I Become the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks- Part 1 (2/20/21)

The Bucks finally won last night after a five game losing streak. Unfortunately, they haven’t looked like true championship contenders so far this season. Now, the ultimate goal of resigning Giannis has been accomplished, but we still have to win a championship. So I’m taking over my favorite team and leading them to a championship. Continue reading “I Become the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks- Part 1 (2/20/21)”

My Thoughts on the Harden Mega-Deal (1/15/21)

James Harden finally got traded. After all of the things James Harden was saying and the way he was acting, we all knew that it was going to happen. It doesn’t make the trade any less crazy, though. What makes the trade even crazier is that there are four teams involved, and Harden isn’t theContinue reading “My Thoughts on the Harden Mega-Deal (1/15/21)”

5 Impressive Players So Far (1/3/21)

The NBA has been back for a couple weeks now. Every team has played at least five games. There have been plenty of suprises and disappointments so far. Today I’ll be listing five players that have been impressive so far. It is early, so these players might come back down to earth, but for now,Continue reading “5 Impressive Players So Far (1/3/21)”

The Terrible Takes of NBA Instagram (12/31/20)

Ah, NBA Instagram. Full of a bunch of casual fans who watch one game and think they know everything. The recency bias is there. The only-knowing-big-name-players is there. The pure stupidity is there. All of these factors create a ton of awful takes. I’ve spent a couple weeks finding the absolute worst takes to writeContinue reading “The Terrible Takes of NBA Instagram (12/31/20)”

I Become the GM of the Los Angeles Clippers (12/27/20)

Today, I am becoming the general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers. How am I doing this? NBA2K21! Now, I know 2K isn’t always super accurate, but it’s still the best option for a basketball simulation. I’m using 2K’s MyNBA mode and taking over the Clippers. So how is this gonna work? Well, I’m goingContinue reading “I Become the GM of the Los Angeles Clippers (12/27/20)”

I Become the GM of the San Antonio Spurs (12/22/20)

Today, I am becoming the general manager of the San Antonio Spurs. How am I doing this? NBA2K21! Now, I know 2K isn’t always super accurate, but it’s still the best option for a basketball simulation. I’m using 2K’s MyNBA mode and taking over the Spurs. So how is this gonna work?

2021 NBA Power Rankings (12/21/20)

The 2020-21 NBA season starts tomorrow! Hurray! It hasn’t even been that long since we last had basketball, but it feels like a long time. I’m going to be watching basketball all week (The Christmas day games will definitely be playing while we are at my Grandma’s). So these are my preseason power rankings. IContinue reading “2021 NBA Power Rankings (12/21/20)”

Rudy Gobert’s New Deal/Who Deserves a Supermax? (12/20/20)

Rudy Gobert just got a big-time bag. 5 years, $205 million. That’s the largest contract ever for a big man. Did he deserve it? No! Rudy Gobert is an overappreciated player. He’s the fifth best center in the NBA going into the season (behind Jokic, Embiid, KAT, and Bam), and he could fall lower thanContinue reading “Rudy Gobert’s New Deal/Who Deserves a Supermax? (12/20/20)”

Predicting the Top 100 NBA Players of 2021 (12/17/20)

I’ve constructed top 100 lists before, but never prediction ones. There’s added difficulty to deciding which players will be the best next season. But I think my list turned out better than ESPN’s (DeRozan at 82 really got me). While making this list, I considered four things: stats (of course), eye test (also important), teamContinue reading “Predicting the Top 100 NBA Players of 2021 (12/17/20)”
