Well I think it's mind boggling stuff from the Mavs
Obviously.....
But the fact that dude only called the Lakers will continue to look so shady
Karma yes but at the end of the day, Lakers benefit which makes it hard to find amusing

Kyrie over Book?! Insulting. This is a pity pick by the league as an olive branch to their fans after their GM threw away the future of their whole franchise.

Kyrie has been very good this year…I think it’s a fair selection. I was surprised Harden made it over Kyrie in the first place.
Kyrie is 24/5/5
Booker is 26/4/6
Same TS%, so pretty close.

If Book didn't have the slow start then maybe I'd be complaining.

I read twitter that Adam silver just picks the next guy who got the most coach votes and in this case, that was Kyrie.

I don't think it's shady; Nico is just an Anthony Davis fanboy.

Just gotta say that watching LeBron play at 40 is incredible. I remember when people thought it was a great accomplishment for Jordan to average 20.0 ppg at the age of 40. At some point, I think even I will have to admit that James is simply better than Jordan—at least as far as talent and overall individual play. The consistency for 22 years is insane.

It gets kinda difficult after the top four.
Shout out to MJ for never being a Laker or Celtic.

Absolutely. What’s crazy he is probably gonna play another few years too. There will really be no argument against him then.

My past arguments against him sound more petty by the day. He gets along to well with other players. He talks to the GM about players he would like to play with.

Lebron can grind out as many .500 seasons as he wants; MJ still better.
