It definately has. One of our big national TV networks bought the rights to show NBA games, which has helped (previously it was broadcast on a smaller channel/network). The local teams are getting more popular too, but the level they play at is.. well.. not good. Would love a Danish player in the NBA.

If we combine the Three Alphas with Trust the Process, we potentially could create new carbon-based lifeforms.

No, because he didn't get pushed out because the pieces didn't fit. He got pushed out because parts of ownership got shook and the league applied pressure. Porzingis would've been a really really good fit to have, but from what I've heard ownership actually was against picking him although Hinkie was interested.

I got my bro a shirt that had a bust of Hinkie on it and said "2013-2016" on it and he got to wear it to the game for Embiid's debut where everyone high fived and celebrated over Embiid, Simmons, the Process, and Sam Hinkie.

Porzingus was his first choice by far. Ownership said no.

Is there a source for this or is it just more Hinkie fan fiction?

quote:

Marc Berman of the New York Post is reporting that Sixers ownership preferred the top three American prospects in the draft (so, Jahlil Okafor) over Kristaps Porzingis:

Sources have indicated Philly ownership was gung-ho to take one of the Big 3 — Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor or D’Angelo Russell — because taking another unknown European project may not have sat well with a disenchanted fan base.

As The Post has reported, Knicks president Phil Jackson would have done the same thing as Sixers GM Sam Hinkie — chosen Okafor over Porzingis. According to a source, the Knicks were still concerned about Okafor’s “defense, lack of shot-blocking ability and poor lateral speed,” but still had him higher on the board than Porzingis.

Hinkie also had been over to Europe twice to see Zing before anyone else.

Having a discussion with someone who said Rubio isn't a top 10 PG. A defensible position I guess though I disagree, but then he named Jrue Holiday, old man Tony Parker and Rondo as players all better than him.

Help me SAS, you're my only hope.

Parker and Rondo certainly aren't better than him at this point in their careers. Holiday might be, but there's always the health issues to consider with him.

It very much is a slam dunk? It's not close, none of Magic's or Bird's seasons have even approached Curry's, unless you strongly believe in those guys having an unquantifiable defensive presence that narrows the gap. Which is an insane thing to believe.

Bird had a few seasons that were comparable and played much better defense than either one.
