Dude just creates reasons to stay on the floor, whether or not his offense is on fire. What a coach’s dream.

AR strolling through with another 50% FG% game like he’s Greta going the the supermarket for her weekly groceries.

We’ll trade you Darvin Ham and send you a free bagel too

Huh why would you want to do well this year? You have your own 2024 pick. You also have a bunch of other 25-27 first round picks that you can trade to build a contender when Wemby is ready.

Bron might retire with the Beijing Ducks if they draft Bronny lol

All LeBron on that play

AR just plays I swear this dude has no fear of the moment

AR is that guy who heaves the half court buzzer beater every time without worrying about the impact on his 3P%. Had he made the buzzer beater he would be the Lakers leading scorer on 1 of 2 players >50%

It’s generally pointless to talk about players as if they are pieces you can plug and unplug from systems. This sort of tall is usually imported from the talking heads on sports media, and that’s because they know the average viewer isn’t intending in watching an academic basketball lecture. Therefore they craft these ludicrous narratives around individuals.

If you follow college basketball and follow players that tramsfer, you’ll see that a player’s performance is largely a by-product of the role they’re asked to play within a coach’s system. Even an all-time great like Harden is largely impacted by the system he plays in.

Absolutely. It’s the LeAnthony LeBrons.

What the fuck is lebron on

Reaves crossed that boy so bad the refs thought Wood pushed him down lol

Good ol’ Vibranium from the Miami Clinic!

KING

Man the Blazers are really pressing Reaves

Thanks! Being just terrible enough to ride the bench and sit in film does have its perks 🤣

In all honesty though, this is really elementary observation and I can really identify stuff as it happens when watching live. Professionals can guess what’s going on on the entire floor just by seeing a small segment of it, and know all the textbook counters at their fingertips.

Yep give it a few seasons, he’s not even into his first full season of getting minutes.

Even a high pick like Tatum who ran starter minutes from the go needed a few seasons to learn the schematic aspect of the NBA. Remember when he was jacking drifting long 2s in his second season?

Nah, he’s just not so exceptionally quick e.g prime Rose who can basically ignore defenses. This is most players in the league.
