Basketball has become pay to play. Every top high school prospect has a trainer. However the best players don’t pay for anything, and those are the players going to the NBA. It’s the middle ground guys. Mostly guys who play D2 or D1 but don’t make the NBA

i guess it's not entirely suprising that the NBA has become this corrupt, but it's hilarious that roger goodell did more to punish deflategate than adam "yes harder daddy ballmer" silver will do to this

guess they needed a literal smoking gun, the fact that a fucking jumbotron company (why the fuck would one of these ever endorse a player?) endorsed one player and never announced it, wasn't enough
>>
>>157392576
Silver is in on the fix. The "2nd Apron" is just a tactic they use to cook the books and money launder. If you think the NBA is a legitimate competition in 2026, you are not paying attention. I wouldn't be shocked if the league is getting detailed instructions from the gambling companies for each game
>>
>>157388749
There's a reason why it's considered the most laughable HoF, even more than baseball's (which is a monumentally impressive feat).
I saw even Doc fucking Rivers got in. Best known as the guy who won one ring when he had the only superteam in the league at the time, then spent the next 20 years going to teams with prebuilt championship-level rosters and made every single one of them uncompetitive

from the last sale the scuttlebut was it was a 3-3 tie that she then decided to vote for a sale to make it 4-3. Its suspected that the two younger Buss kids who she hates were the two votes who didnt want to sell.

So why now is she for selling the 17% when before she didnt want to sell? I suspect its because either the two kids she pissed off forced the sale as a fuck you to her or she was told she wouldnt be governer anymore so she decided fuck it we dont need to keep the 17%

>So why now is she for selling the 17% when before she didnt want to sell?
17.8% of $10,000,000,000 is $1,780,000,000
$1,780,000,000 divided six ways is $296,666,666 each

17.8% of $12,500,000,000 is $2,225,000,000
$2,225,000,000 divided six ways is $370,833,333 each

it's called selling high. hope this helps.

Only 3 players in NBA history have ever reached 20,000 points, 7,000 rebounds and 7,000 assists:

LeBron James, Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook.

Lower the bar to 20K / 6K / 6K, and you add Chris Paul, James Harden, John Havlicek, Clyde Drexler and Kobe Bryant.

But then there’s LeBron.

He’s currently sitting at roughly 43,000 points, 12,000 rebounds and 12,000 assists.

So technically, LeBron has reached the 20K-6K-6K club TWICE.

I’m so god damned tired of rangz this rangz that when evaluating individual players. It’s a team sport. If LeBron didn’t go team hopping and super team building he’d probably have a few rings less. If KD didn’t go to the warriors Steph might have a couple less. And yet, if those things had happened, they would have been identical basketball players, but people would talk about them in a different light. If Denver put an insane team around jokic for many years in a row he’d probably have a couple more rings, once again people would talk about him differently, but he’d be the same player. It’s so retarded

now that the dust has settled, how can we evaluate lebron james's lakers tenure?
i feel like it's hard to look at it as anything except lukewarm
apart from the bubble ring (which many perceive as a mickey mouse ring but thats a separate conversation) the lakers really failed to put together a decent roster around him
really the two best players he played with were AD who never played because of injury and luka who came in way too late to make a difference
surely with eight years on the team you would've hoped for more than one finals appearance?
and he was still relatively young and playing well for most of it
>>
>>157416933
Jokic is a generational player. Imagine if he played for a team like the Lakers, Knicks, Bulls, Rockets, Mavericks. Dude would be a billionaire in a few years
>>
>>157417090
I'd say its barely a success story and that's being generous.
>>
>>157417090
LeMickey missed the playoffs.
>>
>>157417090
>the lakers really failed to put together a decent roster around him

LeGM was washed by the time he got to the Lakers. First he decided that an injury prone soft big was gonna be his superstar buddy. Then, after winning the biggest asterisk known in sports history, got rid of important role players that helped him win said asterisk. And finally he reached his peak of retardation when he traded for Westbrick

By the time the Lakers managed to get rid of him and bring in some decent role players he was washed on the court too. In 2023 he was completely responsible for the Lakers losing to the Nuggets. Every game was close but he was so fucking garbage in the 4th quarter they couldn't win one game

After that conference finals he realized he wasn't gonna win anything ever again and just wanted to statpad
>>
For those saying LeBron’s Lakers tenure was a failure… he has as many Conference Finals appearances (2) and Finals appearances (1) as BOTH Nikola Jokic and Giannis’ entire careers. Winning in this league is hard. The standards for LeBron are just different.
>>
>>157417467
What makes LeBron’s Lakers tenure impressive isn’t just the championship. It’s that he arrived at 33 years old to a team that had missed the playoffs for five straight seasons and wasn’t a contender. Most Lakers legends either joined an existing contender or spent their entire prime building their legacy in LA. LeBron didn’t have either advantage. Despite that, he won a championship, Finals MVP, made 7 All-NBA teams, and remained an elite player well into his late 30s.

They beat the 2016 Spurs, but that was the season Kawhi was being held back on offense to make LMA comfortable. 2017 Spurs was another beast. That was probably the best Cavs team of those times too

There is the 2018 Rockets too

OKC in 2016 had GSW on the brink and were 3-1 up until choking, they could go toe to toe with them and if they could go toe to toe with GSW, it literally took klay thompson setting a record for made 3's for GSW to beat OK. a cavs series was very possible to win

then KD to GSW changes everything and it's hard to predict. I think a retooled OKC with horford could beat GSW in 2017 and against the finals, a good chance to beat the cavs

2018 rockets is hard because they literally deserved to win that series and again set that impossible record for missed 3s, bro GSW had some kind of voodoo damn

he had bad injury luck lately. It happens. The point is you can't easily replace his role or fit so you just have to deal with it because you can't contend otherwise. This is different from a Murray who is one of the most easily replaceable kinds of players in the league, while also has notable injury history, or Braun who anybody with eyes can tell is a 6th man while getting the freest shots in the league and visibly shits himself when the lights get bright yet they gave both of them ridiculous contracts that they've had to gut what was left of the team for. AG's health is a distant 3rd at worst problem

honestly Im watching this france serbia match, and its possible jokic is better tham wemby next season, jokic is simply so much more diverse and better of an offensive player, and once you dont let wemby camp the paint, his defensive value goes down specifically, and he cant do anything on offense but shoot the 3 and finish lobs, but against enough size you can make him play from the perimeter

obviously jokic has his weaknesses too, but you can make the argument that the nuggets shooting was outlier bad in the wolves series (kind of a stretch honestly, jokic was just genuinely bad against rudy) the point is i forgot how good jok is
>>
this is why i appreciate the nba because these niggas are just bricking free throws, bricking open shots, going absolutely wild losing the ball

Big Dicks are overrated. Obviously you don’t want micropenis either, but anywhere from 5-7 inches is solid size. What really matters is character. Is there some shape to it? Is it circumcised (the way I prefer) ? girthy shafts are a big bonus. Or if you have a cute little birthmark or even a scar on your cock that’s really hot too and adds a lot of character.

Losing Watson doesn't really matter. He had a 1 month hot stretch but $90 million is a lot of money for that, also recalling he had inflated stats when Jokic was out: someone 'had to score'. It's a little like Beal averaging 30+ two straight seasons because his other teammates were g leaguers so he was the only one scoring, or Lillard the year before the Bucks trade when his teammates were hurt and he had the unlimited green light. How did that work out for the Suns and Bucks once they traded for them off of ccareer years'?
Watson also suffers the same problem that a lot of the Nuggets do: not available when they need him. Braun, his replacement, had a down year last year and struggled through injuries himself but had really great year before. That unprotected 2031 1st from tha Cavs could also be flipped for a star if they become available. Overall I think it was a great trade for Denver.

If you could hypothetically add one of two players over the duration of their entire careers onto your team and you KNEW what you were gonna get, wouldn’t you choose to have the guy on your team that had 15 GREAT seasons instead of the guy that had 11 GREAT seasons?
>>
>>157428035
This team is so unbelievably fucked it's not even worth analyzing anything anymore. After Watson left the available players on their bench now are Spencer Jones, Julian Strawther, Marvin Bagley, DaRon Holmes, Tyus Jones and Zeke Nnaji. That's it. And this team not only doesn't have a top 5 starting squad they are also the only team in the entire league that is in the second apron right now

Things are so bad that both Jokic and the Nuggets should ask for a trade to happen before the season even starts

I don't think it's respectable at all if he just stays for the 360 million dollar extension he can sign next season. That's probably the cheapest and least respectable thing he can do. If he takes a huge paycut or signs with another team then that shows he doesn't just care about the money and still wants to win another championship

Honestly I don't know even know how he can sign that extension anymore. They would have to let Cameron Johnson go who is like one of the last decent players this team has left. If that happens I won't even feel bad for him anymore and would even laugh at his downfall

>>
>>157428174
I agree. It was pretty frustrating watching AD play half the season and usually miss most if not all of the playoffs while taking up 35% of the cap on a supermax. I'd of rather had Mobley or even Murray on their max over AD, they at least suit up. I think the issue is gauranteed contracts. Make only the first year gauranteed, 2nd year partial, and then any years after that non gauranteed. Because if they're on fully gauranteed they have no incentive to really take their craft seriously, get their body right to play, or adapt and re-invent their game to not get hurt as often. Also gauranteed max contracts kill teams since they hand out a max to a player who may theoretically be worth it some day, or to someone who was worth it so you retroactively pay them what their value should have been but isn't anymore.
>>
>>157428276
Yeah their roster is pretty doomed, and with Gordon barely playing these days it's even worse. Losing Brown and Hardaway is gonna sting because they were max value vet minimum guys. I don't think they'll be able to replace them.

Yeah I think I agree, but it says a lot about the Nuggets cap and player outlook that this is the best move they could make. Like how aren't they able to snag Klay? Think how many wide open 3's he'd get playing with Jokic but he'd rather team up with aging basketball blackhole Giannis and Bam instead? Unreal. Maybe he just wants to live in Miami. But short of off loading Gordon and Brauns contract the Nuggets future looks pretty bleak. They couldn't even clear the Timberwolves, last year, and their roster is worse now. How they gonna clear OKC and the Spurs?

Holy never touched a basketball in his life. I don't know how stupid you have to be to think Jokic, who can shoot any shot from anywhere and can average a 30 point triple double with basically any team, has less on-ball gravity than Giannis who is only really a threat to score withing 5 feet of the basket, and even then has to rely on his freakish athleticism to get that close, athleticism which is deteriorating.

And yet the Timerberwolves guarded him in the single coverage with Rudy where he shot an abysmal 20% from 3 and only got his triple dubbies in the 2 wins he had out of 6 games.
>, has less on-ball gravity than Giannis who is only really a threat to score withing 5 feet of the basket
Hilarious you're saying this as a Lakers fag. Did Shaq have no gravity either retard? You put 1 defender in front of Giannis and the basket and he's scoring. It's the entire reason the "Wall" strat for him became a thing, he demands 2+ defenders.

What is it with Lakersfags and not knowing basketball? Or is it just the brain worms you've gotten from being a homosexual tranny fucker?
>>
>>157433149
Your whole argument is around Gobert 'locking down' Jokic but put Gobert on Giannis and it's an even worse outcome. Giannis hasn't gotten out of the 1st round on the East since his championship run. The Pacers put Myles Turner on him and he crumbled lol. As for your Shaq example, I'm not saying Giannis lacks gravity, but you can't compare current, past his prime, injury prone Giannis to prime Lakers shaq. Giannis has grabity, but nowhere near the amount Jokic has. Any reasonable observer of both could tell you that. And Jokic had a career worst 3pt outing ahainst Minny, little of that was due to Gobert. He just went cold, it happens.
>>
>>157433149
>It's the entire reason the "Wall" strat for him became a thing, he demands 2+ defenders
Giannis hasn't 'demanded' two defenders in like 3 seasons. Meanwhile Jokic touches the ball and all 10 eyes from the defense are glued to him.

> Meanwhile Jokic touches the ball and all 10 eyes from the defense are glued to him.
Yeah, so he can't make his silly meme passes that only work in the regular season. Nobody is moving to double him since he's not that caliber of a scorer. Literally all of his highest scoring games have been from the Wolves leaving Rudy on him in single coverage and refusing to double him, and it fucking works, even when Rudy fouls out and they had to put Naz or Randle on him like in the 2OT Westbrick game.

>>157433264
>Coupdn't even take the Pacers to 6 games
Grim as hell. I guess we're also going to ignore that dreadful performance from the FT line that lose them that series and his bizzare rant at the podium after. You also don't think his injuries aren't tied into his waning athleticism? He isn't 24 anymore but he's trying to play like it, that's why he keeps getting hurt. As you age your cartilidge and joints harden more, they're less elastic and can't take the strain like they used to, which leads to soft tissue and muscle strains. Giannis just refuses to re-invent himself like all the greats do. Kobe early in his career was windmill dunking and driving all the time but became a shooter as he aged, he understood the aging curve and adjusted his game accordingly. Giannis either isn't capable of doing that or doesn't care to. Jokoc will average 30-10-10 until he's 40 because he's never relied on overpowering opponents with athleticism, although he does have the best footwork in the NBA and agility for someone his size.

If LeBron retired today, the NBA wouldn't be the same. When MJ left, there was a next up. But with LeBron, there's no clear savior in sight. The league would crash and burn without the King. Who's really carrying the torch after him?

This. I still don't understand how the fuck you don't pay Tim Connelly.

It wasn't the results; his roster is the one that won the title. He had beef with the coach? Well, you fired the coach, so that wasn't going to be a problem going forward. He cost too much? How much would you have paid to not be eliminated by the Minnesota teams he built specifically to fuck your shit up once ne left? Shit, just the extra revenue from not being eliminated in the first round offsets whatever salary demands he had. A terrible, inexplicable decision that continues to haunt them

The Lebron James hatred needs to be studied. People are not obliged to love him, but to hate him is crazy. It’s hard to pin down the hatred to one specific group. Trump and MAGA hate him because he’s used his platform to address important social justice issues like Black Lives Matter and educational equity. Michael Jordan fans hate him because he’s the first player since who has a legion of fans who argue that he’s better than Jordan and have some receipts to show.
