Top 5 Players in the Eastern Conference

We are tanking the top 5 players in East and West. We are releasing are top 5 in the East first.
East:
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks): Being 6 foot 11 inches at 220 pounds, athletic as all hell all he needed was the skill set to be one of the most dominating players in the sport. After a averaging 26.9 points a game at a 52% shooting percentage while grabbing 10 boards, and about 5 assists a game, with the former most dominating player in the East Lebron James leaving to LA gives Antetokounmpo the best player in the East award. Showing he can get big numbers, lead a team at 23 the future is beyond bright.
2. Kawhi Leonard (Toronto Raptors): If this was Leonard of two years ago we’d put Leonard at the top of East no problem. Before the 2017-2018 season Kawhi Leonard was the second best player in the world being the second best two way player behind Lebron James. After injury and not knowing where his head is at after going to Toronto we will put him at a safe two in the East.
3. Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers): After seasons of injury Embiid came alive on the Twitter webs and on the court. Being one of the two monsters for that young 76ers team. After averaging 22.9 points and 11 rebounds this season he can play in the paint with big men and shoot from the perimeter. He’s a monster at 7 foot. The future is finally looking bright in Philly and Embiid is a big reason why.
4. Kyrie Irving (Boston Celtics): The East is tough because all the top players besides Giannis seems to have an injury problem, Kyrie Irving is no different. Irving probably the best ball handler ever, next to Harden to the best finisher at the basket, he is clutch as we learned in the 2016 Finals, and the best guard in the East. With Brad Stevens as his coach and system surrounding him he can only improve.
5. John Wall (Washington Wizards): Choosing between Wall and Irving was tough since Wall does average almost 5 more assists, but Irving’s ability to finish, and play in the big moment puts Wall at 5. Wall is an outstanding talent, he is explosive, great handles, the best pick the Wizards maybe have ever made especially at number one.

The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division

  The Current State of the UFC Heavyweight Division  We are about a week since UFC 260 when Francis Ngannou shook up the world. At UFC 260 Francis Ngannou showed off some new ability and his generational power to take home the title world baddest man and the UFC Heavyweight Championship away from Stipe Miocic. The headliner at UFC 260 was the greatest UFC Heavyweight of all time Stipe Miocic defending his title for a second time against The Predator Francis Ngannou. Miocic dominated the first fight with constant takedown pursuit against the non existing takedown defense of Ngannou. Some thought the same would happen, others believed Ngannou power was going to pull through on this occasion. No one really knew if Ngannou improved his cardio and grappling since him and the champ last met. Ngannou got another title shot by knocking out all his opponents in less than a minute except for Derrick Lewis. Which was a snooze fest that Lewis pulled out. Nonetheless Ngannou didn’t have to...

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever

Were You Entertained? By Maybe The Greatest Game Ever How mad are the fans in Mexico City that LA got their game due to poor field conditions? What hell of game the 9-1 Chiefs and 9-1 Rams put on for us last night. The game lived up to all expectations, and more. MVP candidate Todd Gurley was hurt early in the game as he left the game around the 8 minute mark in the 4th, and didn’t get another snap until 7 minutes of game time after that. He had only 12 touches for 55 yards. Luckily his counterpart Kareem Hunt didn’t have a great game either, as he ran for 70 yards in 14 touches. Remember not great game to these Pro Bowlers standers. A task for the Rams to win was to win the turnover battle which they did, but came from a big help from young starting quarterback Jared Goff. Goff through no interceptions had 413 yards throwing, a 117 QB rating, a running touchdown, and 4 touchdown passes. The biggest one came at the end of the game with about 4 minutes left to go that gave LA a 54-...

Goat Talk NBA Bets June 1st, 2021

  Goat Talk NBA Bets June 1st, 2021  All bets through FanDuel  Celtics vs Nets  Nets spread 12.5  Over 233 Kyrie Irving 30+ PTS with win +260  Kyrie Irving top scorer +600  Yes no shocker here but the Nets will take Game 5 and avoid going back to Boston. Somewhere they really don’t want to play after Irving’s bottle incident with the fan. Irving stepped on the leprechaun logo and will step on the Celtics 2021 season. Irving will pop tonight against his former team. Irving is petty. Probably the most in the league. Irving will look to have a superstar night against the Celtics. Bet his friends will let him. Irving will score lots of points in the close out game against the Celtics. Yes -12.5 points seems to be a lot of points to cover but Brooklyn is the pettiest team in basketball they will look to make a statement behind that juggernaut offense. The Celtics stole game 3 and don't expect something of that magnitude to happen again. Kemba Walker is doub...
