I mean...really...I don't think basketball could conceivably be any better than it was in 2016. Let's consider the following... Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon went loving crazy in the Slam Dunk Contest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3qJFjlDvKY The Warriors overtook the 95-96 Bulls with their 73rd win in the regular season finale... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TprLol3mfG0 ...and were overshadowed on the same night because Kobe Bryant dropped sixty goddamn points in his final game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdGeXcJ-hfo Steph Curry beat the Thunder in OKC with a 35-foot pull-up three that was all manner of  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhtpppMxfQs The Dunk King, which featured in no particular order:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_gNDA3wv1U&t=1s BELIEVELAND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o_4fKmD6eo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX0bT-kpuEU The Process was taken out back and shot in the head https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fWyzwo1xg0 Sam Hinkie then wrote one of the greatest letters of all time in response. quote:The NBA can be a league of desperation, those that are in it and those that can avoid it. So many find themselves caught in the zugzwang, the point in the game where all possible moves make you worse off. Your positioning is now the opposite of that. Marcus Paige put North Carolina even in the NCAA Championship Game with some circus bullshit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR8Io8Dz6nM ...which was then followed up by Villanova running one of the most perfect end-of-game plays ever to win the thing] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7FFJUz0tdo Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett wrapped up extraordinary careers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL1sORY3Kh4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mhUlZl3tyU Joe Lacob said this: quote:“The great, great venture capitalists who built company after company, that’s not an accident,” he said. “And none of this is an accident, either.” [...] Craig Sager finally got to work in the NBA Finals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ygkuFlEhHI Joel Embiid actually played a real game of NBA basketball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfEZ7IG4RJg Russell Westbrook started the 16-17 season averaging a Triple-Double, proving once and for all that Kevin Durant really was holding him back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNEoPpUg0W0 There were dunks to be had https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7OCnjf71hI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0NYVf6_ekA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcLch7wRJkM Kevin Garnett got his own cuss button on TNT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0bvDjrQVOo Buddy Hield shot his way into our hearts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uK4EwZfZ1s Talented young 4's and 5's are bringing the big man back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giRNTmRmHfg The U.S. took the gold medal in both men's and women's basketball. Pretend there's a video that the IOC let you watch below Wayne Selden's uncle got excited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rflacrKP_4g And last but not least, the Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_wEs9x7G3w I have probably forgotten some things, so feel free to add them in our celebration of all things ball from the previous year.

It took a while but Grayson Allen finally got what he deserved. Well almost, no one beat him within an inch of his life, but it'll do.

The Bulls missed the playoffs for the first time in eight years, they got rid of one of my all-time favorite players, traded away a guy i thought was going to lead them back to glory and he also became impossible to root for and almost retroactively ruined every positive memory he generated, they brought in my least favorite NBA player who is terrible and rotting the team from inside, Bobby Portis turned out to be terrible, and Luol Deng looks washed up. Terrible basketball year.

Crazy Ted posted:On the other hand, he also did this: His freshman year he didn't get a lot of playing time so when he came in and did something super athletic it was notable. Also that he looked like Ted Cruz. His sophomore year is when he started tripping everyone and filling the role of "white Duke player everyone hates", he's not close to the Laettner level or even Wojo/Redick but he's a solid Paulus right now.

The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead -at home -in the NBA Finals -with the unanimous MVP -to a team that spent every second pre-LeBron being a living punchline It was the greatest thing that ever happened in sports.
