Random NBA Observations 2022 - 2023

So I’m going to assume Lebron and KD didn’t play enough games to make the all nba teams so who are the forwards you have making the all nba teams outside of Tatum and Giannis.

Those rules don’t take effect until next season I’m pretty sure.

If Bron plays all of the Lakers final games that’ll put him at 55 games. Last season he played 56 and the year before he played 45 (of 72) and the media put him in both years. He’s 100% making it, especially if they make the playoffs outright.

Uhhh...I know I'm not tripping but didn't the Lakers clinch at least a 9th seed, meaning bare minimum they should be going to a play-in game? OKC has the 10th spot right now with 42 losses and can only win up to 40 games. Lakers have 41 wins and can only have maximum 41 losses. I know the sixth seed is the cherish spot because at least they wouldn't have to play a play-in, but it should've been announced that they will at least go to the play-in tournament

I would hope that voters explain their criteria for those type of situations over other guys who played more and put up numbers as well.

I think they only announce it for teams that have clinched play-in berths but can no longer make the top 6 seeds
It's only been announced for the Raports and Bulls so far cause even though the Heat and Hawks are ahead of them, the Heat and Hawks technically have a chance at the 6 seed

Tatum has no MVP argument, is overrated, and his playoff PER last year was 17.6. Celtics stans group-hugging online can’t change reality.

Breh, he's making 1st team All-NBA at age 24. Come on now lol

yeah you’re right…I noticed what he did but in the east…I was wondering yesterday how ESPN noted that chicago and toronto had secured a play-in spot but didn’t do the same for miami

Tatum having haters is the wildest thing, he might be the most unproblematic star in the league

Dude don’t do nothing but hoop and take care of his kid. Never had any type of off-court controversy, don’t be in interviews throwing shots at people, don’t even trash talk or play dirty on the court

Price of being a Celtic though I guess

See, but I never said he wasn't good. He's a fringe top 10 player. That's really, really good. And he has room for improvement. I like watching him play. All I've said is the clamoring for MVP was premature, and his numbers are very good but not great in comparison to legit MVP candidates, and his playoff run was subpar. I don't dislike any player except Harden, it's not personal for me.

Nothing has been better for me than completely giving up listening to any sports talk on TV or podcasts. How about we just let careers play out THEN discuss legacies? It's done because most of these talking heads don't know how to break the game down in a digestable way to make it entertaining so they resort to the easy topics that require little to no thought or work.

Name 10 players better than him. Should be a good quite hilarious.
