    There is always outliers to late picks developing into a MVP or all star caliber, Butler kicked everybody butt to the tune of one Finals trip and Jokic has a couple MVPs without a Finals trip to show for it

    How do the Rockets fan base have a beggar mentality when they are in new chartered territory for a year and some change? The Harden trade just happened recently

    People love to overreact these days

    i get basketball much better than most people who watch 2 games a day every day...its like they are fooled by the insignificant in the famous tony sopranos uncle words .....cant see forest from the trees kinda phenomenon...
    its not a coincidence so many discoveries been done by outsiders of the field...not being blinded by the dogma and tunnel vision of the experts
    TAKE THAT FOR DATA

    you know what a true outlier would be? to win by tanking...NOW THATS AN OUTLIER...

    last 5 years MVPs is not the top pick is outlier?
    dont think so...more like a rule...

    if we count last ten years(this eleventh year award goes to jokic) top pick wins mvp only ONCE...

    top 3 pick WON MVP only 3 times in last ten years...

    lolol

    ALSO there is a confirmation bias in the top picks being allstars mvp and champions that is done by backward rationalization......

    you see false belief in top picks naturally produced more top picks to prosper because they were given more chance and new chances, playing time time and again and again and again...
    while lesser picks were discarded as soon as showing first signs of being busts....

    drafting order has nothing to do with who is more talented and who has better genes...especially in todays flat world where every kid has resources and basketball is just a few clicks away from them...

    40 years ago it was perhaps a different world where only america was a the talent pool... today the entire world is the talent pool and pick no 50 is as talented as pick no 5...its just a matter of players getting the chance to prove themselves , trust and playing time from organization...

    thats why yanis and jokic emerged...because they were allowed and entrusted with the role...and thats why sengun will emerge if allowed PT and ALPHA role...hes already proved, even while being held back, hes better than any pick in his class

    Now go thru the entire 70+ year history of top 5 picks and add the total number of MVP/Titles(and runner up/2nd) compared to those top tier supreme second round picks who have led their team as the alpha

    70+ years trumps 10/11 years

    now how is that for some so called data?

    Giannis / Jokic are just two players in over 70 + years of NBA history of data

    And dna/gene matters because its usually passed down and in those at a young age, now how naturally talented and focus(work ethic) plays a big role but ability is passed down ancestrally from the (fore)parents who were damn good to elite in a sport or two, not saying all, but for most part it is that way

    And the world was set up for the others globally to catch up with ancient old World America

    Its why they had to falsely teach that a foreigner came over and discovered a new world in 1492, to make the foreigner feel and look advanced in this modern dulocracy society

    That’s lovely, you are learning new things day by day. What a prospect although you will never be a good defender due to your physical limitations, not a legit 7 footer.

    At least be a lob threat for me.

    When has Jimmy Butler won anything?

    And Butler is the outlier and the makes the point that you need multiple players like a Butler or even better to win a chip.

    The random twitter posters continue to say stupid **** and it seems they are veering into Lin Fan territory and think everything hinges on if Sengun is the star.
