A reminder that Nikola Jokic started toying around with this shot while he was on the mend from a sprained ankle. He didn't wanna put pressure on his bum left ankle.

David Griffin’s 2½-year run in New Orleans has been turbulent. He’s fired 2 head coaches, and he’s failed to form a solid relationship with his most important player.

Nikola Jokic came up with the coolest signature shot in the NBA because he couldn't put weight on his left ankle after he sprained it. Saying there's nothing compelling about the Nuggets is just wrong.

In three of the four years Zion has been in the NBA, it’s taken him much longer to return from an injury than it should have.
Something is not working. His approach. The team he’s put in place around him. New Orleans’ medical staff. Maybe all of it.

Very ethical bucket getter
Brandon Ingram is the leagues leading ethical bucket getter. No spamming 3’s, no foul baiting, just jab steps, elite footwork, and finishing. Pure hoops.

The TNT guys were right. Zion is out of shape. He doesn't run hard. He doesn't rebound. Will Thursday be a wakeup call for him or just another night he is remembered for not maximizing his potential?
