Towns.

On a somewhat related note, it's crazy how quickly Anthony Davis went from being the only young big to be crushing the league to one of several young bigs doing it. People use to talk about him in very unicorn-ish terms at the end of 2014/15 but over the next 2 years, Towns, Emiid and Porzingis entered the league and now he's kind of one of a group to me.

He's still very much on top of that group of guys. The league is in fantastic shape going forward tho with the talented bigs coming through.

There's a birds eye view of this which is also excellent.

Also I'll take Harden for greatest win share per 48 in the NBA.

I don't know why I always take the most obvious choice.

You know I respectfully disagree that he's very much on top. He has a little more of an injury history than 2 of them and a little less of a 3 ball than all of them. To me it's not clear cut.

Agree on both points

Now lets see him make a foul throw.

Kawhi for win shares?

Imo, all 3 of Towns,Porzingis and Embiid all have huge ceilings too and who knows where they get to but Davis is already at that level those guys hope to get to right now, the injury stuff is a real thing unfortunately so who knows how much that hurts him going forward. I just think lumping Davis in with those guys atm is a disservice for how good he currently is.

Bigger miss than Mudiay I'm afraid

The other thing we all forget is that most of those guys (yes I'm looking at Towns) have big steps to take defensively before they can be considered elite.

Its great to be a big than can handle the rock and shoot 3's, but you also have to not give those points back (and more) at the other end

Dirk McDermott

Steven Adams out with concussion like symptoms

 

[Drummer_19]

Just as an aside, NBA > NFL. There's like a 5min stoppage every 10mins for someone getting murdered.

 

[stewie griffen]

I can hate Rondo with the best of them, but that was a nice push and pass

Jeeezus

Yeah that was disgusting.

 

[stewie griffen]

Buckets on fire

Next play has him standing in the corner guarded by a 40 year old Carter

I have no words for how stupid that is

 

[stewie griffen]

For those unfamiliar with jokic

Bulls basketball y'all

Bulls basketball y'all

How about RoLo signalling to the stat guys that it was an assist....

 

[Greendogg5]

Oh yeah...

Todays quiz question.

Who is the NBA active leader in win shares per 48 minutes?

KD?

 

[Drummer_19]

Nice finish to this Bulls/Grizz game.

 

[jdz101]

Todays quiz question.

Either Lebron or Chris Paul.

Both guys have their teams severely suffer without them throughout their careers.
