Wow, Philly won with Embiid going 12-6-5 Simmons 6-7-5 and Tobias Harris only having 9 points.

Way to go Jimmy Butler. CARRYING his team. 30, 11 and 5

According to his bumbling coach, it's James Butler.

Jokic is built like Bryant Reeves was but has actual skill.   

It's amazing to see someone of his body type move the way he does and have the agility he has.  9/10 people with a body shape like that can't do any of that.
I'd just be happy having his body shape without being able to move like that.  would be a real help when trying to see over people at events or the theater  ;)

I don't know man, I'd rather maybe struggle to see over a crowd than have to live my life like this:



On every flight, bus, train, etc. for the rest of my life.  Being big and tall without the money I think would be miserable.  I'm a normal 5'11, and I'm constantly uncomfortable, can't imagine what it's like for those taller/bigger.
Yeah, I am 6' 230 lbs though in decent shape and I get real uncomfortable and don't fit great at Fenway and the Garden or when flying in regular coach. I always do whatever I can to get either front row seats or exit door seats when I fly. I also feel really crunched in the back seat of most cars.

Being 7' 300 lbs must be awful in many, many ways.

I'm 5'7" and get uncomfortable flying because I don't feel like I have enough room. Being any taller than that... I can only imagine.

Never in a million years would I want to be taller than 6'4" or so without the ability to monetize it. The world is just not built for really tall people unless they have the funds to buy more comfortable seating/custom stuff. You're even gonna spend more on food with more body to feed. Plus larger bodies tend to break down faster and a lot of extreme height can be due to underlying conditions.

Fortunately my genes make that very moot lol. But a 7 footer who can't make money athletically would be a really rough thing to be.

He’s beyond washed. And he got FMVP for his defense on LeBron. It was like giving Tony Allen the award for checking Kobe in 2008 (I’m exaggerating, but still).

He’s really not anything special. Never was, even in his prime.

His skill-set in the post season has been amazing for the Warriors though where would they be without him... Losing games he makes winning plays.

What skill-set exactly?

Good defender, yes. Beyond that? Meh at everything else. Bad FT shooter. 3PT% aided by teammates getting him wide open looks.

GSW can make many players with skill-set similar to his look good.
