I would say good.
He has to chase Wemby and Chet (and Flagg very soon) all around the court over the next few years. He needs to be in shape for the immense effort it will require.

They play 3 days in a row? How is that possible?I'll be in San Antonio Nov 8-10, and Spurs are home for three in a row.

Yeah but that power is part of his game. Think it's better to be lean and strong as opposed to being Ozempic skinny. Granted, both are better than being fat: https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1824959961887113664

Of course not. That doesn't change that you misread and thought I said they played three days in a row, they don't. Let it go my man. Just meant I hade more than one chance to catch a game.

I think a clearer way to say it would be that the spurs will be at home on November 9…might as well say the spurs will have 10 home games in November…I’m a copy editor and also I’m very salty because I just got sniped on Jayden daniels in the ff draftThe 8-10 covers a Thursday, Saturday and Monday?Three home games in a row, Chuck.

I wasn't the clearest either, but thought it made sense. Was just happy I had more than one chance to fit in a game.

In no order as well
Wilt Chamberlain. Steph Curry, Baron Davis, Jokic, Giannis, Joe Dumars, Jrue Holiday, Tim Duncan, Boban, and Marc Gasol.

In no particular order and without putting too much thought into it:
David Thompson
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
Tim Duncan
Steve Nash
Tim Hardaway
Chris Webber
Charles Barkley
Hakeem Olajuwon
Nikola Jokic
Capella

Lebron and Penny clear everybody else for me. After that Kemp, Vince, MJ, Magic, Barkley, Dream, AI and Jokic in no order. Joker probably gonna be up there for me pretty high though. He’s so fun and unique.
Navin Johnson
Footballguy
$2.5M buyout as well. PHI is only allowed to cover $850k due to CBA, so he has to pay $1.65M out of pocket

Great call on Vince Carter. I would have to knock someone off my list for him.

First, remember I wasn't born until the 90s.
1. Dirk
2. Luka
3. Derrick Rose
4. Steph
5. Giannis
6. Jordan (literally from just clips and last dance lol)
7. Jason Kidd
8. Tyson Chandler
9. Tim Duncan
10. Wemby may already be up there...

Jake Fischer said that yabusele and Real Madrid were working together to figure out an equitable solution, so I have to think that he is paying less than the 1.65. It would be kind of nuts for him to pay that full amount, although maybe he wasn’t even making a million this year in salary, so it could be close to a wash. Coming to the nba does give him a chance to increase his future earnings, but he really didn’t make any money out of this Olympics run.
If we're going just personal subjective favorite, I have a few esoteric ones: Barkley, David Robinson, Drexler, KG, Kemp, Mitch Richmond, Vince Carter, Sacramento-era Jason Williams, Peja, Zach Randolph. Honorable mentions that I liked from other people's lists: Magic (I only caught the tail end of his prime but he was still influential), Hardaway, Giannis.

I was born in '85 so I missed a lot of big time players in the 80s and early 90s, but got big into collecting cards with my dad around probably '92, so that's when I started to pay any attention. There is No particular order:
Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
Kevin Johnson

I actually kind of can't believe the lack of Dirk love on these lists :(

familiarity breeds contempt in some cases. Dirk and Webber are good examples for me. As a Kings fan I unsurprisingly love Webber, but his insistence on settling for free throw line jumpers always drove me half insane, and this was even before the analytics era, so he doesn't make my arbitrary list. Similarly, I watched Webber and the other early 2000s PFs just cook Dirk on defense all the time and I could never take him totally seriously. But watching Dirk beat Lebron in 2011 was one of my favorite basketball memories ever that didn't involve a team I cared about.
I'm a little surprised that Curry isn't on all these lists (probably a top 3 most fun player I've ever seen, I just don't like how he was on a few super teams and tortures the Kings) and that Anthony Edwards is (seems like recency bias).
Shane Battier's feelings are hurt.
Williams played 8-9 years after leaving the Kings and I don't think I've ever seen one Grizzlies or Heat highlight of him doing something fun. I'm not totally convinced he wasn't kidnapped and replaced by an alien after being traded for Bibby.
