And even if that wasn't coward logic, it still only makes sense if you're actually making the shots. If you're taking the "easy" shots and still missing them that doesn't bode well. a 3 is only worth more than a 2 if it goes in

>>155018081
>Mitch has been trying to follow the analytics train off a cliff
I think its just that he realized that the finals is a marathon and that they can probably out-talent the knicks and preserve his legs.
NY started feasting when Wemby was sitting, so the plan is to let wemby jack up 3s, and hope Wemby being able to stay on the court longer can affect the knicks on the other end enough for the other Spurs to provide whatever firepower Wemby can't, and if Wemby gets hot from outside, then its all the better.

does Wemby really have the potential to be the greatest ever?

No
he’s big and akward and doesn’t play under the rim as much as he should to be dominate.

Dolan is a retard and not savvy enough to gain favor through backroom negotiations like Jerry Buss or Clay Bennett.

They would honestly prefer he didn't succeed because what they really want is for him to sell the team because it would be even bigger than the Lakers sale and then they wouldn't have an embarrassing dumbass nepobabby in charge of a marquee franchise. The league office won't actively get in the way of the Knicks succeeding if it happens organically because it's not really bad for business but they don't like Dolan enough to give him any extra help.

>His book only talked about the ref's betting ring
So even if you give the league office the benefit of the doubt, the most generous interpretation of this is that referees were illegally colluding with organized crime and manufacturing outcomes and the NBA just....didn't notice? For years? Wow, that Donaghy sure was a fuckin' smooth criminal. Or, you know, maybe it wasn't apparent because refs awarding arbitrary free throws and fouling people out to hit over/unders didn't look any different than normal games. And regardless of what you believe there is no fucking excuse for continuing to employ a convicted felon's best buddy. Anyone who was anywhere near that scandal should have been fired into the sun just to avoid the appearance of impropriety but the league kept Foster around anyway. And he continues being an infamously bad ref. Where there's smoke, there's fire.

You know who was aggressive and drove every possession? Shaq. And again, teams routinely fouled him ON PURPOSE and he still didn't get as many free throws as Jordan did that year.

Yeah it is, and LeBron has had the most help, the weakest conferences to pad his resume and still only won 40% of his finals games . He’s had super teams he couldn’t even get into the playoffs.
It’s a team sport, but the least team oriented of the North American big 4. No other sport allows a single player to change the outcome of games as much as basketball.

>Which is why he let Dirk embarrass Lebron and the Heat
He had to let that happen because it was only a few years after the Donaghy bombshell and another blatantly fraudulent series involving the same teams as before would have been a step too far even for the NBA. Not to mention Cuban was openly screeching about rigging the last time so if it happened again he was going to go nuclear. They owed him one and they knew it.

Also, the Heatles thing backfired and they became villains so the league wasn't entirely unhappy with them getting their comeuppance. Similar to what just happened with OKC

>Tanking that worked out is the same thing as a completely rigged League
It's one of the things that happens in a completely rigged league, yes. Are you really going to accept the lottery as totally legit after the Mavs just won with a 1.8 percent chance and the Spurs not only pulled Duncan 2.0 but got three consecutive top five picks? Pull your head out of your ass.
>it wasn't very fucking effective
According to who? If he kept doing it, it was because there was money to be made.
>Dez caught it
I kind of agree but the catch rules have fucked a lot of people and still aren't quite sorted out, it wasn't targeted
>Eli draft
What the fuck are you even talking about, the NFL draft order is fixed, there's no lottery to rig. Eli got drafted by the Chargers, Him forcing a trade was just a matter of leverage and not the first time a top prospect has refused to report to a shitty team. Bo Jackson and Elway did it too
>Tuck Rule
Yeah the NFL fucking hated Al Davis even more than the NBA hated Cuban, this one is legitimately cheesy. Pretty funny if you're not a Radiers fan though

People would foul Jordan if they got beat and didn't want to give up a dunk but they never just fouled him intentionally before he even attempted a shot like with Shaq.

And how is this even a controversial statement? Are you guys really going to tell me that MICHAEL FUCKING JORDAN, the most shilled athlete of all time whose brand was bigger than the sport, did not receive any favorable officiating, ever? Really?

Man, LeBron's blatant ring chasing and not even succeeding well enough at it absolutely murders his legacy. When KD ring chased he at least won every year. They would have 3-peated had he not gotten hurt. Shit they probably woulda won in 2019 if Thompson alone was healthy. They were 1 Steph Curry missed 3 away from sending it to 7 games with no Thompson and no Durant.
The problem with ring chasing is that anything short of a ring is an absolutely horrendous failure. It's a pathetic, disgraceful failure to ring chase and NOT get a ring every year you're there. At least KD has the injury excuse.

>>155019636
>but they never just fouled him intentionally before he even attempted a shot like with Shaq
The Hack-a-Shaq wasn't so prevalent that they just fouled him every single possession. Usually it was down the stretch when time was becoming a factor. You don't hack even the worst free throw shooters all game long.

But everyone did realize what was going on. NBA officiating being shady as fuck had been a topic for a long time and pretty much everyone who wasn't a navie retard knew it wasn't objective. All him being arrested did was confirm what we all suspected.
>the league not enforcing its draft order
No one broke any rules. Any draftee can refuse to report if they don't want to, it's just that most of them don't have the leverage or any real reason to. it's the Chargers' own damn fault for being so fucking terrible, there's a reason this doesn't happen frequently. And they got Phil Rivers and multiple draft picks out of it anyway so they got the franchise qb they wanted and then some. They agreed to the trade because it was a good trade.
>kill yourself
Suicide is a mortal sin. We must endure suffering to be redeemed by it
>So whats your explanation?
Maybe a ref had some personal beef. Maybe they just fucked up and didn't want to admit it. All I know for sure is if they league actually wanted the Cowboys to succeed they've had lots of chances to help them out and didn't take it so a random game against Detroit seems a weird time so suddenly become biased for one play and then resume not caring. It was an embarrassing call though, no excuse for it

Yeah but I'm just saying that even if you only hack a guy intentionally *some* of the time, that's probably going to result in him getting an inordinate amount of total free throws, because you're still going to be fouling him during regular play, too. So somebody getting even more free throws than that just as result of normal play is getting a lot of fucking free throws.

Which he did. I still don't understand how "referees were pretty generous with foul calls for Michael Jordan" is a debatable statement.

You realize that's picture of him being fouled during a dunk attempt, aka exactly what I said?

Also the blatant starfucking didn't really begin until after he got heemed by the Pistons twice because the league decided they were tired of their golden boy not making the finals. Go back to my original post >>155018483, I said post-1989 for a reason

>>155019965
Bird shot virtually the same career fg%, murders Jordan at the ft line and the 3 pt line, was a better rebounder and interior defender than Jordan, has a higher career defensive rating than Jordan, was a better passer and post feeder than Jordan, and was a superior playmaker and the more accomplished trash talker than Jordan.

Larry Bird led the league in defensive win shares 4 times, compared to MJ's zero. Bird led the postseason in most defensive rebounds 3 times and total rebounding twice, compared to MJ's zero. Bird is ranked 76 for all-time career defensive rating while MJ is only ranked at 138. MJ's Defensive Player of the Year award was overrated, he won that when the number of quality shooting guards in the league was pure bullshit.

Bird competed during the most stacked era of talented small forwards in the history of the NBA and he schooled virtually all of them. Bird finished top 10 in the league in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks at least once, which MJ never accomplished. Bird won the three point contest 3 times, led the league in free throw percentage 4 times, and is the first player to hit the 50-40-90 mark (fg%, 3p%, ft%) and doing it twice. MJ is nowhere near the basketball player Bird was. When Bird said "that's God disguised as Michael Jordan" that was after MJ scored 63 points against Boston. And what happened in their next match? MJ scored only 19 points, fouled out, and got swept. Bird never called MJ "God" ever again after that.

Larry Bird also locked horns with a crapload of legendary forwards at his position throughout the 80s, the most stacked era for transition forwards than any other time in NBA history: Erving, Worthy, Dantley, Wilkins, English, Aguirre, Wilkes, Pippen, Vandeweghe, King, Johnson, Gervin, English, etc. MJ's shooting guard competition does not even come close.
