"This is skill, high IQ, and a pass-first mentality—all rolled into one. If your point guard makes this play, you’re thrilled. If your four or five makes this play, you’re the world champs."
Now the most important player on the best team in the League.
MVP-caliber year, but improved his game soooo much, he’ll get Most Improved Player Votes too. (Insane.)
Will be an All-Star Starter.
The Logo called it. Now the rest of us are beginning to grasp it: the revelation that is #DrayMagic.
We talked about The King and Steph being the transformational players of our era. Is it possible that #DrayMagic might be the third?
If triple doubles are the easy stat indicator of all around impact on the court #DrayMagic already has SEVEN for the season and three in a row.
Think about #DrayMagic’s career trajectory:
Great college player, but dubbed an “under-sized” tweener without a real position, drafted in the SECOND ROUND at 35. Here are the eight power forwards drafted ahead of him:
The Brow (1), Thomas Robinson (5), John Henson (14), Royce White (16), Terrance Jones (18), Andrew Nicholson (19), Jared Sullinger (21), Arnette Moultrie (27).
Outside The Brow, ever heard of them?
In 2014, he made some noise as the back-up behind “All-Star" David Lee. And really turned heads in the playoffs when Lee went down with a hip injury.
In 2015, he takes over as starter, becomes the “heart and soul” of the team, First Team Defense, Runner-Up DPOY, #TheDeathLineup Enabler, World Champion, Trash Talker Extraordinaire, THE star of the Championship Parade, signs a $85M contract, donates $3.1 to Michigan State and…
Guys, we have TWO legit rags-to-riches, Cinderella stories on The Dubs.
And I think #DrayMagic’s might make a better movie.
