Are you kidding me? That fight was his 4th game of the year.
Playoff contention? Pretty sure we were about 500. at the time. And nobody knows exactly when he got hurt, so he was collecting L's until he finally decided to rest. Not all his fault, but he shares some of the blame.
I agree he should be in the top 25, but lets not put him too high on that list until he starts putting up wins to go along with his stats. Right now, it seems as he's a better version of KLove.
And if that fight took his "soul," then Butler may be right about him being soft.
Wolves were 3-0 at the time of the fight.
And you didnt read my post, you went straight to spaz mode.

99% sure j2j was using sarcasm. Thus the "/s", sarcasm switch.
Seriously, go back and watch his demeanor before the fight. He was having fun, smiling, air grinding, and playing insane basketball. After the fight, he went back to being the same whiny turd he was under Thibs.
Sarcasm goes so well over the enter-net.
Spaz mode? I think you think too highly of me.

Re: Top 25 Current NBA Players
You mean the same soulless guy who put up 26/11/4.5 and 1.2 blocks per for the year?
Maybe he wasn't having the fun you imagine him because of the team he was saddled with. (Wiggins)
Oh and yes, I did read your post, and stomached my way thru most Wolves games this year. You said he was "soulless" after the fight 4 games into the season, IMO he turned it up a notch. I even went to a couple of games, and saw him laughing and having so much fun during and after a loss, that it made me sick. So not sure which retched soul you saw.
Just because you see things a certain way, doesn't mean it's true. And with all the little childish antics like calling his "BFF" "Jill" made it look like sarcasm after it was pointed out. But then you said it's not, and you accuse me of spazzing on you? Geez dude, did YOU even read your post?
I always respected your post, but you seemed to overreach on this topic.
Lighten up Francis.

Re: Top 25 Current NBA Players
Most of the list is okay, Kawhi misses too many games to be #1, #1 is clearly Giannis maybe LeBron depending on what you think he'll do in the playoffs. Jimmy Butler is FAR FAR too low, he's a top 15 player for sure.
Also, Zion should absolutely be in the top 25 easily. He's borderline a superstar already and there's not much reason to think he'll get worse. First 18 games coming back from an injury where he is not in peak physical shape and he is a freakish offensive player averaging 28.7 ppg per 36 .623 TS% 3.6, 10.6 ORB%.

Lebron
Curry
Doncic
Harden
Tatum
Anthony Davis
Durant (post injury)
Beal
Siakam (the next Shawn Kemp...)
Jokic (a bit more consistent than Embiid)
Kyrie (assuming he knows he is second fiddle in Brooklyn when Durant comes back)
Lillard
Embiid
Trae Young
Butler
Zion (new generation's pre-knee injury Larry Johnson)
Morant (reminds me of Gary Payton with better hops)
KAT
Kemba Walker
Westbrook (pains me to put him this low, but his low efficiency ratings merit this slot)
Gobert
Adebayo (he will be first or second best player on a couple of championship teams within the next 6 years)
Olidipo (post-injury)
Simmons
CPIIIl
Porzingis
Booker
I've got DLo slotted with about 10 other players in the 35 - 45 range.

Re: Top 25 Current NBA Players
I whipped that list together fairly quick, some things I'd change. No PG13 would have to be adjusted. Probably right about Davis and Lillard but they wouldn't go much higher regardless, maybe swap around those two for paul and butler.

Re: Top 25 Current NBA Players
I will say one thing, I am excited to see Durant basically on his own. Lets see him carry a lot more load as I don't think personally he could have led the Raptors to a title last year, or have won a title with the Kevin "Curry Stopper" Love led Cavs, or kept Houston as a top seed like Harden. My hate probably makes me biased but now we get to see it, hopefully at 100%.

Re: Top 25 Current NBA Players
No, you are right. Durant couldn't get OKC over when he was much younger. Durant is a loser and coming back from major injury and not young anymore. Plus he's playing with another loser in Kyrie.

Agree or disagree? Let’s see your list
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.
