don't be an idiot.

I can't stand LeBitch, but he's one of the greatest players of all-time, and if you can't admit that something's wrong with you.
He's dragged awful Cavs teams to the Finals. that team he had that got swept by the Spurs would have finished dead last in the league if he's not on that team.

Is Klay a superstar? I don't think he is. Neither is Lamelo Ball.

James Harden was the correct answer until about 2 years ago.

Now? Probably SGA, not because he's not very good, just because we haven't seen him do it in the playoffs yet. He can obviously change that this season.

There are people saying that he should make first team All-NBA over Luka which is absurd.

There are 4 locks for first team, the question comes at the 5th spot.

Jokic
Luka
SGA
Giannis

The fifth is probably Tatum or Brunson, so he would be on the team over one of those two, and he definitely won't be.

None of this has to do with this season.

Either LeBron or AD are definitely overrated this season, because if they are both top 15 players (like they will be ranked when the All NBA teams come out) , they would have more than 47 wins with the amount of games that each of them played.

Absolutely false on Trae Young. Probably false on Klay too.

Trae Young

Quite possibly the worst defender in the NBA. He's supposed to be an incredible 3 point shooter right?

6 years in the NBA. 3 point percentages of 32%, 36%, 34%, 38%, 33%, 37%. League average is usually around 35-36%.

So he's a terrible defender and an average to above average shooter that takes anywhere from 8-10 threes a game. Pretty good assist numbers but he averages over 4 turnovers per game.

Trae Young is nowhere near "superstar" status and never has been.

Klay was close, but injuries and age leave us with a Klay nothing like that. Nobody thinks he's a star, let alone a superstar, in 2024.

Bradley Beal…oh wait, you said superstar. Whoops.

Beal has the worst contract in the NBA.

Trae Young


Two consecutive years over 25 points per game and 10 assists per game. (The three years prior, he went over 25 and 9.)

Seven players in NBA history have been at/above these averages for a season.

Three players have done it multiple times.
Oscar Robertson (5), Russell Westbrook (2), Trae Young (2).

He's putting up all-time numbers with those Hawks rosters that are not built for efficiency. If he played with high-scorings bigs, he'd be even more efficient.

Still hurts every time thinking the Hawks had Luka and traded him away for Trae
