Bron averaged 28/11/9 & 30.2 PER in the playoffs. Bron averaged 30/12/9 59% 42% from 3
AD averaged 28/10/3 & 29.6 PER in the playoffs. AD averaged 25/11/3 57% 42 % from 3

No need to be goofy about this breh :unimpressed:
What’s goofy? Those are both great offensive numbers but one of them was an elite on defense as an anchor of the team and the other wasn’t. Which was which?

That's where you're wrong. Bron was GREAT defensively in those bubble playoffs. AD was better defensively, but Bron was great as well. Then you throw in Bron's rebounding and passing advantages its clear he was better. Although AD wasnt far off.

usually if an agency signs busts like this the criticism would be about signing poor clients and needing to be better on the talent acquisition front. you all are flipping this to say klutch made them suck. wow, i wonder about this site sometimes.

Precisely. I’ve made my son walk onto every single program he’s played for including college. This way if he really wants it, he’s gotta earn it and nobody can take that away from him and he owes nobody but himself.

The shoe companies are the worst thing to happen to American hoops. They have these kids and their families reclassified multiple times all so they can get the opportunity to go to college for free and the hopes of getting one of the most coveted jobs in the world.

These Kids miss mostly all of their high school years, events like the prom and parties all so they can have a shot to play three years at best in the nba and knock up some troll who will make sure their life is a living hell for years to come. All while the guys who invested in them from 6th grade reap the rewards.

Then we get to sit back and watch them do foolishness and wonder why they spend and behave recklessly not realizing they never had that chance since it was all business from youth. Tearing their bodies apart before 25 becuase they never had a summer to chill. It’s insane that there are more billionaires in the country than there are NBA players and the players work for the billionaires yet people still push their kids to go pro.

"So any rookie that comes into our league, it still takes time for them to develop. So he has a skill set that you -- he's 6-9½ with a guard skill set. And again, the challenge would be the actual play part. And that's OK; he's accepting that. I tell him all the time -- we just talked this morning -- 'Even if you have to play one-on-one, one-on-none to work on certain things, that's what we have to do.' But I'm not going to throw him out there with just anybody and have him play. That's not going to happen."

Because he posted a guy from Klutch. There are dozens of players that come out too early every year that he could have posted. :dead:

there's dozens of players that come out too early and their agents tell teams not to draft them? :laff:

NBA needs to bring Inside Stuff back and have a segment called stay in school. Seriously.

Perfectly said. For whatever reason it's been decided that one-and-done status is the only acceptable path for allegedly elite ballers. So kids beat up on kids in HS and the minute they face any adversity in college they bounce for the draft (often landing in the g-league). Can't even blame it on money because NIL ensures these guys will live very comfortably on campus in college. There are more incentives to stay in college now than ever before. But then again if you need to pay your handlers who got you to that point.....maybe that's what it is about. Getting rushed so the white men who got you this far can get paid.
One and done is more about it gives you the opportunity to get 3 or 4 big contracts from the nba vs 3 or 4 years gives you the opportunity to get 1 or 2.

Dejounte Murray was one and done. He got a 120 million contract. He is only 27. If he turns down his player option he is right back in free agency at 30. Plenty of 30 year olds get large contracts in the NBA.

Derrick White played 4 years. He got a 125 million contract...at 31. He didn't get a player option so it just carries him until he is 35. Paul George, Lebron, and KD notwithstanding, most 35 year old's don't get paid very much in the nba, if they are even in the nba at all.

The difference between the one and done guy vs the 4 year guy might legit be 100 million more dollars primarily because one guy can jump back into free agency at 30 and one guy aint even get his payday until he was 31. And these dudes were drafted in back to back years.
