I thought we were talking a outs fans’ strong support of individual caps. Your examples are fans bitching about players leaving their team, or holding out for money.

What is their argument, exactly? I know why the owners want it, but why would fans?

Do people strongly support the individual cap?

I completely agree with your last sentence.

Read harder or be smarter. I compared the criticisms of them.

Westbrook led nearly every advanced stat/metric as well this year.

Oof.

I share your feelings on Harden. Literally my least favorite player to watch. I recognize he’s awesome, smart, crafty, whatever, but the way he gets by on fooling refs drives me nuts.

Oh, the old ‘you must be a casual fan’ comment. I’m kinda amazed it took this long for someone to resort to it.

1. I agree! Although Durant shares some of the blame for that, especially if you watched a number of those playoffs games coming down the stretch. Durant was not able to be physical, and often couldn’t get to his spots. Durant is a better player and scorer, no doubt.

I never said Russ was as good as Michael Jordan, and I didn’t compare them as talents. I compared the criticisms of them.

I agree he would rather play with Steph than Westbrook, and I think that largely has to do with the way that each player gets their points.

Helluva response here.

Read the comments here, player.

Regarding your last point - I agree. But when I watched it, it seemed like even his teammates knew he was the only chance they had. They would get the ball, and almost instantly be looking for him.

Of course he’s more efficient in Golden State. Jesus, how could he not be? He joined a historically great team with another MVP in his prime, and two of the other best three point shooters of all time. This is really silly point.

No, Iverson’s FG% was never great. I think he won the MVP at 44% or so.

I’m a Lebron stan, but Lebron is kinda douchey. Also, half the reason people hate is because he’s so fucking good that he threatens their idols.

Yes, it is baffling to me. He’s not a shooter. His game is different, but it’s still a marvel. To be clear, I also prefer ball movement, but the guy had over 10 assists, and who was the best shooter/secondary scorer on this team?

I think the subtext there is ‘It’s fucking sweet to play for a historically great team with a bunch of awesome shooters.’
