Best things about the 2024 Playoffs

Luka hasnt played great this postseason though. Kyrie on the other hand has been nothing short of amazing.
I agree. Tomorrow game will be interesting. Both teams don't play that well as teams but they all get players able to have fantastic night. Luka-Irwing against PG-Harden. Let's see....
 
This has been hashed and rehashed and rerehashed. They are anything but a small market team. You can like them all you want, and I respect the hell out of the organization, but they are not deserving of any leeway at all.
You must need to hear it again then. They are a small market and they share a state with two huge markets

San Antonio has a TV market size of 1.031 million which is 24th out of 28 teams. In 2022 their metro population was 2,550,960 which is in the bottom-10 of NBA teams. Just because they've drafted well and have won titles doesn't mean they're not small market.

The evidence was provided ad nauseum. Your refusal to accept it doesn't make it invalid. Feel free to go back and look it up again.
 
I'm enjoying watching Anthony Edwards becoming perhaps the best player in the NBA.

The Suns are cooked, but he absolutely killed a team with two elite playoff vets in Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, at 22 years old.

He's a once-every-ten-years alpha dog and just super fun to watch. Inner-circle HOF trajectory.

I think the way Ant, SGA and Wemby showed off this year, it makes you question where Luka ranks in the pecking order for young superstars. I had him solidly top 3 before this season, but right now I would probably put all those 3 ahead of him in "who will be the most dominant player 5 years from now".

However I am happy we traded Donovan before all these guys stepped up / came into the league. Now he looks much more like a tier 2 guy than he did two years ago.

The main thing with Luka is he doesn't impact his team on both sides of the court like the others you mentioned, but as far as being an offensive force, I think he's still way ahead of them.

No disagreement, but my question was "who is the most dominant player 5 years from now".

So it was future tense and used the term "dominant", however you want to interpret that.
 
The state of the nba going forward is in such good hands with all these great young players. It is really enjoyable to see the old guard fall out early so these great younger players can get the attention. You look around everywhere and you see stars in their early to mid 20's leading their teams with great performances.

For me the only answer is Wemby. If he stays healthy we may be looking at the most dominant player in nba history 5 years from now.

I understood and wasn't disagreeing with you.

I think Luka will still be the best offensive player of that group in 5 years. The others might already have a better impact on winning than him because of their defense.
