The Official 2025/2026 NBA Season - The New York Knicks Are The 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!



I get that people want to poke fun at Harden’s defense but do people not know who Jalen Brunson is? :confused: Jalen Brunson can cook any almost any defender in the league and if you not hand checking or the refs not letting you hand check, the ball handler wins every time especially if they got a bag. He’s cooked Jaylen Brown and that dude is one of the best defenders the league has.
 


Honestly, I’m surprised that more athletes doesn’t take on certain aspects of martial arts training.

Sport science generally focuses on maximizing your physical abilities even when your body may not be optimal for certain extreme training. Faster and stronger doesn’t always mean better.

However, martial arts training helps with balance, flexibility, calmness in stressful moments, mind-body cohesion, and discipline. Plus, the knowledge is transferable, so people around absorbs your energy.

A good balance both seems like a decent approach.

It wasn’t just Harden on Brunson that was the issue. It was Harden’s overall effort on defense that was the issue. That man is lazy asf on defense. He flops on defense, he doesn’t contest shots well, his rotation efforts are abysmal, and boxing out means opening Amazon packages to him.

Brunson is going to cook, but when your not giving any effort elsewhere, then the games becomes 4 on 5 every time.

Gotcha. Actually after I posted this, somebody clipped up Harden’s lazy defense highlights. I was coming back to delete my post when I got a chance cuz….y’all right. I thought it was a case of “good defense, better offense” but I was wrong lol

I got where you were coming from. Brunson is a beast to defend. But that dude Harden makes these so much easier for offensive players. lol
 

Victor Wembanyama’s agent met with Rob Pelinka last summer to learn how Kobe Bryant mentally prepared himself, per
@ramonashelburne
.

“One summer Bryant had become obsessed with studying how great white sharks hunt and attack their prey. So it became Pelinka's job to find him the best place in the world to do that -- which is apparently Guadalupe, an island 150 miles off the coast of Baja, Mexico, where you can go cage diving in the crystal-clear waters.
Bryant would later write in The Players' Tribune in 2017 that his study of great whites helped him defend Allen Iverson.”
