The game of Basketball has been my passion since I was 5 years old. I grew up as a kid watching my dad’s recorded VHS tapes of playoff games through the 70s and 80s, and collected all the Basketball cards. Something about the game and what it represents just hooked me from a very young age.
My love for the game only continues to grow as time goes on. I love studying and analyzing the game, with an unbiased perspective. Feel free to subscribe, follow me on social media, and celebrate this amazing game and it’s rich history with me!
I post videos every week on NBA history, predictions, hypothetical scenarios and current NBA topics.

What is your top 3 in the NBA Power Rankings??
Should have been Bucks Nuggets last year. And should be again this year.
Gotta be the Bucks, Nugs (because they are defending champs) and Phx now that they have more scoring and players around KD-Book-Beal
Just starting to watch, but for me this is very fair… Not like the durant to warriors one.
An amazing combo, but i doubt both sray healthy for the post season
❤❤❤ 💯
Top 3
1. Denver
2. Boston
3. Milwaukee
The east is becoming unruly. I can see Jru going back to Philly or 3 way trade involving Hero and James hardness
Way to sum it all up. My top 3 right now are Bucks, Nuggets and Warriors. These are the 3 I am most looking out for right now.
Their pick and roll is going to be the greatest of all time but the perimeter defense is going to be tragic, Middleton on one knee, Dame and Malik Beasley is not gonna stay in front of anybody. Their depth also is a huge question mark, Bobby Portis and then who?
Watching Blazers closely for years, one thing people don't get about Dame is how fiercely he is always defended. Despite that, he is one of the most prolific scorers in the NBA. And now he may show some outstanding numbers.
Bro tf they have absolutely no chance against my glorious Luka 👨🦽
Power rankings:
1. Nuggets
2. Bucks
3. Heat
4. Suns
5. City Thunder (yes, call me crazy)
Loving these Videos where you just give your opinion on recent events 💯
Its crazy to see so many Teams being a contender or at least a wildcard/darkhorse Contender
Greetings as always 🇩🇪❤️
The suns and bucks are probably the closest things to superteams now in the nba. A couple top 10-15 players and a third top 20-25ish player
Horns sets with them about to go crazy
I predict Dame will average 28 and Giannis will average 29. They will absolutely dominate and their fg% will rise.
we got jimmy we good 🤝🔥
Will the NBA cancel that trade like they had done in the past with Chris Paul going to Lakers?
Or they are too small to do it now?
This still doesn't compare to AD joining Lebron
This idea that the Bucks have a "Big 3" is ridiculous. Damian isn't anywhere near the player Kobe was. Giannis is nowhere near as dominant as Shaq was. And Khris won't be the same player at his age and with his injury history.
Reminisicent of the "Big 3" of Kobe, Nash and Dwight.
The Bucks have found the secret to offense, in three simple steps.
#1: Have Giannis and Dame.
#2: Run the PnR
#3: Score on every possession because fuck you
Nuggets, Bucks
If the bucks can sign holiday back my goodness it's over
It's not a big 3. It's a big 2.
Bucks vs nuggets finals would be one for the ages.
I'm a Lakers fan too, but my first comparison was that Dame and Giannis are going to be what Harden and Embiid were supposed to be in the playoffs. I think the Bucks just immediately became the best team in the East, but we'll have to see if they're going to be the best team in the NBA. I'm still thinking that even in the packed West that the Lakers can still be a top 3 seed.
People are giving Middleton too much credit. He's a 17, 5, and 4 guy for his career which isn't bad. But those are not superstar/franchise player numbers. He gets injured a lot and has made 3 all star teams. Yes the Bucks starting lineup is solid. But it's not a big 3 or a super team and idk how anyone could say that it is. Middleton won't average 15-17 ppg this season when Giannis and Dame are his teammates.
The thing with Steph is he is actually a smart help defender and a willing one at that. You can be the most athletically gifted player and still be a terrible defender because either you don't want to commit on the defensive side, you lack the defensive IQ or both.
I hope with Giannis doesn't have to force ugly 3pt shot of his own now..and can just do his work on bullying under the basket and transition offense.
My Bucks are locked and loaded
THE HEAT ARE FACKED, JONNY BOI!!!
you get it wrong. Steph is an average to good defensive player while dame is straight up atrocious.
Time to be a bucks bandwagon!
I want to know giannis opinion about this move. Does he still wants to go to other teams even after this?
I'm pretty excited to see what happens with this team
Yea but they also lost another defensive player in Grayson Allen. May not been clean but still not many complained Rodman when he joined the bulls n Jordan. N he no matter a dirty defense player his time. Lillard better work on his defense too get out what I call the harden effect. Only play offense..be a 2 way player lillard…
If you'd been a die-hard Bucks fan who experienced 1990 to 2015, you'd say yeah, it's pretty fair.
Lillard is not going to get it done, mark my words, he’ll come up small in the biggest playoff moments
Max Straus and Vincent are gone from Miami that team is not in tact from last year. Those guys played important roles in that finals run
Is Dame gonna take a back seat to Giannis is the question. He's definitely not scoring 30 plus a game
As I've gotten older I've gotten less and less of a specific team fan and more and more of a general basketball fan, I actually watch a bunch of different leagues outside of the NBA from Euroleague to TBT and OTE, collage, even some Slam Ball occasionally lol There's some players I like more than others, some I don't, and I have soft spots for a few teams though most are crap or like the Lakers where I just don't like a lotta the roster.
So I was honestly hoping to see Denver win another to show it wasn't a fluke and that Jokic is really that good. But unfortunately they lost some significant pieces and their front office has done a horrible job at replacing em. So I'm honestly kinda stoked about this trade. Doesn't feel like a bought and paid for super team (not yet at least) but definitely looks like it could produce some phenomenal ball. I can't wait to see how it plays out.
Whatever team in the east gets Jrue is beating Milwaukee. Especially Boston
6:55 Gabe and Max are gone, my brother.
If may look impactful now, but this will be a BIG Problem Two years from now.
Now the Bucks are really pressured to win a Championship this coming season or the next. If not, this will be the biggest failure in the history of big trades.
However, the Bucks can recoup assets if they trade Both Giannis and Dame IF THEY DON"T win the Championship next June.
I don't believe that this trade will convince Giannis to sign another contract with the Bucks. If they win the Championship, he might sign. If not, Goodbye Milwaukee.
I dead ass said that as well. A small shaq and Kobe or small penny n shaq 😂
Team freak time ( pause) team Greek time 😂
I feel he gone drive less and shoot more and soft layups like harden. No need to go hard when as soon as you drop it to Greek, it ain’t coming back. He scoring it. You might see lillard dunk less shoot more and less injuries
Allen Iverson is the greatest player of all time. You cannot compare Lillard to him. Lillard will choke and lose in the playoffs
