National Basketball Association - 2022/23 Season (Part 1)

Hope Zion can get healthy enough to demand a trade to Dallas. He has been insisting Dallas is the best road city all week.

A star who might be less reliable to play than Kyrie?

Why is Vin Disel introducing the all star game?

Ok fine I’ll watch them draft

Hold on, were there hearings about approving the nickname “The Finisher” for Lauri Markkanen?

The audio is a disaster, get it together TNT

Complete cluster lol

It sounded like Kenny and Charles talking shit backstage

JJJ going to be last reserve?

LBJ starters objectively better but LBJ, Embiid and Jokic on the floor at the same time could be funny

NGL, when I turned this on 55 minutes ago, I thought we were five minutes from tip. Jewel, post Malone and the other singer sounded good.

Fun fact: Mac McClung’s uncle is former Brewers reliever Seth McClung.

Ok, maybe it’s only fun to me.

Giannis with the expert pick to start the draft. Took Dame before Jrue to butter him up so he’ll go to Milwaukee in the offseason.

Continuing the combo:

Bucks fans are terrified that Giannis is going to play with a sprained wrist.

#1 NBA Snitch certainly calls travel, but AS (no) rules

He’s the G-league dude who’s in the G-league because he can’t and won’t dunk on people. And it might be too late because you have to get over that fear when you’re younger.

I gave this a lot of thought back when I watched him in HS, and again recently after this dunk contest: in HS he played like he was afraid of getting bridged and suffering a career-ending injury, which is a totally reasonable fear that got compounded by how good he was. He didn’t need to attack the basket and finish like that. But at Georgetown it became real apparent, when there were so many spots that ended up like, ok, there are two 6’10 dudes standing there, and you’re 6’2… but you have a fucking 50 inch vertical just ram it in their fucking faces, that’s not showboating or being flashy, it’s the literal best shot given the parameters.

It’s a weird situation, because most dudes who can jump like that need to dunk on people, starting young, as a main part of their arsenal because they don’t have other skills yet.

Bucks look outstanding - every shot is a good shot.
