Let me tell you about a potential top 20 player who got ruined by injured and was called Grant Hill
I need Wemby's pussy in my bbc
Is this fair? Dirk Nowitzki is a top 20 all time player.
Kings' Coach shoulda tell him that he's up against Jokic's Serbia last night
>>151926587He's just trying to play so badly that they can't trade him at the deadline. This is a slave revolt.
Belt to ass for the BAWBros today
>>151926554funny thing is that I had that poster when I was a kid but the Dr. J one is my favorite
I thought Nico was a 500IQ geniusWhat happened bros
>>151926607OK Patrick DumontYou can blame Marc Cuban for hiring him in the first place
Every day I'm thinking about how the Celtics picked up Chris Boucher instead of Ben Simmons and now Celtics don't have any real playmakers so Derrick White and Payton Pritchard both out there looking like garbage half the time.The C's could have had a 6'10 defender that can handle the ball and set up three point shooters but we just have Boucher doing absolutely nothing because he can shoot threes.What's the point of that?Tatum and Horford were the best passers on the team.Ben Simmons was an actual team need.
Happy birthday, Westking!
>>151926614They should be trying to lose anyway
>>151926583They had to play Portland, Lakers, Thunder and Heat to win the championship. That has to be one of the most difficult playoff runs of all time.
>>151926648They aren't bad enough to automatically get a top pick.They should be trying to win.
>>151926695It's more likely that they get a valuable pick after tanking than don't tank and somehow win a ring this year
>>151926695They *are* trying to win. They just suck.
>>151926604J looks silly here lol I get the vision but it just looks funny
>>151926712They suck because they are second to last in the league in assists.They suck because they don't have a playmaker. Because they are using their best shooters to pass to other people.And no one can set them up, so they are shooting like garbage.When they should have Ben Simmons passing to their best shooters.
>>151926735They can't get points off assists because they don't have anyone who can draw two defenders. Ben Simmons isn't changing that.
Never noticed before that Taurean Prince is literally Yakub

>>151926755Taurean KING
>>151926735>>151926614Simmons was shook bum who couldn't shoot free-throws four years ago and now he's a washed-up shook bum who can't do anything and is out of the league.
>>151926607he's getting hired by the Lakers to replace Pelinka
Is Simmons even looking for a spot? His agent quit
>>151926554gervin sucked, just a useless ball hog chucker, never won shit

Who you got for tonight's game?
>>151927745>Who you got for tonight's game?
>>151927745Luka drops 30+ and Lakers probably lose unless the roleplayers really show up
>>151927559>>Greg Oden (probably wouldn’t have survived the 3 point era)I've never really understood what was so amazing about Greg Oden. I wasn't around at the time but looking at his college profile it doesn't seem that extraordinary. I know hindsight helps but KD was clearly better right?
>>151926755See lots of Swedish features
>>151927843Yeah, Oden wasn't ever that good. I think people were so enraptured with LeBron's early success, and even Dwight Howard to a degree, he was seen as a guy on their level who was NBA ready and being held back by being forced to go to college. I remember watching that Ohio team and thinking that Connelly was better. But as someone who was around, I can confirm there was huge Oden hype. KD, I saw for the first time in the NCAA tournament and I remember saying to my friend as we were watching the game, "This guy will end his career as the NBA all time leading scorer. " Beasley was a bad ass in college too.
>>151927843The combination of size + athleticism + shot blocking + post technique was still considered a franchise player prospect at that time. Remember that Shaw was an All-star in the 06-07 season.
>>151927931Today I learned that Conley and Oden were on the same college team
>>151927960Conley's dad was also Oden's agent. They grew up together as best friends. A condition for recruiting Oden in college was you had to take Conley too or Oden would not play for you.

>>151926163This nigga...knows ball goddamn cooked that Aussie
why did the timberwolves gamble 2 1sts on 160 pound dillingham at the peak of their window
>>151928094it's a bunch of bullshit said by somebody who very clearly didn't watch either game, particularly how the suns statpadding those last dozen points for Booker. There's a reason nobody usually reads the nonsense he types
>>151928088>SAC : Russell WestbrookBe serious. He might be the best-value contract on their roster but I'm still pretty sure he's not the best player on the Kangz in terms of total value.
Rockets low key ass
>>151926987No. He just plays in the weakest era for centers ever, and 9/10 nights he never actually has a team's best defender guarding him. Zubac, who wouldn't even be a top 20 center in the 90s, was able to lock him up quite effectively, so just imagine if he was getting guarded by a prime Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard, David Robinson, or Hakeem.
>>151928143He means performance this season
Russel Westbrook is the #2 best point guard of all time
Chris Paul peaked higher than Curry. Only those with a deep understanding of the game will agree with me.
>>151928088are you the same guy every time or is this a template?
>>151927745>Reaves back>dort and Wiggins backThunder by 15
>>151928141>how the suns statpadding those last dozen points for Booker.Lol what? Look at the ridiculous shit some of you say. "The Suns stat padded for him" Lmao stat padded how? By passing him the ball? What are you? Fucking retarded? And you can't even pull a weird deranged "The Celtics were letting him score!!" Bullshit because Booker scored over half of his teams points and still lost kek. Also how is "the suns STAT PADDED FOR HIM" a valid retort here but "THE MAVS STAT PADDED FOR LUKA!" not? Kek retard, justify yourself immediately. How did the suns stat pad for booker.
>>151928147Good thing at least at least half the centers from the 90's would be unplayable today and the a further 40% would be role players/backups.
>>151928230how about you watch the damn game so you don't have to ask dumbass questions with obvious answers. Nobody respected that shameless shit which is why it's forgotten by everybody except boxscore reading newfags. This place also laughed at that shit
>>151928244And yet the elite of the elite would all still be just as dominant and transferable today as they were then. Fucking Rudy Gobert is considered a top-tier center in today's game.
>>151928194And it lasted what, 20 good seconds?
>>151928266>keeps alluding to some mysterious grand travesty>keeps trying to imply that one didnt watch the game and thats why i dont understand the grand travesty>when it could just be that i dont see the problemlol really weaselling your way out of having to justify how this applies to the suns but not the mavs with luka lol, or what the problem even is, lol retard.

>>151928404>caningOf course it's a Brutish Empire practice
feels hard to picture the thunder not repeating this year
>>151928286>Rudy Gobert is considered a top-tier center in today's gameI'm not sure that's true anymore. But when he was, it was because he could stuff smaller dudes around the rim so effectively. Jokic's game isn't about out-playing other elite post players around the rim, it's about abusing the fact that he can force teams to double or play an under-skilled rim-protecting specialists that Jokic can then pass around. If they played today, elite centers from the 90's would have to solve similar problems that Rudy has with teams moving him away from the paint on defense & Wemby has with passing out of double-teams.
>>151926653>he got lucky onceand then never made it out of the first round ever againlebum was just too heavy for wade to carry that year

Why does the NBA not work in the south when it's the majority black area of the country? Charlotte, Memphis, NO, Orlando, Atlanta all need to move. Probably find more success in a place like Montana or Calgary than in the American South. Shit, move on south of the border to Mejico City.

I don't like podz but the warriors at this point are a cult that exists to suck the cock of Steph Curry and sacrifice every rookie they get at his altar. Such a "nice guy" creates this environment for his players, really makes you think
>>151929313based beal
>>151929320Sun sisters, we dodged a bullet
>>151929418steven curry is the cult's god but gaymond is the cult leader
>>151929384of course.
>>151929418most people just don't like to see blatant delusion. Podz never had the makings of anything more than bench spark guy, maybe later career starter. Not being self aware enough to not compare himself with an alltime great top 10 player rubs people the wrong way. I'm not even a warriors fan and I'm rolling my eyes
>Vardon] Multiple league sources said Davis has tried to convince the Mavs to let him return to the court, and Harrison urged him to return, but the team’s medical staff forbade it, citing the potential for a torn Achilles if Davis returned too soon.>Zach Lowe believes the LA Clippers could acquire Anthony Davis in a trade built around John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, one of Brook Lopez or Derrick Jones Jr, and “at least one pick”: “I’m prepping Dallas fans, I don’t know if you’re getting 3 unprotected firsts plus this pu pu platter of players.”At least ownership knows it's better to trade a guy when he has hope of getting healthy on someone else's dime.
>>151929505Gayboon is his biggest fanatic and causes this shitty culture, and Curcuck allows it because he approves. This is why I always say Curry is the real reason KD was pushed out, and all those rookies got scalped>>151929535Not the point it's all their rookies who are being treated like his, god forbid someone has aspirations
>>151929418Podz aiming high and having real self confidence is why he's the only recent draft pick of theirs to work out.
>>151929320Where does Bradley Beal rank on the all-time GOAT scam artist list? I put him just below Ben Simmons.
>>151929418shut the fuck up bum, this isnt currys fault. i cannot believe kumingtard keeps getting away with blame because literal unironic retards who dont watch basketball look at his numbers and go "wow durr im a wetard dat looks like a lot of point durrrr" I already went indepth about this yesterday, it makes zero sense to go after podz unless you're trying to create narratives to PROTEXT A CERTAIN GARBAGE PLAYER. Seriously. If Kuminga does not get traded by February I am quitting on this team. I dont care anymore, Curry already washed, has the most asteriks on his career of any top 10 player all time, also a top 3 peak of all time, but his peak was KILLED by teaming up with durant which makes too much of his impact conditional even if he was better than Durcant. And this team has wasted away so many opportunities in the 2020s that I just dont want to believe in their bullshit anymore if they do anything to protect kumingtard.
>>151929570Kirk Cousins-tier generational bag-getter
>>151929570rank 1he was the running mate of a fraud in john wall and yet he remains in the league, and is making fat stacks while wall is out
>>151929546>Luka Doncic got traded for John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, one of Brook Lopez and Max Christie
>>151929570Even Sosho bowed out after getting that OG bag. Beal scammed a franchise for like half a decade and then tried to parley it into a real role with playoff teams.
>>151929570He has a no-trade clause, which means he can extract new concessions every time a team gets buyer's remorse.
>>151929578>THIS time it's actually the developing players fault!!!Remember: you could have had Lauri, but Curry through Gayboon runs the show and ran it in the ground. I will never forget Kerr shaming his rookies for not passing to Steph, speaks volumes
Just looked at the clippers roster and my God it's a retirement home
>>151929313>>151929320Wall and Beal are just hilarious. The most blatantly foreseeable DO NOT SIGN WILL NEVER PLAY AGAIN guys coming out of Washington and both managed to get a gorillion dollars anyway. Christ, I didn't even know Wall ended up being the responsibility of the Clippers in the end too. They really are THE place to go in the league for free money, both over and under the table
