    Teams did not score a ton back then. And virtually very few 3 pointers.

    MJ didnt have Russ's power. Russ is 1/1. No other player like him in history.

    Basketball Adrian Peterson.

    Not worse than the Brickari Backboard shot from the corner. Boy thought he was playing MTV Rock n Jock, going for the 25 pointer.

    He deserves a Jabari contract. And Jabari deserves a DFS contract.

    Obligatory "I told you so" lol. "Best defender on the planet" no chance. Though I'm glad at least he's one of the few players not pussying out and turning into a b**** in this Lakers series, so that's a positive.

    Holy ****, he really is Jalen 2.0, they're doing the "youngest person with random stats" posts to prop him up. Remember how they'd do a different one of these ***** every few weeks? lmao, meaningless nonsense.

    He hit four middies last night; 4 for 5 on jump shots outside 10'

    Also a few nice unassisted drives in traffic

    Having Durant this year really cost Amen some development time in the 10-15ft mid-range area. I think he can become lethal in that zone and work on the Shaun Livingston package.... and if you don't remember what that looked like, it KILLED us for years in the post-season. Just efficient buckets that kept the scoreboard moving.
