Why is mismatch hunting seen as a negative thing?.
No foul baiting, no mismatch hunting, no wasted movements or over dribbling. Just pure skill paired with freakish athleticism. Michael Jordan is basketball.

Steph with a shortended 3pt line. Steph in an era where bigs didnt step beyond 15 feet. Steph in an era where players went under EVERY screen. Steph in an era where teams shoot the gap on off ball screens. but yeah no more than 17.

So lets get this straight. Giannis has been better than tatum literally every single year of their careers,but a fmvp will put tatum above him. How do you reconcile that? 'Yeah giannis was better in 2018,19,20,21,22,23,24,25 and we all knew it But JT got 2 rings so hes higher'.
One more ring and fmvp Tatum is above Giannis all time I’m so serious.

We are getting to a point where in about 10 years there will be human beings trying to convince us that theres 20-25 people better than Kevin Durant at basketball in the history of life.
Could Jayson Tatum catch Kevin Durant All-Time? Through 8 seasons: . Championships:.Tatum - 1, KD - 0. All-NBA Teams:.Tatum - 4, KD - 5. All-Stars:.Tatum - 6, KD - 6. There is a chance he can.

If the NBA and its casual fans still cant see how problematic the mainstream media is amidst all this then there truly is zero hope for basketball discourse.

Someone has to enlighten me on how a 20 foot jumper is fine but the moment its 22 feet all hell breaks loose.
I would love the @NBA to make a rule that allows teams to only shoot 3’s 25 times a game and then watch the beauty of basketball return. Nothing like a basketball offense using all 5 players , running 94 feet leading to eye pleasing fast breaks.

I think what makes Jayson Tatum so polarizing is that the box score doesnt show how truly versatile he is. He's quite possibly the most versatile player in the NBA yet hes viewed through the lense of 'if hes not scoring hes not that impactful'.
