Who’s better when it’s all said and done? Hakeem or Jokic?

I personally gotta go Hakeem just every so slightly because of how dominant he was two way.

“Dad, there was 10 secs left on the clock, why did Chris Bosh pass the ball to Ray instead of an open Lebron?” “Son, Bron had 2 turnovers in the last 39 secs & just bricked the shot, Bosh knew that Bron is not to be trusted in big moments.”

Has any team fumbled a SUCCESFUL draft as hard as the Mavericks fumbled the 2018 draft?

Most teams fumble their picks by drafting a guy who wasn't that great and then trade him away (Think about the Hawks drafting Zaccarie Risacher #1 and then trading him for Ryan Nembhard) but has there ever been a team who succesfully drafted 2 future top 10 players in the league in the same class and let BOTH walk away?

Hot Take: in NBA 2K, you should only get a 97-99 if you’re legitimately a once in a lifetime player. (LeBron, Jordan, Shaq etc.)

Most explosive NBA player of all time?

To me 2011 Derrick Rose was the most explosive player I’ve ever seen. His first step, body control and finishing ability at the rim was unmatched. But Vince Carter, Russell Westbrook, Michael Jordan and LeBron James can also be argued. Even throw in Kemp and AI. Curious what everyone else thinks.
