What is the closest baseball equivalent of Kawhi Leonard? A player who is good at hitting and playing defense on the field. Yet constantly gets injured. Easily a superstar candidate on both sides of the field.

Which baseball player do you nominate?

Runescape made a Trailblazer League. If NBA had such an equivalent, what would it be like? Considering there are ideas about in-season tournaments. What if NBA had this?

They were traded for one another in the offseason. Essentially a near 1:1 trade the Raptors and Spurs agreed on. How come Kawhi was booed while DeRozan was cheered? I mean Kawhi brought home a title while DeRozan kept choking in the playoffs. Why does he get cheered for this but Kawhi got all the hate?

Lebron is only 5 points away from 39,000. He'll likely have 40,000 by the end of this year. If he has a few more decent years maybe 45k. What about 50k? Do you think we'll see a 50k career scorer in our lifetime?

Regular season total only.

Which NBA player has played the most games without ever coming off the bench? Lebron came off the bench twice in his career. Or who played the most games but fewest off the bench?

In the MLB, the World Series is called the Fall Classic. Why don't we call the NBA Finals the Spring Classic? I mean it takes place during the spring (just before the summer). Wouldn't that be a nice name?

In baseball, hitting for the cycle is a rare offensive feat that involves collecting each type of base hit. If you were to think of an NBA equivalent of that, what would it be?

Currently, in the MLB playoffs, home teams this season are 15-24 (.385 win %). Even if all home teams go 4-0 for the remainder of its games, it's still a .442 win %.

Has there been a full NBA playoff season where the combined record for home teams was < .500?

On October 29, 2008, the OKC Thunder officially played their first NBA game since relocation from Seattle. They would lose 90-87 with a rookie Russell Westbrook as their leading scorer with 13 points (tied with Chris Wilcox).

Yep. Time flies. Felt like yesterday.

It reminds me of Legend of Korra where after the fight with Zaheer, she struggled to recover both physically and mentally. Even after a full physical recovery, she still felt like she was never the same. It completely broke her.

Has there been an NBA superstar where after one play, he was never the same, both physically and mentally? I know injuries happen but I'm sure there are plays that just seem to kill their confidence for a long time.

Both Benders were lottery picks for their respective draft year. They were big men with high expectations. They were both 18/19 on their debut. Unfortunately, they were both out of the league fairly quickly.

Who do you think was a bigger disappointment and why?
