He is finally on a team where he can be the Alpha instead of helping prop up a weaker alpha that the team was telling him to baby.
KD and Booker needed someone with strong mentality to mentor them and seems like he is turning their careers around.

Don't tell me you fell for it? He literally was clutching Green's arm to keep it in place and to stop him from breaking out of the reverse headlock.
NBA doesn't call obvious offensive fouls. Are you new?
Too smol. Rookie needs to stay out on the perimeter.
And putting the favorite for MVP on second team with the stats he is averaging.

The pioneers of euro ball were Sabonis, Peja and Kukoc. That is what started making GMs think that there are future stars in the pipeline. Also remember Dirk got traded for Robert "Tractor" Traylor.
This makes Dirk like the proof of concept of what the pioneers showed the league. After Dirk the league and the coaches stopped trying to pigeon hole the european players into something they are not and let them play their style which is better anyways. Imagine Andrey Kirilenko or Rudy Fernandez in this modern game? They had to put up with so much idiocy from their coaches who wanted them to play like garbage players who would jump high, lift weights but could not dribble or shoot to save their lives.
They don't actually hide either one. They are trying to keep them out of foul trouble because they are needed to be able to play at the end of the game.
Now when the clutch time comes neither one is bad on defense. They have leveled up their defense to above average but their role is to use their energy to score while the less gifted scorers have to play more defense.
What is crazy is that Jokic could probably level up Giannis if they were on the same team.
Imagine a statline of Jokic with 25 assists and Curry with 75 points. And then it becomes like a regular thing where people are disappointed if they dont see a thirty assist game or 70 points scored by either one of them?

NBA mods must be same guys as the ones running UFC. They allowed a lot of racist hatred against one fighter in the build up to the championship fight. And when the fighter they hated won, the shut down the sub for three days out of spite.
