Here's my 2025 NBA Big Board
Posted this on my main account and think it definitely belongs here.
Way, way, way too early to victory lap on anything. However, I do feel really good about my process and my conclusion w/my evaluations

From March 2024. Shoutout @ChrisVernonShow
Jalen Brunson last 4 seasons in the playoffs: 29-4-7 on 46/34/84 - every year 50 wins, all star, all nba, now a chip and a FMVP
Ppl still donβt get it with him. They would be saying right now this is 1 of the best players to ever play the sport if he was 4 inches taller.

The Knicks' NBA championship is a paradigm shift to the basketball ecosystem

There should be a bidding war for who does the Landry Shamet doc. This is true for 6 other Knicks players tbh

"It's emotional just considering everything. Training camp deal 2 years in a row on the verge of being out of the league and injuries, ups and downs man. It's crazy.β

My Knicks fan hat is off when I say this.
The Knicks should beat the Spurs in 5.
Spurs have the best player in the world but I think Wembanyama's kryptonite is NY's optionality, specifically 5-out.
NY can pull him from the paint (or make 3s) defend him relatively well w/OG

Never woke up happier to be a New York Knicks fan.
All the heartbreak this kid witnessed for 15 years was worth it

Each of the first four games of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs has been within four points in the final minute of regulation.
The last Finals series to begin with four such games was in 1973, when the Knicks faced the Lakers.

Blaming the series on youth/inexperience is anti-Knicks and takes credit away from an insane team

The OG Anunoby putback is a win for NBA draft combine measurements.
7-2.25 wingspan and no documented vertical but that had to be at least a 36.5 inch max vert

Who did the media think this team was? They're not the Cavs, or 76ers. Soft teams with soft leadership.
They have proven winners

"I don't think I've ever been more wrong about a team in sports in my entire life than I was about the Knicks coming into these playoffs."
@Carsobi of @Nerd_Sesh is the 2nd person I've heard say this about the Knicks so far during this NBA title run
"If (the Knicks) win this title I think it will be the most wrong I've ever been from start to finish about a team in any sport."
Thank you @DannyParkins for your honesty on the @righttimebomani. Can't wait to see how many talking heads admit this before the parade in Manhattan

Jalen Brunson thrives under pressure in a way few ever have.
Because of that, and my very recent 12-round bout with anxiety, I wanted to learn more about his relationship with pressure so I can continue to better understand myself.
