@@ashch5867 As do I, imo this is the best, debatable for sure though! Don't need advertisement when you're part of a syndicated network, they advertise their upcoming features and that's it. Also the Bet MGM portion is so integrated, doesn't feel like advertisement.

When Tatum has 30 points, people say he's underperforming, that's a pretty good indicator of how good even his detractors think he is.

[@Themayseffect]

This year is unquestionably his prime time, he looks like a 10/10 player right now. So saying 30ppg is low average for him. It's kinda honest. But he also has a great cast as well.

[@superdopehiphop]

Tatum has been awesome for someone 19/20 to 24/25 years old and I’ve been going to 30-60 NBA games live (great seats center court row 9/11/13) since Reggie’s rookie year (87-88). Very few players ever have been as dope as Tatum from 19-25 years old!

Stop this bullshit of retiring numbers. By 2040 guys will only wear 67? 58? Numbers have meaning in sports. And they represent athletes you grew up idolizing. You retire all these numbers and NO ONE gets to use them EVER? This is sooooo stupid and elitist. Players already have STATUES, HOF RINGS... EVERYTHING! Let the new players of each generation choose their number ffs...

[@SirCruxful]

⁠@@crls1few players get their jersey retired less than 200, and it’s almost always only for their own team. Only Russel has his number retired by the entire league. Maybe in another 200 years if people play basketball it’ll be an issue

[@crls1]

yeah dude? The Celtics have TWENTY-THREE retired numbers; Lakers have THIRTEEN... and guess what? They are always similar numbers. It won't be a problem 200 years from now, in fact it's a problem now, because for every number taken, regardless of team, is one less number for a player to pick from that team, THAT'S THE POINT. @@SirCruxful

Love the Pacers/Haliburton love! Pacers season ticket holder since 87-88 (Reggie’s rookie year center court row 9/11/13) and this is one of the most exciting teams ever! For better or worse (as their defense needs to get much better) as their still young, but you can almost guarantee the game is gonna be fun their in! Top5 league pass team for sure! Carlisle has gotta start playing Mathurin 30-40 mins consistently! In 37 games of 30+ mins in his career he’s 34 mpg, 21 PPG 5 RBG 2 APG 46/35/83. Haliburton is 3rd on basketball reference MVP tracker now for a reason! 25 & 13 assists on 50+/40+/90+ is insane! Ehhh I don’t think this is necessarily the last stop for LeBron. He’s going wherever his son goes. I could also see him going to the Mavs. I would love if somehow my Pacers added him. Pacers, Cavs, Mavs all need a 3/4!
