This is the NBA's David vs Goliath moment. Jalen Brunson is a pure hooper and cold blooded closer of the highest level. What a moment and shot this was.

Casuals and media noise aside, a lot of this new generation of hoopers has Kevin Durant as their GOAT. They gravitated towards the skill. You have to go to a gym though with players. He's the created player in real life and his formula was ultra successful. His influence on taller players is unmatched. He altered a position and evolved the game. You can tell it was surreal for Ant, the future best, to go against his idol. What's going to grow the legend of KD to the next gen is his ability to continue to perform and match them on any given night.

Stats may not pop out, but if the Knicks win this series and get to the Finals, this Karl-Anthony Towns performance will be up there as one his career best. He hulked up and put NY on his back in a do or die game.

Anthony Edwards knows the game is about a bucket and the best player has to take the onus upon himself to close out tight games with his shot making. Real killer.

This is deeper, but I actually think analytics boom prevented Andrew Wiggins from being a multi time All-Star and bonafide superstar who put up 27/7/5. Look at these shots. His game was the prototype SF (Melo/PG/LBJ/Rudy) at that time, but the game switched very abruptly before he could emerge. Middy, elbow, slasher, 12 footers, long 2's, post fades...all iso half court buckets etc. opening up the rest of their attack. They love to say silly things like "the analytics actually say Shai or Booker are good mid-range shooters" 🤷🏽‍♂️ But how is a young player coming into a league that openly discourages that shot even prove they are elite in that category? They'd have to be rebels.

Eye test and common sense says this a pure hooper and problem of the highest level on that 94 feet who worked his ass off to make the NBA. Analytics waited til this guy was 8 yrs into an NBA career and concluded that this isn't a good basketball player.

"I knew my NBA run was coming to an end when I refused to get the vaccine. The Mavs just stopped playing me after that and I had a separate locker room away from the team. It was super tough, but I didn't want to conform to that" - Trey Burke on his NBA exit

Ridiculous bucket by Cam Thomas. He jump stopped with his back to the hoop then rises up and lines everything up mid air to get it over Jaylen Brown. Pure hooper.

Genuine question, how does Giannis Antetokounmpo's game even fit this system? It's the complete opposite of his attack. Don't like this potential trade for both sides. 🎥 @basedcelticsfan

Darius Acuff Jr. is a pure hooper 🥶 He reminds me so much of Trey Burke, but as a bigger guard. Has that killer 90's handle and bop, floater and creation ability. Kings got a dog.

Analytics getting attacked today. This is the stuff I was saying since 5-7 years ago. The game got distorted when they let the calculators in the door.

Heavy CJ McCollum vibes. Mikel Brown Jr. has that movement and flow on the court that is so hard to teach. The game just comes natural to these guys.

No foul baiting, no mismatch hunting, no wasted movements or over dribbling. Just pure skill paired with freakish athleticism. Michael Jordan is basketball.

I still believe in Ja Morant. Again, the analytics fluff labels him not a winning player because of shooting percentages, but his game is dependant on rhythm and lower body health. If his body is right he will generate points getting downhill.

This is how situational the NBA is. Nickeil went from a 3&D specialist averaging 9 a game in Minny to the go to bucket getter for the Hawks putting up 21 a night. Very talented.
