How do you feel about Stephen A. Smith and his impact on today’s NBA discussions?

Name me a Player who adapted their game and leveled up their career. I'll start:
Aaron Gordon is my pick because he refined his game instead of reinventing himself completely. Traded from Orlando, he was no longer a primary option on either end of the court. What surprised me is he accepted that no problem, when most players of his caliber (at the time) could've rejected that outright. Now he's a player with a respectable jumper, plays good defense, and is recognized as one of the leagues best role players.
Absolutely love to see what he has done for himself and for the Nuggets' franchise.

Im tired of pretending he isn’t the MVP this season… & tbh He should be on his 5th MVP right now.

Joker has to win the MVP if Nuggets get the 3 seed. I'm NOT a huge Joker fan but what he's doing right now is remarkable. SGA got his MVP last year, that's good enough for the foul baiter. If you Cap Joker at 4 it's fine but he belongs in the 4x MVP class with LeBron and Wilt. Cap him at 4 MVP not 3
Make this guy the 4x MVP what he's doing right now is insane Yeoman's work.
The Nuggets have been put on his 300 pound shoulders and carried to the 3 seed which is a high enough seed to warrant MVP.
WHO GIVES A SHIT if you're the 1 seed or 3 seed?
Top 4 seed is all that matters. It's homecourt in round 1 and a lower ranked opponent after that it literally doesn't matter.

Nikola Jokic should be mvp Every NBA media member that doesn't vote Nikola Jokić for MVP doesnt know anything about basketball.
NIKOLA JOKIC OVER THE LAST 7 GAMES:
27.7 PPG
15.3 RPG
13.4 APG
53.3% FG
38.3% FG

The amount of 50+ point games that Wilt has is absolutely silly. If you combine the players in your top 10 all time list they’d still have less 50+ point games than Wilt.

KD has basically played 82 games already
KD has already played 2,728 minutes this year. Split over 82 games that is 33.3 minutes a game. That is more minutes than Curry and Kawhi play a night. Basically the same 33.3 minutes a game as Shai, Lebron, Booker, Mitchell and Deni.
So basically KD has already played 82 games worth of minutes for the year.

Avdija is more of a free throw merchant than SGA
Deni "White Phosphorus" Avdija averages MORE FT attempts per game than SGA on lower volume. At least SGA is an efficient shooter and can use both hands to create his shots, Avdija is inefficient and is only good at creating shots with his left.
SGA gets a bad rap, but Avdija is much more of a FT merchant

Would you rather sit courtside at a Wizards game or in the nosebleeds of OKC?
