Congratulations NBA fans, we have made it through the first quarter of the 2020-21 NBA season WITHOUT IT GETTING SHUT DOWN!
Well, I guess we shouldn’t jump ahead of ourselves. Players are in and out of the line-ups daily. Games are getting postponed left and right. Fantasy basketball teams have gone up in flames (in case you’re wondering why you haven’t seen much of Gabe Lloyd’s FAVES and FADES picks for basketball). Nonetheless, we have seen some players rise above and SHINE, and others fall apart. Without further ado, here are my best and worst of the NBA Player Rankings in the 2020-21 NBA season so far!
The 2021 NBA All-Star night is set for March 7th, 2021. At the break its time to hand out some awards at the midseason!
2020-2021 NBA Season betting guide
The 2020-2021 NBA Season is one of a kind. A first-half second followed by a second-half and so many “safety protocols” precautious causing last-minute line-up changes. Here is a guide to best analyze how to make the right pick.

BEST – Collin Sexton
There is a new phenomenon taking over the state the Ohio. They are missing their King no more.
Cleveland has now been renamed SEXLAND (and it is not because Pornhub moved their HQ out there).
It is largely in part because of one man – Collin Sexton. Now look, I’ll be honest, I’ve watched a grand total of one Cavaliers game this season, but that was enough for me. This man single-handedly decapitated the three-headed monster from Brooklyn AND the referees in an incredible performance last week.
Sexton has done something LeBron James never got to accomplish in Cleveland – score 20 points in each of his first 10 games this season. This guy is bound to be an All-Star, bound to be on some All-NBA teams, and if the Cleveland Cavaliers can build around him, dare I say leading this team during the PLAYOFFS?! Yeah, I said it. And if I am a Cavs fan, I am relishing in some delayed gratification because it appears that they have won the Kyrie trade too.
WORST – Russell Westbrook
We’ve all heard about the new Commander-in-Chief at the White House, but did you hear about the new Tank Commander leading the Washington Wizards?
Allow me to introduce you to the man meant to sell the idea of the Wizards being a playoff team. A man who alongside Bradley Beal would make a lethal scoring back-court duo and not force Scott Brooks to come up with line-ups or set plays (because that is not what he signed up for, apparently). Russell EASTbrook should be reveling in a renaissance just like Bubble Melo did last season. He had me fooled. Admit it, he fooled you too.
Unfortunately, the Russell EASTbrook campaign has served as nothing more than just another cautionary tale in the NBA. We are sitting courtside and bearing witness to what happens when a player relies on his athleticism, explosiveness, AND NOTHING ELSE. But, what happens when FATHER TIME and injuries come knocking and you have not developed anything else in your game? Russ cannot shoot, handle the ball, drive to the basket, or even beat his man nowadays. The Washington Wizards may as well hit up the league offices, offer to forfeit games, let their new tanking commander do his thing, and FADE FOR CADE!
P.S. – Bradley Beal if you are reading, GET OUT OF WASHINGTON ASAP!

What is a sign that we are ONE STEP CLOSER to the 2020-21 NBA season? New NBA City Edition Jerseys getting dropped by all 30 NBA teams just in time for the holidays!
Let’s be real. I’m no “fashionista”. I have been living in PJ’s since early March and it looks like I will be doing so for a while longer. But, there are no rules in 2020. Who is to say I can’t sleep and work from home in a HEAT ViceVersa jersey?
Here are my Top 5 NBA City Edition Jerseys ranked:
#5 CHICAGO BULLS
First, we have the Chicago Bulls City Edition jerseys. I am HERE for the vibe with these jerseys! They appear to be right off the set of The Great Gatsby or even Boardwalk Empire. Can you imagine Al Capone strutting around in one of these back in the “Roaring 20s”? I think he would approve.
These jerseys are cool because they feature Oregon’s beautiful landscape. To add, the colors on them honor the tribal nations that have been calling the area home forever. Looking forward to seeing how Dame D.O.L.L.A. styles it on the cover of his next album.
Our 2020-21 uniform celebrates the unique beauty of Oregon’s landscape as well as acknowledging & honoring the tribal nations throughout what is now considered Oregon who have called this land their home from the beginning.
Well, I guess if Michael Jordan is going to splurge on aging vets prone to injury, he might as well do the same for his team’s jerseys, right? Nevertheless, I do like the mint color with the gold black trimmings and the gold hornets on these Buzz City jerseys. They probably won’t make the playoffs, but at least they will look good on the court!
Buzz City Minted apparel will be available TOMORROW!
Undoubtedly so, we CANNOT let the conversations around social injustice against the black community die. What better way to keep it alive than with a jersey honoring a Civil Rights leader front and center? (FYI – Martin Luther King Jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia). For this reason, I must say the Hawks nailed it here!
Did a bit of “homer” bias play into this pick? Sure. However, there is no denying the HEAT just can’t miss with any of their Vice designs. The colors, the presentation, and the typeface blend the team and its ties to the city of Miami so perfectly. Also worth noting, these jerseys would be perfect to wear at a gender reveal parties (though this trend needs to die already). I remember the first Vice Wave drop like it was just yesterday with the 90s vibe, neon lights, and of course – the sounds of Lights, Camera, Action by Mr. Cheeks. Santa, if you are reading this…
