But there is another. Jayson Tatum just became the youngest ever to hit 1,000 three pointers, at a bit under 25yo. This is his sixth year in the league. So, depending on where Steph will leave that record when he retires, and if Tatum has longevity, that record may not be set in stone.

I have to hate him because he is a Celtic, but he plays a wonderful game :) Gotta admit that.
FWIW, I love Jayson and Jaylen. I HATE the Celtics. The Boston of it all plus a Lakers fan growing up.

I love Dak Prescott. I hate the Cowboys. And I loathe the Cowboys fans.

I root for them as players to have success, not for their teams. Jordan was putting up 60 points and losing and many others have followed suit. Good individual performances regularly happen in losses and that's what I hope for for the players I like on the teams I dislike.

Not love him, but I can go with what you say. And I can live with Jaylen too. ;)
And yes, my dislike of Boston comes from me arriving in the USA just when the Lakers/Celtics were the big rivalry. Since The Spurs were no good at the time (except for Gerwin) I had to root for somebody. My roommate was a Lakers' fan, so I followed that in the finals.

Coaches get too much credit, they get too much blame.
He has been solid for the last years, so one bad stretch should not lead to this.

I'd argue many coaches don't get enough credit. A chosen few get entirely too much credit, some of them inexplicably so, but others, not so much. And that's what leads to some superstars thinking they don't really need a coach or anyone can be slotted in as the coach as long as they are the players.

Quin was named the coach after days of reports about negotiations before that

If this proves to be true what an idiot. There is another phrase but I'm respecting the board.

The news about him lately have been disturbing. Too early to make judgements, but...

Do so.
But that takes away any chances for Memphis.

Lemme get this straight. He slipped and his ankle was "sore". I'm trying to picture him telling Jordan his ankle was "sore" and he was skipping a game.
