MODERATORS
It was foretold in the prophecy.
Lmao no fucking chance but I respect the fanboy in you.
As a Knicks fan I remember years of people claiming Frank Ntilikina was going to be a future All Star just as soon as he got his shot right.
Career 36.9 FG% 😭
And that's a final number because he's out of the league at 25 years old.
We picked him at 8th overall in 2017. Donovan Mitchell went 13th in that draft. FUCK
Frank Ntilikina is not even close to the tier that Cades on. This dude just single handedly torched Brunson, KAT, and Hart, dropping a cool 36 points on the 13th!
Or course, which is why I didn't even dare suggest he was a GOAT candidate. Just pointing out homerism when I see it
Am I a homer for Detroit? Absolutely.
Is Cade Cunningham basketball Jesus and the most ethical hooper in the league right now? Absolutely.
The most ethical hooper in the league? Bro I'm dead 😂
Doing more with way less, no calls, just straight cold blooded hoops. 👹
I am curious about why you say that, since people arguing such things tend to bring up some super fun arguments. For example the case for Rodman being the GOAT.
Honestly? Just a big Detroit fan and was looking to test to see if I could post here and wanted to see if people would even respond haha
I also just really love Cade Cunningham. He is a dawg, 6'8 combo guard, elite shooter, elite in the post, great passer and only getting better every year, despite a system that was actively crumbling around him. I think he was a truly special #1 pick that can do it all and be a leader on and off the floor. If LeBron was the blue print, Cade is the masterpiece.
I think he'll be top 20 but it will be pretty hard to get past the unique talents on the list like Olajuwon, Magic, Jokic, MJ, and even Wemby.
He would have to be "Jokic as a guard" essentially to become the GOAT.
He is "Jokic as a guard", no I will not elaborate any further.
