Austin Reaves is literally just luka x 0.75
How the FUCK did the Mavs not get AR in the Luka trade???
>>151644787>Lakers are a better team without LeParlay.facts
>>151644789yup
On March 5, 2025, the Portland Trail Blazers played the Boston Celtics in one of the regular season’s final games. The Celtics were nine-point favorites, and played as such, taking the lead shortly before halftime and never relinquishing it.But with just 12 seconds left in the game, Boston leading 126-118 and dribbling out the clock, something strange happened. Portland began fouling. Why on earth would a team down eight points foul twice — once with a foul to give, once with a foul that sent Boston to the line with six seconds remaining?You can see it clearly in the video — most of the Celtics, and three of the Blazers, are standing around waiting for the game to end, while Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson zero in on Boston’s Payton Pritchard not once, but twice. After the second foul, Pritchard sank two free throws to push the score to 128-118, which is how the game ended.Tell me how this shit isn't rigged?
Reaves without his 2nd and 3rd options to help him out and he carries the team with a 50 point near trippie dubbie. Historic stuff.
>>151644795Sorry, i forgot T.TReposting this here:Austin Reaves>51 pts>10 rebs>9 asts>2 stls>+22
>free throws are okay if you're whitegood to know
>>151644798Nico hates white people. He traded all the white guys. The only reason he drafted Cooper is because he was the consensus first pick and everyone would kill him if he dares to pick anyone else.
>>151644807Here's the articlehttps://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/how-can-we-trust-the-nba-right-now-175020161.html
>>151644810>free throws are okay if you're the third option being called overrated for one bad playoff series Fixed it for ya champ
>>151644810It's still faggot behavior but at least reaves takes some nasty 3s
>>15164480911 rebounds. Get the pasta right next time.
>>151644810free throws are always ok
>>151644804>leafjeet unironically responding to himselfsad!
>>151644814>thinking that Nico makes decisions based on the fan base hating him or liking him
>>151644820what does it matter if hes a first option in this scenario? a first option will score more without a 2nd option, and vice versa. This is an arbitrary distinction.
>>151644828Maybe the box score was delayed on my end
>I told you Nico you fucking nigger, you can't have Reaves. Take Max Christie while I still let you have him.
>Lakers have two SGAs in their starting lineup
>Deandre Ayton: 22/2/15 in 36 minutesContract year ayton is a demon
>>151644837>every canadian is the samemental illness?
>>151644840A third option player* you fucking dipshit. You deranged third worlders see a player go from a SRP to beating an almost full powered play-in team in a 50 point game all by himself and instantly seethe because he's White. Literal subhuman behaviour lmao
Of course the lolcow is simping for fucking Austin Reaves now LOL
where is he
>>151644876lmfao
My Lakies got the leafjeet having a melty
>>151644798 Pelinka managed to turn it into basically a 1 for 1 trade by using the "he's fat and injured line" to nico
Reaves would lead Cryiors to a championship this year if you put him on that team in place of Butler or Curry
Jeets keep seething kek>>151644889They don't wanna see a cold White boy win
tomorrow is nugshits vs wolves lmfao, good luck bawbs
>>151644901Damn, this is true.Curry and Reaves would be dangerous as fuck.

>>151644923Ant is killHe needs to load manage
>>151644934They don't need Ant to win, if anything Ant is a detriment.
wheres that retarded leaf indian
>>151644934they gotta keep the killstreak going regardless
>>151644766nico kwab wasn't able to get reaves for luka
>>151644901>Reaves passing to Curry instead of Jake LaRavia and Dalton Knecht
>>151644766>the breaks of the gamegoated book
Statline doesn't even do justice to AR here btw, he was doubled and pressed all game and most of the fouls weren't even baited, Kangs literally can't play defence without fouling. He did this while running the offence
>Signing westbrook
>all this talk and seethe over reaves overshadowed ayton's 22/15I get it was against saboner but honestly if he can just be a double double machine this season would be a success for him
Kings presser is full of seethe
that's a lot of 30 point games bros
Who will be in the ASG this year and why will it be AusHIM Reaves?
>>151644999The Queens are the biggest crybaby organization in pro sports. Literal dogshit franchise. Blame the refs every single time you lose instead of blaming your trash ass players who can't play defense and let the shortest guy on the court score 51 on you
>>151644887he's in NBL doing well
>>151644991>I get it was against sabonerTbf AD used to get bitched by Sabonis so this is a nice change.
wish I listened to the kings broadcast to hear that woman cope
>>151645016they're in trouble this year
>>151644991I like that Ayton also isn't some meme height like 6'10. He may actually find success on this Lakers team because he doesn't have to defer to total retards.
>>151644985Westbrook was unironically the Kangz most effective player tonight. But he also played a ton of minutes when Reaves sat lol
Kings won
>>151645007I honestly can't tell if he's extremely dark skin or they haven't created his clipart yet
>>151644901>or Currynice bait, subhuman retard.
that's right goygetting bent over and raped by the refs is part of the gamethe goys we own on espn said so your whole life and easily brainwashed you into thinking that it's acceptable
>>151645031Kangs always lose
>>151645029I know he can play well some nights but man is nothing but a loser. when the nuggets got him I knew they wouldn't actually win
>>151644991Reaves played really well with him. Luka just wants a dunk bot for a center, but Reaves got Ayton into that kind of short jumper/floater range that Ayton is known for. For now Ayton is at least a huge upgrade over Jaxson Hayes who was legit unplayable.
>>151645042careful now, theyll start calling you a "jeet" for this.
>>151645048They're trying to get him to play big. I do agree AR has much better chemistry with DA right now
which team would benefit from a sabonis trade?
>>151645048Yeah Luka is basically unplayable with Ayton and he should never see major minutes without Reaves as his primary distributor
>>151644846>Max Christie
I feel bad for bronny. Lebron seems to like AR and Luka more than him now he's confirmed a bust. Lebron is a psychopath and bad father
>>151645070kings
>>151645069Reaves was screaming for joy when Ayton finally dunked it this game lmao
>another jeet melty How can you be permanently upset.
>>151645073not completely unplayable but I think they just need time to create chemisty, like the other anon said luka likes pure rim runners who just dunk for the most part, ironically he pairs better with hayes
>>15164507076ers, Bulls, Hornets, Raptors, Suns, Pelicans all stand out as teams with bad contracts, aren't developing a young center, and would benefit from a center upgrade with Sabo's skills.
>>151645131But Hayes is extremely unphysical/uncoordinated so the matchups where Hayes can actually do his role of rim runner are few and far between. Plus he's an ass rebounder for the same reasons.
Is Reaves the white Luka Dončić?
>>151645154'fraid so
>>151645131Ayton basically said they're working on it in an interview
You all saw that insane rig job right?
>>151645131fuck I just noticed that typo, have to kill myself now
DominAYTON, LuGOD and AR15 are the next big 3.
>>151645168Silver is loading a deep run for Lebrons final lakers year. Expect Smart to be able to punch people in the face and Luka/AR/Lebron to average 90 FTA
>Bucks' 2nd option is some guy called AJ GreenYeah, they're not going to the finals...
More like AR-51 Amirite
>>151645200hes actually sick, the problem is the point guard
>>151645206Area 51
>>151645209I know he's decent, but they need at least a borderline all star player to even have a chance
Best white American single performance since…Larry Bird?>Chet >Hayward >Stockton I’m sure Stockton had a game this good, but I ain’t gonna look it up.
>Reaves said he was texting with Luka Dončić this morning - typical trash talk, which is their dynamic - and Luka told him he needed 60 tonight. >Reaves ended up with 51, but it’s enough to “hold over his head,” especially since Dončić got stuck on 49 last game.This Lakers team keep giving new materials to the NBA fujos
>>151645236Mavfags were saying Cooper is going to be better than Luka when he's not even gonna be better than AR
>>151645236Kevin Love
>>151645240BABB sissies... these yt bois laughing at us
Grim
>>151645236>>151645248My bad, forgot about this legend.
>>151645244Nobody said he was going to be better than luka or lebron. The media said Cooper was the best prospect since lebron. That's it. It's all hype from the media.
>>151645268>kevin love w/o lebum 50 points>austin reaves w/o lebum 50 pointshmmmm
>>151645268Yeah, he was doing pick and pop with Rubio in the Wolves before becoming a 3rd option on the Cavs
>>151645268>>151645236
>>151645301legendary statline
>>151645236This wasn't a very impressive performance if you watched it
>>151645345Bullshit. It was more impressive to watch it.

Cooper Flagg already has more dunks through 3 games than Luka has in the past 5 seasons combined.
>>151645230nah. giannis is consistent enough to carry these cats, giannis legit just needs 1 more shooter and playmaker.

reaves & flagg. great day for white kangz
>listen here, white boy, I need you to hit the over tonight, them gambinos ain't playin'
did nico really win? he unironically is retarded
>>151645796It's actually insane how many good players Nico has traded. If Flagg plays too well he's next.
>>151644809REAVEGOD
>>151645796Who the fuck are #22 and #5?? Absolute nobodies.
Even with this being literally the 1st week, seeing the Bulls at the top of the conference is jarring
reavy boy has hood tendencies
>>151645796Zero legitimate rings amongst these bums, don't any will ever win anything.
>>151645766>jordan poole that high a career 34.5% career 3point shooter, and even being charitable taking only his last two seasons hes still only 37.5% on insanely high volumeitd be more forgivable if it was that low on lower volume.Part of the reason this stat doesnt mean as much as it appears. It will also naturalky favour ball dominant guards. Curry isnt ball dominat and gets doubled more than anyone here before he even touches the ball
It's his league now.
>>151645908Zoomers all have that dawg in them that KD,Kyrie,Harden generation lacked.
this general needs to be permanently moved to >>>/trash/or>>>/pw/
>>151645994>Zoomers all have that dawg in them that KD,Kyrie,Harden generation lacked.it goes back even further than that. guys like tmac. god bless the zoomers.t. xennial chad
Is he a legit MVP candidate?
>>151645908i thought we had more time
>>151646049No, but any consistency could lead to 3d team NBA
Cooper Flagg will be a MUCH better player than Luka Doncic.Cooper is a TEAM player, UNSELFISH, and plays hard on BOTH ends of the floor.Cooper will win MULTIPLE MVPs and MULTIPLE Championships.
>>151646141His hair always looks so wet and sweaty after every game.
Minus Mitchell, these will be the MVP candidates this season
>>151646184Yes he sweats a lot and has thin hair. He'll be bald by 25.
>>151646184Cooper does play hard
>>151646049Bron will come back and ruin his stats. And Luka’s. Without Bron, Luka will literally average 35, and Reaves about 27. They have to because of their roster.
Gilgeous will win back to back MVPs
>>151646223Better hope he has good beard genetics.
Why the FUCK did Austin Reaves get 22 free throws? I know the Lakers just get phantom calls like this and they got 46 tonight but was this just the refs showing that they still own Sacramento?
>>151646223You’re bullish on his receding speed. I don’t buy it.
>>151646287Lakers whistle + Reaves' playstyle (He once said he studied James Harden's foul baiting skills)
>>151646289His bangs are covering his forehead in that pic. If you watch him play, his hairline is abnormally high. Either he naturally has a high hairline, or his hairline is receding (which is more likely)
These Raptors are fucking trash. Masai is a bum who fucked the team over for atleast the next 5 years. I hope Scotties asks for a trade and we finally start a full rebuild filled with lottery talent
>>151646289You posted a pic from when he was like 14?Both of his brothers have receding hairlines, including his twin. It feels weird to post them here but you can easily find pics on google. His dad probably got a transplant.Trust me, Coop has thin hair and it won't last. That's OK though, many of the greats went bald young. With his face though I think he will need a beard though to look decent.
>>151646356I was trying to show father + older brother it was the first pic i could find
Coop also has a strongly slanted forehead.
>>151646141Cooper Flagg is the white Tobias Harris
>>151646313We’ll have to wait and see i suppose
Bunch of fags in here autistically analyzing a kid's hair.
>>151646403>t. norwood 7
>>151645994I'm a millennial who grew up loving Jordan (still my GOAT), and I agree that this zoomer generation of ballers is more fun and respectable (so far) than the KD, Harden, and LeBron generation.
>>151646476Hard to believe these fuckers are still playing. None of them can possibly D up anyone anymore. When everyone reaches 35 and up, go check your athleticism and get back to me.
Magic could have chet right now
>>151645455That anon is right though, why does SGA averaging 6-8 free throws a game mean he’s a fake MVP/fake ring but Austin Reaves getting 20 means he’s elite? NBA fans are completely inconsistent
>>151645868Grimes and idk 22 Kek
>>151646141Fr tho Luka ain’t a team player dude gets upset if one of his role players don’t shoot a grenade
>>151645908Averaging a cool six blocks a game so far
>>151646141Turns out Cooper's really good, he just looked scared because they made him debut against wembeast
>>151647038Was he scared of the mighty wizards too
>>151647043He played alright against the Wizards
>>151646867You shouldn’t take shai free throw meme seriously. High volume paint scorers all get fouled a lot
Cam Thomas watch.Currently 29.3 ppg on 0.431/0.312/0.938 with 0.610 TS% and 31.4 USG%. The TS% is built on the 11 free throws per game hitting 94%, which is an unsustainable volume, but also would expect the 3P% to increase to career avg. Poor shooting from the field, but good overall efficiency and volume. It's early...
>>151646545we dont want that string bean
>>151647087Paolo aint da one son
>>151645048>that kind of short jumper/floater range that Ayton is known for.That's the whole fucking problem: your 7+ ft tall center shouldn't be known for weird 10-12 ft jumpers/floaters.
>>151647085He wasn’t inefficient in the limited sample size last year either. He is genuinely an elite scorer, the issue is ball movement and defence
>>151645301I'll never forgive LeBron for turning Love into skinny, a stand in the corner spot up 3pt shooter. He'd of never won a ring but KLove was soooo fun on the TWolves
>>151647109hes just a baby still
>>151645868Grimes is definitely not a nobody
>>151645994Late millenial here: I agree. I wish I had been born a zoomer
>>151646049Its been 3 games.
>>151647121I wonder what his contract will look like next year if he keeps this up.
>>151647109He's only 22, and is gonna probably average 26-8-5 the next 6-8 years. The efficency and shot diet worry me the most though. I'm scared he's basically a slightly better Scottie Barnes aka 'good stats bad team' kinda guy.
>>151645868Cason Wallace starts on most teams
>>151647144If the volume stays this high then the nets may well just bite the bullet and give him a big deal
>>151647156I think he is exactly a good stats bad team sort of guy. I don’t like Barnes and think he will never be a first or second option, but he has much better third option skills than paolo does. Tbh i don’t dislike paolo but chet would fit so well with wagner and suggs and bane
Reaves is him!
>>151647177Paolo has 1st option potential that Chet doesn't and that's what they were banking on. I don't know if he'll ever reach that potential but the potential is obviously there. Barnes has elite 2nd option potential. Chet is too skinny to ever be a first option and he and Wagner together is redundant. If Chet had to run 1st option on a team his statline would be nowhere near Paolo's
>>151647085>1.7 rebounds per gameHoly fucking SOFT
>>151647195I don’t see how Chet and Wagner together is redundant at all. One is a floor spacing 5 and the other is a rim pressuring ball handler, they would work perfectly together. Also for pick and roll lobs. As for Paolo I think it’s sort of first option or bust, because his off ball skills are pretty mediocre, whereas Chet’s are elite. I don’t buy Barnes ever becoming an efficient scorer, I think Draymond-esque connective piece is his best role in a winning team
>>151647195>Paolo has 1st option potentialPaolo sucks at shooting from three, midrange, and getting to the rim and finishing. He sucks at passing, can't run the pick and roll, can't play as the roll man, can't cut, can't shoot off movement, and plays shit defense. What is he good at that makes him a potential 1st option?
>>151647239Chet is a 7ft wing and so is Wagner basically, but Chet has no game. Chet can barely average 16 a game with the best player on the planet by FAR drawing all the attention. Chet is legit not a very good player.>Paolo's off ball skills are mediocreBecause he basically NEVER plays off ball and all Chet does is play off ball. Of course Chet looks like a better off ball player: it's all he does and all he can do and even then he isn't "elite" at it either. Being able to catch the ball and shoot 3s doesn't make you an elite off ball scorer: being able to create an effecient shot from a late shotclock pass in the 1 on 1 is what makes an elite off ball player. Elite off ball players are like prime Klay, Austin Reaves, Derrick White, Mikal Bridges, and Chet's teammate, Jalen Williams. Guys like that.Chet is just a mid player. It's disrespectful to say the Magic would be better with him over Paolo. Chet has basically hit his cieling as a player, Paolo is still growing. And you must not watch many Magic games but Wagner isn't a good #1 option. He is actually a ceiling good, but not great #2 option. Paolo can actually run as the 1 and command respect while doing so.
>>151647256He has averaged 26-8-5 the last ~2 years.
>>151647256>and getting to the rim and finishingYou outed yourself as not knowing his game. He is an elite slasher and finisher, it's the skill he has that most pops out when you watch him. When he gets going downhill it's over: he's either scoring or getting fouled.
>>151647300He took 21% of his shots at the rim in his first three seasons. That's very low for a 6'8 wing. This season he's upped that to 28% but he's shooting only 60%, which is absolute shit. Bancharo's a midrange merchant like KD except he sucks at it.
>>151647327I agree he settles too much for jumpers. We'll see what his shot diet looks like come mid season. He's trying to learn how to play with Bane right now, watching their games you can tell everyone feels awkward. I think they need a new coach.
>tfw Vag Edge-Cum hits the ceiling while producing the number one SEED..hehe
>>151647288Weirdly anti-Chet, so most of that was bs. Wagner is a better first option than Paolo, as proven by the Magic being much better when he’s on the court and Paolo isn’t than vice versa.
Paolo fan sadly just has poor arguments
10 years from now, when people talk about All Time Top Center, they'd say>Kareem>Hakeem>Shaq>Jokic>Wemby
>>151647358>With his friend Dem Boner
>>151647373I'm just calling it how I see it. You're free to disagree. Wemby has a lanier frame than Chet yet Chet still looks the same as college but Wemby has filled put 30+ pounds? That would worry me. Is Chet afraid to put in the work? His game hasn't expanded since college either.I love Wagner but I don't think he's a better #1 than Paolo. Both aren't good shooters and while yes Wagner put up good numbers when Paolo was hurt last year, they still weren't better than Paolo's numbers playing WITH Wagner. If Paolo had played that same stretch last year with Wagner hurt, he'd of put up gawdy numbers.
>>151647430Aww what's the matter scraggly teeth, scared I was gonna leave you on 'read'?
>Luka-Brunson>Luka-Kyrie>Luka-ReavesTurns out Luka doesn't have any problem playing next to another star guard. Imagine a young Suns team with Luka-Booker-Bridges trio.
>>151647491His game hasn’t expanded much because of two serious injuries, his frame isn’t much of an issue. You say he’s not an elite off ball scorer (i never said he was) unlike mikal bridges, despite him averaging more points on better efficiency than mikal, while mikal is also playing with two offensive juggernauts. You also ignore the fact that chet is a top 5 defender. Also picrel matters more than points per game (wagner had better per possession stats without paolo than paolo had with franz)
>>151647548>problem playing next to another star guardLol is that why the Suns went with Ayton?
Paolo is the ultimate eye test if you know you know playerI have faith in him
>>151647548neither of them play defense
>>151647590I think for the Suns it's mostly because Ayton played for Arizona and they doubted euro talents after Dragan Bender turned out to be a bust. It was the Kings who openly said they didn't draft Luka because they already had a star guard in Fox.But I remember arguing with Suns fans about Luka and Booker fit during those two years of CP3/Booker era when the Suns were good. They kept saying Luka wouldn't fit with Booker even thought you can see how much an elite PG helped Booker's game.
>>151647186
>>151646141
>>151645409Hooper Flagg has arrived
Why is Austin Reaves so thin but Luka is so fat?
>>151645409the crazy part is hes not done growing yet either
>>151647873levampire sapped his mana
My Spurs are good again :)
any player that scores 50 points but over 25% of those points are free throws means it doesn't count. It's fraudulent numbers.
Oh she followed the Lakers to Sacramento.

Can we PLEASE talk about how ACE Bailey is a fucking bust?
>>151648841Maybe we should wait a few of months before calling anyone a bust. Overreacting after every single game is getting kinda old
>>151648841Apparently hes under the weather these days
My God damn white girl sent me some Jokic shit like she doesn’t know I hate all white players
>>151647592No spacing with Franz
>>151649093stupid whore
>>151649113His stats without Franz are worse, he just takes more shots so the points are higher. Massive efficiency drop off and clear playmaking issues. It's not like Franz has much more space to work with when 32% 3pt shooter Paolo is on the court either anyway
>>151648567My queen </3
>>151649135His shooting is better without Franz because it opens him up on the perimeter to have a shooter on the court instead of Franz, he’s never going to be efficient he shoots 70% free throw
>>151649164Well his overall efficiency drops drastically so who cares
How do you lose to the lakers without luka and LeBron.
>>151649218Kangz
>>15164921848 free throws or whatever it was. kings are a laughing stock and lakers have way more fans tho so nobody will care
>>151648841Rumors around the organization say "Ace is upset that he wasn't the #2 pick. He's jealous that his college teammate Harper got to go to a winning organization in the sunny state of Texas (San Antonio), and he's up in Utah."
>>151649286Man being stuck in Utah must suck so hard for a rich nagger like him. It’s prolly worst case scenario really. Pretty funny
please move thread to /tv/ where it belongs
>>151649234Does anyone have that Statmuse graphic from 2023 when the Lakers made the WCF after having fallen to 13th seed earlier in the year? They shot a ridiculously unprecedented amount of free throws to make it to the play-in Obviously no one cares cause it’s Bron/Warriors in the playoffs

Just some random thoughts:- Key continues to show off massive improvement from last year. His defense in particular looks marketedly better, he looks like maybe even an above avg defender atm.On offense, I didn't enjoy how he finished the game in the last few minutes though, it seemed like a reversion to all of his bad habits, hopefully he takes it as a learning lesson.- Kessler was actually bad in this one. Potentially the worst game of his career. I'm just going to write it off and choose to believe that he must have caught Ace's flu.There was also 1 defensive possession that he messed up by over-helping, and seemed to blame Hendrix for some reason, which wasn't great (hopefully that won't be a trend).- Ace was disappointing, hopefully he'll be recovered from his illness by the next game. He'll have no chance at ROTY at this rate.- Walt is our PG of the future, we can lock that in as an absolute. Steal of the draft.I know that I have and will likely continue to excessively use this comp, but he just gives off very strong younger Brunson vibes to me. He plays under so much control, and really knows his angles when he's using screens and attacks the paint.- I'm not going to be shocked if the FO trades Key away because Walt proves that he's too good to be coming off the bench, and they'll want to capitalise on Keys improved value instead of moving him to the bench.- Svi is fine.
>>151649442Draymond is getting a 5th this year
>>151649471...if Curry wins another ring, we're gonna have to have an uncomfortable discussion about the GOAT...
>>151649515>Jordan is the unanimous GOAT because he had the best team/coach at the worst time in basketball GOAT conversation should have been open
>>151649286>Canceled workout: Bailey canceled a scheduled workout and dinner with the 76ers. >Preferred destinations: His team communicated that they preferred he be drafted by other teams picking later in the draft, such as the New Orleans Pelicans, Washington Wizards, or Brooklyn Nets, who were reportedly interested in him. >Unconventional strategy: Bailey's pre-draft approach was widely seen as unusual because he refused to work out for many teams and was selective about where he wanted to be drafted, leading to criticism from some media and former players. Who does this guy think he is? With that attitude, I don't think he's gonna make it very far in this league.
>>151648568Has Herro even played yet?
>>151649535If you've been blocked by a 5'3 player, only played ringless teams in the finals, have no 3 pt shot or handles or any kind of bag, can't go left, you do not qualify as the GOAT. Stephen Curry in terms of skill surpassed Jordan a long time ago. The real GOAT debate is going to have to be Curry vs The King.
>>151649569NoHe'll be back by late november
>>151649572Muggsy stole the ball from Jordan in a regulation game, went back the other way with it and scored and they called a personal foul. If 5’3 dudes can’t even guard Jordan without getting a ticky tack whistle what the fuck is John Stockton/Jeff Hornacek going to do?
How long do you think Wemby will stay healthy?
>>151649641Their window to win is right now, he doesn’t have much longer
>>151649572>Stephen Curry in terms of skill surpassed Jordan a long time ago.Im a curry fan and even I cant agree with this. Ill agree with virtually every other top 10 to 5 player. But not Jorgoat. Jorgoats game is just too good. Curry is actually underrated at the rim. But Jorgoat could simply jump higher, and that advantage + the finesse he had at the rim is too much an advantage to overcome. Really good iso scorer in the post. Fade aways were money because of how high he jumped and his footwork. I think its close, but id give Jordan the advantage skillwise just because of the physical tools and advantages he has. He can simply do more effectively to attack a team. Curry gets close with his handle and release time. But idk
>>151649649What if Embiid """accidentally""" falls on him...or Draymond becomes frustrated and violent near Wemby....
Meal.
>>151649699Make your own meals and you'll instantly start eating healthy.
>>151649535Phil Jackson wasnt shit before Jordan. I acknowledge Phil’s greatness but he was unproven before Jordan. Phil Jackson would not have coached his way to 11 rings without Jordan lmao
>>151649699where do i get a meal like that?
>>151649699That chicken looks dry as fuck, this is fucking grim
>>151649832That's the breaded crust, moron. You think the crust is supposed to be moist and soggy?
>>151649666Jordan had some low gravity mode on, he just floated up there
>>151649763Jordan would be mopping up a Wendy’s without Phil Jackson
>>151649865Bro ive eaten shitty fried chicken before I know when im looking at some shitty fried chicken.Speaking of chicken, the chicken strips at the Lakers game last week were fucking good
>>151649568In another timeline, Ace goes to the dinner, and gets selected by Philly, then goes on to be rookie of the year. Edgecoom goes to Utah and becomes irrelevant.

>>151649887Jordan could literally carry a bum mopping up a Wendys to a ring thats how fucking good he actually was
>>151649996Then why did they win 55 games with a literal Euroleague scrub (not Tony) starting in his place? Jordan’s team carried him not the other way aroundCurry never had that kind of talent around him
>>151649996Sure, but only if that mop the "bum" is bringing with him is Scotty Pippin
>>151649801walmart
My Lakies NEED to trade Lebron for some roleplayers. I don't want the Klutch Mafia to try to rob Luka of MVP and Reaves of All NBA honors because it would embarrass LeUnc.
>>151649996Jordan never went up against a top 5 all time player. All his finals were against bum ringless teams. All Jordan did was make Pippen and Rodman defend the best player on the other team and do his simple basic pullup middy because he has no bag. The average roleplayer in today's league can dribble better, has more training in ISO situations, can shoot 3s better, overall just a better player than Jordan, all Jordan has are big hands, vert and weak competition.
>>151650090Uncbros… how do we respond?
>>151650048>they won 55 gamesI seem to recall they won 72 with this dude. And 6 rings. Before him the entire franchise was a joke.Anyone can win 55 games, you are just easily impressed I guess!As far as Curry is concerned he has objectively had more help than Jordan by a wide margin but I like Curry a lot and rank him just above LeBron at my top 11 spot all time
>>151650090Jordan could be put on a planet where he was the worst player and become the number one. He could've picked a violin and become a virtuoso. He has that insane belief and mentality that makes greatness. You think he would've accepted some nobody having some skillset over him? With modern training and lebron caliber herbal medicines?
>>151650097>jordan has 6 rings!Bill Rusell has 11. There's no way for boomers to prop up Jordan with facts. Jordan is NOT the GOAT in any metric.
>>151650134Jordan missed every shot in the 3pt contest, he’s DeMar Derozan with Hamidou Diallo’s athleticism. Literally nothing special in the modern game, fringe all star caliber
>>151650140>why is Jordan the best individual player of all time?>his team won the most!Do old niggas really think like this?
>>151650090This retarded argument I would only engage with if I had never watched film of Jordan, but I have. Literally nothing is true, start to finish. This isnt twitter, a space filled with literal children, otherwise you’d get a retarded reply.Start with LOSING and go from there and its obvious Jordan is the GOAT - unless youre okay with losing and thus a loser.
>>151650173Okay, what is Jordan’s least embarrassing ring?
>>151650173Which part of that post is false? We can delve deep into it if you want. Adding context always makes Jordan look worse, not better. If Jordan was dropped in today's game, James Harden would be breaking his ankles on every possession and shooting 3s over him. Jordan can shoot all his 2-pointers all game long, he has no handles and no 3pt, no iso skill, he's just an obsolete outdated anorexic piece of shit.
>>151650194Jordan averaged almost 34 points in the Finals. As far as most embarrassing I think ill have to go with 2011 just because of how unbelievably pathetic of a collapse it was, but 2020 is bad too, like really fucking bad. Having to form a superteam to win at all is also pathetic so really, id call all of LeBron’s rings into question at this point.
>>151650212>James Harden would cook JordanHarden would average 9 points in the 90s and get knocked the fuck out every time he tried his gay floater lmao. That fatass nigga wouldnt stand a chance and its actually making me laugh imagining it
>>151650238Against an injured Kevin Johnson (6’1), you old heads never apply any context. Jordan was literally playing city councilmen and governors with a casual interest in basketball Curry had to beat the best in the world (international talent pool that was nonexistent in Jordan’s) to be the best.
>>151650259Grant Hill was snatching Jordan's ankles. Jordan historically had trouble dealing with anklebreaking niggas. James Harden would be shattering Jordan's ankles on every play and then doing his stepback 3 over him. Jordan will always be lagging behind playing catch-up because has no 3s or handles. Harden would average 50 against Jordan and Jordan will have to just seethe and take it.
>>151650288>never apply any contextGo watch some fucking film, Jordan was like an animal out there and he was both respected and feared by his competition. You idiots try to change the “context” by badmouthing entire eras and talking up this dogshit soft ass era when in reality the only actual basketball discussion to be had is regarding a players success vs their competition, and Jordan was just so god damned dominant that during his prime almost no one else even got to eat.
none of the players today would have be able to dribble in the 90s without a carry violation. These arguments are silly. They should be praising AI every day for getting the ball rolling on loosening up the handling rules, though he had to deal with carrying too especially when he pissed off refs
life's not fair
Looks like Ant's out.
currfans...why are we disrespecting jorgoat? even i think jorgoat is overrated, but thats mostly because he played against the most simplified defensive era since the 80s, where zone was illegal and he could just iso with little to no pressure and if ever doubled, just easily kick out to a shooter without even having to necessarily drive, also driving lanes were more open because no help defense, illegal defense also allowed the perimeter to be more easily open when doubled (seriously go watch highlights of the 1995 finals, its genuinely hilarious how simply the game was played back then)I think jorgoat would still dominate in this era, just no where as much as his conveniently mythical career of averaging 30 every year and being 6-0 in the finals. He would undoubtedly lose. And his 30 would be either more empty since hed be tasked to not JUST pass out of double teams or in transition, but ACTUALLY playmake, create shots. I think hed honestly be sort of like KD but better. And KD but better wins like 2 rings max without curry.
>>151650328>YN explains factually why Jordan’s rings were more embarrassing than LeBron’s using in game examples and context>oldhead responds emotionally about ‘killer instinct’ Tale as old as time
>>151650337my favorite is people pretending good shooters couldn't adapt to shoot a decent 3p% if it became mandatory
>>151650377So don’t judge these players based on what they actually were capable of but rather imagine they’d simply gain the skills just because? If learning to shoot is so easy why doesn’t everybody shoot 40%+?
How do betsloppers feel about this?
>>151650355That would be coming into the season out of shape.
>lebum's competition is better because he lost to them and jordan's is worse because he didn't
>>151650373He’d play overseas today, no room in the league for guards who can’t shoot. Could still have a great Euroleague or Indonesian career, his modern comp is KJ McDaniels
>>151650373>in this eraNo defense? No hand checking? Jordan is averaging 55. It would be repugnant.Jordan averaged almost as many assists as Curry over his career and youre saying he cant playmake? Youre aware Jordan averaged 8 AST one season right? His playmaking is underrated as fuck. Jordan had no weaknesses.
>>151650387you judge players based on the context they played in because it's the only rational way to judge due to how the game changes. There have been a ton of changes and nobody really knows how that would affect particular players. What would Lebron/Giannis look like without current gather step interpretation nor being able to consistently lower shoulders? What would MJ look like vs zones and the shading/hedging? What would Reggie Miller look like with his proto-harden antics when you can't even breathe on shooters now? All of this era is espn time filler nonsense for the low IQ
>>151650421Jordan said in his own words “I would not have had the career I had if I had to play against zone defense.” Lmao that’s your GOAT? Curry will bust a zone wide open
>>151650398it makes me wonder just how many of these players are intentionally throwing their own stats and still getting away with it. Think about it: all you would need is handler. You tell the handler how many points , rebounds, whatever you'll get to and stop. The handler places the bets, not the player himself. The handler wins, collects the profits, and finds clever ways to put the profits into the player's hands legally, i.e. laundering the money. This method would be virtually undetectable if done right. If sports betting is legal, there is no way to stop this from happening
>>151650437>What would MJ look like vs zones and the shading/hedging?Like shit, in his own words. Now imagine if LeBron could play physical defense and throw elbows corralling rebounds The reality is each generation has learned and developed from those previous. The average wind is shooting and hitting more threes than Bird in his prime, now what the fuck is lil Mikey gonna do when everybody is shooting like that?
>>151650387>why doesn’t everybodydid I say everybody? I'm pretty sure someone like mj could learn to step behind the 3pt line if he was required toover time the meta and rules of the game change and call for different playstyles. as long as there's decent opposition all you can do is rank someone based on their relative ability and dominance because they pave the way for the people who follow. otherwise you're giving in to a prisoner's dilemma where your own goats will be derided in 30 years as complete shitters whose halfcourt% or whatever was a joke
>>151650398you're a retarded fish if you ever were betting rozier overs in the first place and teams with coaches who make schizophrenic lineup decisions
>0-4
>>151650464It can't be that many because it's literal chump change for nba players, you're also limited in the amount you can bet especially if you win a lot.
>>151650468lebum would get mauleddis nigga got no ORB ORB is the stat of true dawgsall dawgs got ORBlebum "throwing elbows corralling rebounds" is probably the most hilarious fanfic ever written in these threads
>>151650464it honestly sounds like it's not worth the hassle for an nba player. It's throwing away your whole professional career and you have to bet in a way that doesn't get flagged. These companies are pretty elite at spotting these setup bets. They caught Rozier instantly because who the fuck is betting on Terry Rozier like that. The same would happen to all similar players
>>151650469Yeah, every skilled mid range scorer is elite at the 3 ball. Just like DeMar Derozan, you act like Jordan didn’t shoot threes at all he shot poorly every year aside from the one they moved up the line to mid range
>>151650493>LeBron would get mauledYeah they’re gonna beat up the 6’9 265lbs, now that’s fanfiction. Jordan was getting beaten up by dudes under 200lbs
>>151650355Noooooo

>>1516504842026 looks like the right draft to tank for at least. Various draft statbros are calling Boozer a Wemby-tier prospect
>>151650491>literal chump change for nba playerschump change for the starters, the veterans that make 10, 20, 30 plus million a year, yes. it's the guys on the bench, only making a couple million a year, that would maybe risk this. >>151650521>It's throwing away your whole professional career exactly. Jontay Porter risked it, because he was riding the bench, only making 300,000 a year.
>>151650533>DeMar Derozanyes, you're very intelligent, retroactively pick a midrange scorer who tried and failed to develop a 3 ball, and not the midrange scorers who are more than competent from 3, or vice versajordan shot the ball an absurd number of times, more than any modern player, and yet he averaged 1.7 3pa a game. his career high for a season was 3.6, he shot 12 3s once in his career, 8 six times, 7 fourteen times. he shot none in 330 of his 1072 gamesit wasn't called for, it wasn't a priority, and it certainly didn't hurt his ability to win games. again,>you're giving in to a prisoner's dilemma where your own goats will be derided in 30 years as complete shitters whose halfcourt% or whatever was a joke
>>151650618>Jontay Porter risked it, because he was riding the benchhe risked it because he had gambling debts to some mob types, and they made him do it to pay them off
>>151650550the ORB tells the truth about who's a beast and who's a small lil scared bitch jordan (guard)1072 games 1668 ORB (1.6 ORB/g)westbrook (guard)1240 games 1979 ORB (1.6 ORB/g)lebum (roided up genetic freak)1562 games 1799 ORB 1.1 ORB/g)

>>151650653Like Westbrook isn’t a genetic freak, but ok how many ORBs did Jordan have?
>>151650649>he had gambling debts to some mob typesYes, his handlers,... because he was riding the bench
>>151650670nigga are you retarded
>>151650618$300,000 is still a lot of money and there's good money to be made beyond the nba. Throwing away all that for chump change that's also super risky is straight up not smart
Back in Jordan’s day jumping like that was seen as witchcraft now it’s mandated you have that athleticism to make the league
>>151650484I've said it before, they're tanking this year because Tatum is out. Once they get a good pick and tatum comes back next year, they'll be good again. Chill bro
>>151650704what accounts for everyone being more athletic now, but also having a higher selection effect of rich aau kids than ever before, with a random genetic freak from the hood more likely than ever before to be passed over because of a lack of development and coaching
>injuries after a summer of load managing Ant and Luka are literally my favorite players to watch. This pisses me off
https://youtu.be/h5X28_CykGwGreat video demolishing and breaking down the Kumingtard narratives. I was supportive of Kumingas effort. But now, after arguing with that other Canadian that REFUSED to engage with my points and just marrativize like he doesnt actually watch basketball. And seeing STILL so many insane Kuminga defenders and glazers (I saw a twitter post where somebody implied Kumingas one 30 point game against the rockets was equivalent to Reaves' 50 ball...because it was against the rockets, forgetting that reaves also almost got a triple double and kuminga would never put up those numbers against the kings anyway)Holy fuck. Kuminga gets treated like hes more important than Curry by this retarded subhuman warriors fanbase 90% of which should be shot by a firing squad.If I didnt know better I would suggest that the exact reason our franchise has been a FAILED BUM DISASTER for the entire 2020s save for 22. Is because of how fucking retarded warriors fans were. I think they were defending and jumping in their seats about Wiseman too before that project revealed what it was.
>>151650754>summer of load managinga what? luka was playing eurobasket a month ago
>>151650690of course. I try to imagine being Jontay: your rich brother mpj is throwing another house party, and he invites you over. You have to see your bro living the dream, in a massive house, filled with drooling lustful bitches that all have no problem listening to Andrew Tate on the internet. You think to yourself: "this could be me, only if I had more money"
>>151650469This picture is just a lie. Or misrepresented. I dont really care which. Both are patently wrong.If Jordan shot all those percentages from behind the arc. He would have been shooting 40% from 3 for the 96-97. Season. He shot 37.4% Even if we say he made a mistake of which season, if you go back one obviously fluke season he shot 42.7% On low volume anyway. On a REDUCED 3 point line, just for him (im being facetious but still)There is something wrong with the fact that stupid people can get access to stats and feign an understanding of something, or an authoritative judgement on something based on those stats even if they dont understand how they work or the methodology. I can trust the NBA's record of stats because they are extensive, always relative, and its a billion dollar product.I am not trusting the random retarded bum from twitter or 4chan.

When I was a kid I used to fall asleep watching west coast games. I didn't care about who was playing, it was just so relaxing.

>>151652234Thats not true at all lol even soccer threads are way slower
>tfw betanon is too embarrassed to continue his picks after starting 3-10
>>151652567Prayers up for betslop, he's currently in the hospital after the bookies broke his legs
>The Nuggets have the league’s biggest differential between the number of rest-disadvantage games (12) and rest-advantage games (8) they have on their schedule this season.league fucking hates us....
>>151652629the hardest road
>>151652629>the league is racistYeah
>>151652629Elevation merchants getting what they deserve finally
>>151652664dw jokic's gonna be taking naps now that we got that big latvian
I think Cam Johnson is going to average the most boring 15ppg ever are Nuggets fans happy with that?
>>151652516Why did the lakers get swept by the T’Wolves just 5 months ago? Luka ain’t having 50 everyday. I’d rather bet on the T’Wolves defense, and I say this as a Lakers fan
>>151652730>5 months agogoogle "what does power ranking mean"
>>151652748These are the niggas you argue with on the internet
>>151652759why are spurs #2 if you're factoring in last season's form with different lineups
His hairline isn't that high
Meal
Jokic-sized Randle
>>151652815I don't like the lack of hair on Jokic's upper arms
>>151652727They better be. They sold their SOVL by trading curious Mike.
>>151652790Looks good, what's that?
>>151652782Because they’re (Spurs) have shown major development between Castle & Wemby. Coaching staff finally seems to have figured out this Spurs team. Young & ascending + undefeated.
>>151652891*they’ve
Hornets are making the playoffs
>>15165272715ppg by making open 3s or boring how
>>151652875steak, fried potatoes, and scrmabled eggs
>>151652788DEAR OH DEAR BAWBS WHAT IS THIS
>>151652923norwood 1
I hope my teammates don't find out that I'm gay.
>>151652891>Young & ascending + undefeated3 games vs nets (30), pelicans (28), incompetent mavs (23). if we can generalize off that I'm going>twolves defense is gone, naw was essential and without him it's no longer the threat it was (27th in the league)
>>151652998Please God, let the feds arrest LeDiddy and clear 60 million of our cap space.
>>151652969they won't find out cuz they already know
>>151652788its over
>>151652790Finally some good meal post from leaf land
>>151652790are you gonna share it with the class?
After the game yesterday, I used my jersey as a cum towel before wiping my asshole of the excess shit and cum from getting fucked so hard by the REFFIES
>>151653210lmfao shit was bad
>>151652910This is the defintion of boring in our league but i dont mean it in a bad wayI just wonder if Cam Johnson averaging 15ppg on somewhat good eficiency is enough for the Nuggies to win it all
praying my celtics lose tonight
why do the leagues script writers hate nugshits so much
>>151652908It's only 3 games, but Hornies have the highest offensive rating as of now
i think the nuggets are going to beat my wolves tonight
Why didn’t anyone tell me Dylan Harper dropped 20/8/6? Niggas player comp is his father, didn’t think he’d be scoring like this
Flagg has 13 more games to drop 30 points and become the youngest ever to score 30 in a game, beating LeBron's record. Y'all think he can do it?
>>151653398i think the nuggets will continue to play like shit against the twolves
Giannis needs to get out of Milwaukee asap
>>151653462those were the nuggets of old, these are the nu-ggetsand the wolves are without anthony edwards and everyone except randle seems to be washed up at the moment
>>151653464Fuck that keep his bitch ass on the bucks, if he leaves hes doing some bitch shit like joining the thunder or spurs
>>151653444Ron Harper was a good scorer before he blew his knee out
>>151653464thats true but i gotta admit the bucks been fun to watch so far
Imagine prime Wemby
Let's talk about my Spurs :)
>>151653531hes like 7'6 now but theres no way this nigga is gonna beef up 50lbs of muscle in his prime
>>151653561Lets talk the elephant in the room DeAndre Fox
>>151653561If they somehow luck into another top draft pick I am done with the NBA
>>151653531That "prime" wemby would be out of the league by 27
>>151653574He's a fox not an elephant
>>151653577Again, it's only 3 games, but they have the highest defensive and net rating, so they might accidentally slip into the playins or 8th seed if they get lucky
>>151653561spurs should draft this guy just for shits and giggles
This week mondadan was great
>>151653561they gonna bully my rapshits
>>151653684The thing is with that motherfucker so tall there’s no way he can move his feet on defense, would like to see him in some garbage time lineups though with Kornet
>>151653755Why does every tranime opening have tiktok dances now?
>>151653480nuggets can throw to anything in a wolves jersey, don't give up hope
some good games tonight. i think i'll tune into cavs @ pistons, which could very well be an eastern conference finals preview. i might also put magic @ 76ers on in the background, as that could be very much an eastern conference finals previewthen i'm also going to put my 2nd screen on hawks @ bulls, a game that could very well be an eastern conference finals preview
>>151653792>eastern conference finals previewStop it
>>151653480they got season swept by the wizzies, so its still possible
>>151653775Because tik tok users is where the money is at
>>151653805I meant that for Bulls/Hawks specifically
Stream bros, got a link?
If you don’t like this you don’t like basketball
>>151653964Is Kon actually good? After Reed I got second thoughts about wybois
>>151653973not being a manlet is everything
>>151653861Fuck her for me 15!
>>151653973he is looking like a good high floor low ceiling player
>The Pacers plan to waive center James Wiseman to create roster space for Mac McClung, who will sign a non-guaranteed multiyear deal, sources said
>>151654016it's over....
>>151654016Him and Obi doing mid game dunk contests should make the tank less miserable
>>151653861>6'5>millionaire>leader of the NBA's glamor franchise>fucking hot babes every night>full head of hairIf I'm AR, I envy no many on this planet.
>>151654016>>151654030The pick that killed a dynasty. They wanted Haliburton too, but didn't pick him.
>>151654016If you can't make 3rd string center for the fucking Pacers who just like Myles Turner, you are an unserious basketball player. Nigga just didn't even try and collected his checks.
>>151653684>Rioux only has an 11 inch vertical and can barely move, let alone dribble a ball with stability up a court>Wemby moves like a fluid pg and has a vertical of 40"one of these is not like the other
New>>151654083>>151654083
Should I watch Cavs/Pistons or Magic/Sixers
>>151653964I wouldn't like it if my team lost out on the draft lottery
>>151654094Sixers because Edgecum
>>151653861I know the thread is dead but I am just gonna say it anyway: Life is not fair at all
