I read the first four words and got absolutely terrified
RIP to paolo on being the last out of 260 players….
Squid game leaking into /r/nba
made my stomach do a backflip
Fantastic profile pic btw. Her music is so amazing
Who is it? I need some new music.
Bjork bro. Not new at all but some of the most interesting stuff ever made.
I still haven’t heard her music but I saw her in The Northman (outstanding movie) and everyone freaked out that it was her
She’s quite reclusive and mega big deal to a lot people, I’d bet that’s what the reactions were about
OH MY GOD WE’RE HAVING A FIRE sale
NOW GET OUT your pen
CANT EVEN SEE WHERE THE KNOB IS
goated scene
From what?
Arrested development

That’s right, dead serious about going to itchy and scratchy land.
Fight fight fight Fight fight fight
Paolo is no more more
NOOOOOOOOOOO
That’s right! Dead serious about going to Itchy and Scratchy Land!
Edit: I am like the fifth person to make this comment and I feel like I am part of a community.
Paolo Banchero is dead at 36.
hell of a way to go
That’s why he’s last though . It’s a weekend at Bernie’s situation
The puppeteer is in the rafters
Same, fucking crazy way to word your post title
I’m downvoting just for shitty title.
The title is fine. There are words after “dead”. You’re all being weird
Op is a piece of trash.
I read the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 13th, and 20th words and immediately tried to warn him
Lol same
Same here
Same here. I was totally shook for half a second.
I didn’t even know he was sick
Yea man, I’m in bed it’s midnight, doing a quick browse of the sub before bed.
Heart dropped for a second there.
Paolo Banchero is dead…
That’s right, dead serious about going to Itchy and Scratchy Land
Fight fight fight. Fight fight fight
Heihachi mishima is dead….. Tekken 5
Where were you when Paolo was died
Like he’s Heihachi or something
This remake of Lost Highway makes less sense than the original
https://youtu.be/bbQh_S2g6CI?si=ZneGKMH-gJnYa-LJ&t=189
He’s no more more…
We fucking failed him
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He’s locked in my basement haha
rest in peace PB no J🙏
Wait that is such a disrespectful nickname 😭 bruh why you do Paolo like that
the nickname has been circulating around nba circles for a few months now lol 😂
The NBA always has, and always will, have the best nicknames.
Wow this goes into the pettynym all-timer list next to Dubious Handles, Horton Heaved a Two, WebEmbiid
Day-to-day Davis.
Out of service Pervis
Benamin Simmons (no J), World B Flat are my two favourites
Westbrick
Bro fucking phrasing
“Victor Wembanyama is dead… excited to play in the All Star Game”
“Lebron James is dying… to keep playing until he’s 50.
“Dead last” is a very common phrase. You guys are exhibiting a bizarre collective mental illness in here. Not really sure what to call it
It’s called a Reddit moment
This is normal phrasing it’s just hard to tell tone
Seriously
Dude how many Paolo hate posts are you gonna make 😭😭😭 (he kinda deserves it though)
Paolo might need a restraining order on OP at some point
Bro is either not locked in on defense or has the slowest reactions in the league.
He gets cooked on defense consistently. He’s just got bad lateral movement speed
He’s slow laterally but he can still get deflections. Jokic is super slow but he gets a lot of deflections. This seems more of a basketball iq issue since you can get deflections from just good positioning.
It’s a motor issue
True yea makes sense too. I read somewhere that deflection rates was actually a good indicator of basketball feel which I found weird since it’s so different but it seems like many of the best at getting deflections also just have good overall basketball feel.
Eh, I’d have to see the data to be convinced simply because Tari Eason is a deflection monster with the basketball feel of a brick.
It’s probably because he’s dead, although I stopped reading the headline early so who knows.
I mean depending on your beliefs nothing matters much after you die…
He hates mosely and stopped buying in. I hate mosely too but his effort is straight up pathetic and costs us multiple games this year.
This is clear as day to anybody who watches Magic games. Paolo is also out as shape and was before his injuries this year. I’ve defended him for a while, this year is inexcusable.
The title should say “Pablo ranks dead last.” The message would’ve been more clear.
The title is perfectly clear as is.
Redditors cant read past the 4 words apparently
Better choice of words next time please
JFC dude my heart
my heart dropped, this is nasty wording😭
He’s last because Jahlil Okafor is out of the league
PABLO ESCOBAR IS DEAD!
…what’s this mean?
Means he’s lazy on defense
He’s an extremely poor defensive.paymaker and you can maybe question his defensive effort
Does it? For 30+ minutes he’s 2nd to Zubac, who was all defense last year…
Wings and bigs play defense differently
Paulo is the same weight as Zubac, and a power forward
Lmao man my heart skipped a beat.
Stop it.
BRO
I hope the Magic do some dumb shit and trade him to the Lakers one day 🤣
Ummm please no I’m good
Assuming they don’t Nico it, please do
You guys got luckier than us lmao
If that’s the Lakers’ big post-LeBron move to help Luka then they’re fucked lol
We will trade him for Reaves and you’ll like it
Certified hater. Find something else to do with your time bro
My man Dru Smith leading the league in this AGAIN. Dude is such a pest on defense
He was gone too quickly
Dead last and still disparaging the good name of Balmer, Kawhi and the Clippers?
My annoying conspiracy theory is he’s one of those “want to be in a big market” kind of players who don’t give a f– unless they’re a celebrity on the big stage.
I think hes just playing awful and hes too immature to really grow from it
His body is also way too heavy
He should consider transitioning to being a Sengun type 5 or he should get in shape. Orlando in a mad spot with him. One of worst contracts in league.
He needs to get jn shape. Also his body language is just pathetic right now. If you could compile his turnovers this year and watch his effort afterwards it would be straight up pathetic.
Nah he’s just from Seattle. They’re chill. Not really trying to do all that. I’m from Seattle so I get it
He gave a fuck before. I think he hates mosely and has just quit on the team (Bitch move). He’s young so I hope it works out, the last 2 years playoff Paolo and post all star break Paolo when he was bought in is so good, he can be that guy, but something is up rn. His body language is BAD.
Had me in the first half
Is this really what a new AndyHoops vid does?
This is like the third topic on an NBA sub knocking Paolo today.
Because he is BUNS for a #1 pick
Would you rather have Banchero or Ayton? Banchero or Kwame? Banchero or Bennett?
He sure isn’t a superstar at this early stage in his career, but he is by no means a bad pick for a #1. Kid isn’t even 25 ffs.
Brah….
When it rains it pours. Time to start frying paolo
Jesus fucking Christ
Mods take this one down and make OP use a different title
Paolo Banchero is dead, long live Paolo Banchero
PHRASING
Can’t sprain your thump that way.
He’s going to get traded this offseason. Can be for Giannis.
Paolo slander is working overtime.
To be last at anything is such a bad look lol
Bros hype is at an all time low
Hating Paolo, so hot right now.
Paulo is kill
no
Idk I’m from Seattle too and I kinda get Paolo. We’re just not really reactionary and pretty slacker. Just kind of a thing ya gotta deal with I guess. Like, if we want to we’ll own your ass but just overall, we’re pretty whatever. Paolo has that vibe and I love it
Post title is horrible for anyone with a large font size
Paolo + Assets for Giannis
Giannis Suggs Bane and Franz is an amazing core 4 to compete defensively and give Giannis space to slash and bash
So he can’t shoot or defend ?
He needs a team like Spurs or Heat. I guess I’m in minority but I’m still convinced the kid can be an excellent player.
Crazy title
Horrible title
GTF out of Here
What the fuck man. Phrasing!
He just died
Bro u know what u were doing w that title
WTF is that title
What a shit awful title holy fucking jump scare
wtf is that caption, fr i thought someone died.
Omg. I just opened reddit and saw the “Paolo Banchero dead” and my feed refreshed. I got so scared😭
I mean, someone gotta be last
Fuckin nerd, he’s still so young gtfo
Ah deflections, a great stat
Unironically it is
True that’s why Reed Sheppard top 8 in the league in deflections is a great defender and doesn’t get pulled out of games because of his defense
Literally no one is saying it’s the only stat that matters
I mean, he is a much better defender than he gets credit for (even from his coach)
Its a pretty good measure of defensive instincts and effort
Paolo is equal last with Isaiah Stewart, who is a very good defender. Not saying Paolo is a good defender (he isn’t) but I don’t think this stat is all that relevant as to defensive ability
And also 2nd in 30+ minutes to Zubac, who was all defense last season…
It’s definitely shows defensive effort and how attentively you are playing that side of the ball
It’s better than steals. You can definitely tell if a player is putting pressure
Lol what?
Smart NBA people treat deflections, steals etc or anything that disrupts possessions and/or generates them too as very important especially when it comes to evaluating talent in the draft so yeah
Paolo lack of stock creation is one of the causes for his lack of impact compared to Franz, Suggs and Black
Fuck your shitty title man. Do better.
Zubac is incredibly low at deflections, to your posts point, and was all defense last season…
he’s a 250lbs center
Paulo is a 250lb power forward lol
If you watch him this year it’s telling. Watch him on D. Or better yet, watch him after a turnover.
He’s not giving effort.
