P4P the greatest skilled scorer to ever play the game imo.

A shame his legacy is kind of riding on him winning one for the Nets though.

Depends how you look at it. You could even argue for the decision if wanna shoot some bail, last time we saw GS without him in the Finals they crumbled to Bron. He comes along and they overwhelm the situation and for the first two times in Bron's career, it's like he just didn't matter. He's that great. But that's about the best I can do lol.

One of the weakest moves in sports history but his impact is still undeniable. We've seen 85% of LeBron before in Magic, there wasn't a blueprint for KD, kinda why they gave him a hard time in the draft combine. Now bigs need to be able to stretch like him & Dirk, then you got them putting any young players coming in with similar builds like Ingram, MPJ, etc in the same breath. So he's solidified no matter what happens imo.

Series has hurt OKc future. Cp3 has had an underwhelming postseason and has shown he can’t do nothin for you when the tough gets goin.. he can’t lead the charge and can’t stem the bleeding. Presti was hoping for a great postseason to boost his value for a contender(Lakers or Mavs) but that’s not the case. Stephen Adams also has hurt his value as he can’t do nothin against the micro ball lineup.

@Piff Tannen The work Drew did with Tatum last year has turned him into a monster man...Wiggs needs to get back in touch.

You definitely saw the offensive growth in his game under Hanlen. Once he parted ways with his agent Duffy soon after was Hanlen. But I like his work with Chris Johnson. It Looks he found a trainer he trusts because Chris definitely got his game back on track enough to be written as a possible all-star candidate by some media members. It wasn't until grandma Wiggins died along with his baby daughter getting the flu, the same flu that caused him to lose 10lbs is when his game fall off a cliff before his trade to the Warriors. I don't get to hyped off summer workouts especially anymore . But he definitely put the work in the work whether be in La or Minny.

You can if there aren't 14 players better than him!

...and there aren't.
MJ
Kareem
Bron
Wilt
Russell
Shaq
Bird
Magic
Kobe
Duncan
Hakeem
Wade
Oscar
Dirk
KG

Literally just off the top of my head.

At best he's 13th all time and cannot move up unless he gets a ring on his own team. Honest to God if Harden wins a ring this season I would put him over KD.
Because he's actually just as gifted of a scorer but he's shorter, has to work harder to get his points, averages more and a wayyyy better iso scorer.

The problem with Wiggins is he can't dribble what's so ever. You can do all the dribble workouts you want but if you don't have the proper stance it's a waste.

If you watch Harden he always has his left foot in front of his right foot in a side ways stance where he can shoot immediately, put the ball between his legs making it harder for a defender to reach or driving with force. Wiggins dribbles with both feet parallel it's really hard to sell a move that way and the defender can reach in and steal the ball.
