Scottie Pippen is historically underrated.
23rd all time in career wins over replacement player (regular and postseason combined).
And in Michael Jordan's two baseball seasons, Pippen averaged 21.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.9 steals, 1.1 threes and 1.0 blocks.
“I was LeBron before LeBron. They want to compare him to the greatest, whether it be MJ or Magic, but he’s more closer to myself."
HBD 6x Champion Scottie Pippen
One of the most versatile players & greatest defenders in NBA history!

I still think Zaccharie Risacher could be good, and a long-term Risacher-Cooper Flagg forward duo is very intriguing.
2024 No. 1 Pick Zaccharie Risacher
2011 No. 1 Pick Kyrie Irving
2025 No. 1 Pick Cooper Flagg
"I'm 6'10", with no shoes. I was like 6'9" last year, so definitely taller. With no shoes, maybe I'm 6'11". - Flagg

Shaquille O'Neal, in his age-38 season, was sixth on the Celtics in wins over replacement player and fifth in total raw plus-minus that season. And he finished that high while only appearing in 37 games.

I don't understand why people keep saying DeMar DeRozan is going to start when it makes infinitely more sense for him to be a sixth man on a team that desperately needs offense when Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray are off the floor.
The Nuggets projected starting 5:
Jamal Murray
DeMar DeRozan
Cam Johnson
Aaron Gordon
Nikola Jokic
The Nuggets have the 4th best odds to win the West on Polymarket, behind the Spurs, Thunder, and Timberwolves. 👀✍️

Lonzo Ball should join the list of all-time NBA "what-ifs."
Only six players in NBA history match or exceed all of his career marks for assist percentage, rebound percentage and steal percentage.
And he had positive net rating swings in every season he played till 2025-26.
Lonzo Ball confirms he’s officially done with basketball while reflecting on his NBA career and everything he went through with injuries 🏀💔
“I don’t think I ever got to my peak, and damn, that sh*t sucks, but at the same time there’s people that don’t have meals at night to eat. That’s how I look at the world.”
