Shit this is valid

It’s bigger than just OKC

Bradley Beal would have had another terrible season without Westbrook. maybe leading to him leaving Washington for LA

I could think of a million other reasons why PG would wanna leave OKC 😂

Westbrook moved to LA and look how well that went

That’s a fair take.

Great take

i wanna disagree, but this is true

No

some players transcend that specially those like lbj and giannis who works extremely hard

Bring back the dislike button, or we riot

Bro, get back to work, what are you doing in the comments section

This isn't a hot take, bring back the dislike button

Bring the dislike button back

fuck man if you bring back the dislike button i’ll pay for your premium or whatever

hell yea

On god tho

Highkey brother

It basically is at this point lol

I half disagree n agree because i think that players on bad teams can seem that there better than they actually are since noone to help them they have to carry but yea ur kinda right

Nah. If you list out the star players in the 2000s and compare it to now, it's not even close. 2000s was the most talented era, and I say that as someone who preferred 80s and 90s hoops.

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.

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.

So the player surrounded with stars will have problems to vin MVP

@@natashakuzmanoska9656 yes because there it wouldn't be obvious who makes the greatest impact.

But he lost to Poland scoring only 16 and fouling out in one quarter and a half... Euro MDP : Most Disappointing Player. Edit: thx asud 😭

@@asudd I meant Poland 😭 Idk wtf I was typing lol

@@BenDovahkin it happens no worries. but that loss shouldn't really matter when 2 other MVP favorites lost early. Jokic losing in round 16 and Giannis also losing in the same round as Luka doesn't seem to altar their MVP Candicy, so why should it affect Lukas?

agree

That is not a hot take that is actually true, impact on D is harder to measure

Because you cannot make a really accurate measurement for overall defensive impact.

This is especially true in players like Dennis Rodman and Joe Dumars.

This is accurate tbh

Yes Luka bad devin booker

Not necessarily they would be in the post without out how good they have been co pared to last years team I think that’s a key difference and they got a couple of players who can give luka a break as well the Spencer Dinwiddie trade really helped them a lot

guess we'll find out if this statement is valid come playoff time

@@sebastianalvarez8872 I didn’t mean to say bad I meant and sorry

FLUKEa is overrated AF he just hogs the ball to pad his stats and to hide he can't play off ball. Dude is also worst defender in basketball and will lead the mavs to another first round exit.

Indeed

The Thunder were never going to be able to win with the team they had and that shot made them realise that. now look how bright their future is looking. I'd argue he saved them from being a middle of the road team

@@ash-__- idk cause that shot alone made paul george leave kd left and the team went downhill after that

It’s very impactful, but that’s just the showiest aspect of it. His numbers are off the chart as a whole - PER, WAR, offensive win share, defensive win share - and mark him as the clear MVP.

@@Kaddywompous brother your the reason people hate jokic

It's even more insane when you look at his season long stats and see he's still an MVP level player and people have him 10th on their lists now

mikal bridges held him to his worst shooting night of all time and that put him in a slump he couldnt fix until after the all star break

man if curry just kept playing liek how he had for the past 6+ years he would've had this MVP in the bag.

@@daisy5497 You could say he’s playing at an mvp level but he’s not over Jokic, luka, embid, giannis, or booker.(you could also debate derozan and Tatum over curry for mvp)

he tried so hard to be on top of career 3pt shots made in short span of games this season but it didn't come out as planned

Hot take: Dell Curry passed his ability to pick women to his son....

This isn't a hot take, and it's not just the NBA. It's the general hypocrisy of professional sports fans/teams all over the world.

Fuck it's worse in sports where they don't even pay you enough to survive playing the sport you're good at. The whole Simon Biles thing really put a lot of things in perspective for me.

This isn't a hot take - this is a fact.

Jimmy actually has a similar video from some years ago, about the most impactful injuries in nba history fx Curry's glass ankles and The Curse of Golden State

The video is called "4 moments that changed the nba forever" from 2 years ago

You could also throw in there the modern training of the younger athletes more and how It can be affecting that

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.

He was legendary though.

@@Kaddywompous He was absolutely legendary, that still doesn't make it right.

Exactly. The only thing that makes Stockton look good is longevity and playing with Karl Malone. Lebron absolutely claps him when it comes to sustaining longevity.

@@atulganesh7944 Stockton owns 5 of the top 6 highest assist averages in a season, It's not just longevity why he holds the records he does.

that man is just racist

I’m a Boston fan and I *LOVE* that squad! It’s the only one that’s happened during my lifetime and I bloody love KG, Allen and Pierce anyway so the fact they were all on the team is awesome. I was 1 (turning 2) when they won but I still like it! I’m a Minnesota fan too because of my dad so Garnett is royalty in my books Edit: I just realised I prove the point in this video lol, my bad!

Facts.

This is something Jerry Krause would say

legit

This is so true it’s like the raptors and the lakers

@@ervinxhemali2487 the lakers? what the actual fuck 😂😂😂

I am happy you pointed that out

Actually he would have won one more if it's counting total pts💀

Finally some educated basket ball fans.

thats more narrative than facts, kd is pretty underwhelming when it comes to being clutch. other than that, truly great player

When shut gets hard he goes to join another team*

His championships came from a super team route, every other time he's had a team he's failed.

Contrary to popular belief KD is one of the worst players in the clutch.

The way people just make shit up lmao, trying to paint KD as a guy that steps up when shit gets hard is hilarious given that after losing to the 73-9 Warriors he literally said "fuck it" and joined them. When shit gets hard he runs to join the team that made it hard for him

LeBron's definitely more adaptable & easy-to-build-around than MJ

​@@saeedbaig4249 True, I feel like MJ is better for a franchise that is already established unlike LeBron who's more of a versatile player.

Quicker? LeBron looks like he’s moving through pudding.

How is the player who will be your best defender and also score 30 points a game "hard to build around"?

@@HobbesJnr Jordan’s not a better defender than LeBron; LeBron is a more versatile defender thanks to his size & bball IQ (and was robbed of DPOY in 2013)

Easily the MVP in my eyes

@@NotGoodAtFantssy jokic takes it for sure

@@charliehaug6710 jokic is good, but he’s not exciting.

@@NotGoodAtFantssy I think it depends on voter fatigue, if they don't want to see Jokic get it again than Giannis will ( he also has a higher seeding in his conference) however I think Jokic is having a better individual season

@@jayden6975 exciting shouldn't matter tho, it's not a dunk contest

True.

i think anyone who paid attention for 5 minutes will agree

So my question is what would you say have been some of the least interesting seasons? The ones where Golden State just bowled over everyone?

@@bryanchandler3486 considering the last 20 odd season has featured about one of 8 different teams in the finals and nothing else, you’re kind of right

Not all of us can see real talent tho . They just look at 3 pt shots lmao the dude has gotten significantly better year by year since entering the league

W

good take right there

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

i second this. I believe that sports have evolved so much that there’s no such thing as a bad team anymore. There’s at least one All-Star type caliber player in every single NBA team. players chemistry is not a problem anymore as most of these players have played together or against each other one In high school &/or in college. look at the regular season stats. look at how competitive the East is now when five years ago people could say the East was not competitive at all. 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.

@@jonnyhendrix7930 bro you could go on and on, grizzlies, hawks, mavs, Celtics. so much young talent it’s insane. The league has improved so much with the depth in all their rosters

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1P3A2pbfsnE.html look at this prank🤣🤣🤣

Only in watching Duke fall to UNC has been as fun as watching Lebron's superstar ego team implode like the goddamn Hindenburg.

ok

Davis hasn't even played well when he's been in the last two years so he doesn't qualify either way.

Love your Good/Bad/Atrocious takes videos. These are always bangers

luka

But the Suns are winning not by Booker completely dominating and carrying them to wins, it's much more of a team effort and great coaching even though Book is having an MVP caliber year

Jimmy?

And everybody is like " hey, lonzo is bad"

That’s not a hot take that’s facts

vovavic and lavine should step up not lonzo what would he do avg 9p3a

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 :

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

only problem with this is as soon as a big guard 1or shirfty guard gets matched with him he cant do anything to stop them

cap

@@vn3xt He’s average size for the PG position and shooting guards are only a couple inches taller on average. Statistically, the Warriors’ defensive rating improves when he plays.

I would take Jordan lebron wilt kaj over steph tho

This is a great take, if I had to choose I’m taking either Curry, or bill russell both have GOAT level portability and will fit seamlessly into any system making their teammates astronomically better

@Ben shut up

I agree, the only point I would bring up when starting a new franchise is KD can’t stay healthy. That’s killer for a new franchise, though it hasn’t really hurt kd. Maybe in this alternate reality it would though 😂

He’s not under appreciated. He’s just not accomplished. Players like KD show why Lebron going to the finals 9 times is crazy. KD should be the one doing that shit.

@@program-xz8rb hmm, that’s an interesting perspective. You may have a point. But is that a health thing (like the guy above mentioned)? Regardless of the reason you make a good point.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Lmao. This is wrong

im a warriors fan, and i think its more around 6 or 7/10 I think we are better but we arent very consistent

Maybe 6-7 times outta ten, as a warriors fan

Definitely hot lol

mmm if Wiseman is playing i dont see rim protection being a problem tbh

Whats that then like 1 year ago?

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.

@@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.

@@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.

@@CrimsonKobaNakirigumi well you are looking over Malik Monk and Austin Reeves. They were the bright spots. Fyi. They had KCP, Kuzma, Caruso and COULD SIGN A GREAT GUARD but Lebron insist for Westbrook. That's how troublesome dealing with Lebron
