Tatum or Ant?

[slamminsammya]

Why is this Timpf person's opinion even relevant in any discussion? Its weird to me that this place finds randos like this guy or that Youtube clown whose shtick is to be aggrieved on film because he is the smartest unemployed NBA coach out there. The only difference between those people and posters here is that they are choosing to use the socials to amplify their takes. If they want to post garbage over at the Sons of Colin Cowherd, that's fine but why do we even bring their idiocy here.

Serious question - why is Timpf an authority on hoops over even casual posters in this forum (I understand he played basketball - literally everyone who watches the sport has to some degree or another)?

Your content and takes >>>>>> whomever this clown Timpf is and the unemployed NBA coach who rants on YouTube. That applies for just about everyone else here too. The age of gatekeepers is over - if players and coaches have valuable insight (e.g. Redick or many but not all of the players who have pods) let's share and discuss them. But playing semi-pro basketball or D1 doesn't qualify you to have a professional take. Having a good takes qualifies you for that and none of this content is good. Its no better than we get here yet people seem to think it bolsters their positions or whatever. If you need Timpf to make your case, you are losing...

I'm as guilty of this as anyone, but I guess I always hope to find interesting voices who can analyze the game in ways that make me think. Out of the current crop, that's only really been Ben Taylor, JJ, and the Dunker's Spot guys.

Timpf is smart enough and has some decent breakdowns, so I think people were hoping for more from him beyond "this guy's jumpers went in for a few games! He's MJ!"
