    I think SAS gets Will Cain on this show regularly just to make him and Max look smart. No one in sports entertainment except for maybe Colin cowherd is as dumb as will cain

    Lebron, KD, Steph, Giannis = beneficiaries of luxury of talent or lack thereof per conference
    Harden = nothing is given, yet has the highest expectations

    ... this over a 5 year span.

    It's an unfair world we live in but that's what it means to overcome adversity and dictate what gets written about you in the history books. Let's gooooo!

    If there is a Rockets segment with either Will Cain, Ramona Shelburne, Colin Cowherd, Scottie Pippen or Brian Windhorst, we can all safely assume how it’s going to go.

    Right now? Harden
    3 years from now? Giannis
    Never ever without the use of a million illegal screens? Curry.

    These dumb ducks make zero sense. “Harden needs to prove himself In the playoffs to take it from giannis/LeBron”

    Wow.

    Harden will be the best offensive player, i think he already actually is. Overall, as much as I dont like him.. KD will be the best player in the NBA. The guy can literally do it all on both offense and defense. Every other play in consideration other than KD has a kryptonite.

    Harden has been to 2 Western Conference Finals already against the Warriors -- the most stacked team of the modern NBA era.

    I don't know what more is there to "prove" in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Giannis has yet to make it past the First Round. :rolleyes:

    KD is a stunningly good player. I do remember feeling a little bad for him when the Thunder lost to the Heat in the Finals; those days of on-court crying and mama's consolation are long gone. KD has gone nearly full doucher. But his talent can't be denied.

    Normally one of them has to take Will Cain's position in order to make the show dynamics work. Worst part is.. I think Will Cain believes what he's saying.

    Even if he wins the east- so what? LeBron won the East over and over but couldn’t even sneak into the playoffs in the West.

    I don't get it... Harden has to show it in the playoffs... what the hell has Giannis been doing in the playoffs???

    EDIT: I guess other people got the same concern... I didn't look above my comment..

    It’s funny with Giannis because everyone acts like he’s this crazy phenom that can’t be replicated when a better version of him already exists.

    Credit the Bucks and Bud for building a great team and synergy. Giannis is great but he’s not even the best version of that archetype. Not yet anyway.
