    Okay. Why does it cost more money for the tank top!?!? There’s CLEARLY less shirt than the t-shirt which costs less?

    Naz Reid is already overpaid. Had he gone to FA, no one would have paid him $42M for 3 years. Are we forgetting the the Wolves paid Rudy Gobert an ungodly sum for mediocre production? The Wolves have a serious problem evaluating talent.

    I literally had the who’s the top 5 players in the nba 5 years from now thought experiment yesterday. Just in time for the Wiz to be BACK!!😂

    THe more important Stat line for Naz Reid the T woles were 7- 0 when he started without Gorbert and Towns…….. small sample size but still matters

    Jokic is nothing like Tim Duncan imo. Big reason why Duncan wasn’t the undisputed best player in the league and face of the league is because he didn’t score or assist enough. Jokic is far more of a scorer and assister especially in the playoffs. Jokic will be the undisputed best player for the coming years.

    These guys can’t imagine the face of the league with a different personality. Imo he can be like a Messi. A guy that is somewhat unreachable and intriguing. Like people will wonder how he is. And his humbleness like Messi will be something that will be admired by many. I think it will happen.

    I think multiple championships is required to be face. And there needs to be a back to back in there. That's how you solidify your legacy with casual fans. Dominating for 2 entire years.

    I remember when Victor and Zach Eddy played in U19, and people were bragging Eddy is 7'4. I was like – nonsense, either Eddy is not that tall at all, or 17 year old Victor is 7'5, because he is clearly taller thatn Eddy. It was hard to point point how tall Victor his, he was obviously very tall, but he was playing against players I dont know, but it was hard to believe anyone that agile being 7'4+. But then 21-22 season started and he made Euroleague debut, I tell yeah, even back then kid was 7'5, he was towering over guys I know for sure were 7'1 and taller, just watching him next to Youssoupha Fall was crazy, he made Fall look short. I know that some North Americans still cant buy he is that tall, I telling you, he is that tall, he is freaking huge.

    Italy is not super pissed and Bacnhero, lots of spicy comments and head lines, dude made himself public enemy number 1 in that country.

    Towns is the only trade chip the Wolves have for the bigs. The Gobert trade was a massive misstep. Basically giving up 4 first rounders, Walker Kessler, Malik Beasley, and Jared Vanderbilt, and a pick swap.

    They need to recoup that ammo so they can build around Ant. He's the real deal. Ant has top 5 in the league potential. He's the player you build around.

    59:18 I think Duncan can still be a franchise face, even without the personality. He makes up for that by being a Good Samaritan, playing for the good of basketball. Spurs have always valued players with high character who won't cause distractions or taint the league's image. Three of the titles Spurs won were surrounded in some kind of controversy or league crisis: the 1999 NBA lockout where players and owners bickered over money, and was this close to a cancelled season; the 2004 Malice At The Palace with Ron Artest fighting a fan and fans worried for their safety (their 2005 Finals opponent was Pistons, a participant of brawl); and 2014 Donald Sterling scandal. I think of Spurs as a moral compass, someone who keeps the league in check, and Duncan is a representation of that. It's okay to have a glue guy as a face – maybe Sixth Man or something?
