Series Thread: 2) Nuggets vs 3) T'Wolves

He has transformed into a superstar this year. Great season and now he is taking over in the playoffs, so far. That’s what superstars do.

Not in the best player in the world conversation yet even if he wins a championship. Jokic and Embiid are right at the top

Me personally wouldn't call him a superstar just yet. I think he does that thing where he turns into one in the playoffs which is amazing but anyone who saw him in the regular season wouldn't call him a superstar. He was just outside my top 10 in the regular season

Who's being insufferable?

Don’t worry wasn’t referring to you… May have overreacted a bit, but that one guy that said Edwards owns the city of Denver after one game needs to tap the brakes.

Jimmy Butler isn’t a superstar in the regular season but turns into one in the playoffs. Ant is playing like one now. Same with Jamal Murray. With that said, he isn’t a top 5 player…definitely not in the best player conversation.

I would not have a problem calling a superstar now and he plays solid defense too. Not a one way player

lol Ant not a better playoffs player than SGA though

That was a funny convo last week

Honestly is a very stupid conversation simply due to the lack of data.

Yep that's exactly who he reminds me of but he is a better regular season than Butler. Jimmy in the regular season is barely a top 20 player. Ant is close to top 10ish but yeah in terms of playoffs players I have seen in the last 5 years, my top 5 would look something like this in no particuliar order

Luka
Ant
Jimmy
Lebron
Steph

All of those guys go to another level in the playoffs. Ja is right there as well

Ant is a significantly better all around basketball player than SGA

Playoffs or not

We going to have a lot of data following the mavs series. Lack of data is also BS as well because Ant team got eliminated in round 1 the previous 2 seasons and you can tell from those series that he was a special player in the playoffs

That’s why Shai is getting ready to be all nba 1st team for a 2nd time while Edwards is going to be 2nd team for the 1st time. Love Ant, too early to say that.

Not saying he isn’t a special player at any of it

It’s fun debating stuff like this, especially when I like both players. Do you guys think Shai has to do what Ant did yesterday for the Thunder to be successful? That’s a huge part of the discussion.

No it’s early enough. All nba teams are a joke.

SGA I’m like 95% sure couldn’t guard you.

Can’t shoot for shit. I think his next step back 3 will be his first one.

And he’s also part of the worst commercial in the history of sports. Which knocks him down about 85 players

Vs the Pels? No

Vs the Mavs? Most likely in at least a couple of games

Ant is more of a volume 3 pt shooter compared to SGA but they shot basically the same % from 3

If you get chance to play the Mavs, yes.

He's not there yet but he's in the path to be, he's just 22.

For sure. He will be there next season or the year after at latest

Yeah you kinda just said it right there.

% is irrelevent when you factor in the types of shots and volume

Unless you think Sam Hauser is a better shooter than Steph Curry...

Why don’t you just come out and admit you are a total dumbass? You said so much totally incorrect stuff no sense in trying. Watch Shai sometime, or maybe at least check his numbers.

He said so many stupid things it’s not worth it.
