    Well i am not going to challenge your memory. This isn’t about me; I read the board a lot more than I post. I wrote base on my experience reading the board. I am personally happy to see all of the Rockets excel.

    Based on your reading experience, obviously your take is different.

    I saw the board earlier and there were only 4 player x is the franchise guy. And a lot of variety of topics regarding Rocket stuff. That is more refreshing.

    Um, yes it. Name ONE superstar big that has no outside shot whatsoever. It seems you're stuck in 1995-96 maybe as a failed time traveler or something. Please start watching the current NBA then post your foolishness

    Bam Adebayo is considered pretty good....

    I'm sure some would be surprised to see you so down on Victor Wembanyama.....

    Career 33% 3 point shooter Domantas Sabonis is fairly well regarded too....

    Someone will have to break the news to Anthony Davis that he's never been any good.

    Gobert is probably going to have to give back those DPOY awards next time he misses a 3.

    Same for Giannis.

    Why keep up the charade? It's pretty clear why you keep pretending that it's a terrible thing that the best player on the Rockets is a center that shoots like a center. That faux concern isn't going to take the heat off of players who are actually bad.

    Giannis is a wing player

    Bam isn't a superstar & Giannis is a wing with big size. Sengun's compared to Embiid, Jokic & KAT and all of them have 3pt shots

    That would make it worse, not better. Also, he's a PF, not a wing. You said "big" not center.

    Giannis is not a wing unless you're thinking of a different giannis? A wing that can't shoot is even worse than a center who can't shoot, that not giannis is a wing obviously.

    So, in other words, I destroyed your narrative, but you want to cling to it anyway despite the fact you know you are wrong.

    Fair enough.

    Giannis actually has played center 40% of his minutes the last 2 years so he's a pure big. Fun random fact, his 3nd season he played PG 40% and SG 60%, somehow i missed that.

    Yup, guy knows he's wrong so he just lied.

    No one thinks Giannis is a wing.

    Lol up any list of the top bigs in the NBA and you'll see Giannis

    How about Anthony Davis? Less attempts per game on a lower percentage than Sengun. He played 97% of his minutes at center last year and 100% the year before. Or is he not a superstar big either?

    Superstar bigs isnt a hard concept to comprehend. In no world is Bam a superstar center

    Lied? Giannis isnt in the post majority of any game. He doesn't need to be fed like most bigs because he's usually playing downhill dribbling up the court. This is how he gets his points. There is absolutely NOTHING in common with Sengun & Giannis
