Lakers bench guys always get overrated.
I'm right there with ya. Dame is having an MVP like year too. 30 ppg, 5 rpg, 8apg on 45/38/94. So he has all the counting stats. Then add in his multitude of gamewinners and just general elite clutch play.
I think Jokic and Embiid deserve the hype they're getting, but after them? Dame should be right there.
It's crazy because Portland is 20th in the NBA in point differential at -1.1 but are 9th in winning percentage. So they basically win a lot of tight and close games because in the final 2-3 minutes of a close game it just comes down to Dame and the other team swapping possessions, and Dame wins the battle the majority of the time. Dirk-esque.
