Nobody Is Noticing THIS About The NBA Season Return (Ft. Old LeBron, Giannis, Harden & A Bubble)
The NBA season is returning, restarting, but for LeBron James, Giannis, Harden, Westbrook, Kawhi, is this an asterisk championship? This is what nobody is noticing. #NBA #LeBron #Harden Twitch- https://www.twitch.tv/mjallday2k Discord- https://discord.gg/RSUxXmU NEW CHANNEL RUN IT UP: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE7ee_OL9dKLRJaRt6xiluw Twitch- https://www.twitch.tv/mjallday2k Tik Tok- https://vm.tiktok.com/wfx5vW/ Second Channel- @MJPLAYSALLDAY The OUTRO song is OUT!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SUYj3SUdUw Instagram- @MJ2K_ALLDAY Twitter- @mj2kallday The NBA is officially coming back. Just this past week, they released a schedule for all the 22 teams playing in the Orlando bubble, the NBA wants the Pelicans to make the playoffs too It’s being called the asterisk championship, something that ESPN and Jay Williams have vehemently denied, saying that this is the toughest championship to ever win, that if LeBron is able to do this, this puts him on another level. This isn’t all about LeBron, aite. So this is how the new format is supposed to go. 22 teams, 13 Western Conference teams, 9 Eastern conference teams, will return to play 8 regular season games to determine the playoff seeding.These are the teams that got the invite and you can see teams that weren’t in the top 8. Because no team will be able to complete their 82 game season, if the 8th seed in the conference is 4 or less games ahead, there will also be a play-in tournament between the 8th and 9th seed for that last spot in the playoffs. These teams are out of the playoff picture right now, but they have an opportunity. Zion looks ready man, but let the man play before expecting him to dominate like Jordan. Now with the format outta the way, what really is concerning is this. This is a list of players that have officially said that they aren’t playing in the season reboot. No this list does not include players who have COVID and will continue to play like Nikola Jokic. There’s actually quite a few players in that category. These are just players who have stated for whatever reason whether it’s their own safety, their family’s safety, the BLM movements, etc. The Nets are literally missing half of their roster due to players sitting out and injuries. The Lakers have signed 3 new players, Markief Morris, Dion Waiters, and JR Smith. Imagine having JR Smith and Dion Waiters on the same team. The simulation really on something right now. Other teams like the Bucks have lost absolutely no one at the moment, and the Clippers hadn’t lost anyone until this report. And the losses of these players is already enough to change the chemistry and complexion of playoff teams. There’s the added risk of players catching COVID which would be horrible in itself and eliminate those players from teams. I like to think of them as season ending injuries. Imagine how injuries in the playoff could derail a championship run. We saw the Warriors last year have to change up their whole style. Just think about if a superstar like AD or Harden get it. Just like that, their whole championship hopes are over. Which leads to me to the point on the whole asterisk championship. It’s the notion that this championship regardless of who wins it has an asterisk next to it due to the extraordinary circumstances. Giannis said that it’s the player’s job. Doc Rivers said that “the team that wins this deserves a gold star, not an asterisk.” I agree, this championship has no asterisks if none of the players get COVID. But if any star or role player get it, it changes the entire dynamic. Like if LeBron got it, then whoever wins has a huge asterisk because a literal pandemic took out their competition. Same if a player like Giannis, Kawhi or even key pieces like Kris Middleton, Louis Williams get it and the Lakers end up winning. This doesn’t even take into context how the players are going to be after a 4 month break.Like I said in my NBA suspension video, certain players benefit, certain players lose out. James Harden gets to finally go into a playoffs rested and not burn out. He’s also a lot skinnier which can hurt and help his game, but hey he’s skinnier. A guy like LeBron times his workouts and conditioning to be in peak shape during May and June. It’s not sustainable to be in the best shape all year around, but with this break, plans have to shift. Look LeBron looks like he’s having fun, but this concept applies to every player. They have to adapt to unprecedented circumstances. I might go into detail about teams and players because each team could literally have their own separate video. Let me know if you want a video on how this impacts the Lakers, the Rockets, Bucks, etc. But the matter of the fact is that it’s gonna be a race on which team can get in form first rather than which team may necessarily be better.

We Just Witnessed The End Of Curry And The Warriors As We Know It
Steph Curry has reached his breaking point. It’s 2019 NBA Finals. The Warriors just lost Kevin Durant for a second time due to an achilles tear. Klay Thompson already missed game 3, leaving Curry facing a box and one. And in Game 6, when Klay Thompson goes for dunk and lands on the floor in pain, the camera pans to Curry who is sitting on the floor in disbelief And now in 2024, we saw Curry have a similar reaction, with tears on his face, not because of Draymond getting ejected 4 minutes into the game, but because of what it means. This season for the Warriors has been a disaster. And it’s finally breaking Steph Curry, but why now? Why is Curry just done with the Warriors? The Warriors made the best of the situation getting D’Angelo Russell who they would later flip for Andrew Wiggins, but man 2019-2021 were rough. 2019 because Curry and Klay were both hurt, and they went 15 and 50 but in 2020, Curry went through it for several reasons. Now if you think Stephen Curry doesn’t care, think again. He cares about what people start saying, remember Kendrick Perkins, he cares about his legacy, something we’re about to get to in 2022 but Curry who was already an NBA champion was getting disrespected and he answered by leading the league in scoring. Yes, Steph Curry without another all star carried the Warriors to an 8th seed. The hope was that once Klay Thompson would come back, maybe the Warriors could be good again. But management didn’t. They just didn’t believe that the team could get it done and wanted the team to focus on younger players. In fact the Warriors going into the 2021-22 season were 9th in power rankings by bleacher report, 13th in LA times. But Klay would come back and while he wasn’t the same old Klay, he had his moments and was good enough that Curry’s faith was rewarded. Wiggins revamped himself, players finally understood how to play with Curry, how to spot him wide open. And perhaps the most important, Steph Curry finally won his finals MVP. You can see how much it meant to him, crying on the court. And afterwards, he was talking the talk, especially to all the doubters. Well duh, when you go from kicking your opponents to punching your own teammates, that tends to happen. So another year lost in the championship window. Where most players would have lost out on hope before the first championship, and even after last season, Curry had a lot of faith in himself and his closest teammates could get it done but that doesn’t seem likely because of piece #2 the Warriors are potentially calling it quits after this season and that’s coming from the Warriors owner. It’s no secret that Klay and Draymond Green’s contracts are ending soon. Klay is up this year, Draymond next. But the Warriors paid over $150 million in taxes last year to keep this exact roster in taxt. That’s right, the new luxury tax rules made the Warriors a luxury tax repeater making them pay higher rates for going over the salary cap since they re signed their core to massive contracts. And Joe Lacob, the owner, is sick of it. He’s stated that he wants to completely be out of the luxury tax. And that’s the thing. It’s not injuries that is holding this team back right now. It’s the players and management themselves. And yes while Curry proved all the haters wrong winning a finals MVP, he has a chance to do something special, something that would cement his legacy, and that’s Piece #3, a 5th championship can put Steph Curry as the best point guard of all time. At the current moment, there is the conversation of who’s the best point guard of all time: Magic or Steph. Even Steph was asked about it he said, Now the main argument holding Steph back is that Magic has one more championship. But if that was equalized, would that mean Steph would be the best point guard? Steph, like Jordan, takes a lot of things personally. And take the words of his teammates, And apparently Jordan said that Magic is the best point guard of all time. This 5th championship puts Curry firmly in the top 10 of all time, because he’s already done the rest. He has one of the biggest impacts on the game, he’s a multiple time MVP winner, and broke countless records. The reason why we are entertaining this debate is because Steph has the full resume, he has that aura.
