>>155349642Asking again in this threadI don't watch sports media. Why were people saying Wemby is guaranteed to be the next NBA legend?He's only been in the league like 3 years right? And this was his first play off run? Why do people praise him so much?
>>155349708Because of his size, that's it. The spuds still prefer to play him closer to the perimeter instead of the paint and players a foot shorter than him have no problem shooting it in his face.
>>155349708ROTY 2024All-NBA 2026DPOY 2026first finals at 22you don't think that's an impressive resume 3 years in?
>>155349708Because they’re dumb
>>155349708Height.Length.manoeuvrabilityHe's not a big dope he's actually clean with the ball and is already nearly making half court shots easily, He's tall as shit so he makes defending and blocking look like a piece of piss.His stamina in the 2nd half looks like his only weakness so far, You can clearly see him struggling as you get to the 4th Q.
>>155349708he's handsome for a nog so he gets the halo.

>>155349970oh, he also has the boring ass media friendly lebron personality so that helps. Shai is zesty, dresses like a thug, and he looks like a racist caricature from a 1920s disney cartoon so he never had a chance.
>>155349708His skillset is inherently consistent and conducive to playing with other stars because he can be an MVP level player without having to handle the ball and doesn’t really need to rely on shotmaking
SON OF A BITCH
>>155349642How is Josh Hart so fucking hot now
>>155350107>Silver tries making ANT into the next face of the leagueNever happened.
>>155350107>silver is rigging it for the thunder>uhm, I actually meant Silver is rigging it for Wemby >Yeah, I know the Knicks are up 3-1, but Silver is rigging it for seven game series >of course none of my rigging predictions came true >Silver can't make it obvious it's rigged, and that's why none of my rigging claims pan out>now listen to my latest unfounded rigging accusations
>>155350196silver obviously rigged it for the thunder and when he saw all the backlash he tried to rig it for the spurs and then when he saw all the backlash and wemby literally sperging out thugging everyone he had to back off once again. dude cant pick gold from shit.
>>155350107why does the league need a "face" anyway
>>155350185He did and then his baby mama and "these niccas different" shit came out and he got dropped fast as fuck
>>155350206Money
>>155350211them niccas really were queer though
We have our face of the league, by the way. We're getting Kessler, and signing him and AR on on descending contracts to get the most efficient cap space spending possible. Stay tuned and get your popcorn ready.
>>155350206Good way to draw casuals into the NBA.>Woah this dude is amazing I want to see him play even if I don't watch basketball.Kinda like the Messi or Ohtani effect.
>>155350244I don't know if wemby is ever going to be that guy then
>>155350234kek what a fucking retard
for me it's Marlboro reds
>>155350256Take a good look troonjeet
>Draymond Green on Spurs walking off the court: “If you leave the court and you don't look me in my face and I just beat you, I actually know that I own you forever.”Spurs are becoming more hated than OKC lel.
>>155350282Why do I have to share the same country with these faggots?
>>155350244ohtani actually is an all time great.
>>15535019690% of thunder hate is because shai and chet are uggos.
>>155350338>>155349970who the fuck is this guy who insists on assessing basketball players based on how attracted he is to them
>>155350359the bp is never wrong.
>>155350300didn't Klay and most of the warriors walk off the court without shaking hands in 2016
>>155350380
>>155350502cant wait for this guy to be broke in 10 years.
Becky Hammon locked her social media and that’s fine but my question is can a nigga Trae Young’s size lead a team to a title
>>155350107Jalen Brunson>achieved godhood in the biggest market in the league>playoff riser >clutchest MF in the league>ugly but in an endearing way that can be marketed
....
>>155349708As much as I hate him, it's because he's really fucking goodAt 22 years old in his 3rd season he's already dropping an efficient 25/11/3 while being the best rim protector in the league, finishing 3rd in MVP voting, getting a near unanimous All-NBA 1st selection and going to the Finals on this core's first playoff attemptAnd the expectation is that with Spurs having a great young core around him they'll be in constant title contention for the next decade
Apparently Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing are no longer friends/not on speaking terms, Oakley wasn’t a part of the floor celebration in San Antonio when the Knicks won either https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/charles-oakley-says-friendship-coward-220613793.html
>>155350919>boomer no longer friend with boomerwhy should I care
>>155350919>Patrick Pooing
>>155350919Doesn't matter, New York will only remember Brunson's Knicks and not these boomers
No one talks about Himmy Buckets anymore....
Kobe doesn't get enough disrespect when it comes to building teams.
>>155351292Go to bed, LeBum
I need Wemby's pussy in my bbc
It’s funny how Lebrons 4 championships in 23 years is a failure but the Knicks 1 championship in the last 53 years is an amazing accomplishment
How does he feel about the result of the finals?
>>155351978A huge sigh of relief that his performance will be forgotten. And he's probably less scared of Wemby now
>>155351978He better not say anything at all
What is the league going to do about Wendy/Femby genuinely being a dirty player and trying to injure guys? If anything at all
>TERRIFIED of having the ball in the biggest momentsImmediate disqualification from the "best player alive" conversation
>>155352158KWAB horrible offense in the clutch
>>155351663Swing and a miss
I think it's a testament to Hakeem that nobody has ever made fun of the rockets for not drafting Michael Jordan. If the Cavs took Carmelo Anthony, they would be railed for generations.
Victim Wembanyama
Wendy
You know what, I'm going to say it. If Jordan never went to baseball, his balls would have lost to the rockets in either 94 or 95. Maybe even both years. If it is a damn thing we got robbed of this matchup
>>155352632In 1994 Rockets, Knicks and Jordan-less Bulls were pretty much equal - all three won 55-58 games and played very close 7 game series against each otherAdd Jordan and I think the Bulls beat both in 6
>>155350919You must be a bandwagoner, this was common knowledge for years and not unexpected. Oakley was banned from MSG like a decade ago after he tried to fight security guards who came to remove him for no reason (the reason was that he was sitting where TV cameras could see him and he had recently criticized James Dolan). That's why he was only at the game in San Antonio, and why Dolan wouldn't give him credentials to be part of the victory celebration. Oakley was also mad that Patrick didn't come back him up against the security guards, because apparently playing with a guy 20 years ago means you should help him commit assault.Adam Silver claimed before the Finals that he and Michael Jordan had tried to broker peace between Oak and Dolan but it sounds like Oakley is the one unwilling to apologize/move on; when asked about it he said Silver was a liar and it was all bullshit.On a separate occasion, Oakley appeared on a podcast, or maybe an interview, a few years ago where he shit all over Patrick Ewing without any provocation whatsoever. He called him a soft loser, and made him out as an egomaniac, saying the reason the Knicks couldn't win was because he demanded the ball go through him. And also It's true that Ewing alone wasn't enough offense for the team to win but it was players like Oakley who could barely hit a jumpshot that made it all Patrick's burden.
>>155352785I think it will be a tossup in 94. But in 95 I don't think the bulls can beat Houston. Especially after losing Horace Grant, there's just nobody that would be able to approach Hakeem at the level that drexler could approach Jordan (and even then that's not great for Clyde)
>>155351674Based
>>155352966The discourse on the Oakley thing is pure silliness coming from people with rose-tinted glasses who want to remember him as a feature on those 90's teams rather than a bitter asshole who has burned all his bridges. Dude was on camera trying to fight security guards. Eyewitnesses say he was belligerent. Dolan says he was drunk, and you can't trust Dolan, but most people who have interacted with Oakley wouldn't be surprised if it was true. Hopefully now that the Knicks have a recent ring they can stop venerating the guy.

>>155353079Yeah, I think with the ring and all our demons being exorcized people will finally let go of those 90s teams. Not forget them, it was a great era of tough basketball, but a lot of the role players who've been held up by uncs as all-time greats will be evaluated more fairly. Oakley in particular has always been an asshole and yet in the darkest days you had people insisting that they should retire his number. He was integral to the '94 defensive juggernaut, but he also believed he was better than he was and would take stupid shots just because. Patrick is one of the greatest basketball players ever, Oakley was an elite role player at best.Basically the only 90s Knicks that are validly praised are Ewing, Starks, Mason, Sprewell and Houston.
what is she thinking right now
>>155353432>Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?
>>155353432Why the hell is this nun such a baddie
Its uphttps://nbarankings.theringer.com/
>>155353583>Luka and Brunson above Ant.
>>155353583jokic has been in the league for 11 years???
>>155353634Same draft class as embiid and wiggins
>>155353621>both above Giannmickey
>>155353621Completely accurate ranking. Wendy and SGAy have no place being 1st and 2nd. Jokic fully cleared SGAy during the reg. Wendy is a choke artist. Absolute finals fraud.
>>155353729>Jokic fully cleared SGAy during the regChokic got swept and outplayed every game they had against each other, even when half of OKC was missing dumbass BAWB

Don't reply to me fuckass jamboy.
>>155348247>Alien? Earthling.Cold asf
>>155353583lol @ Harden even being on the list after disappearing in the playoffs year after year
He wins a ring in 2019 or 2021 if the 76ers were remotely competent org... It's a damn shame the damage guys like Colangelo and Brett Brown did in such a short time
>>155353432WHy are nuns attending a basketball game? I'm not catholic but I am Orthodox and a monk, male or female, would never attend such an event. They have sworn off 'the world', and attending a basketball game is about the most worldly thing you could do.
>>155353765>Guy who just returned from an achilles injury is somehow ranked higher than the guy who balled out the entire seasonI'd be punching air if I were JB
>>155353842dont worry anon next season he will win a chip i promise
>>155353888Nah, we are officially cursed by a pedophile owner. The only way Embiid wins is if he's traded
(You) are not ready for year 2 Egor Vladimirovich Demin
>>155353743>using regular season head to head to compare players
>>155354002He beat and outplayed last year in the playoffs too
Anyone else hope that Lebron goes to the warriors so he fails again despite teaming up with the guy that smacked his booty
Statistically, the Spurs were the better team. Knicks got lucky. Enjoy your false chip.
>>155354101They were about as good as each other in that series, just like in this playoffs if you exclude the Suns series>beatbetter teammates award
>>155354162I've seen this before....
Timberwolves fans watched >KG>Love>Wiggins>Townsall traded and won a chip elsewhere. Got to be one of the most punished fanbase :)
>>155350196You're just pointing out the fact we can all tell something is happening behind the scenes but they obfuscate it so much that we can't tell exactly what. We can't see their plan but we know it's there.
It's habbening....
>>155354653so which poor fanbase has to deal with jaylen brown now?
Knickucks, explain yourselves. How is it that one Spursbro in a Rodman jersey is worth 500 of you pussies?
>>155353583>#19: Jamal Murray
>>155354674I hope it's the Clippers.
>>155354709Dont think they have a package for the buckos im afraid
>>155354653>literal who>ibs habbening
nig vs nog
>>155354653If Tatum and Giannis stay healthy, I might have a cheeky bet on the Celtics winning the chip.
>>155355022>literal who>it's actually someone who forged a lot of connections in his life!
>>155355057tatum is probably the best fit with giannis out of every star
>>155355070Literally the John Silver of the NBA
yannis only played like less than half a season for the past 3 years and the celtics are a memechuck teamhow the fuck would their team workeither mazzula also gets fired
>>155355148Giannis will run and dunk. Everybody else will get open shots.
>>155355148Giannis has gravity and gets a load of offensive rebounds/putbacks, it's perfect for memechucking
