    Nobody. I said Nash was (arguably) 2nd best ever, and Steph is WAY better.

    Shot more while still maintaining equal or greater efficiency. Maybe not "leaps and bounds"...but still better.

    You know Pat Connaughton looks like Vanilla Ice in your picture.

    Not really:

    Pat isn't nearly that douchey and Rob always wore his hat with the bill forward.

    I get much more of a Jesse Pinkman vibe from Patty Baseball:

    He should still be fined for using an out of date expression.

    Nikola Jokic Fined For Making Stupid Joke From 2012

    "On the one hand, it’s healthy for a professional sports league to come down hard on even faintly homophobic remarks. On the other hand, if he’d just used the more-palatable “pause” to have some fun with his heterosexual fragility, he’d probably be in the clear. Slang percolates to non-native speakers more slowly, one imagines."

    I'm with you there. Jaylen Brown is criminally underrated on that team. Most people would name Irving, Tatum, Hayward, and Horford (in whatever order) before him in terms of importance, but I'd probably pick Brown before any of them for either building around or adding to the Blazers.

    Really? Where was this when Mark Jackson was the Warriors' coach? Steph was in his prime, just as good a shooter... and not really considered an MVP candidate.

    Also, "impact to the game"? Let me know when they change the rules to make it HARDER for Steph (like when they banned dunking when Kareem was in college) rather than easier. Think what Gary Payton would've done to Steph in the 90s.

    So we HAVEN'T seen short guards who shoot a lot, accurately, and have killer handles but we HAVE seen near-seven-footers who play like short guards who shoot a lot, accurately, and have killer handles?

    We have never seen a guy that you have to start guarding from the mid-court because he can drain 3s from there all the time.

    Durant, he is a taller version of the ice-man - players in the league are getting bigger / stronger / faster all the time - he is a physical specimen - but he does stuff we have seen before in a bigger body. Steph is something else, imho.

    Plus the fact you have to get on the phone with Danny Ainge.... which 99% of the GM's in the league groan before during.
