Hey guys. We're all delusional Pacers fans. But this dude isn't a delusional Heat fan.

 

Lol If you don't like hearing another fan base being positive about their team. Don't post on a site that is gonna be mostly Pacers fans. Even if you claim to be a Pacers fan. You come off way more like a Heat fan

Well except I'm also a Pacers fan sooo.... And I've been more of a Pacers fan than a Heat fan since Wade left. Especially since I can't stand Jimmy Butler or Tyler Herro.

Would love to see the comparative data on earnings vs current net worth.

100%. No one like him before or now, the length, crazy height and wingspan to go with exceptional mobility, vision, elite skill all around, handle, moves like a guard but can block and dunk all over anyone, incredible facilitator, outside shooting, his game is without any holes. All he needs to do is get stronger, he’s only like 20, just amazing-

Think of him at 25. If he stays healthy he will dominate the League, Hell it’s already clear no one can stop him one on one and he’s still getting better. It’s nuts

Remember watching a couple of his games last year and thinking he had a chance to change the way the game is played defensively in the same manner that Curry changed the way offense is generated. But that’s wrong because kids can be trained in a Curry-esque fashion even if they’re not him but Wemby’s utterly singular. No one can duplicate that.

A shockingly self-aware Twitter thread. I kept scrolling for “Yeah, but…” guy and didn’t see one.

I love Bogdan. I bet his point lines quite a bit during the NBA season. It's a bit of a roller coaster, but his hot nights are a joyous experience.

My favorite example is Payton Pritchard dropping a hundred in the Portland summer league. The difference between those guys and even really good HS and college players is the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it:

His pace is just unbelievable. He's currently at 4,365 triples in 1,103 career games. Never has been, likely never will be another like him.

Dude’s 1 of 1. Putting aside greatest player stuff, that guy may have changed how the game is played more than any player ever. Even guys like Jordan were evolutionary. Curry flat led a revolution.

Woj leaving ESPN to GM an A-10 school. I assume St Bonaventure is his Alma mater. Good for him.

Embiid in the top 5 is nuts. I don’t care how good you are, dude’s averaged 55 games a year for his career and you cannot be a top 5 player missing 1/3 of your games.
