Yeah but witht his logic, Joel Embiid is the best player in the NBA. He won MVP, he was the best regular season player last season.
Playoffs matter more. No one considers Embiid better than Jokic or Giannis and plenty of people put him below Steph, Luka, Tatum, etc.
So if Embiid isn’t gonna be considered the best player in the NBA, then JB is going to be elevated because he’s won 2 Easts with Bam Adebayo and bums. And outplayed Lebron in the Finals. And had some crazy series.
100% is a top 10 player even if he averages 5,5,5 in the regular season as long as he pulls up in the playoffs this much.
Absolutely nobody who saw the Heat in those two runs should be considering that support cast “bums”. Who gives a shit if Duncan Robinson usually kinda sucks if he can go out and shoot 74% from three to help you knock out the one seed.
The tale of Duncan’s three point shooting in the playoffs.
A spectacular (14/19) vs the bucks, proceeds to crash back down to earth vs the Knicks (12/42), becomes great again vs the Celtics (15/31), and finally is a complete non factor vs the nuggets (1/3)
But for real the only reason we beat you is because of him. Not including jimmy only bam had more than 17 PPG (17.4 PPG).
Bucks had 4 different guys hit that mark. Lowest was Jrue (17.8 PPG)
