      @dre27321 agreed. Anyone can run the games and see how it plays out, but its always nice to have some familiar faces. I think JJ and the dunker spot would provide some analytical commentary and some comedy if they sat down and watched it. I know the dunker spot did something like this with the allstar players for fun.

      These days nobody has a post game. So they don't think post players will dominate. In-shape Shaq would get 60+. Simply because in 10 minutes, one center will be out with 6 fouls. The next 10 minutes, the next. And then there really is nobody to stop him, BBQ every minute.
      People salivating over Curry shooting off the screens of big body shaq... Buddy, you're forgetting big body Shaq manhandling players like Curry on the block, because there is nobody left to guard him.

    JJ dropped the ball in not mentioning one thing with Shaq and Curry. Shaq setting offball screens for curry to get open would be absolutely devastating. Convincing shaq to do that also might be devasting to a coach.
    Shaq was also a very underrated passer. Shaq hitting Curry woth darts coming off screens while hes getting doubled would be a sight to behold.

    • @cptfwiffo
      @cptfwiffo Před měsícem +1

      Nah. Shaq in the post. It's BBQ chicken the first 10 minutes against most centers... Maybe Embiid can hold up without fouling? Even that I doubt. Jokic doesn't have the footwork. Lopez or Sabonis looks like a best (but half) measure. Then the hamburgers get added. And the sauce. Because by then, it's Klay having to guard Shaq in the post -- the rest are already out with 6 fouls. Or wondering why they're lying in the second ring.

    Love this team. Absolutely love it.
    My starters were Steph, Bobby Portis, Herb Jones, and Keegan Murray. I like the Markkanen choice better than my Portis pick; I was trying to save money for bench depth, but apparently it can work with Lauri. With Steph in the backcourt I wanted some defense, size, length, and complementary shooting.
    As an aside, Tyus Jones doesn't get enough press; remember when Ja Morant was hurt last year and the Grizzlies had pretty much the same record with and without him? Tyus Jones was his backup. Then Jones signed with Washington, and now when Ja is hurt the Grizzlies are trash. They still have good players - JJJ and Bane are still there - but now the team doesn't function properly. Jones has been good but not amazing with Washington, pretty much like he was with Memphis; I think he probably needs talented teammates around him, but does a great job of maximizing them without needing to get his own stats. Curry and Shaq qualify as talented. Jones is literally the perfect backup PG for this group.

    Danny2K should build all the teams that JJ makes and put them in a league on 2K and see what happens!

    Larry Bird would be a fun build around. Maybe a team built around him, Embiid, and a guard that is good at finishing.

    Wemby would honestly be really good as a 4 as a wing defender and maybe even a 3 and d guy

    i feel like kcp is such a perfect fit for a championship contender theres a real reason he has 2 championships. a poa defender that can shoot is just so valuable and he's elite at both

    This is a really cool video series, but might start to get awkward as JJ consumes all of the most efficient contracts in the NBA.
    You could sneak Trey Murphy III on to any team for $3mm and significantly improve them.
