NBA Season Thread 2017-18 - Page 104 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

is this for 3s only? For some reason I feel there is somebody out there who is certainly better than Kyrie. Oh, duh. Durant, I'll take him over Kyrie and Dame all day in any form of shooting. Kyrie is a hell of a shooter, but he is quite streaky. And for him it would be strickly 3s as well.

edit: funny, I decided to do my own research and without clicking on rosis link I found what ended up being the same article and was like huh. Thats interesting. I suppose I don't pay enough attention to CJ.

was thinking mostly 3s. i considered durant, but i feel like he needs to be more in rhythm (b/c his handle is not as tight)

edit: i agree durant > irving and lillard if we are talking all jumpers

Yea, I think Durant is the best all around in-game shooter in the league. When I say in-game, I mean Curry is a better pure shooter but because of Durant's size he's able to take tough contested shots that Curry wouldn't even attempt and he makes them with ease. Plus hes a top 5 3 point shooter. Set shot, fadeaway, off dribble, catch and shoot. Whatever, ****er can hit em all. Might go down as the best shooter of all time when he retires.

This honor used to belong to Dirk

Even then, he was the man on a (bad) Utah team, so it's not like he was getting overshadowed or anything.

When we drafted him, I didn't expect much.

Then somehow between the draft and the summer league he drinks a bunch of nuka cola and now he's laker baby jesus, it's insane

Howard Beck article on Jokic's personality.

Interesting fact that some don't know, his big brother used to play in college ball while rooming with Darko.

It's going to be funny when Lebron uses that very quote in his post-game interview after sweeping Kyrie en-route to dragging his sorry team to the finals.
