16 game players. If any of these guys have 16 good games...basketball history can change:

- LeBron
- Durant
- Davis
- Kawhi
- Dame
- George
- Mitchell
- Murray
- Curry
- Kyrie
- Harden
- Butler

I got the Suns in 6.

- Those first two games will be everything as they set the tone and direction for this matchup. If the Suns can minimize mistakes and get their big three firing for 60-80 points it puts a lot of pressure on the T-Wolves to matchup.

- KAT will have to…

Lakers just punked the Pels on their floor just like they did in that play-in tournament. LeBron and Davis are half court players. People gotta understand Ham's style actually has that old school defensive bully ball approach that works in these games. They have all the momentum…

Shai just led a young OKC team from the 10th seed to the 1st seed by being a lock for 30 points every night and defending on the other end. You take him off that team they aren't in the playoffs. He should be the MVP this year.

Suns and T-Wolves in round one will be a dogfight. Minny is the better defensive team and has more size, but Edwards has to go shot for shot with a unit of Durant, Book and Beal. This is two opposite styles going at it.

When LeBron plays the Magic role and Davis is force fed the ball the Lakers are at their best. This recipe works very well in the half court because that style of basketball is what favors teams with size and veterans who get physical buckets.

Let it be known...a pure hooper just led the Knicks to 50 wins through real skill and craftsmanship. Jalen Brunson was cooking defenses all year. His pace, herky-jerky flow, in between game, middy, shot creation and playmaking are so elite. Every small guard should study him.

Kenneth Lofton Jr. belongs on an NBA roster at the start of the 2024-25 season.

Not G-League, not summer league, not training camp deals...he needs to be on the main roster. Every chance he gets he produces. Skilled bully with great touch and ability to run the floor.

The West is all about who your draw.

- Lakers matchup well with OKC
- Suns took Nuggets to 6 last year
- Pels and T-Wolves is going to be fun
- Mavs-Clippers is going to be a war
- Dubs are a different team in playoffs

Suns vs Lakers in the play-in is going to be must watch basketball. Veteran firepower going at it. Winner might play Nuggets in round one. This is when the NBA gets real.

Players who master this shot become the most feared closers. It's a pattern. Edwards is the next one.

De'Aaron Fox is not a player you want to face in the first round or play-in because he plays like he's the best guy on the floor and is in attack mode start to finish.

Anthony Edwards goes 2006 Dwyane Wade this postseason and everything changes. They got KAT back today which is huge. He needs to match ANT in the big games.

The most advanced basketball player ever.

Here's 1 minute of Kobe Bryant making MJ's turnaround fade off Hakeem's 'Dream Shake' move 🥶 Pure artistry and skill of the highest level. He was an extension of the greats who came before him.
