Cam Thomas is reminding me of Linsanity.

OKC kicking the Laker's butts while Lebron chases personal glory as a Laker and the Celtics sit atop the league standings is so fitting.

I guess they’re allowed to stop the game for something like this

So we went from Michael, to Kobe, to Lebron, to…?

Not an LBJ fan, but have to say it’s going to be weird when he’s gone.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The next generation will be JT, Luka and Jokic imo

My guess would be Giannis.   Then you’ll get someone who isn’t in the league yet.

I enjoy the Lakers getting beaten on their home court by a sub-.500 team on the night when Lebron gets his record.  Good job, OKC.

Starting to think it won’t be one player. Maybe Tatum/Luka could share it like Magic/Bird did. Both are still young at 23 and 24. Would be a fun rivalry.

If Giannis didn't play in Milwaukee, I think he'd already be the face of the league.  And to be clear, it isn't just that he plays in Milwaukee, it is his personality plus him playing in Milwaukee that leads to it probably won't be him (though it should be).  I'm guessing it will probably be Doncic.  He has the sort of fiery personality that will make him very popular and he is obviously incredibly talented and has already had a decent playoff run when he had incredible stats.

Decent chance of that considering how much promotion there’s been of him even before he’s entered the league.  I couldn’t imagine trying to live up to that pressure, but he seems up to it, which will probably aid in his greatness.
