I’m a Blazer fan but so much respect for this guy.. Consistently making the right play just dissecting defenses.. Probably the highest IQ player in the league today.. And the best offensive center I’ve seen

Joker is amazing. Wish the refs gave him more respect and called the fouls they call for KD & Booker all the time.

Attaboy. Getting on the same lists as Magic huge averages in the playoffs, and beating Wilt for all time triple doubles in the playoffs.
