Wtf Celtics ball movement is on fire hahahah
Seems bucks will get another crown this season.
NBA sucks. Just a 3 point shot contest. Miss the ole’ days of battling in the paint for shots. Giannis could literally break wilt’s record if he wanted to. No one can defend him and he can get to the rim for a dunk or 2 foot shot at will whenever he want. Instead they rather kick it out to some 6 foot irish kid for a 3 pointer. They need to move the 3 point line back a couple feet and maybe eliminate the much closer corner threes.
Giannis on okc or the knicks would be crazy
