James isn't really a regular season award kinda guy. he's a hoops guy.

One guy being overlooked is Milos Teodosic. That mofo can pass. Don't be surprised if he has a better year than Lonzo. I realize he's a much older and seasoned player, but he hasn't been talked about much.

Hate that the NBA does this. Sorry he was out all year, but he's not a rookie anymore.

Some good feedback this year. CC being #2 in the west according to the GMs is not a surprise.

Neither is James and chris both being ranked in the top 3 passers in the league. We said this last week in fact.

Also bye bye Davis on the 'player to start a franchise with' list. we hardly knew ye.

You would really hate the MLB.

Aaron Judge is going to win rookie of the year and he played in 27 games last year......

MLB does something similar.

I think only the NFL is strict about it.

Someone should tell GMs what "breakout" means. Towns can't be a breakout player after averaging 25/12, Neither can Porzingis

Have you ever in your life said something good about Davis, or any Pels player? You constantly shite on him, even though he's an elite player (top 7 and only getting better, a true two-way player).

They have him as the #1 PF by a large margin, and the #2 Center.

Who fricking cares.

It's the only actual NBA opinion he has outside of wanting the Rockets (or Came Close in the term he likes to use) to move back to San Diego

I like to think of my role here as the guy who sets the record straight when I see players being overrated I'll pop in with a post to clear things up. If you don't see me posting good stuff about Davis or other guys it means they are being overrated. If these guys or any other players were being underrated I will clear the air on them too.
