>>157126873if this finals matchup happnes, it would be because of paul george. all roads lead to paul george.
>all this to try to prevent a knicks repeat
>>157126916both of those teams have the same chance of getting to the finals as sacramento
>>157126896youve reminded meive watched 5 movies in theaters since summer of last year, every time i told myself id take a girl with me to see one. every single time, ive gone aloneseeing spider man next week alone. seeing doomsday, hopefully i will take a girl out for that one
>>157126873>LeBron James just took the biggest pay cut in NBA history>James went from making $52.63 million in his final season with the Los Angeles Lakers, 2025-26, to earning just $3.88 million this upcoming season in Philadelphia, for a pay cut of $48.75 million
>>157126930The Knicks are done without mitch
>>157126952taking a fucking chatterbox to ruin your viewing experience>capeshitnever mind
>>157126930Imagine if he actually joins knicks. Suns are ass anyway might as well move, he probably didn't even like it there anyway
>>157126969lakeshit fans will call this a slap in the face to them btw. glad my goat is off that shitty ass org.
Steph Curry is one of the few, if not the ONLY superstar to show loyalty and restraint in his decision making. Yet people on here routinely drag his name through the mud.Why?
>>157126998Envy
>>157126979i see super hero movies in theaters cause it makes me feel like im in high school again
>>157126998people still have ptsd from 2015-19. 2017 and 2018 the warriors made the NBA unwatchable for many
I simultaneously post about how shit the sixers are and that Lebron is a bum for joining a superteam
A month ago, LeBron James and Joel Embiid met privately in Los Angeles for nearly two hours.LeBron asked Embiid directly about his health heading into the offseason and whether this would be another injury-plagued year. Embiid told him it was the first summer of his career without any surgeries and that he was fully healthy and locked in. That conversation stayed with LeBron.Weeks later, Sixers GM Mike Gansey publicly confirmed Embiid’s status during a press conference:“He has been putting in the work, up 15lbs of pure muscle. Now he’s around 295lbs but 13% body fat. We’re hoping it helps him stay healthy and dominate once again in the paint. He will take it up another level.”Gansey also noted it was the first offseason Embiid was truly healthy going into it and that he was in a “really good space.”Once Embiid’s health checked out, the combination of Embiid, Maxey, Jaylen Brown, and Edgecombe became the clearest option for a final championship run.(Via @ShamsCharania)
>>157127020Lol ironic since those are some of the most iconic and memorable moments in nba history while nba is dull and boring now with few iconic moments. Even viewership numbers show that
>>157127020basketball literally peaked in 2015-19. they should be thankful. was very fun to watch klay, curry and later KD chop up teams like bacon and eggs.
Denver restricted free agent Spencer Jones has agreed to a two-year, $12 million offer sheet with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Adam Godes of ADS Sports tells ESPN. Jones was a key contributor for the Nuggets last season, including an NBA-best 69% from 3-point range during the playoffs, and now is ready to conclude chapter in Denver to move onto OKC.Jokic still staying with these losers?
Emsneed.
>>157127084>Jokic still staying with these losers?yes. superstar euros stick to one team. no matter how shit they are.
>>157127105Is that why Giannis isn’t on the Bucks?
>>157126873>darkskin starting 5nba is healing. days of the bawb and lightskin faggot are over.
>>157127117giannis isnt european, hes nigerian.
>>157127119That’s how I felt sick of crackers and faggot light skin players
>>157127119AVRA
>>157127119i dont think philly had a white player on the roster last year, they only have dean wade this year. they also traded the zesty lightskin for nothing.
>>157126899Y’all traded all your thick solid tight girthy darkskins and you think you can with this undersized squad hell no
It's pretty funny LeBron crippled the lakers with his salary then took a pay cut for the sixers. Get fucked LA
>>157126992Notice how we (Real Laker fans) celebrated this. We are happy to move on! This was one of the best Lakers offseason in recent memory, so we’ve got happiness and independence in our hearts. It’s like escaping an abusive relationship. Why does /Laker Nation/ get you so pissed off though?? You sound like you’re full of resentment
>>157127171>You sound like you’re full of resentmentwhen lebron gets ring #5 in june, while luka gets bounced by the 5 seed rockets in round one, we will see whos "full of resentment"
>>157127164we got Jaden and Rudy we be aight.If not we'll just outscore you lolz
>>157126998Even as a Lakers fan he’s one of my all-time favorites but he gets the short end of debates with all-time greats because his defense.
>>157127119Darkskins are 10 times better than light skin devils
Yall sleeping on my Hawkies
>>157127119Based as fuck
>>157127119Now this is going to be fun
Is it actually possible for the Sixies to get Draymond?
Understanding LeBron becomes really easy when you realize ; >Only Child Syndrome >Absentee Father That’s why he’s so self interested and has no loyalty
>>157127296>no loyaltyHe's been with one woman.
>>157127264Draymond declined his player option and did all that dick riding for nothing lol
>>157127296There’s no such thing as loyalty in the NBA, it’s a business run by jews
>>157127311There’s no way you actually believe that
>Injure Jokic>Join the enemy and betray Denver
Lebron will look like Ronaldo in the World Cup. I don’t care what kind of roids he takes and what kind of specimen he is. He’s gonna learn the hard way. Embiid is also washed. There is not much Maxey, Jaylen Brown and refball can do. It will be soon six months since the rockets, let me see Ronaldo try and dunk again.
>>157127320Probably had a handshake agreement to get that money back if LeBron didn't sign
>>157126969what they won't tell you is that this is the most money he was offered
>>157127311anon...
>>157127495This nobody wanted him to pay more anyway. He didn't take any cut. Lakers wanted to get rid of him anyway he just made a parade out of it saying he left by himself when we all know they wanted him out anyway
>>157127352>>157127496Prove me wrong
>>157127547>
Kobe Bryant is a rapist
>>157127617I said one woman, Diddy would lead to men
>>157127055>nba is dull and boring now with few iconic moments.for me it's deaaron fox not boxing out og
>Kobe is a rapist
lebum hired chinese assassins to kill kobe bryant
>>157127296>Understanding LeBron becomes really easy when you realize ;he was already called "King" in high school, he never stood a chance of escaping narcissism
>>157127637Ring chasing would be the Knicks, okc or San Antonio
>>157127726you mean was
>>157127761Everybody saying ring chasing… ain’t everyone in the fucking league chasing a damn ring??
>>157127793if all the top players joined up with each other the NBA would be dead
Haters : “But he always joins super teams “LeBron :
>>157127712That's more infamous than iconic
The 2024 Olympics really played a pivotal role for Lebron signing with the 76ers. Insane to think about
>>157127793>ain’t everyone in the fucking league chasing a damn ring??
>>157127849I would argue it's more that he usually creates the scenarios where Superteams are formed.>Worked with Wade and Bosh to form the Heatles>Joined a blossoming Kyrie and maneuvered to get Kevin LoveI wouldn't even consider the 2020 Lakers to be a Super Team, it was a big 2 and high quality role players
>>157127826It happens all the time. We only complain about it if it works
>>157127978Not a single soul complained about the Suns
> BREAKING: Free agent guard Ben Simmons announced he is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a one-year, $14 million deal with a player option. 76ers President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey, or any other member of the teams' front office has yet to comment after being made aware of the announcement. 1:47 PM · Jul 25, 2026
>>157127992Why would you make it so impossible to believe with that price tag
>>157127793earners: Dirk, Brunson, Stephchasers: KD, Kyrie, Lebron
>>157127726He is (was). There’s a reason why younger generations turned on him
>>157128014>Dirk, Brunson StephAll had objectively great front offices that could build teams>KDGenuine ring chaser>KyrieGets run out of every town he's in>LebronNever joined a great team
This actually pretty dope..Lebron haters stay away... I like the picture so save the energy for someone else lol
>>157128032>>Lebron>Never joined a great teamThen wtf was Miami ? A bad team?
>>157128038>AIslop
>>157127849Holy shit Dwanye wade is a hack
>>157127924I think he works out with Maxey because he's a klutch guy too
>>157128045>09-10First round elimination>08-09First round elimination>07-0815 wins>06-07First round eliminationThe team was not great when Lebron joined
this is gonna be a bigger kwab than 2019 or 2023, I can feel it
>>157128072pretending that Lebron and Kryie weren't the great colluders that set off an era of superteams that nearly killed the sport and brought about the apron era
>>157128112Without Lebron and Kyrie, we never would've gotten Pierce, Garnett, and Allen!
I need westVISHNU to sign with a contender in the East and demolish LeShart once and for all.
Taking a stinking Wembanyama it really smells like rot
But hey LEBRON started the super team right?
>>157128186> t. salad eater
>went from 52 mil / y to 4 mil / ybiggest pay cut in historywhy is this not talked about more
>>157127171You are masters of cope
AVRA
>>157128359
>>157128072it's fascinating to observe a retard's logic in real time
>>157128373you can do that shit to anybody if they ain't looking.typical of that bitch Draymond Green
>>157128384I know, right? He really thought Lebron was joining a Superteam in Miami
>>157128297>contracts are bloated and inflation makes the comparison meaningless.>aging superstars with expiring contracts who want to stay in the league take veteran min contracts all the goddamn time and nobody gives a shit about these breathless superlative ESPN talking points.>Only difference is LeBron's actual worth is ~$20m, but he's joining a contender, so who cares. Just wait till 38yo Paul George goes from $57m to a vets min.
>>157128394Creating the superteam with your all-nba buddies is the same thing as joining one. Leglazer autists are hopeless.
Enough of the revisionist history. Chris Bosh signed with the Heat before Wade re-signed, LeBron signed last. The three players colluded for years on this deal. Pat Riley was cost-cutting for years to make this happen, that's why they had a poor record for a few years.
>>157128297>41 year old billionaire takes paycut to join a superteam>Essentially buying himself a roster spot for another ring to pad his legacy>ohmygod LeGod is so benevolent>Trump forgoes his $400k govt. salary>while insider trading and crypto-scamming his own followers to the tune of over $2 Billion in 2025>ohmygod Trump is so benevolentstop glazing rich people.
The difficulty level got too high for Bron in L.A. so he's lowered the difficulty level and chosen the easy way out by joining Philly.The 76ers' talent level is now similar to that of KD's GS.He should be given more shit for this as KD was given because accepting $4 million per year is essentially the kind of exploit that people get banned from online games for.La Liga (soccer league) has a rule designed to prevent this. It requires new contracts to be at least a minimum percentage of the prior contract. It is designed to prevent players like Kylian Mbappe or Lamine Yamal from accepting a $1 contract, content with sponsorship money, to give their team an unfair competitive advantage. It forces teams' spending to match the talent they're spending on, ensuring fair play.What LeBron just did is an exploit designed to bypass fair play regarding NBA economics. It's the equivalent of an online FPS player using an exploit to teamstack in a pub server to statpad and stomp noobs.This is, of course, not the only time LeMickey has chosen the easy way out:>Should I increase my athletic performance natty? No, I'll use PEDs instead.>Should I stick it out with Cleveland? No, the difficulty level is too high, I'll form a superteam in Miami instead.>Should I stick it out in Miami? No, the difficulty is too high now, I'll form a superteam in Cleveland instead.>Should I stick it out in Cleveland? No, the difficulty is too high now, I'll go to the one team in the league with the best financial/legacy abilities to lure stars.>Should I stick it out in LA? No, the difficulty is too high now, I'll form a superteam in Philly instead.And what has a career of taking the easy way out gotten LeMickey?>2 less rings than MJ, 10 Finals losses, missed the playoffs and got swept and gentleman's swept the next four yearsKWAB
>>157128591I was more thinking in terms of "is this not considered a bitch ass move and obvious ring chasing" to take a contract that is below your worth as a player
whatever happened to bron's 2nd son wasn't he supposed to be better than bronny
I cannot wait for this to happen
>>157128674>10 Finals lossesEr, 6. Oopsie.
Love to see the Nuggets falling apart.
Wemby is the face of the league. WemCHADs are running things from now on.
>>157128728nurse just don't pass the melanin test
>>157128674why do you have such a hate boner for Lebron and why do you think losing only to Jordan in the all time ranking is somehow being a failure
>>157128953>and why do you think losing only to Jordan in the all time rankingHe's ranked below Adam Morrison because Adam did not use PEDs.
>>157128948>ay bruh we a bunch of real niggas but we ain't got a real nigga coach we finna change that>*gets nurse fired midseason*
>>157128953he's a salty warriors fan and secretly wanted him to come to GS
>>157128055Dwyane Wade looks like a parrotfish.A child-abusing parrotfish.
>>157129139I am not a Warriors fan and would immediately stop supporting my team, if LeMickey joined it, until he left.
Peyton Watson, hurry up please
>>157128297He's 80 years old frog
>>157128170Apparently someone told Spo not to get him because he's difficult to coach, it's why he still unsigned rn
For me, it's Stephen "Not a disloyal team-hopping little bitch" Curry.
>>157129358Stephen "I'll turn a blind eye to apethug Green" Currywhat kind of fucking stupid last name is Curry anyway

>>157130287NY already has a King
>>157127176No dog in this fight but its clear Luka will never win a ring
>>157130287i was told mamdanistan would drive away all the billionaires
Maybe I'm retarded but I still think that the Heat would've been the best fit for Lebeta. Wiggins is a proven 3&D guy and THJ is streaky but a good shooter. Philly is gonna be a trainwreck with 3 ball dominant stars, embleed might actually get traded by the deadline or fall on lebron and end his career
>>157127849Shane's a fucking retard kek
>>157128014Kyrie "chased" for his ring...?
>>157130431Giannmickey needs the ball in his hands all the time, he and LeMickey would be a terrible fit
>>157130427Im thinkin hes back
>>157128394What else did they do that off-season anonRetard
>>157130427This isn't even his final form. You can tell he's still carrying some extra weight
>>157130460colluding to leave his team and create a superteam elsewhere while representing them at the 2011 all star game is the biggest bitch move in sports history and you should never forgive him for that.
>>157128684LeBron was out of the league or worse a net if he insisted on 50 million
>>157130526correction, 2019 all-star game
>>157128864Face of choking you mean kek
>>157129828Bron fags have given up arguing about Jordan and are now reduced to trying to shoehorn bron above Kobe. Sad
what happens with Bronny's career now?
>>157130590Celtics for him, he has to beat his father in the worst way to ascend now.
>>157130427Wasn't this nigga fat and with shingles a weak ago??? Uh oh LeBron its PACER TIME
>>157126998A lot of people just don’t like him going back to his Davidson days. Real hoopers know.
>>157130526Lol ok I'll give you that
>>157130590He gets traded to the Sixers before training camp.
>>157127119Based Brown and Emsheed can mask the fact that Bron can’t play D but Bron can stand there and maybe stay in front of slower PF’s. Could work. I’ll be watching.
>>157130427I'm 5'10 265 lbs it's so over>>157130590Becomes the main building block for the post Steph years on the Warriors
>>157130590It's over. LeWashed already used him to have their "historic moment" together and now he has no more use for LeSperm.
>>157130659>>157130659Lebron's just going to do what he's done for the last couple seasons which is camp in the paint and point to where everyone else should go while moving the absolute bare minimum.
>>157127119SHOULD we just FAST FORWARD to the NBA FINALS?? :fire:

It’s official. The Philadelphia 76’ers have listed LeBron James as 6’11” for the 2026 season. LeBron James, entering into his 24th season, grew 2 inches in the offseason… joining Wemby and Cooper Flagg with offseason growth spurts. LeBron was previously listed as 6’9” for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025.>>157131237Faggot white boy

>>157131160It's like 50/50. Austin Reaves was just an undrafted guy whose talent ended up undeniable. Walker Kessler has been long rumored since the ADisney days since he'd be a great big to pair with AD and it just took until now for Ainge to finally give him up. Luka was the only major young star possible to get and Pelinka and Nico's prior relationship made it happen. Dalton was because he was a 4 year college player and most 4 year players are white. From there it just snowballed...
Placing a huge bet on the Seventh Sixers today
>>157130987Next 'ic up mentality from Serbia
>>157131160Bronny runs the lakers now. They left him out due to racism
How bad is Kentavious Caldwell-Poop? Is he even a good signing as the 9-10 man on the sixers? Or just to keep Bron happy I guess
>>157131468Been washed for a few years now

People say this is a dream team but I literally didn't hear a thing about VJ last year. He's a literal who and brown was just dumped for pennies because he has bad analytics. That's not even going into embiid being always injured and LeBron being old
The unc from outside the gas station who asked you for a cigarette is headed to the Sixers

>one ballwho gets put in the cardio role? unless you ask one of these ballhogs to come off the bench, everyone's numbers are going to go down and they'll be exposed to backlash from box score watchers
>>157131865The vibes are gonna be good
Karmelo dindu
>>157132298This is actually a big signing. If they get Klay on the buyout market it's actually over.
Bron and Embiid coming off the bench
>>157131976even when Tatum burns you it's done in a nice way. i'd hate to see him actually mad.
>>157132449Pfft
>>157132449What is this, facebook? Fuck off faggot lmfao, you’re legit a lil bitch LOL
2026-2027 76ers gonna be the slowest team of all time lol
>>157132451>>157132298KCP and Klay are absolutely washed are you guys joking
Aren't you guys forgetting someone?
>>157132449Based. I already changed over my profile pictures. I don’t root for teams I root for the GOAT
>>157132449We're finally free from all these bronsexuals
>>157131976LIGHTSKINS AT IT AGAIN
>>157132449we follow the king simple as
what team could use mpj right now?
>>157127495it's not. cleveland offer was $9 mil a year
>>157132651Denver
>>157132651>what team could use mpj right now? Maccabi Tel Aviv
It always was gonna happen, he told us years ago
>>157126873legodsisters...we have to watch one year of embiitch and shart brown, just end meof all the fucking teams...why is this nigga so retarded
Ima just sit this right here:* Garrett Temple — 12 teams* Jeff Green — 11 teams* Dennis Schröder — 11 teams* Seth Curry — 10 teams* Chris Paul — 8 teams* Patty Mills — 8 teams* James Harden — 6 teams* Russell Westbrook — 6 teams* Kyle Lowry — 6 teams* DeMar DeRozan — 5 teams* Nicolas Batum — 5 teams* Kentavious Caldwell-Pope — 5 teams* Kevin Durant — 5 teams LeBron James — 4 teams. Stop the team hopping narrative
>>157132759Could have gone to the spurs and secured a ring with 100% certainty baka
>>157132432Maxey shoots better off ball anyway
If it were a girl, 4 or 12 body counts is still a whore for me
>>157132856My girl said her body count is over 25
>>1571328105 teams*leaving Miami back to Cleveland counts too
Simple! Since we talking basketball!
>>157132856lol then unless you live in a church or monastery almost everyone around you is a whore, men and womenshit I had 4 bodies going into my senior year of high school, what are you a fucking loser
>>157132875>clutch
Bridges to Philly for 3 million?
>>157132881You are sad and gross
>>157132810>a bunch of role players>a bunch of overrated fraud "stars">the biggest bitch of this eraNice list right there anon. Why don't you compare Lebum to the actual stars of his time like Kawhi, Curry, Giannis, Jokic, etc., hm?And half of these were moving away from shit teams to slightly better teams, not big 3s or superteams.
>>157132881>>157132903I bet 99% of my grade school class had sex with more than 3 people by the time college was over. Some girls had that by year 1 of college
>>157132881I know its difficult for you fecaloids to understand but eating out your mom, older sister and aunties pussy when you were 5 does not count as a “body
>>157132867she counted me atleast 20 times
>>157126916and who's the guy who tricked the world into thinking of paul george as a good player
>>157132903lol yeah rich coming from the khv who's entering his forties, please>>157132929I actually didn't have that many more bodies after high school and through college, only have about 10 or 11 as of now>>157132937lmao another salty khv, no need to project your non existent sex life anon
This game gets boring really fast
>>157132969I was definitely a late bloomer at got about 15 from 20-25. I was American living in Europe though which made it a bit easier
Remember when everyone thought the KD-led Thunders were going back to the finals after 2013?This Wemby-led Spurs might never get to the finals either after this. They are unironically going to regret not trading for Kawhi after all this.
>>157132810Nigga this pure retard
>>157132875>LeBron>clutchMy fucking sides
>>157133015the spurs don't have a westbrick and have not traded their harden
>>157132564only nigga with aura left in the entire nba. halli you gotta save the league big dawg
>>157132856Trvke
>>157133062Not my point at all. No one is guaranteed to go the finals, one key injury, doesn't even need to be your main guy and you are gone. Everyone got better meanwhile the Spurs got 45yo Tobias Harris>>157133068Indeed. Halligod gon teach em
>>157133062>de’aaron fox>not a westbrick
>>157133015KD was injured in 2014 but yeah both teams have a massive leadership issue that could prevent them from achieving their potential.
>>157133130everybody in the east got better. OKC got worse, denver got worse, Lakers got worse, wolves tbd but lost their identity, maybe houston is better, and the rest don't matter
The NBA couldn’t make a schedule untilLeBron picked a team….let that sink in.
>>157133185True, still, nothing is guaranteed>>157133218Fair, but they are all more experienced and the Spurs is very young and retarded still. Someone will get injured eventually and the whole team will implode.>>157133220Silver needs as much drama as possible to keep people watching the RS, please understand...
>>157133130Spurs will get better just by development though. If you haven’t noticed their MO is drafting guys that have insane upside and bad jump shots and improving their shooting. And they seem to be able to do this like clockwork. And shooting was the big weakness of the team so yeah why not run it back they will get better shooting from the young guys almost certainly.
my body count is 0
>>157130731>No love for the Hawks >No love for the Hornies
>>157133256I'm a Spurs fan bro, I understand that, I watched the whole Danny Green and Kawhi saga there, I watched them develop D White and handle Dejounte's low IQ instincts, I watched the hellish years of Walker and Sochan. I know. The problem is that the whole team is like that now, and that's not sustainable at all. Back then 80% of the team was of very professional old healds who knew how to take care of their bodies and that you could mostly trust to perform well in important games. The current team is like 80% young dudes who are practically teenagers coming off of a season where they massively overachieved, who despite taking care of their bodies off the court run like retards on the court, who still depend majorly on a 8ft stick who could still get injured at any moment to play decent defense. And most of the veterans in the roster do not even have championship pedigree. The leader of the team is a 22yo professional social media aura farmer for fucks sake. I predict a 2nd round exit to some meme team after a major injury.
>>157130007It’s never too late to watch old games. I have some Kobe classics if you’re interested
>>157133328I went to Amsterdam at 21 to lose my virginity
>>157133364Why would I want to watch a rigged game
>>157133328Sovl. Don't fall for the peer pressure anon. You'll one day find a decent girl and dump all those 20 something years worth of virgin semen inside her baby bag.
>>157133364I was rewatching 80s ball recently. Dudes had insane cardio back then
>>1571333812001 wasn’t rigged. The Lakers swept the Kings 4-0 Read a Basketball reference page or something
>>15713340480’s games are fun. This one is my fave. Pistons should’ve probably won but James Worthy saved the Lakies ass ; https://youtu.be/Pqgq_Nx-xDk?is=txfBlgarlu5rrwUG
Also, this was a thing before lol>The NBA’s "3-to-make-2" rule allowed a fouled player in the bonus to shoot up to three free throws to score a maximum of two points. If they made their first two shots, the sequence ended immediately; if they missed one or both of the first two, they were granted a third attempt.
>>157133431I'm still at the beginning of the decade, but hell yeah they are fun. Barely any pauses, everyone running like crazy, smart quick passes from everyone, etc.. Much sovl.
>>157133462Who do you enjoy watching? For me, it’s Dennis Johnson before the knee injuries. And those Sixers teams were stacked as fuck. Bobby Jones is one of the best defenders I’ve seen
>>157132881I’ve never found sex interesting. I’m not really interested in getting into a relationship or having sex in general. I’ve had multiple girls find me “hot”. Like two of them asked me out but I just say no. I don’t have the emotional capacity or patience to be intimate with another woman, let alone have a relationship with one.
>>157132449thank god my Knicks didn't bring this plague down upon themselves. Wish my jetties had the same sense when it came to favre, tebow, and rodgers.
>>157133478I always liked Bird for his shooting and passing, but rewatching old games I was pleasantly surprised by his defense, specially offball lol Dude was running around like they owed him moneyBut Andrew Toney was also pretty fun, his style reminds me of Russ a bit
>>157133508Sounds pretty gay anon
>>157133528Sour grapes
>>157133533Andrew Tony was one of the best Shooting Guards ever….for like a season and a half. >Bird Yeah, he’s a fun watch. Idk if you’ve gotten to 1986-87 but Kevin McHale may have been their best player for a couple years. Too bad both of them had relatively short primes because of injury and the way they took care of themselves
>>157133540I’m not attracted to men.
>>157133596sure buddy
>>157126873Meal.
>>157133508I don’t think you are straight. Not calling you gay but your aren’t interested in women.
>>157133594>Andrew Tony was one of the best Shooting Guards ever….for like a season and a half.Yeah, I was surprised I never heard of him until this series, then I read about it and got it lolI'm still in 1982, I'll watch the ECF tonight. But yeah, McHale was also pretty nice, they bounced off of each other pretty well
Me I’m starting my historical NBA watching with 1990. Sorry boomers
>>157133651Oh shit yeah you aren’t even to prime Bird and young MJ yet. It only gets better when you get to the mid 80’s in my opinion (when showtime/Pat Riley Lakers start taking over). >>157133667Just wanna watch Jordan dominate then? Most kino 90’s moments are Pistons/Bulls and Rockets/Knicks
Heat went from biggest winner of the offseason to not mattering at all :)
>>157133772I mean they were never liek top 5 contenders, the giannis hype just finally wore off and people remembered how shallow their roster is right nowsure he may have wanted a payday but letting powell walk for nothing was stupid
>>157133772LeBron not going to a team starting Davion Mitchell and point guard
>>157133772They didn't matter to begin with. Yannis ain't that guy anymore.
Lebron can't sign a 2 year deal and kcp can't sign at all without some moves
When Kareem Abdul Jabbar won his final NBA title in 1988, he was the fourth option behind Magic, Byron Scott, and James Worthy.No one said it took him out of the GOAT conversation (nor should it).
2 year contract keeps the LeBron storybook ending in place. Year 1: Lebron wins his 5th ringYear 2: Next year Bryce and Bronny join the Sixers, wins No. 6 matching Jordan and walks into the sunset.
>>157133508Vocel
>>157133793A Giannis Bam Wiggins frontline is better than a Embiid Lebron Brown lineup
>>157133899To be fair, I have Bron & Kareem outside my top 5 but inside my top 10
>>157133738Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to that mid 80s to mid 90s chunk>>157133899Completely different. Kareem joined the Lakers 11 years before while being the best player in the league, he just moved to a better market after trying to carry the Bucks to another ring.
Okay, so I have decided to watch a ‘Classic’ film I haven’t seen before. I’m between ;>Lord of the Rings : The Fellowship>Fight ClubYou guys pick. Also, go Lakers. Glad we never have to watch LeBum in purple & gold again
>>157134003Both are meh, watch Elite Squad I and II instead
>>157133220I was shocked the commisioner would say something like that piblicly. So much for "parody" era...
>>157134003Fight club is a one and done good movie.LOTR is the start of a 9 hour marathon that is worth it but not an impulse watch.
>>157134091The last time I watched LOTR was 10 years ago and I remember being bored out of my mind. Maybe I'll give it another watch.
The Sixers will have the highest offensive rating ever at 128, the sum of their starting 5 jersey numbers combined :)
>
>>157133508>>157133540>>157133596>>157133938This happens often to modern men. being extremely low T while being stimulated in a ton of different ways by a screen.
>>157134003I love fellowship but if you don't plan on watching the next 2 movies within a week I'd say fight club
Wtf so the Hawks and the Kings do have rings
Damn.
>>157133926Those would mean More than Jordan's rings too. Pippin contract merchant
>>157134141There were like 3 teams back then an only 2 mattered
>>157134248Yeah, but Lakers KWABbery is impressive, 17-15 lol
>>157133328>Greek has never had sexThere is historicla precidence for this. The Greeks fought a 10 year war with the Trojans because Menalus' wife (Helen) dropped his ass for a 'barbarian'. But who is really the Barbarian? The one who fought a war for 10 years and costs tens of thousands of men their lives, or the one who accepted a wife who wanted to leave her husband? The Persians, who were counted as 'barbarians' by the greeks, actually saw the Greeks as the true Barbarians. Thus Heroditus:>Now, to carry off women by violence the Persians think is the act of wicked men; to trouble one's self about avenging them when so carried off is the act of foolish ones; and to pay no regard to them when carried off, of wise men: for it is clear, that if they had not been willing, they could not have been carried off. Accordingly the Persians say, that they of Asia made no account of women that were carried off; but that the {3}Greeks for the sake of a Lacedæmonian woman assembled a mighty fleet, sailed to Asia, and overthrew the empire of Priam. From this event they had always considered the Greeks as their enemies: for the Persians claim Asia, and the barbarous nations that inhabit it, as their own, and consider Europe and the people of Greece as totally distinct.These are historical facts. Do with them what you will.
just realized anfernee simons is on the 76ers and we're going to have to hear that retarded name more often now
>>157134171>Brasil didn't know about the St. Louis HawksNeither did I
>>157134003Neither of those films are 'classics'. A classic would be something like King Kong, Sullivans Travels, On the Waterfront, etc.
>>157134320Tbf I did know about them but I just didn't know they won a ring
>>157134300He sucks, nobody will talk about him
Why tf is KD shitposting on Threads now
>>157134347>Minnesota MuskiesHoly soul
Ain't nobody scared of the 76ers lmao
>>157134325>King Kong The 1933 one is awesome >Sullivans travels Never heard of it >On the Waterfront On my list of things to watch eventually. Just feeling like something more modern tonight >>157134091I’m kinda down for a 9 hour marathon, but I would probably break it up to make it more palatable >>157134030Never heard of it. But if it’s anything like City of God then I’ll put it on my list
>>157134347My HECKIN hometown AMIGOS!
random thought but remember that season when westbrook averaged a triple double? that's still the weirdest thing I've ever seen in the nba, an entire team colluding to let a player stat pad his way to a TRIPLE DOUBLE EVERY SINGLE GAME
>>157134370Elon is a chud
>>157134379I hate Embiid but desu if he stays healthy this chip might be a wrap. Huge if though since it never happens, team could implode
>>157134442Never won or drew a dime
>>157134373ABA teams were much sovl indeed.>>157134394>Never heard of it. But if it’s anything like City of God then I’ll put it on my listCity of God, Elite Squad I and II usually get recommended as a package. They are all very good.
>>157134442It would be strange if Jokic didn’t do the same thing 5 years later
>>1571344422017 was the gayest year in the NBA with KD jumping on the warriors jock, I thought Russell Westbrook averaging a triple double was the positive thing about that season, especially when it was his first season with no other star.But then he did it for 2 more seasons and kind of watered it down, he should have kept it a one season thing and it would have been mythical like Oscar Robertson's. Once he did it three seasons in a row people saw right through it, as just junk stats when they realize all he's doing is chasing his rebounds when he often doesn't need to
Shaq defends LeBron’s decision to chase another championship:“Those who haven’t achieved greatness call it ring chasing because they haven’t achieved greatness.”(h/t @0xBassey)
>>157134489the same people who clown players for ring chasing are the same ones that clown them when the retire ringless.
Disasterclass offseason for the Pistons
>>157134489Shaq has no choice but to defend LeBron. He literally joined LeBron to ring chase in 2009-10, and the Celtics the next season after LeBron left for Miami. Former Cavs and Celtics great, Shaquille O’Neal
theres nothing even wrong with ring chasing, the goal is to win right?
>>157134442>that season He did it 4 times including 3 straight seasons in OKC shit was kino especially the first time as it was the fuck Katie revenge tour leloadmanage could never
>>157134487>But then he did it for 2 more seasons and kind of watered it downAgreed, he should have not done it again in OKC but then only done it again with the Wizards, it would have cemented his legacy.
>>157134634>>157134487Retard
>>157134649How? I said it on 4chan so I'm automatically right.
All this just to get swept by Brunson again
>even nuggets can't even hold on to fucking spencer jonesbraun's extension and its consequences have been fucking disaster
Rudy Gobert would lock Shaq down to 5 points and 3/50 FTs
>>157135006holy retard
>>157134300chek'd and kek'd
>>157135021It's true. Anunoby would lock Prime Kobe's ass too
You KNOW im gonna be there crafting the most absolute DEVIOUS narratives if Jokic and Embiid have the same number of rings after next season
>>157135148>no-knee embiid and geriatric leboobie winning a rang in 2027
Career points in ECF>Tyler Kolek: 8>Joel Embiid: 0
>>157134442he actually ruined his career, the mvp award, and triple doubles at the same time, because the media collectively baseded out about his le heckin trippie dubbies and how theres' no way you can average a triple double and not be the mvp it's just automatically yours, so he proceeded to play triple double farm ball the rest of his career, and the media had to just pretend they never said triple double average = auto MVP, which was easy because they lie 24/7 and nobody holds them accountable for the stupid shit they say, ever.
>>157135148yeah yeah you've been saying this about 1 round hitter quitter Embleed for years
Custom lines when
>>157135304another reason baseball is sovl
>>157135304Left should just be everywhere. Tired of corner niggas being so important and expensive. If you got no skills go play football.
>>157135358The thing that makes me mad is that the NBA is pretty slow to try new shit. No one really watches G-League games and it's not even a good comparison to know if it would work in the NBA or not.>>157135313Indeed.
>>157135304The one team that makes their entire court 3pt
>>157135479Based but you would still need a little circle so that dunks are only worth 2
>>157135479I'd be more interested to know who would be the team to just remove the 3 point line lol
>>157135519miami
>>157135624Damn, true. Spurs might flirt with the idea because of Wemby but I think that would just lead to him getting elbowed by everyone down the paint so they would quickly give up on the idea. The Pistons maybe?
The 76ers backups are actually not a bad lineup by themselves. They need a true Center, but man I used to dream about this
>>157135736Wizards got the better starting 5 and bench
>>157135740Open mic night, eh?
>>157135736Not many options desu
>>157135740Tanking is the worst thing in sports. How the fuck do Luka, Jokic, Embiid, Giannis (all MVP level players) spend most of their careers with the lowest level dogshit teams.
>>157135773Time to get one for Kelly Olynyk
You know you're a lazy chucker bum when Lebron leaves your ass. Doncic will never win anything the mavericks were right
>>157135773I thought Mo Wagner signed a two year with the Nets
>>157135817>REPORTS: AGREES TO DEAL WITH BKN
>>157135817Apparently they've agreed to a contract, but haven't signed yetAnother site
Now that Christopher Emmanuel Paul Senior has retired, he should be the co-host with lebron for mind the games season 3
>>157135788>Luka, Jokic, Embiid, Giannis >LukaYou really tried to sneak him in there kek
He's already made it to wildwood
>>157135869>White boy of the yearAR should wear that for every warm up games
157135865Shit bait jeet, FTA is the only player considered top 5 with a good team right now
>>157135869this is how you know you've really arrived
157135994There's no bait lolcow, your fat tub of lard isn't an MVP caliber player and was shipped out from Dallas because of it. He had less first place votes than fucking Cade LOL>FTA is the only player considered top 5 with a good team right nowWembust exists and is objectively better than Luka too
Greetings /nba/, I want to make an announcement.After watching a Michael Jordan defense highlight reel on youtube, I can without a doubt say he's the GOAT.Thank you for your time.
>>157131976Coming from the guy who names his son after taking a shit. Brainlets will support this handicap fuck
>>157136155Now watch Bird defense highlights
WE
>>157136256Is that you Larrybro? If so long time no see
Tfw Wemby's very good core isn't even close to as good as FTA's superteam and they still lost to Wemby just like they lost to Luka on the Mavs kek
I remember when superteam meant 3 superstars together and not 2 guys on rookie deals. Shame Jdub and Chet were getting outplayed by DJJ and PJ Washington while Shai was belting Luka's bum ass.
The LeBron haters are scrambling
GoingOntoAnotherTeam
>>157136268kek thats actually me im surprised someone remember that whole brazilarry thingGood times
>>157136413If Jordan was the so called "GOAT" to a lot of yall, why didn’t he win a championship with the Wizards?LeBron won a championship on every franchise he went to!
LeftistEffeminate BabyRoidedOrangutan-lookinNigga
>>157136441LeBron wasn’t even better than Kobe. The fuck we talkin about. He’ll, don’t Duncan and Steph have winning finals records against Bum?
>>157136131Time is a valuable thing
>>157136422I think you are one of the few recognizable posters in this general lol Bless you bro, I fucking hated the Warriors but your posts always got a sincere chuckle out of me
Shaq Wade Dwight Bosh Love Westbrook Kyrie Deron Williams Jaylen BrownRondo Tyrese Maxey Luka Doncic Anthony Davis Marc Gasol Isaiah Thomas Carmelo Anthony Ray Allen Joel Embiid 4 rings
>>157131012like 2k26, only if you do the offline modes. stay the hell away from VC.>>157136413i wonder if rondo lost aura by liking this shirt then ending up on the lakers with lebron. punching chris paul probably banked him a lifetime of points though.
>>157136609Haven’t played since 2K23 but creating budget squads for online play was always the way to go. Loved beating the shit out of rich kids that had pack opening addictions
>>157136507I'm convinced now that yall just want to hate on LeBron. The 76ers wasn't called a "super team" until Lebrons announcement.
>>157137028>pretending to ignore they traded 36yo PG for prime JB right before thatkek
>>157137041>prime JB
>>157137279just 3 short months ago JB was the secret mvp that only true ball knowers could understand why and now he's lebum's teammate and therefore the worst player in the league
>>157137324>Taking Boston media seriouslyHe was never even close, lol. His defence also fell off a cliff when his usage got higher. Not so easy to be a "two way player" when you're running an offence.
>>157137324>>157137360>>157137279He will not allow himself to be #5 when he was the #1 last year and #2 when Tatum is around.Between Embiid's knees and his obnoxious le smart black negro gimmick he'll chimp out on a livestream first.
As soon as LeBron joins a team, it’s automatically a “superteam” but y’all claim he’s not the GOAT lol
>>157136155Wait a minute. It is much harder to win four rings with: 4 different owners 4 different GMs4 different Head Coaches 4 different offensive sets4 different defensive sets 4 different sets of teammates.This is much harder to do
LeBron winning a chip with a 4th franchise would be more impressive than any ring Michael Jordan won.
>>157136155Jordan walked away when things got uncomfortable. When they didn’t bring back Phil he quit the NBA.
>having 4 kids with 4 different whores is better than having 6 kids with your hot wife
>>157138048legendary perspective with this post goddang
The LeBron hate is unnatural if y’all claim to really love basketball.
NBA is losing money by not buying the BIG3 or at least collabing with it. Actually, it would be even better if they made their own old men league. Like a NBA Masters summer league, only recently retired players and maybe free agents over 35, something like 10 teams, 4 quarters of 8 minutes/32 min games, smaller court, maybe 6v6 so it's a really slow game for the grandpas,etc... They could even play in markets the NBA is interested in expanding to in the future like Kansas, Nashville, Canada, Mexico, and Idk
>>157132856I took virginity of my 1st gfalso my 2ndmy 3rd had 3 partners before memy 4th was a slut, +30 countsmy current had 3there're still decent women down the road, you just need to work your way
The fact that LeBron is 42 years old and ya scared says a lot. If he’s washed him joining the 76ers shouldn’t bother you.
>>157136540Watch it flies by as the pendulum swings
I ain't scared of no Lebron, PUSSY.We the LBK.
Curry getting traded mid season
>>157132881larp>>157132856True
Did LeBron offer his services to the Lakers for 8 million dollars, and did Pelinka turn him down?Yes, I know the co written rport by Shams and Rich Paul was that he asked the Lakers for big money, but that Shams story is sourced to Rich Paul, NOT THE LAKERSI guarantee that nigga told Pelinka he'd play for Pennies and Rob said "GTFO"
>>157136393LeBron is still really good he's just not worth the max anymore. Him opting into the max last season instead of declining his player option and re-signing for something far cheaper ruined the Lakers season. That's what LA fans were pissed about.
>>157135773Love is definitely gonna sign with Philly
Drayboon should leave the Warriors and just sign with Philly, he's more loyal to the Klutch cause than with Steph anywayTrade Brown to the Mavericks for Kyrie and KlayTrade Embiid to the Wizards for ADTrade some white guy and second round picks to the Lakers for BronnySign all the remaining boomer free agents
>>157139449I have a better idea. Drayboon leaves the Warriors, retires and then jumps off a bridge
>>157136256If im curry seeing these two pull up im taking the entire season off
Lebron will win this season la
Can't wait to see how VJ, JB, and Embiid handle gettin thrown under the bus by klutch mafia and bronsexuals.
lebum blew it he coulda closed on a ring if he came to my raptor now unfortunately he's trapped in the east with CLAW+SCROTE
>>157138594I have a theory that lower body counts are actually linked to weirder or more extreme sexual deviance. Beyond a certain age
Sixers got the speedy fast niggas like Maxey and Simons, the hyper athletic explosive black niggas with VJ and Brown and then the giganiggas like Bron and Embiid. They fill all roles in an NBA team in 2027 :)
>>157140052>he thinks silver will let kawhi go to the east now that lebron is there
>>157140673Simons isn't fast and Brown has like a 12 inch vertical.
>>157140673all the roles except being useful with 4 shots per game because embiitch, leattention, and mr smartest streamer in the room are going to get theirs for one reason or another
TYBH
>>157140673Jaylen Brown is going to explode when he finds out that he won't have 20+ shots a game anymore, even less if Embiid is playing.With only him on the team initially he could have commanded respect being the only NBA champion on the team, now with Lebron around he's going to get bigleagued hard and won't tolerate Lebron's off-court shenanigans.A losing streak, getting dabbed on by Jayson Tatum and Hugo Gonzalez, Embiid injured again, Lebron putting out trade rumours in December for his favorite teammates will all send him back streaming and talking shit.
This offseason has been an unmitigated disaster for my thunder
The two most important things any team can do right now in the NBA is shoot 3's and play defense.76ers starting lineup:LeBron James: 31.7% 3PT, traffic cone defenseTyrese Maxey: 36.7% 3PT, undersized guard who is a neutral defender at bestVJ Edgecombe: 35.4% 3PT, good defenderJaylen Brown: 34.7% 3PT, good defenderJoel Embiid: 33.3% 3PT, good defenderThey're a poor 3PT shooting team with a good defense but not one of the best defenses in the league. Title-winning teams usually have one of the best defenses in the league.
>>157141380>Joel Embiid, good defenderjesus christ
>>157141380Is embiitch even a good rim protector anymore? Seems to me that will be a big part of the puzzle. If he is shutting down the paint they are gonna be a nasty defense and also have the top two fast break point guys in the game so every turnover is gonna be a dunk on the other end most likely. That’s formidable
>>157141380>embitch good defenderthrowing yourself into someone's knees after they've blown past you isn't defense.
>>157141466>>157141490>>157141515I'm assuming (and making an ass out of u and me by doing so!) that his defense is going to improve compared to last year if he stays healthy.>if he stays healthyHaha yeah I know.
>>157141340The only hope for them is that jdub stops getting injured and chet starts playing like an all-nba player all season. At the end of day both of them are gonna get paid more money than SGA next season so it's time for them to step up finally
>>157141380The Sixers owner just wants to sell jerseys. He knows he ain't winning shit lmao
Derek Fisher on LeBron to the 76ers:“You’re not ring chasing when you’re the guy that creates the rings!”
>>157141466True, the man is a generationally elite defender that was criminally underrated by the basketball media
>>157141380>JB>good defenderlol
>People still don't understand that Maxey is an elite off-ball shooter
LeBron James is NOT a 19-year-old carrying a franchise.LeBron James is NOT a 27-year-old MVP chasing legacy.LeBron James is NOT a 35-year-old veteran on a farewell tour.He is 42 years old.Y’all are holding a 42-year-old to championship-or-bust standards and complaining about him being a 4th option?! That alone should tell you everything: HE IS STILL THAT GUY.
embiid is bad defender these daysdoesnt even defensive rebound
Embiid will break your knees if you dunk on him.
