Darius Acuff Jr is this generation’s Stephon Marbury. Same measurables at 6’2 180, 6’6 wingspan, all muscle, wiggly guard, excellent scorer, feel, strength, speed, pace, and knowledge. Pound for pound he’s a top 3 player in the country now. In football terms Acuff Jr is the
Kawhi- Mid major player
Dame- Mid major player

Phoenix GM James Jones has pure basketball eyes. He put together a well oiled roster. His build out over the years was nothing short of brilliant. He made great draft picks despite the noise, hired the right coaches, and signed the right players.

This years MVP for me is Chris Paul. A 35 year old 6’0 PG that has the most IMPACT. Every where he plays he resurrects the franchise. He’s resurrected three franchises in his career. Hornets, Clippers, and now OKC. It’s not popular but it’s real.

Anthony Edwards will be the next Michael Jordan(Someone said this about Deshawn Stevenson so I can say it about this kid lmfaooo). 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Woke up in the middle of night in tears. I miss you bro. Like some days I just struggle. I haven’t accepted it dog. The conversations we had play back in my head over and over. I’m in denial my dude. Some days I just can’t deal. I be at a loss for words my dude.
Paul George came out publicly and said he was battling some depression and guess what happened? A week later TV platforms are bashing him cause he had a bad game. Dude admitted he was struggling but these stations keep kicking him for clicks. Disgusting. Get well Paul George.❤️
KD smiles like a proud father as he watches a generation he help build have their moment. All in the mist of battle. This is beautiful. As you get older you’ll understand what I mean. KD one of the greatest of all time.

Chris Paul will go down as the most under appreciated overlooked, Hall of Fame player ever. All because his play style never appealed to the average on looker. Meaning he never dunked, averaged 30 points, or physically looked the part. He just won everywhere and went home.

I’ve been asked to breakdown Bronny’s game: He’s is a 6’4 combo guard with excellent defensive instincts and upper body strength. He excels in open court and also has a good feel on offense. He’s a streaky but confident shooter. He’s actually good. Well done

Brandon Ingram doesn’t get the same Jayson Tatum praise and I have a problem with that. There’s some things that could make Brandon stand out more. Tatum is a legitimate star BUT so is Ingram. The only separator is that Tatum plays under a brighter light.

My eye test on James Harden: The most difficult cover in the world and here’s why. I call him a “Bait” scorer. He baits his defenders to make a decision before he reacts. He has a variety of counters that force the defender to play chess with him. 8/10
times you have no chance.
Patrick Mahomes dad was a pro and taught him the ropes. Steph Curry dad was a pro and taught him the ropes. Both have huge contracts and championships. Upbringing plays a huge part in all of this. Both dads molded their kids to be this. People with kids understand what I’m saying
Jimmy Butler brought his dog tough winning attitude to Minnesota they didn’t want him, he brought it to Philly they didn’t want him, so Miami accepted Jimmy’s mentality and now they’re winners. Some dudes win their way. That’s Jimmy Butler. Be careful Milwaukee.

A 25 year old leads a bunch of college age kids to a number 1 seed while he averages 30pts, 53%FG, and 2 steals. The NBA MVP has become the most watered down award in all of sports… His fan base and the OKC franchise deserve a better outcome.

Cooper Flagg’s defensive versatility is world class. His ability to defend the entire position tree while also displaying offensive explosion is rare. He’s a Andrei Kirilenko archetype. Cooper is the best HS prospect I’ve seen since Derrick Rose. His skills translate to college,
Damian Lillard is the first mid major PG I evaulated back in 2012 that I said would rock the NBA. Ja Morant is my favorite mid major PG ever and is the last one that I evaulated that I said would torch the NBA. This is a moment for every MM PG. There’s no loser in this for me.❤️
The NFL MVP should be Justin Jefferson. The MVP award has turned into which QB is having the best season. I believe all skill positions should be considered when choosing a MVP.

Leave NBA players alone in pick up games. They aren’t the normal dudes that you play against at your local gym on Wednesday nights. Trae shut down Madison Square garden for crying out loud 🤣🤣🤣
Ja Morant 27pts 14ast win against the Lakers. Media- *Crickets*
Zion 35pts 0ast 6 turnovers loss against Lakers. Media- He’s the ROY, look at his dominance and power.
Be true to the game and stop it.
I like both kids but quit the goal post moving.

There’s only 3 NBA players this season that’s worthy of MVP consideration. The other names that I’ve seen imo is just to pacify fan bases. There’s only 3 players that are MVP worthy. You don’t need stats to make these cases. Cut out the circus and talk basketball.

I’d prefer Steph Curry scoring 45pts than KD scoring 45. Curry’s points are more impactful, stronger, and cut deeper. This might go over the casual fan head.

They said Trae was too small in HS then he became a 5⭐️ recruit.

Just couldn’t let the dude walk home huh? Or maybe acknowledge that he knew he was under the influence so he did the smart thing and parked his car? You baited him after he spoke to you with respect. So much to unpack here.
The fact that Trae Young didn’t flop as a NBA player upset a lot of people. They’re running out of storylines to mislead you. What’s the new NARRATIVE going to be now?

Similar to past greats. He’s not here to make friends or fist bump you in traffic. Get this 30 & 15 nightly and accept the wrath. He’s a lone Wolf. I respect it.

As soon as a black father starts showing his love and support here comes the unwarranted criticism. We’re so programmed to not see greatness and support in black men we criticize them as soon as they do. Tee is every fathers dream. Watching his son play ball. Make it make sense.
Giannis has reached the Lebron level of MVP status. He is so good that his dominance has gotten boring. That’s how great of a player he has become now. The media wants a new story to cover. He WILL NOT win MVP this season.

Regurgitated sports content is at all time high. Lebron this Lebron that, start one bench one cut one, start a franchise with what player, who has the higher ceiling this guy or that guy? Throw it all away and go study the game for real.

Let the pros that have experienced success speak the game and people gotta just sit back an be educated.

Kyrie Irving is the most fluid basketball player of his origin “Hybrid Guard” to ever play the game. Kyrie is that smooth luxurious vehicle that glides on the surface while the engine makes little to zero noise. A true hybrid guard.

Tallying up a bunch of assists or making your teammates better are two entirely different things. A lot of people don’t know the difference. There’s different type of assist. Assists A: Players that pass to create chemistry. Assist B: Players that pass cause they’re being doubled
Dillon Brooks is smarter than what y’all giving him credit for. He’s baiting Lebron to play selfish so the Lakers can lose. Y’all gotta stop listening to them dudes on TV that have no clue.

The MJ Wizards Karen with a solid 35pt performance. This Karen has maybe lost a step or two but her ability to engage and score is still top notch.
If I’m in the Houston Rockets front office I would hire Chauncey Billups as coach. Next I would rearrange the roster to a more traditional team. Allow Harden to play off the ball more. Big Shot is the engine, he’s a motivator, a mastermind. Chauncey is the guy.

Being intelligent about the game isn’t respected on major platforms. People gravitate to the gossip of sports instead of the purity of it. It’s sad to what media has become.
The number 1 ranked PG (2025) in the country Darius Acuff Jr at NBA top 100 camp.
Watching Darius in pick and roll situation is like watching Pat Mahomes play 7 on 7 without a pass rush. His rhythm and awareness is on another level. Darius is this generation’s Stephon Marbury.
The Golden State Warriors just bought themselves 4 more years to try an win one more championship by adding Wiggins to an already equipped roster. I believe the Warriors will win 1/4 at worse case scenario. This is an excellent strategy by the Warriors front office.
