It actually is wasn’t that at all. It involved a lot of cutting, and screen off of the drop into the post. There weren’t and haven’t ever been an abundance of “back to the basket” scorers who were dominant and all the ones that were dominant are most likely in the hall of fame, and on the 75th anniversary team.

Well said🤝🏽
I'm not much of a basketball fan these days, but listening to smart and informed people discuss it is as interesting as listening to smart and informed people discussing most topics. I'm also impressed with how gracious LeBron is in these interviews. I've seen him enough on sports center to know he'd give a player his props, but for a guy on the very short list for GOAT to give other players, including role players, the respect he gives them is refreshing. If a player is good at something, LeBron is smart enough to recognize it, and confident enough to give credit where credit is due. That's cool.
As someone who never played organized basketball growing up, these podcast are so insightful 🙏

Facts I love that they are bringing back real basketball talk. How the game is actually played on a professional level. This what we been missing.
What I appreciate about Chet is his efficiency. He's the 3rd option behind SGA and Jalen Williams which means he gets limited touches and shots. And yet he doesnt waste his opportunities. If one of the 2 is having an off night, he can also step his game up. He's a vital piece for OKC.

I feel like espn and others, the way they conduct a program, has dumbed the casual fan down. The game is so much more complex than the narrative on espn and ect. They completely miss the point of covering a game. They don't break down the game at all. This is so refreshing. I can't express this enough

Man I been saying this for a couple years now. They have literally destroyed the essence of basketball. The fans are not even fans anymore. It’s so bad that you see everybody now coming to watch this because they actually talk about the game in of itself. The game of basketball is much more than a screaming match. Much more than Lebron and MJ. It’s so bad where they have taken the game. It’s sad.

Aren't they supposed to be experts in the game to analyze and break down what happened for the casual viewers??

@@Wedoheal Nah you right. Good thing about TNT is the fact that they joke a lot but have dedicated segments to breaking down certain parts of the game (tho not as much as when it was just Ernie and Kenny) meanwhile ESPN is just narrative bull

A lot of people don't want information, they want entertainment. Which is fine
Chet is a small forward if he didn’t have center responsibilities. He can attack closeouts, attack off the dribble, pick n pop, and you can switch some actions thanks to his mobility at C. They run ghost screens for him too, and get him the ball in the fast break for trail 3s. And he’s a good defender. Fits great in OKCs positionless style

Completely different subject, but I remember being 16, and hating English Literature classes... I then met a teacher who taught the 'science' of English... Small things blew my mind...like any word that ends in 'ity' will be a noun... The larger concepts around the science of English had me hooked.
