21-22 Illusions: Kawhi is my favorite player, and I've made no secret of that. This year he's played maybe the best season of his 14-year career. It's been fun to see. The Clippers are currently the 8th seed in the West. I'm not sure they can catch Phoenix for the 7 seed but still, with all the changes the team has made during the season it's been something to watch.
Happy to see CJ on the Hawks now. He's a professional player and he can shoot. After trading for McCollum and Kesper as well as Kuminga, I like how Atlanta is constructed. Still need to figure out their defense though. Porzingis is with the Warriors now after stops in Boston, where he won a championship, and Atlanta. That Hayward is an Orange Parallel.
All three of these young players are solid players in the NBA today.
Reflections insert. While Green's season has been injury marred, he is going in a different direction than Ja in terms of his career.
Wilton Norman Chamberlain. Man was this guy good and so athletic. His dominance is not talked about enough. He wasn't just a big man clogging up the lane though he spent a lot of time there. His athleticism and skill led him to dominate the 60s. 10X All-NBA, 7X Scoring Champ, 11X Rebounding Champ, 4X MVP, 2X NBA Champ, 2X All-Defensive Team. All-time leader in minutes played per game (45.8) and rebound per game (22.9). He also averaged 30.1 points per game and of course had the only 100 point game.

Growing up in the 80's, Wilt was embedded into my brain as the greatest basketball player of all-time. I think a lot of it had to do with that 100pt. game, him averaging 50pts one season, and him averaging over 20 rebounds per game over his NBA career.
ReplyDeleteFunny you say that. When I was young, I thought the same thing. As 80s/90s went on I got on board with MJ being the GOAT. But man Wilt was crazy great.
