Picked Luka because imagine him and jokic side by side?

Every shot would look ridiculous and stupid with awful form but it would go in perfect swish every time


Can’t blame you for picking Luka. He is the only one on this list I would consider taking ahead of Giannis, showed real leadership and grit when he knocked out Phoenix last year

Getting to the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs is basically like a 1st rd bye in the NFL (unless you randomly get matched up with an 8th seed thats been to the Finals twice and the ECF 3 times in the last 5 years)

In short what I’m saying is the 76ers are the Cowboys of the NBA. Always hyped up due to their market but constantly losing in the 2nd rd. Imagine having your playoff career highlight be a triple doink buzzer beater to send you to Cancun.

In similar fashion, there is always a new excuse for Romo Prescott Embiid.


#1 seed lost to a #8 seed.

Solid first round bye though :rolleyes:

Is that how this works? I assumed it would be like a real draft where each pick would be from a separate team.

Solid deflection from the fact that Embiid has led his team to the same amount of playoff success as Andre Iguodala.

Define playoff success

I couldn't care less about "making" the conference finals or finals.

If there's no ring, nobody is going to remember it. You know what they will remember? Being an NBA MVP though and scoring champion. Embiid himself will be a Hall Of Famer lock, ring or not.

I'm not about celebrating second or third or fourth place. Phillies lost in the WS and Eagles lost in the Super Bowl this past year and neither will be remembered. Championship is what is remembered.

I tend to think KD is pretty overrated considering that he has done absolutely nothing outside of insanely stacked teams.

If you really examine his post season success? It’s pretty barren considering he has played with:

Curry, Klay, Westbrook, Harden, CP3, Booker, and Irving

Even LeGM would be hard pressed to compete with that level of surrounding talent


I’m not gonna lie the part 2 post seasons Durant has looked terrible, with the eye test.

Jordan didn't even make the finals in 9 of his 15 seasons.

What gets me is when people comment on Jordan being 6-0 and ignore the other 9 failed attempts to even get that far.

I think the most babied star player is Durant. Considering how much he team hopped, choked, and GMed with his buddies he gets very little criticism
