And their inability to distinguish wokescolding from genuine activism is another one contributing to our continued downfall

Joe Johnson GOES IN on Bam Adebayo:
“I’m looking at body language and your confidence when you’re out there on the court. Bam has to assert himself! We can’t blame Giannis for this! He took 10 shots… I’ll tell you what I take from it. He got gun shy after he missed a few! He went 3/10, he should’ve went 3/20! He can’t leave Giannis out there. He needs another guy who’s going to be aggressive and put pressure on the defense. He has all the tools bro! He scored 83. He has to get something respectable and develop some type of consistency for this Heat team to be competitive”
Shannon Sharpe says Bam Adebayo is NOT a franchise player:
“Set the 83 points aside, you taking Bam and saying ‘I’m gonna build my franchise around Bam?’ Y’all talking about him like he’s a Franchise builder. He’s not Joe! He’s a great complimentary player. Ain’t nobody taking no Bam to build a franchise around!”

The Heat are 0-4, but the margins tell a different story: 25, then 17, then 5, then 4.
That isn't a team falling apart. It's a team getting closer while still finding ways to lose late.
Spoelstra has earned the benefit of the doubt on rotations. What he hasn't found yet is five guys he trusts in the last four minutes.

The most underrated performance in NBA Finals history belongs to a 20-year-old rookie playing out of position.
Game 6, 1980, in Philadelphia. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the league MVP, had sprained his ankle in Game 5 and stayed back in Los Angeles. The Lakers led the series 3-2, and most people assumed it was headed back to the Forum.
Magic Johnson jumped center. Then he played everywhere. He finished with 42 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists, made 14 of 23 shots and all 14 of his free throws, and the Lakers won 123-107 to close out the title on the road. He was named Finals MVP as a rookie.
What strikes me now is how little that night resembles his legend. We remember Magic as the passer, the no-look conductor of Showtime. In the biggest game of his first season, he won by supplying whatever the team lacked, which that night meant scoring and rebounding like a big man.
That is the best definition of a superstar I know. Not the player with the prettiest signature skill, but the one who can become the missing piece on demand.

Is there a Finals game by a younger player that tops this one?

That’s what’s so concerning. I’ve seen growing pains. I’ve seen young teams. They still manage to win games here and there. This is something else. This feels …. Broken

If you want the single season that best explains Michael Jordan, skip the title years and go to 1987-88.
He averaged 35.0 points on 53.5 percent shooting. He also averaged 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks a game, finishing with 259 steals and 131 blocks. That year he won both MVP and Defensive Player of the Year.
Only two other players have ever won both awards in the same season: Hakeem Olajuwon in 1993-94 and Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2019-20. Both were big men whose defense lived at the rim. Jordan did it as a guard, chasing the other team's best perimeter player while carrying the heaviest scoring load in the league.
That season destroys two lazy arguments at once. One is that Jordan was a scorer first and a defender when it suited him. The other is that his greatness was built on the supporting cast of the title years. In 1988 there was no dynasty yet, only a 24-year-old doing everything at both ends.
The rings came later. The proof that he was the most complete player of his generation was already there.

Name a season by any guard that tops this one on both ends of the floor.

There is no one more qualified than Dwyane and/or UD to speak on this, and they both have already. And I've heard similar things behind the scenes. Just addressed it on Off the Floor Host Updates.

Dwyane Wade’s advice to Bam Adebayo and Giannis in order to win, is having a real conversation about who’s team it is and their roles:
“Bam is a player who established himself as a franchise player, an All Star, 83 points last year. Now you’re getting a top 20 established player in the league coming to your team. — What I look at is really defining who’s team it is and role of that. You want Giannis coming down right away and feeling comfortable and confident that he can be Giannis 100%.
I want to see Giannis come down and say ‘hey bam, I got this. This is my show, imma make sure we all eat tho.’ I think this is the year Bam turns his attention to being an overall player in our league more so ‘we need Bam to score 83.’ Are they going to look at each other and say ‘hey, it’s my team, respectfully, but I’ll make sure everybody else gets involved’
Coach Spo can have all the experience he wants, if Giannis and Bam don’t have this conversation, Bron and I had the conversation. It took us a year to have it. You’re the guy. Doesn’t take anything away from me, I’m still that dude. For us to get to the level we’re trying to get to and win, it’s a sacrifice that has to happen somewhere. Unfortunately it’s gotta happen at the top.”

Heat becomes NBA's 1st 0-4 team. Simply cannot win with this little production from Bam, Wiggins, Klay, Hardaway.... 0-3 Bucks trying to avoid matching Heat. They've surged ahead of Pacers behind big nights from Herro and Ware.
Bro, some of this is on Spo too. I love him, but he has this fascination with overplaying guys who are sucking instead of sitting their ass down. The way he was chewing out Ware perpetually, he needs to do the same to the guys refusing to play.
