Halliburton falls into that chancey billups when he won the title in 04. A top 15 to top 10 player. But hali got more upside since he doing it at younger age

50%+ efficiency on the floor averaging 3 straight season 30+ ppg as a guard. Him and Jordan are the only one doing it… But hey, we only talk about his FTA… If SGA win this championship, he’ll be on the GOAT trajectory and easily the best canadian ever

I just noticed 3 out the 4 teams left in conference finals never won a championship. Only team left that’s won a championship is the knicks but it’s been 52 years since they won a title

Shut up! “It’s New York”. Their standard is so low they’re celebrating a series win that granted them no trophy.
I think it’s between Brunson and Haliburton for most gained. 100% only Ant or SGA will become face of the league, more so Ant but that’s not the question.
Haliburton going from voted most overrated to NBA champ, that’s the biggest stock rise.

May 21, 2025 at 10:30 pm
So im confused. Brunson who is already a superstar, SGA a superstar/MVP and Ant Man Superstar/almost face of the league stock would rise more versus a guy who was voted overrated? You would think the guy who was voted most overrated stock would rise to show he’s not overrated or am I missing something? Ill give you the Timberwolves but is Okc not a well rounded team like the pacers? And the Knicks have a DECENT overall team they play hard and really run off Brunson but to not give credit to the best player on the pacers who was voted overrated if they win the chip is crazy

Hey, Perk, the Knicks have to win 4 in a row to match your predictions? I have mad respect for the Knicks, but your takes are just flat out of the realm of being entertained. PLEASE LET ANT ALONE. Why you both disrespect TY H is beyond logic?
