2024-05-01 13:13:45I've always loved great role players and one of my pet peeves is when franchises don't value them (looking at you Rob Pelinka). We have some tremendous role guys in these playoffs, so I wanted to take a little time to show some appreciation.
Coming into this season my two favorite role players were Alex Caruso and Gary Payton III, aka The Caru-show and The Mitten. When I played basketball, I was only able to get on the court because I was all-out effort every play and I love seeing guys who play that way make it big.
Josh Hart has displaced them. Has there ever been a more perfect Knick than Josh Hart? I'm very happy for Knicks fans that they get to root for this squad (Long-suffering devoted fans have to stick together).
In no particular order, here are some of the guys I love watching: * Jrue Holiday and Al Horford shutting down superstars with their defense * Aaron Gordon and his aerial displays on Jokic lobs * Jonathan Isaac being able to disrupt everything and everyone on the other team * Kevin Love and his beautiful outlet passes * Slow-mo aka Kyle Anderson making all the right plays * Surprisingly, Nic Batum being impenetrable defensively and knocking down trey's
Who are the unsung heroes that you look forward to watching every night?
