One of these pops up every now and then. So I'll share some of mine and yall can in the comments.

The Denver mile high city jerseys are really cool.

And, I don't act like Dillon Brooks is the worst player in the world and never discredited him. I hate Brooks as much as the next guy but people acting like he's a Shanghai Shark only said that because they hate him

Don't know if this is an opinion, but an unpopular what if scenario is what if Kevib McHale never broke his foot. McHale was improving by the year and was on a great trajectory when he broke his foot and kept playing through it

Every era has its ups and downs. None is perfect or shit.

Also the MJ-LeBron debate is annoying and has gotten toxic. Some Bron fans rehash anti Brin arguments for mj. You know "Bron can't win without Kyrie-AD-Wade" vs "MJ can't win without pippen." Its a debate that pretty much always gets annoying. .

Longevity is massively overvalued in NBA discourse.

Its cool that players who played 18-20 years managed to stay healthy and relevant for that long. But to evaluate greatness or compare players careers, it should only be a minor factor, if one at all. Playing for 20 years where you were a great player for 10 years and good or above average for the other 10 shouldn't elevate you over someone who played 10 years and was great for all ten.

Similarly, cumulative stats are also mega over valued in NBA discourse.
