Perhaps he has been reading this forum?
Stop letting nerds tell you how to play basketball....

Dude, NOBODY makes that shot with consistency ! I watched, in person, about 40ft in front of me, Curry drain a 3pt shot with AD leaping by his face & was fouled w/ no call.
I WANT the Bucks to win it all. I just don't see it happening unless the Blazers get past the Warriors.
I would LOVE to be proven wrong though. Absolutely.

Who bets buttons ? What tha?!
That's the point. ''I would not even bet something completely worthless''.
Basketball.
Obviously if you would put your trust in Curry to hit it, then good for you. I wouldn't.
Now, Pepsi, I can see!
Currently deliberating on whether Lillard's shot or Kawhi's was the better series ending buzzer beater from these playoffs.
I'm leaning Kawhi, because it was more heavily contested and it has that emotional weight for Toronto fans, as well as Kawhi's reaction to the shot and the fact that it teetered on the edge. The drama.
But obviously Lillard's was a longer shot, and there's something to be said for that cold conviction of just knowing you're going to drill it, and then doing so.
Edit: it's definitely Kawhi.That’s the first game-winning buzzer-beater in a Game 7 in NBA history.

It’s the 2nd one in a winner-take-all game alongside Jordan’s “The Shot”
I wouldn't put my trust in ANYBODY to make that shot. That wasn't the criteria.
Your blanket was- I can't think of anybody else that can make that shot.
Goal post are moving.
Completely agree.
Randle makes that shot easily
Myth, do you NOT remember the Curry shot against the Pels? That was even more impressive.
1) It was LONGER
2) AD was flying across his face
3) He was fouled & it wasn't called & MOST importantly
4) It was to TIE the game. So, they LOSE if he doesnt make it. Toronto doesn't lose if Kawhi shot is missed. It's OT.
Fair enough, my bad. I should have phrased it better.
What I meant was: if that game is on the line and I get to pick the player, there are only maybe two or three other names in the league that I would be willing to trust to hit that shot, in those circumstances, more often than not. Obviously they could still miss, but I'd be willing to put my faith in them. I wouldn't put my faith in, say, Giannis, as much as I love him as a player, because he doesn't have the playoff experience and he isn't a very good shooter in general. I would put my faith in Lillard, Kawhi, and Durant to hit it, and if they missed I'd live with it knowing they were the best guys for the job.

Randle makes that shot from 60 feet, four defenders hanging off him, with the ref personally insulting his fashion sense.

No way from 60 ft.
You're right, 70 feet.
I will say that I'll bet you a button that Randle hits a 70 footer before Simmons hits a 3 pointer.
Well, on this forum- you're gonna be wrong . Now the PROOF aspect of that will probably be a bit shaky.
Would not be surprised whatsoever. Simmons just flat out can't shoot at all.
Odds of either or more - Brett Brown, Simmons , Embiid not in Philly next year?
I don't know exactly, but pretty high. I'd say there's a 70% or so chance that at least one of them moves. I don't see how they can continue on this path. They tried to fast track the process and it just doesn't look great.
I have blocked out all Pels vs GSW playoff memories from my mind. I like to think as if the Portland series is our only playoff entry.
