Iโll take SGA all day over Edwards. He is humble. He doesnโt have baby mama drama and he is an all around better player in my opinion.

Dogg made a great point. And that word “great” gets thrown around too much.

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 thatโs won a championship is the knicks but itโs been 52 years since they won a title

Shut up! โItโs New Yorkโ. Their standard is so low theyโre celebrating a series win that granted them no trophy.
I think itโs between Brunson and Haliburton for most gained. 100% only Ant or SGA will become face of the league, more so Ant but thatโs not the question.
Haliburton going from voted most overrated to NBA champ, thatโs the biggest stock rise.

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 heโs 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
