Haliburton just hit game winner/tie in every shot and yet you still mentioned Kawhi as scariest player in the playoffs

Kawhi, maybe healthy 2 years in a row… Maybe. James Harden, in the money season , the playoffs………..😶🌫️😶🌫️😶🌫️. You could argue that the Nuggets were a hamstring from winning game 7….like an achilles from a very possible loss in the Championship game 7.🤷🏾♂️

You can see why steph is the most overrated player of all time and it ain’t even close. Wouldn’t have even made the playoffs without butler

Ayton will gain 200lbs from Lukas diet plan and will turn to Prime Shaq in LA 🔥

“Nah”…. I don’t think adding Ayton is going to make Lakers win a title. That team needs a deep bench too.

This doesn’t matter, Ja still fine in the West

Absolutely No. Ayton is a “Slow Giant,” and can’t shoot. So the LAL will have same issues as last season. Best option is to trade LJ and start rebuilding…

Reality says Larry Bird back injury and all would still rip up LeBron James today from three point laws

Jabbar still can score over LeBron level

These same guys were just saying we’d be in trouble if Ayton signed with someone else. And now, he sucks?

Steph Curry is at a serious disadvantage. No 2-Guard that averages 14 points per game as a 3 Level Scorer himself.

Ya’ll had Anthony Davis! He was way better than Aton 😂😂

LOL at 8:00… Jokic had as many turnovers as field goals in Game 7 these playoffs. He was HORRIBLE in 4/7 games against OKC.
This, a year after blowing a 20 point game 7 lead at home.
Most overrated player ever.
Without AG they get swept.
