Oh well, at least the Clippers will have to raise their banner in an empty arena.
DPOY and MVP same year
Back to back MVP
But when they play actual teams in a playoff setting, he barely contributes at an all-star level.
He feuds with Fraudin a lot but at least fraudin is an all star level player in the playoff but obviously not as good as his stat padding regular season self.

Lakers imo.
He had five monster games in a row in the first round. Yeah, he should've done more this game, but 18/10/9 isn't exactly pedestrian either.
I'll give him one more year cause he's only 25...
+ he was not guarding Butler and Drazic.
That was the ballgame.
playing out of position against midgets to pad his stats
Doncic, Antetokounmpo, Porzingis in 2021, I wanna see that team.
Luka as a ball handler and Giannis as a roll man could work.
This is what happens to bigs when they don’t have good perimeter players.
I actually think his team is built well around him. He just shouldn’t close games. He can carry the team for the first 44 minutes. But then let someone else who is more skilled, better at creating their own shot especially when defense tightens and doubles come, and can knock down free throws at a consistently high clip. I don’t know that Middleton can do that as the #1 option. But it just shouldn’t be the Freak until his skills get better.
He’s this generation’s Shaq. Different body type, different style of play. Same issues finishing games as THE guy.
As a League MVP and a guy that collects all this praise as one of the best players in the world, can his ego allow him to take a backseat in crunch time?
I don’t think the team is ideally built around him
Middleton isn’t so great at creating his own shot
Bledsoe is not a playoff performer
None of his teammates are great consistent 3 pt shooters
Korver can shoot but when he’s on the court it’s pretty much 4vs5 defensively
They can use someone like Lemon Pepper Lou who they can hide on defense. Maybe CJ/Middleton swap.
I always pronounced that username as Quit-Storm (like kuh-WIT-storm), even before Number Two actually quit on the Spurs. It ended up being propheitc
Coach Bud is continuing the Pop tradition of dominating in the regular season and not showing up in the playoffs.
I think Westbrook is up there. Dude constantly chokes in the clutch like Giannis and can’t finish games by himself. Remember the 20 missed shots in the 4th quarter
Same here
If he doesn't win it all this year then he's going to have a David Robinson like career trajectory. In the case he loses this year then he might have to team up with a player better than him if he ever wants to win a ring.
I see him closer to David Robison where the games are purely based on athleticism. The bucks need to have a guy who can create shots with giannis finishing ( like Stockton and Malone) then surround them with three point shooters.
Also in today’s nba, bigs creating is just not as effective.
I will never understand why they chose Bledsoe over Brogdon.
Damn, lots of underserved clutch fame guys in there.
OP will be endlessly sucking GA's the second he rings, tbh.
I've said it time and time again that you put PP with Shaq and Gasol and he has at least five rings, too.
