Hot take: Kawhi leaving the raptors was low key one of the biggest butterfly affects ever and no one talks about it.

Have to agree with u man. Literally every team has at least one player who can go nuclear and drop 40 or more points in a night.

i had the same feeling some time ago, normally half of the teams wouldnt have any intangible talent in their rosters, but today even bottomfeeders like rockets have jalen green, pacers have haliburton, even wagner/anthony makes it promising and detroit has cade, all of these guys have all star potential. not adding the 1000 picks thunder ahs aswell.

[@SDesWriter]

My take.....the league is mostly full of players who specialize in something that keeps them in the game at this level while the overall ability of the player is half-ass at best. The league is soft with multiple rule changes to discourage defense and the possibility of stars getting hurt. For every KD that goes into traffic to take a higher percentage mid-range shot, you've got 5 hacks who are afraid to go to the rim on a fast break so they pull up at the 3 point line and shoot with 3 defenders under in the lane. A handful of real great and well rounded players, and a bunch of guys putting up stats while not being guarded or who padded their stats for years by excessive traveling and kicking their legs out to get get foul calls. LeBron is the current generation's "GOAT" and he flops like a European soccer hack.

There were 27 teams in 1989 to 29 teams in 1995 to 30 teams all the way since 2004. However, the NBA has no reason to make more teams and try to start new franchises as economically it wouldn't benefit them much to start over with new teams that would take a while for anybody to actually get invested in.

The thing about that '08 Celtics team? And maybe my favorite thing to ever happen in the NBA? They flat out made the Lakers quit in game 6 of the Finals. Let me repeat that. They made Kobe Bryant, one of THE all-time NBA greats with one of the fiercest competitive streaks and killer instincts to ever lace 'em up just quit. Like, not take it a little bit easy in a game they were clearly going to lose. They made them lay down and die, like a dog who goes and hides under the porch when he knows his time is up. From the wiki: "Boston dominated in numerous statistical categories, including rebounds (48-29, with a 14-2 disparity in offensive boards), turnovers (7-19), steals (18-4), assists (33-16) and blocks (4-0). Five Celtics finished in double figures....the Celtics only turned the ball over seven times and set a Finals record with 18 steals, and every Boston player who saw action scored."

[@BlyGuy]

Most NBA stars don't care about the fans. MJ famously said how he could never take a game off b/c there were people in those stands who waited/saved up for years, just to see him play once. In addition, I think back in the day, most athletes played different sports year round, meaning different muscles were getting worked out at different times and no particular body parts/muscles/tendons were being overworked. Today's athletes are mostly made to focus on the one sport that gives them the best shot at a scholarship and directed by their parents to just focus on that, 365 days a year, which means certain body parts getting over worked and susceptible to injury.

[@Jrtowns1]

i second this. I believe that sports have evolved so much that there’s no such thing as a bad team anymore.

Look at the Nets. Have one of the best rosters yet they have to compete in the playing in order to make it to the playoffs. Now look at the suns. Three years ago they were one of if not the worst team in the league. No they have the best record in the league. Same thing with my Milwaukee Bucks. We literally developed one of the best players to ever play in this league and went from one of the worst to the NBA champions. And now is serious contender every year for the championship. The only difference between the Suns and the Bucks is that the Suns acquired a veteran all star, and most likely a Hall of Famer, who instilled resilience and confidence in a young team. But Devin Booker is their developed star and they would not be anything without him in the roster. The league is in its best years and I don’t see it going down anytime soon.

lavine is also playing with a bad knee rn. so they cant really replicate the same transition heavy offense they had in the start of the season :

[@dxfifa]

Hot take: Lonzo is not a good playmaker in the half court so your whole comment is bunk

[@Pjctk]

You should make this into a mini series I would love to hear more of this 👍

[@JacobKnee]

Hot take: Lonzo might be one of the most impactful players this season when u look at Bulls record before he got injured and when the season's ended

As a Bulls fan, it really hurt them losing Ball and Caruso cause they brought defense, hustle and Ball can run offense and one of our best shooters

[@carlpatrickragas2159]

When the casuals been talking how this 2022 Lakers is a squad. I said it straight face that this group has no chemistry at all. Bron is a good playmaker and on court leader but not on elevating the morale of the team and make every big egos accountable.

[@CrimsonKobaNakirigumi]

@@carlpatrickragas2159 Dude they had DeAndre Jordan as their starting 5 for a while, chemistry was the lesser issue. Sure their big three didn't worked well, but outside of them they had no players. They knew AD would go down and Bron could too and they went to a retirement home to look for their backups. The team was built like trash.

[@jarhead3571]

@@carlpatrickragas2159 I immediately knew Westbrook and Melo would bring them down. I didn't understand the hype and should have made bets with my coworkers, I would have made some serious doe. These guys are offensively inconsistent, don't play D, and don't have a winning attitude.

[@fabianstohr1080]

Hot Take: The Greatest Rebounders Ever are the ones with the highest Rebounding Rates instead of Rebounds per Game. Yes, Tim Duncan is a better rebounder than Shaq.

[@s_ame1135]

Eh. Duncan played 100+ more games than Shaq. He has the benefit of longevity (which is outside of the consideration of being a better rebounder) so obviously Duncan will have a better rate. That's the same logic as with the point averages vs total points, it's unfair to say that Duncan is the better rebounder than Shaq just because of the total number of rebounds alone if we factor in their games played.

[@fabianstohr1080]

Thats not quite true. Rebounding rate (= Rebounding percentage) includes the number of games played ( or even more exactly : the minutes played) in the formula.

[@s_ame1135]

@@fabianstohr1080 So rate = the proportion of rebounds per game and games played? If that's the case then I concede.

[@fabianstohr1080]

The formula is is bit complicated: 100 x Player Rebounds x Team Minutes Played) ÷ (Player Minutes Played x (Team Total Rebounds + Opposing Team Total Rebounds)) Nevertheless it does cover, the minutes a player has played ( and so the number of games a player has played if you look at it career wise). So yes

[@jameshayse1903]

It's really hard to judge, because in different eras, rebounds have been different. For example, in the 60's and 70's, because it was a big man's league, often rebounds were harder to get around the rim because players worked harder for them (because they often resulted in scoring so boards were more valuable). In the modern 3pt era, on average rebounds are longer, so you can't just park under the hoop to get every board. So I don't think you can really debate rebounds across eras.

"Certain teams get more attention, Lakers, Celtics, etc. no matter how good they are. This makes them better in the long run because they can always recruit a star no matter how dog-water their team is."

3:52 Lol, from 1987 to 1998 it was pretty much the Michael Jordan Award... the only gap being the two years he played baseball, and in those years, no one scored more points than he did in the same season he won the scoring title. That's nuts.

[@nahshonchettiar2494]

The take about the Celtics is so true like i started watching basketball in 2014 and the way the people talked about the Celtics beating Kobe and them being a crazy good team I really thought they had like 2-3 rings I was absolutely shocked that they just had 1 and it was sub-par af.

[@flyyyguysky]

I never knew how I can become a bigger basketball fan, but this guy proved me wrong

[@AugustAPC]

I think the scoring title should factor in the amount of games played. If a player plays significantly less games than the others, then he has less games to keep up to have to stay consistent through. Comparing significantly different sample sizes is inherently flawed. The shooting percentage should also be a factor for a multitude of reasons.

[@williamfranzen8548]

U have to play at least 58 games to be eligible. Lebron isn't gonna be able to win it this year

Hot Take: A Healthy Warriors team beats a health suns team 9 times out of 10. The warriors bench is deeper, their offense is better, and their defense is better. The ONLY reason why it's not 10/10 times is because of the warriors offensive consistency and weakness in rim protection.

Hot Take: Lebron is like a firework. Though when he is on a team they are spectacular and always have a chance of winning, and usually leads to at least one championship. Once he leaves, there’s nothing left, and the organization is in shambles due to him fitting all pieces and the future around his play style.
