steals. Lastly, the "Luka cries and argues with the refs too much" argument. Every single player argues with the refs when they get fouled, but don't get a call, or when they get called for a foul they don't feel they committed. When other players do it, it's"look at the fire [x] has. He is such a competitor." But when Luka does it .... "There goes Luka again." Sorry for rant. Luka is the best offensive player in the league right now. He'll win a championship soon.

Confused why you think he won't learn from the past. Presti has proved to be one of the smartest GM's in the league, would expect him to make the obvious call of not letting any of our young stars walk in free agency like Harden. The real question is to be answered by the teams owner as too how long he will be willing to go into and stay in the 1st/2nd apron.

You “keep wondering where the points are gonna come from” lol. They were 1st in 3% as the youngest team in the nba. Then you ramble about Caruso needs to shoot better, even though he shot his career high last year. If you understood the okc team you would know Caruso now has an easy job with a low usage rate. This seriously is the lowest iq take I’ve seen someone have the audacity to post online. Your lack of knowledge is astounding.

Idiotic take. Different era and different situation. Harden mostly played off the bench in OKC bud. He didn’t put them on their “spots” watch more games of the team you talk about before making yourself look ignorant.Your rambling having no idea what you’re talking about. Caruso and I Hart fit the scheme OKC does.

Scottie ain’t got no mvps brown and Tatum are way better….

What, you mean sacrifice his low assist numbers?

Klay is bigger than THJ and can set better screens. The pick and pop with Luka is going to be deadly. Now just imagine a double screen with Kyrie and Klay

Klay is a shell of his former self. He should be happy with 12-14 ppg

Racist BS 😂
