If Victor Wembanyama is only as good as Hakeem Olajuwon or Anthony Davis, he has not met expectations

Brard Brew crew shout out, said he has expectations for We Bin Yama to be one of the best players ever. If Webe Yama is [Hakeem Olajuwon] or Anthony Davis, he has not met expectations. He has to have a career like Kareem, Jordan, LeBron, Shaq, or Duncan.

This is a subjective standard for success, but framing Hakeem Olajuwon as a floor for expectations is an extremely bold take.

Jamal Murray has officially arrived as a clutch postseason player

I was gonna say Jamal Murray has arrived officially as like a clutch postseason player. That fourth quarter was awesome. Go nuggets.

Murray's performance in the 2023 playoffs, leading to a title, widely cemented this reputation.

LeBron James looked old for the first time in these playoffs

The story is LeBron James looking old for the first time cause whether it was the miss dunk, whether it was the flops... he just for the first time this these playoffs, he looked a little off.

While LeBron was injured (foot), the Lakers were swept by Denver in this series.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.
