This mfer MPJ got his own team and don’t know how to act
- Thread starter High quality poster
- Start date

I have never rooted for jokic so I am not here to defend him...but what are we doing here exactly? Nets are one of the bottom eastern conference teams. MPJ was always a talented player BUT the main issue was his injuries as he's had some serious ones throughout his career. He missed damn near two seasons in Denver. And with Jokic being irrelevant on defense the other guys had to step up their defense...MPJ was almost as bad on defense as Jokic, he wasn't the greatest fit for that team.
So now he's putting up stats on one of the bottom teams. Let's see if he can actually lead his team to the playoffs at some point. I Mean that snitch D'Angelo Russell once led the Nets to playoffs....it shouldn't be a hard task!

The problem with this narrative is that he's been relatively healthy for the most part since them compared to others favorite players that don't get the same scrutiny.
His main issue is what else he can bring to the table besides getting buckets, which was never in doubt.

If the Dallas u15's boys soccer team could beat the USWNT team then MPJ saying that isnt really outlandish.
Here's the thing, he did have a few healthy seasons in recent years, but as a 3rd option. There is more wear and tear when you are 1st option.
Him being one dimensional was not exactly what Denver needed from him as a 3rd option, but for a bottom conference team, his scoring is good enough to get them some wins.
Basically he's limited on what he can provide to a championship contender team. He'd pretty much need to be on a team where a few starting five guys would be very good on defense, to mask his inefficiency there. There would also have to be some good playmakers, because he's not good at that neither. Like you said, a one dimensional player.
MPJ is in his perfect situation
Got a complete green light to take whatever shot he wants with no expectations to win games

He would’ve been special if it wasn’t for the back injury

FREE PORTER STANS WERE FINALLY VINDICATED
MPJ and Wiggins two dudes from the same type of cloth to me. Elite basketball talents but a seeming unwillingness to find different ways to use their talents. The finals runs and wins those two were apart of, a big part of the reason was because they committed to rebounding and just playing a more well rounded game. But then every season after that they just go back to just making it through the regular season with some flashes but dont over extend themselves ever. I respect MPJ playing through that shoulder injury last year during the playoffs though. I just get annoyed with supremely talented players who just dont use their talents regularly. Jaren Jackson and Jalen Green also on that list for me 
So not surprised this would be a situation MPJ would love because theres no pressure to win or be a winning player or need to fit into a system for the betterment of a team. There's no reason he shouldn't be a 3rd or 4th option on a good team but I dont think he does enough beside shoot and he wasnt consistent enough for the Nuggets. I dont think there was any reason Aaron Gordon became a better threat for the Nuggets than MPJ but one guy really wants to win and improve his game and the other seems like he'd like his seasons to end in April.

Egor Demin has potential to be nice
MPJ is one of those guys where he's either red hot or ice cold there's very little in between. That being said, no one else on the Nets aside from Cam(and he's hurt again, what a surprise) can create their own shot so he's basically taking whatever shot he wants when he wants with zero pressure on him to win. He's played great
When he took that middy over two defenders...
I love it.I can't tell you how many times I've seen dudes try to play "the right way", and pass the ball to somebody to throw up a brick.
The league needs gunners. I'm all for it
