Oso planning to go pro
He won’t be the #1 pick, but I think he’s moved past the “overrated cause he’s a Ball” label. He’s been really solid in Australia and has impressed with his basketball IQ/unselfishness. He’s filled out and has nice size and a well rounded game, lot of potential from when he was scrawny and cherry picking huge stats against bad teams at Chino
Is Luka Doncic an athletic Larry Bird?
LeBron has 17 fouls in 13 games this season. 5 games in which he has not picked up a single foul. That's pretty remarkable.Giannis has fouled out twice and has 52 fouls in 13 games this season.Also, some of the Tweets that come out after every Rockets game showing the "fouls" Harden gets called his way are unfathomable.
I can't tell if this is supposed to be a compliment or slight. But Doncic is unreal. He's putting up stats as a 20 year old that are unheard of. He's a joy to watch.Tale of two player perceptions by officials. Harden is incredibly crafty and smart to be sure, but he baits officials into calls and gets more "anticipation" calls that anyone Ive ever seen. Meanwhile, Giannis doesn't get a star whistle at all. I think he had 5 offensive fouls last night? In a superstar driven league where those stars are officiated a bit differently, he's not seen that benefit as of yet. Ironic considering the All American who shares an arena with him who doesn't get a favorable whistle when drawing contact inside the arc either.

The NBA just wants to sandbag the Bucks season so Giannis wants to go to a big market. The Bucks just have been resilient thus far.
Doncic 22-5-5...in the first quarter tonight.That’s unbelievable. I couldn’t believe at the time the Suns, Kings, Hawks all passed (traded) on him. Three franchises desperate for a star. Think about how crazy it is to score 22 and have 5 assists in a quarter!
Very early, but Lebron playing MVP level. Lakers team to beat?
No.
Which Bird? Young in his prime Bird was very athletic. Debilitated by devastating injuries Bird, was more limited but still quite athletic.
I don't think so. Compared to us, he was athletic. Compared to NBA players, he was not.
Who is team to beat?

What does this have to do with jimmy?
Think he means Jim Boylen. I don’t know what “the city of big shoulders” is though.

After injuries and other stuff ruined his Laker debut year, LeBron is having a pretty amazing season.
