2019 NBA Playoffs: The Curious Case of Joe Ingles

Joe Ingles came into the NBA looking like a 27 year old middle aged man. As he has progressed through the wrong end of his career, he has actually improved every season during a time in which most scouts, coaches, and front offices assume that you are who you are at that age. Not Joe Ingles, like an NBA Benjamin Button, he seemed to get more athletic, more crafty, and more skilled the further he went into his NBA twilight years. Could we expect anything different from a person nicknamed “Dad Bod God”?

So unexpected was his improvement that hit became the inside joke of this website and other NBA writers to sarcastically put Joe Ingles name among GOATs of the NBA because—ya know—the irony.
