    Unless Simmons squats on top of the Liberty Bell flinging flaming puppies into the crowd - I'll say Kyrie. If that dude isn't mental he sure does a great imitation!

    Will this become an important question when any trade/free agent signing comes up for any player with any team?

    Good question!

    I wonder if any of the red state teams actually discourage players from getting vacinated? ( I'm actually not kidding)

    I doubt that, but I could see Texas and Florida getting executive orders making it illegal to dock someone’s pay for not being vaccinated.

    that would be challenged in court immediately and put on hold by an injunction

    ironically, it would be the kind of overreach by government into private businesses that the R's always rail about

    That's a great way to get these NBA players to rethink their stance on the vax. Have some dude about as far removed from them as possible, who is vaccinated, endorse their stance.

    I didn’t say it would be legal, but I could sure see a nitwit like DeSantis trying it out.

    Personally, I can't think of a way to do it other than pulling each individual player's numbers and putting it all into a spreadsheet.

    Get a giant bag of jelly beans.

    For each players 3pt% put that many jelly beans in a cup.

    35% is 35 jelly beans.

    Have a cup for each team.

    Count the jelly beans in each cup.

    The cup with the most jelly beans is the better 3pt shooting team.

    You don’t think I tried that…. Halfway through I kept eating the jelly beans.
