    The disadvantage of building a whole team around one player is that, the Lakers can easily maim the team by locking down that one player. Good luck to them though.

    6th straight year that he has improved and just turned 25 years old, now that’s some mamba mentality for you. I’m sure Kobe is proud of this kid. Sky is the limit. Now go get that ring!

    See… This is how you define "HISTORIC". Steph padding his way to 50 in a blowout that was already decided, in a series that his team was expected to win is "NOT" historic.
    On the other hand, Jayson Tatum getting 51 in a "must win" game that he initially shot poorly in, ended up being the reason why this game turned into a blowout.

    oh boy Tatum roasted the MVP, I remember on his rookie yr he played Lebron really well in 7 games. Now he's grown so much, crazy talent as long as he plays smart and in rhythm, he has all the tools.
