Giannis needs to stop shooting 3s. 1-2 a game is fine, so not sure if that's what he shot, but sub 20% is just nasty.
Agreed on the LeBron part, he falls to 4-7 and while 11 NBA Finals appearances is impressive, he's currently still only 3rd in All-Time Scoring in this universe (35,866 - 1,062 behind Malone for 2nd) so the MJ debate might be over right now.
Would you believe Giannis' shoot 3 tendency is only at 30? It's crazy how that's too high (he's shot 7.5 3PA/36 this season and 7.6 3PA/36 in 2019-20) so we're gonna have to tone that down this off-season. I was blaming it on him recovering from his injuries this season and not being as aggressive yet.
In the playoffs he took 411 shots, 107 were 3s. He was 187-of-304 (61.5%) on 2s.

The Lakers didn't beat the Sixers the year before?
Separately, petition to have all users put out a historical post on Page 1
Lakers beat the Sixers in 5 in 2019-20 in this dynasty, so LeBron still has his 4th ring. But yes, he's now been swept twice in the Finals. Lakers seemingly lacked the physicality, swapping out Dwight Howard and Javale McGee with Marc Gasol and Aron Baynes seemingly wasn't the move.marshdaddy wrote: ↑26 Jul 2026, 20:21ohhh gotcha, I interpreted it as consecutive for some reason. Yeah, definitely not living down two sweeps.
Agreed on the historical data on Page 1, in my defense I didn't know how long it would take me to get this far but I'll need to work on putting something there
Lol so far the champions in this series have replicated their real-life counterparts despite my best efforts. Between Brooklyn's insane roster (which they're going to have to start dismantling to get closer to the luxury tax) and Russ' MVP season in Chicago, not to mention Giannis only playing 25 games this season due to injuries, I didn't think Milwaukee would have been able to do what they did this season, so credit to them.
Eric Bledsoe stepped up in the postseason, I've been thinking about trading him all season long but maybe now that he's got a ring I can find someone willing to look past paying him $18.13M & $19.38M the next two seasons.
---------------------
Appreciate the comments everyone, trying to work through the offseason and make as much financial sense as well as basketball sense as I can and it's taking a lot longer than expected. Plus duties outside of video games have required more attention, and I play a lot of video games as is. I want to get at least through the offseason, I'm undecided on doing a Season 3, at least in the same way I was collecting information this season.
The information delivered about the off-season might be a lot more text-based, just to save myself time having to make graphics for everything. But then again I have a lot of photos taken from this season that I didn't use so it's something else I'm undecided on.
