    Really should just have a "Webanyama is unreal" thread that we can just continuously update for the next 15 years.

    We are watching maybe one of the great regular season campaigns ever. They are on pace to win 72 games. The record is 73. Thoughts? Did I just jinx them?

    Regular season record record could hurt him. If record doesn’t matter as much, Wembanyama is in the race too.

    He’s top 10 in PER this year.

    Fake Star. Michael Jordan was triple teamed and did fine.

    Donovan Mitchell must be the most underrated star in the league. He's scored 70+ points in a game, he took the Jazz to the best record in the league and now he's on the best team and still nobody's talking about him. Better than Dwyane Wade?

    It was a 13 game win streak but we missed the playoffs. In 2018, we had another 13 game win streak but got swept in first round. Also- we were like 32-50 the year before that streak so have hope. We’ll be back in business soon.

    That would make the Grizzlies a top contender.

    He’s great. I think the biggest reason they’re winning though is having both Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley in the frontcourt. We’d be awesome too if we had those two.

    An Oklahoma City-Cleveland finals - that'll solve the NBA's ratings problem!

    Moving this to around the NBA. Discussion regarding this can all be done there, no need for an ancillary thread.
