People were extremely pissed because Booker was like one stat away from a triple double or something and then jimmer got in the game and chucked like a psychopath and blew it. Suns fans hate jimmer

to be fair, that is incredibly funny

Honestly it’s just that Nurkic was either overrated in Denver (I can’t remember his play there that clearly) or the injuries ruined him. On reputation a front court of Nurkic and Covington should mean a decent defense regardless. But he’s clearly slow and unable to compensate for a backcourt with both Dame AND McCollum letting guys by.

nurkic is really, really, really good when he’s healthy

he’s just never healthy

y’all don’t mind if i kramer into a discussion about assists do ya

sometime in the 70s (post big o pre bird/magic), the rules/guidelines for scoring assists got changed. it used to be that players weren’t supposed to get credit for an assist if the player they passed it to did anything besides take a shot. so if they dribbled or posted up or even got into a triple threat, no assist

this changes sometime around the introduction of the three point line. in light of this, oscar and will’s achievements in dimes are actually even more impressive than they look

do you have a citation for this?? i've never heard this. I'm watching this highlight package now (pro click btw) and a bunch of his assists are with the guy taking a dribble first

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0EPblJCcM8

it’s mostly anecdotal, i remember reading it a long time ago; i was trying to find an official rules change or anything like that but it’s the reason that guys like cousy were leading the league with 7 assists per game despite teams playing way faster back then

i’ll see if i can dig something more concrete up

i think some of that is just that mj has always been himself and forces around him moved heaven and earth to keep people from seeing that until there was no risk of him ruining his image and loving up his checks, so the people that dislike him now dislike that he was a competitive sociopath and for the person he was, not for any perceived hypocrisy or social trespass that elevates people to “villain” in the public eye

also as you said in another thread mj is just objectively cool and tom brady is... not. the bulls also had more personality (save for a brief randy moss pitstop and vince wilfork) although that might just be hindsight

Kd cares a lot

i should rephrase: he doesn’t care about doing things that would make people like him. he wants the lebron clout where he can do whatever and people will still admire him and make excuses for him, but he doesn’t want to be a goody two-shoes company man like tim duncan

honestly i think he’s mad that people never loved him and will never love him as much as russ despite kd being objectively superior at basketball, but it’s all armchair psychology

the kings were running a lot of princeton sets though and that’s been around since the time that princeton university basketball wasn’t a joke

plus the great innovation of the kings was that they had two bigs who were excellent passers rather than being exceedingly athletic or mobile like the ssol suns

+187 minutes, captivating for all of them
+beautiful cinematography (all natural lighting!)
+came out in 1975 (great year for movies, dog day afternoon? 3 days of the condor? one flew over the cuckoo's nest? jaws?? you kiddin me???)
