Lauri Markkanen Hype & Appreciation Thread

If you told us you hate burgers and fries we are going to assume you don’t like In-N-Out or Whataburger or Five Guys.
How dare you insinuate that you know what anyone likes or doesn't based on the things they state they hate!!!

That's fair, but not at all what happened.

What if I told you that I like basketball, but enjoy when the games are important more than when the result of the game is unimportant. To me, the competition aspect is a big reason why I like basketball. Would you tell me I don't enjoy basketball? That is exactly the dumb conversation that was had lol.

Of course, because if someone says they don't like a burger because there's pickles on it, it's because they hate burgers as a whole and not because they hate the pickles.
 
Since we're continuing with burgers and basketball, could someone give a cliff notes version for those of us who aren't going to bother looking it up?

The dilemma that others have mentioned between Lauri's success and our tanking/team building is something I dislike. For me personally it makes the league less compelling when Lauri having the season he's had, and as a result winning games, can be seen as a bad thing or that the best thing to do is trade him anyways. I enjoy the league more when it means something to win and it's not better to lose. When winning is seen as a negative symptom or byproduct, it makes me less interested in the league. Because this is what I enjoy about, HH decided that it must be because I dislike basketball. I swear I enjoy basketball, but he has decided for me.

That is a nice what if... but what you said was the NBA was ruined for you... cool. I know you said you can't stand watching college basketball... okay.

Now maybe you were just being overly whiny and dramatic but it would be fair to say - Maybe you don't like basketball? Which is what I suggested and clearly it struck a nerve.

I simply suggested that someone that says the NBA is ruined for them and they can't enjoy it might not be that into basketball. That means that I can read thoughts and am clearly incorrect.
