The NBA offseason is underway, and you know what that means: it’s time to overreact! But can overreactions also be right? I think so, and I give you my top overreactions to kick off the offseason!
First, superteams: how good are they? The Phoenix Suns just created the latest ones, so what a great time to go through the history of the NBA superteam and figure out whether or not they’re ACTUALLY super. Let’s look at the success of the Heatles, the “Welcome back, LeBron!” Cavaliers, the KD Golden State Warriors, and more to figure out if it’s worth going all in on 3 superstars!
And how do you get superstars? More importantly, what’s the worst way to find one? That’s right, time to talk tanking! Is losing to get a higher draft pick actually a good way to find your franchise player? Or should you not trust the process? Let’s evaluate the success of some top-5 picks of the past 30 years and see if all the losing is really worth it!
Speaking of tanking, the San Antonio Spurs successfully tanked and got their next future superstar in Victor Wenbenyama! Or did they? Is Vic REALLY destined for greatness? Or will the things that make him so unique also be his downfall?
Karl-Anthony Towns is a game-changing big man himself, according to him and only him. Why is that false and do you really want your big man playing on the perimeter? Or were the boomers right and they need to get down in the post?
More importantly, is the 3-pointer truly the weapon everyone claims it is? Particularly when it’s playoff time? Let’s look at the NBA champions since Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and the Golden State Warriors revolutionized the game and see if 3 really is worth more than 2!
