That team was so bad offensively.. but they were awesome defensively. When they hit shots… they couldve played with any team… That team needed some more scorers… If AI had a Brunsons Knicks like team hed of won.. they had no offense besides him… They needed more firepower.

Always having to choose from the set of players who make the stats sheet.
Never acknowledging the most all round player, because he doesn’t the g/a push, is very disheartening.
Joao Neves is a top 5 player in world football on any day.

While Steph Curry is my favorite player. I can always admires Allen Iverson’s ability to score without relying on 3 pointers at his size. Genuinely insane.
