Bob Pettit, the NBA’s first Most Valuable Player in 1956 and the first player in league history to reach the 20,000-point plateau, died Wednesday at 93, the Basketball Hall of Fame announced.Drafted No. 2 in 1954 by the then-Milwaukee Hawks, the 6-foot-9 Pettit was Rookie of the Year in 1955 and a two-time league MVP — in 1956, the first in NBA history, and again in 1959. He earned All-Star honors 11 times (every season he played) and was named to the NBA’s 25th, 35th, 50th and 75th anniversary teams. Throughout his Hall of Fame career with the Hawks — first in Milwaukee, then in St. Louis — Pettit averaged 26.4 points and 16.2 rebounds per game. The power forward took the most pride in rebounding. Only Wilt Chamberlain (22.9) and Russell (22.5) had higher rebounds-per-game averages than Pettit.In 1958, Pettit led the Hawks to their lone NBA championship, clinching the crown with a 50-point performance in Game 6 against the Celtics, the first 50-point game in NBA Finals history. It was the only time Boston, led by Russell, didn’t win the league championship from 1957 to 1966.“Probably as fierce a competitor as (has) ever played,” Boston Celtics legend Bill Russell once said of Pettit.Pettit took the Hawks to NBA Finals appearances in 1960 and 1961, though they couldn’t topple Boston again. He teamed with future Hall of Famer Lenny Wilkens to lift St. Louis to the postseason three additional times in the ’60s. But the franchise never again reached the special heights of ’58.old >>157794404

>>157885372He's embarrassed at how his career went down and how he underachieved and let his talent go to waste and now he's trying to do everything he can to shift public opinion rather than just be satisfied with the good things he did.
>>157884801Kev so sensitive to this shit lmao

So glad to see Pablo exposing this league. What a joke Adam Silver turned the NBA into. Once he exposes how the refs rig games, I hope I never see another Adam (((Silver))) press conference again except when he gets fired
>>157885372history revisionism is out of control, and it's 100% due to lebum and his paid marketing team
>>157883834F
For you nigs that have been into 2K for many years, when did the games officially start being shit? Talking just from a gameplay perspective
>>157888510>Once he exposes how the refs rig gamesThey will fucking kill him if he tries this. We all know it happens, of course, but actually exposing it would kill the league and there's way too much money sloshing around. Stern had people killed for way less than blowing the lid off the reffies, and while Silver doesn't have Stern's balls he's even more money-grubbing.

Shams>The Memphis Grizzlies have waived D’Angelo Russell, sources tell ESPN. With Memphis needing to trim its roster, this frees Russell up to potentially land somewhere before the start of the season.
>>157894004Forgot this guy was still in the NBA

>>157893246>I hate my fellow wytpipo, please like me!The self-hating white male thing is so cringe. Who is he gonna play for the SF and PF other than Jake and Sandro? Grimes as SF is fine if they wanna go small once in a while. But Looney is a C, Carr is a rookie, Vando is always out and does nothing on offense, Sexton is a PG, the rest aren't good enough to be starters.
BRONNY JAMES TO THE RESCUE
There is absolutely nothing Adam Silver can say if you ask him why the season hasn't already started. Literally waiting for nothing
>>157894004Funny how he was getting DWade comps during the draft
Safe to say the streets wont forget Nets D'loRest in peace
If D'lo is willing to accept a vets min, my Minny Wolves will take him.
Time to inject rice to your veins and play in China, D'Lo.

>>157894825Ray Allen? More like Ray Alien, he's gettin deported.

>>1578961732025 OKC and 2024 Boston sweeps this btw
>>157896173idk some of those guys were basically aged out when they won it. If they dont age into the 20s its a good team
>>157896246lmao fraid not. Chet and KP too skinny
>>157896249Just Gasol and Ibaka. Even then a Siakam, OG, Kawhi frontline is better than most recent champs
>>157896008Bob Cousy was a real one>Cousy was well-known, both on and off the court, for his public stance against racism, a result of his upbringing in a multicultural environment. In 1950, the Celtics played a game in the then-segregated city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and teammate Chuck Cooper—the first African-American in NBA history to be drafted—would have been denied a hotel room. Instead of taking the hotel room, Cousy insisted on travelling with Cooper on an uncomfortable overnight train. He described their visit to a segregated men's toilet—Cooper was prohibited from using the clean "for whites" bathroom and had to use the shabby "for colored" facility—as one of the most shameful experiences of his life.[75] He also sympathized with the plight of black Celtics star Bill Russell, who was frequently a victim of racism.[76]
>[Scotto] Just In: Kon Knueppel suffered a left hamstring injury and Grant Williams suffered a right hamstring injury during offseason on-court activity. The Charlotte Hornets say both players will miss their preseason games and be re-evaluated during the first week of the regular season. lmao

>>157889467PG: Kyrie - ShooterSG: Christie - ShooterSF: Flagg - ShooterPF: PJ - """Shooter"""C: Lively/Gafford - Non shootersWouldn't be surprised if they go with 3 guards and then Flagg at PF just to get more shooters out there. And then trade PJ. Whoever can learn to meme shoot from Risacher, Marshall, PJ, Caleb Martin, Aldama, etc. will instantly steal the starting spot.
>>157896327ahahahahahaha fuck the hornets
>>157896327lamelo gonna play 82 games lmfao
>>157894505No he wasn't. In college he was known for flashy passes and shooting and his athletic limitations were known. Harden/Ginobili was his ceiling.
>>157894004How the fuck did his shooting fall off so quickly? Did he just stop practicing and double up on weed smoking?
>>157896342there's no other explanation
>>157896634>team with lebum, who allegedly makes his teammates better (literally 0 proof)>career instantly comes to an endmany such cases
>>157897060>had back to back years with his best 3 point shoot % with the Lakers>game falls off a cliff year 3>continues to be just as bad the next 2 teams
he made 180 million over his career, thats like 90 million after tax. 29 million after being a weirdo nog.

From what I understand, they are tens of millions apart. They're not close.

KK vs Cooper is gonna end up like Lebron vs Carmelo

luka looking slim and fresh. he about to have a killer season
Jordan only has 11 All-NBA selections, LeBron has 21 All-NBA selections... End of discussion.
Mavs signed Dwight Powell lmao
>>157898797slim luka is sissy luka. he was good when he was on the mavs and had some bodyweight to throw around. just look at how his rebounding numbers have fallen off since he lost weight.

>>157912158I said the 76ers, you're the one who mentioned LebronFAGGOT.
I need Wemby's pussy in my bbc~
LeBron didn't need Bosh or Kevin Love. They got through the 2012 playoffs with Bosh missing 9 games that year and in game 7 of 2013 Finals he had 0 points. It was basically LBJ/Wade versus Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Kawhi. They couldve won without him. And in the 2016 Finals K-Love faked an injury when Cavs went down 0-2 and LeBron and Kyrie still won game 3 by 30 without him.
Philly was not even taken seriously until LeBron signed?42 years old!GOAT!
>LeBron didn't need Bosh
>>157912784>all of lebum's hall of fame teammates were actually garbage, because it's just so easy to make the hall of fame in the sawftest era ever, which lebum didn't even dominate intrvke
>>157914571Imagine being the #7 overall pick and 2 teams already gave up on your ass. Dude must be straight ass and not even trying to improve his game.
>>157914625He’s too little
>>157914806LJ easily
>>1579145712024 draft is easily the worst ever
>>157914768Don't matter. If you are drafted that high and the team gives up on you after a single year, it means you ain't trying. They knew you were smol going into it
>no one on /nba/ even noticed the site was down for two hours
>>157915954lol real as fuark...mnba is...dead
Dwayne Wade should have disciplined his son
>>157916509D Wade is based for supporting his child, untlike Anthony Edward’s, whos a deadbeat father with l5 kids he doesn’t care for but nba fans worship him, and he’s homophobic. It’s henious.
I know it’s the off season, but it’s kinda sad how far /nba/ has fallen. Deadass getting 1 post every two hours sometimes… and the posters that do post are lowkey retarded.
>>157911301>No Dolph Schayes, no Billy Cunningham, no Bobby Jones
>>157883834
>>157915095There’s good role players but a lot of the 1st seem like steals in the 2nd round
>>157917024wade sacrificed his son after him and lebum lost to dallas and all he got was two rangs and a statue of the demon that owns his soul for it
The pelicans seem like they should be a better team than they are every year just judging them by their parts
>>157903047That must be why the NBA gets fraction of the viewership
>>157919721>180x234
>>157920069that's advanced technology for greece
Basketball is better when it’s more structured like football and they actually call plays unlike the iso ball era of the 90s and 2000s
>>157897220He grew while in college. He was 6’7 in college then at the pre draft he was 6’9. Maybe he’ll be another Giannis
>>157919987You need to reevaluate their parts then.
imagine staring at a dead 180x234 res picture like some caveman discovering fire for the first time absolute smoothbrain behavior>>157920069are u actually legally blind or just pretending to be retarded for attention like what is this garbage
An NBA scout on Ja Morant:“He’s got a bad knee, doesn’t really work on his physical fitness, I doubt that he’s all of a sudden become an elite-level shooter, and he’s small. So you have that, you’ve got a bad defender who’s a small guard who can’t shoot, who physically is unfit, paired next to a small guard who’s a bad defender and who can shoot [in Lillard].”
>>157925093they traded him for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray.I'd have taken the risk on Ja for that.
It is absolutely hilarious that LeBron IS NUMBER ONE in every statistical category in NBA history and yet people will still say somebody else is better.
>>157919721is this for ant?

>>157920366I agree with the first part but if you’re implying that basketball is better now than it was in 20-30 years ago you’re out of your mind. Go watch some 90s jazz or 2000s sprurs and how they played. Players had clearly defined roles and they actually ran sets and concepts on offense instead of what you get now which is some mutt freak like lamelo dribbling the air out of the ball 1v1 and then chucking a stepback meme on 90% of possessions
Is 2K11 really the greatest basketball game of all time?

On home court....its FUCKING OVER.
Joel Embiid’s PPG average every season he’s played in the NBA:2016-2017: 20.2 PPG2017-2018: 22.9 PPG2018-2019: 27.5 PPG2019-2020: 23 PPG2020-2021: 28.5 PPG2021-2022: 30.6 PPG (scoring title)2022-2023: 33.1 PPG (scoring title)2023-2024: 34.7 PPG2024-2025: 23.8 PPG2025-2026: 26.9 PPGNever averaged less than 20 PPG.
6-0 IS NOT A COMPLETE GOAT ARGUMENT. Robert Horry: 7 championships Bill Russell: 11 championships Sam Jones: 10 championships So are they automatically greater than Jordan?Of course not.Because rings are PART of the conversation — not the entire conversation. I judge the WHOLE player.And my GOAT is LeBron James.

In the eight years with the Lakers, LeBron has played 50 less games and 1000 less minutes than SGA. LeBron has over 1000 more rebounds, Almost 2000 more assist, 300 more three-pointers, And 50 more triple doubles than SGA. But only 1000 less points than SGA. Stop hating on this man’s greatness and embrace it.

>>157947565Genuinely what the fuck is this guys problem?
>>157947726The pistons' initial offer was $190 million at the beginning of summer and now they've upped it by $10 mil so his agent's doing something right
gaylen duren got betrayed by his gf for that fat livestreamer, then his franchise also betrayed him, so he's done bein betrayed.pretty simple to understand.
Fun guy is back
>>157947565????
>>157948198Reborn James

>>157948198no swag at all....
>>157947565Same agent as tari Eason by the way. You can figure out what race he is.
so Duran is not signing because of the "dont get fat if we give you 200 million dollars" clause?idk why not just trade him for the fat fuck in new orleans who signed his 'dont fucking get fat if we give you money" contract
>>157948462Hes either retarded as fuck or has a massive ego thinking its "disrespect". He hit the jackpot being offered 200 million after that terrible playoffs, he needs a reality check

Fullcourtpass@FullcourtpassLeBron James planned on joining the Knicks but didn’t due to expected backlash after they won the Finals"I had visions of playing in Madison Square Garden and finishing my career in the Garden. One of the best places I've ever played. I think it's the No. 1 arena in the world, as far as for a basketball player. But after they beat San Antonio, I was like, 'Hey, I can't.' I couldn't do it. Y'all wouldn't have let me lay that down, at all. But much respect to the Knicks, obviously. An unbelievable team, unbelievable players. Shout out Jalen Brunson. I love that guy, he's unbelievable. But, yeah, I'm happy where I'm at and I'm looking forward to it."(Via @mcten)fucking faggot.
>>157949144LeBron must really be the GOAT because no matter what he does he gets criticism

The Clippers found a partially torn Achilles in Brandon Ingram's foot after his surgery. Brutal. (@TomerAzarly)
>>157949144Your GOAT wouldn't join a team he wanted to be on at age 42 with nothing to prove because he was afraid people would send him mean tweets?
>>157949324He wouldnt be though. He isnt in his prime and he isnt ring chasing, he has rings. Not living out your dream of playing in the garden because he would get razzed on the internet is bitch behaviour.

I think that it's kind of dumb that the same players have to play both defense and offense in a game. They should introduce a new format where for each quarter one team plays only offense and one only offense and the players are different each time.

honestly as a man that fishing chip is pretty prestigious. Imagine being able to tell other dudes youre the best fisher in the world. Boss shit.
there are way more interesting things to talk about than some dude obtaining his lifelong healthcare and pension who's been through elite media training.

You retards think Ben Simmons cast a line in his fishing championship? His fishing championship is like Mark Cuban's 2011 NBA championship, or Michael Jordan's Daytona 500 victory.
