WWW - 2023 Pickle Report Week 3
What a tremendous race this week. In NBA week three we saw an explosion of individual perfomances many of which were desterving of a pickle in the own right. We saw SGA average 35 a game at nearly 2 steals per match. Tyrese Maxey made his first major push to take the top honors by dropping 50 with 7 3pts and 3 blocks against the pacers. We even saw Embiid have a pretty standard Embiid week.
However all these pretenders only served to awaken a sleeping beast. After having won 3 pickles in each of previous seasons and losing out on his deserved regular season MVP the reigning finals mvp and champion has to remind everyone just how he's broken the game. By combining 2 35 point trible doubles with a 36 point 3 steal game the numbers pushed in his favor. A 21 rebound triple double set the tone for statistical domination. But managing a block per game and less than 3 turnovers per game. Who cares if this dude shot 600 from the line two games in a row.
At the end of week 3 we keep rolling out the hits and grant the one and only Nikola Jokic with his first of likely many pickles of this season, as our bread and butter "Pick of the week".
