FromTheLand+FollowWas Jokic’s 2023 Championship Run Overrated?The Nuggets’ 2023 title run looked dominant, but wasn't the path too easy? They beat: 42-40 Timberwolves — play-in team, missing top defender Jaden McDaniels. 45-37 Suns — KD played just 10 games with the team, CP3 hurt in Game 3. 43-39 Lakers — another play-in team, aging LeBron. 44-38 Heat — play-in team, upset path through the East. Not a single opponent had more than 45 wins. The average record? 43-39. And here’s the fact, Jokic has never beaten a 50+ win team in the playoffs. #Jokic #NBAHotTake #NBADebate #NBAFinals #NBAPlayoffs #NBAUnpopularOpinion #Sports #NBA #DenverNuggets #Joker 10Share
James Allen+FollowStephen A. Smith Goes In on Daryl Morey’s Track RecordSAS didn’t hold back: “You (Daryl Morey) were there for 13 years and didn’t get to the Finals. And you’ve been in Philadelphia, and their behinds are going so backwards badly that people are wondering, are you trying to qualify for the G League… Why would you even give a quote like that about championships?” Let’s hear your thoughts. Is SAS right, or is he being too harsh on Morey’s legacy? #StephenASmith #DarylMorey #NBAHotTake #Sixers #NBADiscussion #NBATalk 30Share
Brittany Mills+FollowWhy Curry Shouldn’t Be in the Top 10I know he’s an all-time great shooter and changed the way teams play, but as a point guard, Steph Curry doesn’t crack my Top 10. He’s a bit undersized, averages just 5 assists per game, and while his three-point percentages are legendary, plenty of players have been All-Stars without getting this kind of GOAT talk. Your thought? I sCurry truly a Top 10 player all-time, or does the hype push him up too far? #NBAHotTake #NBAUnpopularOpinion #NBADebate #Basketball #NBA #Sports 20Share
Brandy Rodriguez+FollowPrime Melo > Prime KDWhen Carmelo was in his prime, his offensive arsenal was ridiculous. Back to the basket, jab steps, silky midrange pull-ups — defenders had no answer. He could light up anyone for 40 without needing a stacked roster behind him. Yeah, KD’s efficiency numbers look prettier, but sometimes efficiency hides how much freedom a scorer really had. Melo’s game was raw buckets, pure isolation skill, no “team hopping” required. Drop peak Melo into today’s pace-and-space era and we’re probably talking 35+ points a night on the regular. #NBAHotTake #DubNation #DenverNuggets #NBAUnpopularOpinion #Melo #KD #NBADebates #NBAHistory #Sports 23Share
