After all, for these things we are here too. Or not?
When they ask us why we prefer the NBA to FIBA basketball, one of the reasons given is because there, where the Mississippi runs, it sinks in a different way. In the NBA, slam dunks are simply on another level. And like this year Slam Dunk Contest It has been what it has been (good scum), we deserve an appreciation post.
In addition, a terrible flaw in this world is that we are much more attracted to talking about what will be than what was. Of the signings that come and not of the Finals that are disputed. But the 2021-22 season has left us with many good things that we can still savor.
Mates, like every year, there are hundreds of them, and some are very, very good, so talking about the top-3 is no frills.
Here, the best three according to the NBAfrom ‘worst to best’.
Jaylen Brown sobre Maxi Kleber
Ja Morant on top of Malik Beasley
Andrew Wiggins, ‘póster’ a Doncic
Your top-3?
This is the top-3 of the NBA… does it coincide with yours? We read you below, in the comments.
Whoever writes to you, Wiggins’s man doesn’t even fit among the top three (VAR to Doncic, by the way; great player, best actor), having the Warriors’ own forward another pair even more outstanding within the top-100 (link here ).
Yes, any of the other two, the ones from ‘Ja y Len’ (excuse the joke), are worth it, as the best mate of the 2021-22 campaign, and staying personally with Jaylen Brown’s if I have to choose just one, because of the previous dribbling and because of the jumping power that he accumulates in such a small space and with hardly any run. The Celtics forward has swollen this year to jams and has a handful in the top 100.
In any case, this top-100 has left us with a barbaric serial and several curious readings:
- Al Horford is ten years younger.
- Tatum has that ‘Westbrook’ style, capable of accelerating his arm in the air at low altitude to print speed and power that, in addition to being visually impressive, helps him dodge interposed blocks in timing.
- Kuminga and Jalen Green are tremendous signings for this section.
- Lebron is still LeBron and Klay is Klay again.
- Watching Kyle Anderson dunk is as fun as it is off-putting.
- The plasticity of Terrence Ross does not age.
- Mitchells Land (Donovan and Davion).
- Ricky is going to retire from the NBA without bringing it down even once.
- Back dunks are underrated.
- The more you see Westbrook drive to the basket, the less you understand his obsession with the midrange.
- Are Ja Morant’s dunks better than the best Derrick Rose? Serious question.
Other candidates who could perfectly have been fighting for the podium but who have even been left out of the top-10, could be (always in the eyes of the writer):
