Wasn’t trying to be overly negative, I just want the regular season to be meaningful. I’d love to see some steps taken to reinforce its importance, that’s all.

I don’t know what fans are thinking about this in season tournament but I don’t like it. To me, it feels gimmicky and only further reinforces how unimportant the NBA’s regular season is and that the league knows it too.
Plot twist. This is like the Jamarcus Russell story when they sent his film home with $100 in it to see if he watched it. Hopefully this guy found cash in every scouting report.
Especially since the hotel isn’t in a random place, it’s in the city the Spurs play in (obviously). That makes these scouting reports laying on the hotel floor that much more intriguing to passersby.
I think it depends on context. Dunks are typically seen as “going up stronger” than layups but the risk with a dunk is the player trying to be too flashy and just missing it altogether. Conversely, a layup is sometimes seen as the “fundamental” thing to do but other times it can be the player going up too soft. Dunks probably have a higher risk of injury too.
I would say in the NBA the players are so good that they really aren’t going to miss dunks very much so a dunk is probably better for them. At younger levels like high school it’s probably safer to shoot a layup.
That’s absolutely wild. Like how does a player become that much better than everyone else?
This has been said before but what’s so crazy about Jordan is you can take nearly any given player’s record, award history, statistical streak, or incredible stat line and there’s a really good chance one of the people competing with the player for that unique streak, award, etc. is going to be Jordan. Like there’s all these different players in various lists and then Jordan is just in all of them.
I’d love to tell him the pain of his teams losing will soften as he ages but that would be lying.
Here are a few:
Porzingis (I really don’t think Chuck will remember that he went to Boston) Gary Trent Jr. Rudy Gay Landry Shamet Larry Nance Jr Alex Len (callback to that funny clip of Chuck about him)
I tried to list some pretty recognizeable names that I don’t think he’ll know.
