KAT's longevity is something else man. I know he only played 35 games in the 1920 season but you have to give him credit for still being a monster on the floor over a century later.

[@freshgams427]

John Wall is a gem of a human being. Regardless of how things were going the guy always gave everything he had.

[@PSPUG_]

he was a good player js had mid teamates

[@cmattil]

John Wall is a person I would trust with my family. Good guy, good role model, great with charity!

[@hegotscents8823]

lol

[@avecashley6480]

John Wall was so beloved around the Raleigh area during his time at Kentucky and even beyond. I remember kids idolizing him just because he made it and he was from our area. (Which says a lot because this area is engulfed in Duke, UNC and NC state fans) he seems like a great guy!

[@brianmaldonado5127]

Honestly Anthony Davis has to be the best 1st overall pick since the 2010s, Kyrie could make an argument . Accolades wise as a basketball player he’s done everything, ncaa championship, gold medal, All-Star and all star mvp, all nba teams and defensive teams, nba champion,the 75 list. He’s met and surpassed all his expectations compared to the other 1st overall picks in the 2010s up.

[@uberexpress4268]

As a Kyrie fan i might honestly have to agree with this

[@thebeatleswin1]

Wiggins is better.

[@lacolem1]

@@thebeatleswin1 Wiggins best ball came when he was the #4 guy on a good team

[@pbyn153]

In the end, only Anthony Bennett is the major bust among the list. Fultz was almost close to being a bust but his role in Orlando really cemented him to become a great player without being pressured to play like a star, like Wiggins.

[@Phizzo4real]

Wiggins is no Fultz... not even close. But for that situation (where the pressure to meet expectations is off, you are right). Wiggins has had better individual career (forget the Chip).

[@user-py7uh3wj9d]

the entire game of basketball became a joke after 2015 2016 when everyone started copying pace and space of the warriors . No one in recent bbal matters , players were 10x more skilled back then and could actually play real defense

[@sethjackson2266]

​@@user-py7uh3wj9dYour whole comment's a joke just like 80s and 90s...1v1 post game because that's all illegal defense would allow because the NBA was trying to push individual stars really hard....league needed viewers...literally could help d or double without full commit and a guy standing wide open. It was literally made to only 1v1 in high post and that's why every t we am that had the best of that was on top...illegal defense shaped that wack lack of depth and skill era

[@reidmurphy9196]

I thought the same thing was refreshing

[@emil1989]

Imagine if Philly had drafted Tatum or Fox in 2017 instead of Fultz.

[@blender_wiki]

They may distroy their careers

[@ChrisTammaro-ks8fn]

No it was the trade to draft with Boston to get mar faultz and not staying At 3 for Tatum that did it,, everyone who trade with Danny Ainge is a fool,, Minnesota,, nets,, Philly and their was one more I forget but damn the Rudy trade Minnesota was about to be good,, Cleveland could of gave less too for spida one less 1st pic and okoro would have gotten it done ,, won't age well In two years

[@omarvbueno]

Actually Boston give that #1 pick because they knew Philly wanted Fultz and their target (Tatum) will be available at number 3 and they could add something useful with Tatum

[@DC-uf6ve]

Phily would have a crybaby on their team to keep Embiid company

Cleveland traded for Kevin love cause without love lebron wouldn’t want to come to clevevleld

[@LockdownK]

Lebron did need a good stretch forward to play with him!

[@mrbovinejoni7227]

The Kevin Love/Wiggins trade happened like a week or two after LeBron signed with the Cavs. He was gonna sign regardless. It was just a balancing of the roster.

[@phenomenal-fitness]

@@mrbovinejoni7227No LeBron used his clout. He signed short contracts there for a reason. This is why he got the nickname “Le-GM”. He got other guys there too. You think it was a coincidence that the same pattern keeps repeating? Lol LeBron gets his younger version of D-Wade and Chris Bosh. Then when everything falls apart, he gets a ton of established star veterans only to get them traded for younger players. Sound familiar? That would because that happened in Cleveland 2018 then with the Lakers just last year. In summary, LeBron was not going to sign with Cleveland unless he could pull the strings behind the scenes.

[@CappenKrunch]

Cleveland keptgetting the lebronless draft pick stimulus package

[@RiverRoughRider]

Now obviously I am a bit biased here as I am a Cavs fan, but I think they absolutely do beat the Warriors if Kyrie and Kevin are both healthy, honestly there's a chance they could've won it if only one of the two were healthy. If Kevin is healthy that means that one of Mozgov or Thompson are coming off the bench instead of starting and if Kyrie is healthy you don't have Delly starting or jumping from 20 minutes a game to 30, which means a stronger bench in any of the three scenarios of both, just Kevin, or just Kyrie being healthy. This also leaves out the fact that Anderson Varejao was also injured early into the season, which although he's not a star he was a starter until he got injured, he's not a huge game changer but he was a good defender and rebounder.

[@desmondthompson4834]

The way you portrayed John Wall has me wondering, why do some say he was a bust ? You stated he played great at Washington for a decade

Kyrie is still good when he plays, but he spends too many games in street clothes to be counted on as a 2nd option. This year has been a lot of Luka putting up historical numbers & unforgettable Masterclass performances just to keep the team in striking distance. The depth problem is not Kyrie's fault, but he is the one guy Luka needs to be on the court the most.

[@testostyrone33]

Wiggins never "crumbled" under anything. Butler bumped heads with Townes and Wiggins because they wouldnt bow down to him. Its the same reason why he (Butler) got booted out of Philly and Udonis Haslem was about to Knock him out during a game with Miami. Before the trade to GS, Wiggins was averaging 22ppg 5rpg and 3apg after 42 games. He didnt need any redemption and he was never anything remotely close to a "bust" with a 20ppg average after 6 years in the league. Youre regurgitating media generated nonsense.

[@helloman3676]

No Butler was right…if they would have bow down to him, they would have been more successful. Just look at GSW. They’re not leaders, great role players. Jimmy buckets is a true superstar.

Funny cause everytime I see New Orleans play, this kid dominates the game. He's extremely agile for a big guy and he often leads the break after he snatches a rebound and he's a very good passer as well and when he goes to the hoop nobody is strong to stop him from getting anywhere he wants. Talent wise the guy is already there. The question is will his knees hold up to the kind of explosive game he has.
