More and more people every year. I think they just want an American to be the best player again. With a Canadian winning MVP, how many years has it been with international winners now?

Whom exactly would you expect to beat this OKC team?

The next Jordan should be able to go more than five games, I’d think.

He's too worried about telling opposing fans how big his dick is.

Dude, what a fig. You think facts matter more than how those guys feel?

People get so attached to false narratives, it’s actually a psychological problem. Pride too, they can’t admit they were wrong because it’s too damaging to their ego.

This doesn’t tell us anything about foul baiting though.

And more fouls were called in the 80s and 90s compared to today.

Kinda hard to average 32 pts a game(only 8 from free throws) when your entire game revolves around “hunting for a foul”

What exactly am I co fused about

Seems virtually impossible for SGA to average 32 pts a game when all he is doing is trying to get fouled the entire time he has the ball (while only averaging 8 free throws a game)

Yeah, because he didn’t have to. The league took care of that for him as part of their campaign to artificially prop him up.

Think what MSM did for Biden and Kamala, just on a slightly smaller scale.

Ok buddy. Pretty amazing actually, and makes him better than Jordan, if he is scoring that much while only trying to draw fouls

Imagine if he was just trying to actually score? Could average 50 a night
