This list is counterfieted by the fact that De’Aaron Fox isn’t on it.

Domas and Swipa have been equally important.

W/O Domas, the KINGS don’t stick around in as many games,
W/O Fox, the KINGS don’t finish near as many games

Domas averaging 19.2, 12.4, and 7.3 is INCREDIBLE.
Fox averaging 25.2, 4.2, and 6.2 is also INCREDIBLE.

One player leads the league in rebounding and has produced 13 triple doubles this season.
The other player is the leading scorer on the highest scoring team in the league and leads the NBA in clutch points.

Both players have led this KINGS team to be the most efficient offense in NBA history.

Not including Fox on that list is an insult. And just flat wrong.

The NBA version of Arvydas isn’t better than Domas, at least not this season’s version.

As for pre-NBA and pre-injury Arvydas — unfortunately we’ll never know. But odds are not only was he better, more skilled, and more dominant than his son, but also better, more skilled and more dominant than the likes of Shaq, Olajuwon, Walton, Ewing, Robinson, and maybe even Kareem.

The only big man excluded might be the GOAT of all big men— Wilt Chamberlain.

Prime Wilt vs prime Arvydas would have been a sight to see. IMO prime Arvydas destroys Shaq. Bigger and more skilled all around.

I have always questioned what Sabas would have been like if he realized he was the best player on that team even at that stage instead of trying to fit in. I think if you inserted that version of Sabas right now into this NBA and said, "You're a PG", he'd be close to Jokic as far as per minute productivity. He'd also be a force at the rim on defense unlike Domas and Jokic. Not sure he'd be as efficient as Domas though.

Damn, I'm glad we learned how to shoot in the last 25 years. Some of those jumpers in that clip are B.R.O.K.E. No wonder the final score was in the 80's all the time.

Look at the post play and contact with todays lens. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. I really do miss physical defense. Ah well.

It's good and bad, I guess. Players nowadays are so much more skilled. Most big men back in the 80s and 90s can barely dribble the ball more than a few feet without losing it or getting it stolen.

That’s what many either don’t know or don’t consider. The physical toll over the course of a game. And then a season having to have to endure it over 82 (which largely most players played).

I said this years ago when Steph Curry and Klay Thompson were first starting to do their thing. Part of the reason we didn’t see players hitting deep jumpers throughout the entirety of a game and especially in the late stages was because of the physical toll. Players legs were fatigued and jumpers started to fall short.

Think about it. Hand-checking was legal. So if a player like Steph, who isn’t physically gifted or stout to begin with, had to deal with bigger players hand-checking and putting their weight and body on him for 38 minutes — it wears them down. Suddenly those picture perfect jumpers lack just a little oomph.

That’s among the reasons why NBA players didn’t shoot 3’s so much. Tired legs. Worn down bodies.

While the NBA still has a level of physicality to it, it’s not near the same as it once was. No hand-checking all game long. No hard fouls. Pretty much all they get away with nowadays is some grabbing, pulling, pushing and tugging. That doesn’t exact the same toll over the course of a game, let alone a long 82 game season. Even with better nutrition and being in better physical shape, these guys would be much more worn down playing against more physical, hand-checking defenses.

Does the media get to vote on who the rebound champ is like they do with the clutch award which has a clear statistical winner?

Uhhh, well, we've decided to make Jokic the rebound champion so that we can give the MVP to Embiid because Jokic has already won two. Better luck next year Domas.

:D
sorry this was inspired by NBATV tweeting about the clutch award and I'm salty AF there's even a "debate"

That second one is egregious and I screamed at the TV. Whatever happened to the officials immediately huddling and reviewing face shots? Seemed for a few years it was reviewed and pretty much an auto-tech, if not more.

I was watching at a bar with a friend, so the TV was both smaller and further away than I am used to in my living room - couldn't see the details of those plays live. That face shot looked intentional.

Unbelievable. No wonder Sabonis was holding his face at one point during the game. It could have been either one of these plays. I was wondering how the officials missed it.

As a fan, I want to see someone like Holmes get in there and level Draymond Green or Jordan Poole. If he is ejected and suspended, so what? Fortunately, professionals like Coach Brown preach to play on, not get distracted, and not get down in the mud. The only thing that matters in the end is the final score. Focus!

Look for a big rebound by an angry Kings team on Sunday (pun intended).

Doc Rivers crapting on Sabonis now? In what fricking world is Sabonis the instigator?

"I'm going to say this, and I probably shouldn't: I didn't think Draymond [Green] should have been suspended," Rivers said Friday, referring to the Golden State Warriors star's suspension for stomping on the Sacramento Kings' Domantas Sabonis. "And I think the league is setting up a very dangerous precedent right now, and this is not me campaigning, and I'm dead serious.

"... If we're going to start punishing the retaliators, and not the instigators, then we've got a problem in this league."

Doc, you have your stars hitting people in the groin and kicking people. Maybe cleanup your house first before talking crap?
