    **Anthony Edwards**:
    Anthony Edwards, the explosive shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in the NBA. Known for his athleticism, scoring ability, and charismatic personality, Edwards was the first overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

    **Shai Gilgeous-Alexander**:

Alongside Jayson Tatum, Brown forms one of the most dynamic young duos in the league, with the potential to lead the Celtics to future championships.
    **Jayson Tatum**:
    Jayson Tatum, the star forward for the Boston Celtics, is one of the most talented and polished young players in the NBA. Known for his smooth scoring ability, advanced footwork, and clutch performances, Tatum has quickly become the face of the Celtics' franchise.

    Glad there is someone on the internet who realized how amazing SGA was this playoffs instead of just riding Luka BC the Thunder lost. I thought he undeniably outplayed Luka in 5/6 games in that series, Dallas role players just stepped up while OKC role players faded away and let SGA down. Future is so bright for SGA, excited to watch all these guys play in the Olympics this summer.

    Tatum’s FG and 3P% are absolute shit compared to Jaylen.
    Jaylen is 55 and 37% respectively (Great), and Jayson is 43 and 28%. That’s not just bad compared to Jaylen that’s bad in general, especially when you consider the Celtics are loaded and their first two opponents have been mediocre.

    Well, since you've come around on Kyrie, I think you should root for the Mavs. There was a time when it was possible they were only maybe going to get in the Play In and now they're in the WCF! Had such a sad end to their season last year! Has had so much good buzz with their trade additions! Luka, of course, is hopefully going to give us that kinda crazy playoff performance he hasn't physically been able to provide thus far! All that being said, I am excited that it's them versus the Timberwolves since I also love Ant and am just generally looking forward to seeing him and Luka both going off and talking trash and I love the narrative of them not making the WCF for 20 years.

    • @whatshorts
      @whatshorts  Місяць тому

      That's true. It is funny how we gave them so much crap about tanking the last game last year, but now they have Dereck lively to show for it. I'm from Indiana so I have a soft spot for the Pacers. That town could use a Dub tbh

    You are correlating steals with defense way too much. If someone is playing 40 minutes a game I would be shocked if they did not average 1.4 or 1.3 steals a game. Once you are above 1.6 i would really think someone is being very proactive.

    Boston winning IS a good storyline after all the doubt they’ve received. Everyone counting on them to lose - for years now. It’s way louder here living in Boston. You said it yourself the team plays to win and compete and that can’t be said for a lot of teams. Go Boston.

    • @heyfabbiano

    Sometimes I feel like Boston has to be the worst environment to be drafted to in the league as a talented young player. Tatum has been great since he was a teenager and even made it to a finals! But because everyone hates Boston (and I get it) he gets clowned on constantly.

    • @connorfriedman1984
      @connorfriedman1984 Місяць тому +1

      But then again they get role players like Derrick white (who’s great) being hyped up as all-stars, which he probably didn’t deserve. So maybe people just don’t like Tatum specifically
