Just so you guys know, a Rui Hachimura midrange-ilation is DEFINITELY happening after the season is over. I have a feeling that Hachimura’s reliance on those pull-up midrange jimbos is going to decrease in the future as he gets more comfortable with scoring on other ways, so I can’t afford to miss this opportunity. If you’re in my highest tier of Patreon donors and were thinking of requesting a Hachimura midrange-ilation as your allotted one -ilation request of the year, think of something else to request, because this one is happening whether or not anybody requests it.
It’s too bad that Hachimura got kicked in the balls so hard that he had to miss a month and a half of games. I mean, ball health is a primary concern for a young man who has yet to pass on his athletic genes to his offspring, so I don’t blame him for sitting out that long. It’s just that, an absence of that length has a big effect on his raw statistical totals for the season. It also completely derails his already weak case for ROTY of the year. Personally, I think that a significant health-related hardship like almost having your balls fall off should count towards ROTY of the year, but I don’t think the voters would agree with me on that one.
