Nets decided not to hire Ime Udoka, after all.
Perhaps they felt that they already had enough on their plates after this whole Kyrie fiasco. Haha
years from now, are we going to talk about Davis like we do Grant Hill? Brandon Roy? T-Mac?
or will the conversation be different because he has won championship(s)?
I think that AD is too big a star to be in the same category as Odom or Artest. They were excellent role players, but AD was brought in to transition into being the franchise.I am afraid AD legacy will be just like Lamar Odom or Ron Artest...
Yes they both were also won championship with the team but problems off the court had derailed their respective careers and in the end they were not talked much after their playing days are over.
Though in AD's case, it is more an injury's problem more than anything.
At best, he will be sort of forgotten like Dwight Howard.
Let's hope not so, though...

Haven't gotten to watch as much as I wanted to this first month, but I've been really impressed by my team this season so far. Tatum looks like a completely different dude, and is significantly better than he was at the end of last season. Both in terms of on the court play, but also just his off the court demeanor. He's really grown into a leader, and it seems like he's ready to win a championship in a way he wasn't last season.
Just hope he doesn't run himself into the ground a little bit by playing too many minutes. He's like the top guy in playing time by a significant margin over the last few years, and part of the issue down the stretch last year was wear and tear. I know he wants that MVP, but they should get him to take some breaks. Even if it's just playing only 25 minutes vs 38. Doesn't have to be rest days.
Lakes beat the Wizards today with AD going for 55 and Westbrook notching 15 (wow) assists. This team may be turning it around if they can stay healthy.You are right.
In no way AD could be compared to those 2. Haha.
Especially of how he has played recently.
Lakers could start to figure things out now.
They might be become more and more dangerous each days. Latest, they beat the Bucks.

statue is pretty dope. iconic Dirk
True. 19 though so hopefully he fills out a bit as he gets older and also as he sees the demands of the NBA.ive seen Victor on TV a little and he's very good. i worry about how skinny he is, like Durant, mostly for durability. granted, it's not the big old post players like they used to be, but it still is very physical. if he can maintain and stay healthy, he's one to watch for sure.
i do believe teams tank in sports. and i hope they're called on it more. just like flopping. can't stand it, and i'm not sure i respect it
Meet 'alien' Victor Wembanyama - the man ready to change the NBA
This guy sounds like an amazing prospect! Does tanking really happen in NBA?
That’s one disadvantage of what is a system that is trying to keep an even playing field but this is essentially cheating that well intentioned system. Shame they can’t do more about it.Tanking happens in NBA.
The most unpopular ones was Sixers in early 2010s, which lead them to land both Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons (and several failed ones) in the draft.
They called it "the process", haha.
For this season heard several teams will purposely tanking to get Wembanyama.
Adam Silver even warned them about this.
