It's very rare we see 18-year-olds in the NBA.

And it's even rarer that 18-year-olds drop 40 in an NBA game.

How rare?
We have only seen it ONCE.
On Monday.
Cooper Flagg just dropped 40 POINTS as an 18-year-old.

LeBron didn't do it.
Kobe didn't do it.
Tracy McGrady didn't do it.
Dwight Howard didn't do it.
But Cooper Flagg did.

Horace Grant believes Scottie Pippen, not MJ, was the real MVP of the 1991 Finals.

“If I had a vote in that first championship for MVP, it would have been Scottie. He brought his whole game, and everyone could see. The way he played Magic (Johnson) and made him turn and turn and turn and made him work like that was the difference, especially after we lost the first game. And he averaged more than 20 points. I think he was our leading scorer when we won.”

Kawhi Leonard arrived in Los Angeles to herald a new dynasty, bringing with him a resume that was unmatched in the league's history books.

When he joined the Clippers, he was statistically the winningest player in NBA history (minimum 300 games played, including playoffs).

But the reality of the Clippers tenure, plagued by injuries, load management, and playoff disappointments has delivered a harsh statistical correction.

In a stunning reversal, Kawhi Leonard is now outside the Top 10 in that very same win percentage category.

The steep decline reflects the unstable foundation of the Clippers era.

Kawhi's legacy is still tied to championships, but this shocking drop in his historic win rate is a painful reminder of what the last few seasons have cost the two-time Finals MVP.

Is this unprecedented statistical fall the most fitting encapsulation of the Clippers' wasted potential?

Who is the greatest scorer in NBA history — really?

Not career totals.
Not nostalgia.
Not rings.

In this episode, we rank the 10 greatest scorers in NBA history using a prime-based, skill-first framework that NBA fans rarely apply correctly.

This list is built on:
• Peak scoring versions only (3–5 year primes)
• Three-level scoring versatility
• Shot-creation difficulty
• Efficiency within variety
• Counters vs elite defenses
• Playoff translation without ring bias
• Scoring gravity and defensive warping
• Portability across eras and systems

We compare:
Wilt Chamberlain
Michael Jordan
LeBron James
Kobe Bryant
Kevin Durant
James Harden
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Stephen Curry
Jerry West
Allen Iverson

This is NOT a career-points list.
This is NOT era worship.
This is about who could get a bucket anywhere, anytime, against anyone.

If every player is dropped into their prime — neutral spacing, neutral rules, playoff-level defense — who do you trust to score when the defense knows it’s coming?

NBA fans argue scoring every day.
Very few define it correctly.

We do.

👇 Drop your Top 5 scorers ever in the comments — and explain it using SKILL, not mythology.

Are we witnessing the greatest team in NBA history in real time?

The Oklahoma City Thunder are not just winning — they are obliterating the league.

After a 138–89 destruction of the Phoenix Suns in the Emirates NBA Cup quarterfinals, the defending champion Thunder improved to 24–1, tying the 2015–16 Golden State Warriors for the best 25-game start in NBA history.

But here’s the part that separates OKC from every other contender:

📊 +17.5 point scoring differential — the largest ever through 25 games
📊 17 double-digit wins (tied for 2nd-most all time at this stage)
📊 First team ever with 17 double-digit wins in back-to-back seasons
📊 Led by 50+ points in a game this season (first team to do so)
📊 More dominant than Jordan’s Bulls, Curry’s Warriors, and Shaq/Kobe Lakers at the same point

For context:
• 1996 Bulls: +12.2 margin
• 2016 Warriors: +11.8 margin
• 2008 Celtics: +13.9 margin
• 2025–26 Thunder: +17.5 margin

That’s not close.

So the real question becomes:
👉 Are the Thunder simply hot…
👉 Or are they rewriting what NBA dominance looks like?

We break down:
• OKC vs 96 Bulls
• OKC vs 73–9 Warriors
• OKC’s historic defense
• Why this may be the best title defense ever
• Whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is leading a modern dynasty
• Why fans are already pushing back on the “GOAT team” conversation

This isn’t hype.
This is history — backed by data.

Charles Barkley takes aim at the league’s growing focus on the three-point game.
"Fans are not just going to go out there and see a bunch of guys jack up threes every night.

Guys don't even shoot layups anymore; they don't shoot in the midrange.
It's like, 'We're going to shoot a bunch of threes,
and if we make 'em, we win; if we miss 'em, we're gonna lose; that's no strategy.
