OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: JANUARY 2025

I'm not trying to say Dame hasn't been doubled teamed throughout his career. He has. And you are right, Giannis is double teamed a lot and would adjust the numbers.

But comparing and defending Dame to MJ in terms of being double teamed is.....interesting.

 

So you are going to base your position on last year? Okay.
And by the way. Jordan rules were from the top of the key. Not half court. Depended on what position he was playing. He was usually playing wing so there is very little comparison.

 

That was actually my point with Edwards. You simply cannot compare what they are doing to him with Jordan.
Remember I said "Wonder what MJ's response was?".
It would have been closer to compare him probably to SGA though. I could have made a better choice there.

 

No, I'm not basing my position on just last year.

What position does Anthony Edwards play?

Still waiting on any links from you that Dame is more knowledgeable than Jordan on double teams.

 

Dame with a triple-double last night

 

So you want a link that says Dame is more knowledgeable about doubles than Jordan?
Thanks for clarifying that. I’ll let you find one that says he isn’t.

 

And the Clippers won because Dame couldn’t defend or hit a 3.

 

Here is a whole thread that goes into depth about Jordan being the most doubled played of all time besides maybe Wilt.

Enjoy the read.

 

That absolutely says nothing about Jordan being more knowledgeable about doubles in the modern NBA but kudos for coming up with something.
I’ll read it and I’m certain will learn something.

 

so you’re trying to say the Bucks lost BECAUSE of Dame!!?? What the fuck bro!

 

he's had a giant bug up his ass about Dame since Dame asked to be traded. That's one of his milder jabs at Dame

Kyle Kuzma ( Someone desperately wants to get traded)

“I think today I just decided to be myself and not really just try to fit into everything that we’re doing here, and just really played in the moment,” Kuzma said. “I think my mom helped me out with that. I saw her today.” Asked immediately what he meant by playing in the moment and not trying to fit in, Kuzma answered, “I mean just not trying to fit into what we’re trying to do here. Just being more assertive, demanding the ball, not just going out there and trying to let people develop. Just playing my game.”

Sounds like he’d fit right in here.

 

DA + MT for JB works on the trade machine. Why aren't the Heat picking up the phone?

 

No, just seems like we’re not serious about developing our young players and neither is Kuzma. I wouldn’t want him here.
