That’s crazy I thought I was the only one that noticed . He definitely wasn’t saying anything about the rings or accepting them just cuz he felt like he wasn’t apart of it as like he was involved with the clippers. But now I see he’s saying he won & just accepts the fact a lot people don’t get a ring.

Austin Rivers efficiency is insane! 68.7 TS% this year and 62% in playoffs! In WCF he had insane 55/56/100 splits while averaging 21, 5, 4! Ham was a moron to not start AR15 since opening day! As soon as he became official starter in March he averaged 18, 6, 4 final 20 games of the year on 72 TS% (57/45/88!). Jackson doesn’t know a damn thing. Nuggets literally couldn’t bring back Bruce Brown Jr and in season tournament is literally no added games at all except 1 championship game. I agree with him on the tree part though it should always be legal! Also it’s ok Jax you don’t like Bron stand on it.

Facts

[@improbablyyourdad8458]

Instead of an in season tournament, the league should've implemented an end of season tournament that replaces the current lottery. Have the worst teams play each other for draft position. The final teams will be the 1st and 2nd pick with the winner taking the 1st. This would incentivize teams to actually want to win. Even if you're not good enough to make the playoffs, you'd need to that can compete in the draft tournament.

[@youtubewatcher6124]

A contender team that decided to tank would be too unfair for those lottery teams, for example the Dallas Mavericks They got a superstar in Luka and obviously they would bulldoze all the bottom teams there I don't think this will be a good solution but it will be entertaining too tbh

[@improbablyyourdad8458]

@youtubewatcher6124 true, but I think the worst teams in the league would be incentivized to build better rosters. Rn teams purposefully build trash rosters to tank. This system would at least force those teams to try and be good enough to compete. Also, it could be one and done. That way, teams would only have to beat a team once to advance, like in college. Anybody can beat anybody on any given night.
