I wonder whether they'd call his palming as he crosses the three-point line now.

Nah. He's Michael. No way!

That's not palming. Palming is coming underneath the ball. Jordan merely redirects the ball without coming underneath it, which is legal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nah. He's Michael. No way!

I agree. Jordon never did anything wrong. It was Paxson. Ugh.

This is the “around the nba” thread. And in the last post it was just about Doncic. No “comparison” (unless you’re mad about them comparing him to Oscar, in which case I don’t know what to tell you).

I know. I am just kinda tired of it. Disgregard me and just move on.

So Scary Terry wants out apparently.

My little brother is all about it but no thanks. I honestly don't see it in him

TC is in for the Lakers. He got out rebounded by Butler but the lakers still got the loose ball.

He's about to be a free agent... and trading with the Celtics is generally a bad idea.

Yeah, the only thing I'd like about going after Rozier is that it would stop any chance of us going after Wall.

He got away with a lot of fouls at the end there that he can only get away with in a purple and gold jersey.

Good stat. Makes me feel better about his passiveness.

And he hit a huge 3 at the end of regulation.

That's a great line. Let's see if Ayton responds.

Joel Embiid is a legitimate MVP candidate.

Nonsense.

 

[Sunburn]

Nonsense.

What makes you think Ayton will respond to Embiid's stat line?

 

[Finito]

Embiid won't be an MVP candidate until the 76ers can beat the top teams in the NBA something they've proven they can't do yet

This is the Greek Freaks year to win MVP

And the Bucks can't beat the top teams in the league either. That could change this year but the same thing is holding Giannis back from winning MVP that is holding Embiid back. They need to win when it matters.

I think Anthony Davis is the best bet for MVP this year. He no longer has Cousins sharing the floor with him and he seemed to come into his own once Cousins got injured last year. He carried that Pelicans team to a better record without Cousins than with him. I know they were an odd pairing in todays NBA but it did work, to a certain extent.

 

[Hoop Head]

Poor Markel Fultz. His shot will be analyzed for the rest of his career. The kid seems like he gets it together for a little bit and then something like this happens where everyone is reminded how close to broken he is.
