    This has always been my problem with Stephen A, his obsession with “box office” and “flashy entertainment.” In sports it’s about your production, and in team sports, your contribution to winning basketball. And almost nobody has done that better than Jokic the last 3 years.
    Who cares if he’s boring or his game isn’t flashy? This is the same nonsense that makes Tim Duncan underrated.

    Jaylen Brown getting grilled for 1 terrible game after not being able to perform when put on the spot because of Tatum's injury like we forgot how last year Tatum set an NBA record 100 turnovers last postseason.

    My list, I'm basing this off performance and age, it does matter cause a supermax is an investment to the future. So Curry, Lebron and KD are off by default. (Not saying they're bad hell no, they just reaching that age where a supermax just financially wouldn't make sense)
    1. Giannis
    2. Jokic
    3. Embiid
    4. Luka
    5. Tatum

    On this subject I actually get and agree with what Stephen A is saying. Which is basically to get the top money you need to bring in the top money, it can't just be "they're better at the game", because how is being better at the game going to matter if less people are tuning in to watch them. It's the equivalent to exactly why Connor McGregor gets paid more than everyone in the UFC, because he brings in more PPV buys/viewers.

    He’s been on the record saying Kyrie is worth max dollars ie 50 million a year based on talent and how box office he is but he isn’t worth max years cuz of his unavailability
