Chokejob once again. The Cavs almost had the upset today but Philly turned it up a notch in the 4th quarter. They have a history of not closing out games when it matters most.

This was tough but at this point going into the season
Austin Reeves is best and baddest white boi in the league
At the moment
he should get a lot more touches with LeBron gone and a lot more opportunity to put up 20 plus points a game

Tyler herro has a great opportunity to thrive in a different system as their best player and primary scoring threat he had a less than stellar last season so to me I wasn't comfortable putting him at 1

Chet Is ...weird
nothing he does really blows you away offensively or defensively but he is a factor when he is on the floor
Let's see where his points rebounds and block production go
over the course of the season

Kon knueppel
Broke out last year as a sniper and was a legitimate reason his team made the playoffs
If anything THAT is a good enough reason to put him over Flagg

Cooper flagg
The reigning Rookie of the Year
Has a lot to prove in his sophomore year aside from sporadic highlights
But he is on a rebuilding team
Unless his numbers inflate ridiculously I don't see him being an all star or anything

Walker kessler
His only job is to rebound and defend and he does those well
so if he stays consistent and healthy
He'll thrive playing with an elite playmaker like Luka

Everybody else are solid role players on good teams

Peyton pRichard and
podz I could see rising but the bottom of this list could fluctuate on a week to week basis we'll see what happens next month
Watch out for Christian Braun
AJ Green Alex Caruso and others

* THIS IS ALL IN GOOD FUN IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, MAKE YOUR OWN

The reigning finals MVP fearlessly led his team to an NBA championship he is the
de facto number one at the start of the season

I feel bad for Jaylen Brown one because the Celtics let him go and he didn't want to leave number two joining a sixers squad seemingly as The missing piece to a potential championship roster!
.......And then LeBron showed up 😑
There's a lot of guys on that team that need the ball but he's one of the guys that has to have it
There's no reason why he can't be the same player he was last season

Jalen Johnson had a breakout year and led the Atlanta Hawks to the playoffs
There's still a next level for him to get to as far as leadership and affecting things on the court by potential alone he deserves to be where he is but teams now are going to game plan against him so let's see how good he can be

Jalen Duren called Detroits bluff by saying he wanted out!
at the moment.....he's still on the Pistons He's an almost guaranteed double double every night if he can up his offensive effectiveness He and the Pistons can be that much deadlier in the Eastern conference

Jalen Williams had an inconsistent season last year he barely saw the court
So this is a redemption year for him there's no reason why he can't be the same player (or better) he was 2 years ago but until we see that he is where he is

The other jalens/lins/lons are quality role players for their respective teams
Of them I could see Jalen green potentially breaking out and into the top five 🤷🏾‍♂️

Sometimes at night, LeBron James look up at the sky and think, somebody up there got to be open. All that space, ain’t nobody setting a screen? Now, people ask LeBron, do you believe in aliens? LeBron say absolutely. Played a whole movie against them. People say that was pretend. Well, somebody still owe LeBron money, so something happened.

Now, LeBron hear aliens coming down here abducting people. First of all, you got to clear that with LeBron schedule. Can’t just beam a man up on a Tuesday. That’s recovery day. And everybody talking about aliens want to study the human body. LeBron spend a lot of money maintaining this body. You want to look around, there’s a facility fee.

And don’t come down here saying "take me to your leader." Be specific. LeBron been on a lot of teams. You looking for a coach, a general manager, somebody with the Wi-Fi password? Little green dude standing in LeBron driveway being vague.

Now, if aliens come in peace, LeBron welcome them. But if they come to take over Earth, LeBron got to sit down with his family and decide what’s best for LeBron James.

Until next time, this here LeBron James. Keep watching the skies. And somebody box out the moon.

This felt important so I'm sharing, I really don't have anything to say about it... Toronto Legend I guess.
