I think this conversation overstates Kyrie's potential. Steph is the only person under 6'5 anywhere near the GOAT discussion. It doesn't make sense to compare Kyrie to guys like KD or Magic as Dan does. Kyrie is not a #1 guy-- it is hard for a PG of his size to be that on a championship level. Nothing wrong with being a great #2.
 
Lakers aren't winning Jack



Their games are being flexed out and they played the Lakers about as well as you can play them and they still became just another Tuesday night in the LeBron James Story. And there's actually people who think theyre going to compete for a title. :roflmao:

Nobody noticed, but the Memphis Grizzlies may have just saved over $100,000,000 thanks to ONE game and ONE player:

Evan Mobley.

On Sunday, the top 2 DPOY candidates after the Wemby injury did battle in Cleveland. Going into that game, Jaren Jackson Jr. was the odds-favorite for winning DPOY ahead of Mobley. Lot on the line.

The results?

Jackson Jr. shot 1/6 when guarded by Mobley, blocking 1 shot and grabbing 3 rebounds.

Mobley shot 2/4 when guarded by Jackson Jr., blocking 3 shots and grabbing 13 rebounds.

The very next day, Evan Mobley (+130) moved ahead of Jaren Jackson. Jr (+135) in DPOY odds.

If you're the Grizzlies, you should be thanking Mobley. A 2nd DPOY for JJJ would mean supermax eligibility. He could command upwards of $345,000,000. 1 game may have robbed JJJ for over $100,000,000.

And Mobley's DPOY case will only grow stronger as the Cavs push to secure homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs.
