>Retarded Presti pays 50 million to a human stick,

I hope the thunder lose and they will lose next season/next year, what a retarded joke team, Chet was faggot everyone was asking to trade, they unironically COULD HAVE traded him to the Jazz and flipped him to get Ace Bailey and some picks,

WHY DID THE SUNS DO THAT
WHY DID THE THUNDER DO THAT

This was peak NBA. Notice: nobody flopping or trying to get fouls like a flailing faggot. Shaq put up 36 points and 20 rebounds and they still lost by near double digits.

>>149705537
If OKC wasn't retarded they could've done this to the Pacers and Nuggets rather than choking game 1 like retards and refusing to score at all,

Imagine having the best defense but the best defensive droughts and mental lapses,

thanks for exposing yourself, thats how I know this entire stat sheet is complete meaningless stupid bullshit
>>149705201
how does this stat even make sense and how the fuck is it being measured? Lebron has been in more game 7s in like a 5 year strecth than the warriors ever have throughout the entire 2010s to 2025

Wtf is this dumbass stat?

>>149705537
I saw some floppers flopping and some kobrick bricking. Shaq would've won that game if Kobrick hadn't sucked so bad.

>>149706016
People forget how defensively great that pistons team was. Prince guarded Kobe throughout that entire series. Just ask Reggie Miller how good defensively Prince was

NBA fact: the longest wingspan recorded in nba history was Manute Bol. Standing at 7'7", he had a wingspan of 8'6". The man recorded more blocks than points in his 10 year career

>>149716288
baby oil soaked hands typed this

>>149706091
Kobe and Shaq were both double teamed throughout the series because Karl Malone and Gary Payton couldn't shoot the meme. Pistons has a goated defense for their era, but that final Kobr/Shaw team was incredibly flawed in picking star power ring chasers over guys who actually fit around them. And it took until they got to the Pistons to get a team that had good defensive personnel and knew how to abuse the lack of illegal defense.

Reading all the reddit comments getting upset about Thunder maxing its 3 players is funny as hell. It's the nba equivalent of the "I don't consent" meme, kek

>>149717076
This is exactly what every said would happen all season. Thunder have a small window until everyone needs to get paid and then that will eat into their depth, forcing them to start losing players like Dort. How deep they are in a couple seasons when all the extensions kick in will entirely depend on how lucky they get with their draft picks, just like every other team now. There's no cheating the CBA.

Big difference being the wingspans
Bol's wingspan = 8'6"
Sharp's wingspan = 7'7"

>>149717618
forgot pic. I believe he was the first NBA player that could dunk without jumping. They actually made a rule because of Manute Bol: You MUST be in the air (be jumping) for a dunk

Copper Flagg
>5-20

I remember Wemby also struggling in summer league.

Excellent, I accept your admission of defeat and will add yet another empty skull to my collection of accepted concessions.

Luka just dropped an alltimer meme

Remember when the entire league shut down for months because an athlete in top tier physical condition got a slightly worse than usual cold?

>>149728851

why they not appreciatin the king?

>>149729643
have you seen what philly's summer league offense looks like without him?
>>149729664
great, Barnhizer was all over the place bullying the nets. I hope they'll be more patient with Topic than they were with Giddey because that's what he looks like.

Im sure the lakers and the fans would still love him if he took one for the team and cut his salary. Hes a billionaire.

>yfw it is more and more likely that james will be traded or bought out in the coming months
>yfw l*kers fans will cope by saying that doncic will at least sign an extension in about 2 weeks because he's super loyal while completely ignoring what loyalty did to him in dallas, and he also doesn't give a shit about not having any bird rights, which would allow him to get more money to use on important business such as making sure his new baby daughter gets to enjoy a life free of financial worry
>yfw you see the slow and steady state of decay engulfing this modern iteration of the l*kers and realize that the odds are great that they will be without both james AND doncic by this time next year since james wants out and doncic's player option kicks in after next season, and since he will have no bird rights, he will be free to sign with any team for the current maximum amount, leaving the franchise with absolutely nothing in his place

"it will be the greatest ever offseason" they said

>>149729720
They have a very small window to try to win with Kyrie, AD and Klay.
They didn't need to add a SG, they needed to fill the SF position with someone that will hustle and maybe do some nice things on office.

>>149729807
>>149729853

>>149730272
The world isnt ready for SG bron

Another Lebiitch moment it seems. How many more until he fucks off I wonder

>>149730124
maybe, I'd expect harper to be a superior jumpshooter from deep and a more natural point guard that can manipulate the defense in the half court better than any other rookie. i don't think anyone in this class will dominate in transition and in the open floor like vj, would be surprised if harper is as good guarding the ball as vj.

>>149730359
At absolute most we have 2 or 3 more years of him. With 1 and 2 being most likely

Ricky Rubio is fed up with modern ball
>The 34-year-old described locker room dynamics he found shallow. “In the locker room, you hear nonsense like: ‘What car do you drive?’ Are we really competing over that?” he questioned. “That won’t make me a better person.”

Rubio also spoke about his early years in Minnesota, during what he called the “YouTube era,” when he felt forced to build a character for the cameras. “I never fell in love with the culture or traditions,” he admitted. “They’ve turned the NBA into a show, into a business. They’ve left behind the love of basketball, and that’s also happening in Europe.”

>>149730614
Did it happen again or something lol? I thought he fell off a line scooter

>>149730627
people need start using context instead of hot takes. Simmons was elite at all aspects of bball except shooting. Rookie Simmons particularly since he wasn't mindbroken at all yet. Fultz was every bit of the all around scorer with good athleticism and good feel for the game, but for some reason after summer league came into camp with a fucked up shooting motion. Even then he managed to carve out a career somehow

>>149730587
LeSenile...

>>149730678
LeBron’s magnum opus 2016 ring is the greatest championship in history, KD and Curry teamed up to beat him after. How are his rings not way more valuable?

Final proof that Bitchell is secretly gay.

First half for the rookie in Miami but people here are talking about some literal who from Transton

>>149731207
he's honestly probably already good enough to be in somebody's rotation. He's just an unorthodox player who doesn't have the pedigree for teams to stick with him over projected cookie cutter players. He's a bowling ball in the lane in an era where only bigs and stars are allowed to do that

>>149731230
I know that you are secretly cheering for Boston this year so that they don't get a draft pick and so that when Tatum comes back you can say that doesn't make the team better.

>>149731146
Screens and drop coverage are nonquantifiable opinions, especially when Queta is a good switch defender and with Porzingis we had one of the worst screeners in the league.

Queta is Kornet-Lite. As a space eater and rim protector he is good in limited minutes.
TS%: 67.4 for Queta, and 68.3 for Kornet
FG%: 66.0 to 68.3
By distance 0-3 ft, 3-10 ft, 10-16ft
Queta: 59-36-04
Kornet: 73-23-03
Rebound % (O, D, T)
Queta: 11-19-15
Kornet: 15-16-16

Kornet was a little better, knew his role, and didn't make many mistakes as a 29 year old. At a deep position, he was the cut off line. Filling in for injuries and garbage time is a different role, but still produced Kornet-Lite results. Luke made a mini-leap after the all-star game and I hope consistent minutes will do the same for Queta.

We've already seen Queta start and get rotation minutes last fall when Porzingis was on one of his many injuries. When he had over 20 mpg, he shot less than 40% once, and he had 7 rebounds or more in 10 of those 17 games.

Garza and Williams have a college resume only. Hopefully Tillman will be different healthy and hopefully lighter. Niang will see some time at Center. We lost 4 players at C/PF , and only added 1 role player and 3 audition players

Remember when the whole world shut down and it kinda crashed the global economy and destroyed K-12 education and caused toilet paper shortages and then once the world governments bought enough of an untested experimental drug to dose every human on the planet and guaranteed big pharma their most profitable quarter of all time while blatant coercion to force people to take a "vaccine" that didn't actually prevent people from catching the disease they were vaccinated against so we all still had to wear masks everywhere?

Maybe Kyrie had the right idea and that's not something you'll hear me say very often

>>149705511
It’s not like they need a rim defender or anything, so yeah, just stock up on draft picks. They need them.

Seriously. Those two avoid each other like the plague whenever they play and I’m convinced it’s to kill any rivalry talk.

utah's team is terrible even by summerleague standards

Kobe was 26 when the Lakers traded a 31 year old Shaq to Miami behind his back. Is LeBron at 41 seriously throwing a tantrum because he didn't get a heads-up text that a minority stakeholder is becoming a non-controlling majority owner?

>LeMickey missed the playoffs then got swept and gentleman's swept the next three years

>>149732585
>when the Lakers traded a 31 year old Shaq to Miami behind his back
retard what the fuck are you talking about

>>149732585
LeBron at 40 is more important to basketball than Kobe ever was

>>149705537
lol

>>149732630
iirc kobe didnt find out about the trade until after it happened

why isn't bailey playing?

>>149732661
that's a load of horseshit, it was literally a him or me situation with both guys
kobe not only threw the finals against detroit, he was literally threatening to leave and talking with the clippers during free agency, and he didn't wanna play under phil anymore
shaq on the other hand wanted phil to stay and once the lakers didn't resign phil, he wanted out
everyone knew going into that offseason either shaq or kobe was leaving, and it ending up being the former

>LeBron at 40 is more important to basketball than Kobe ever was

Logic Trap time:
If the 2016 Warriors were the "greatest team ever" because of the record, and the record is the only remote "evidence" one could use to support anything, because nothing about their actual play off run, or stats were historically great, besides maybe that ONE game in the entire playoffs where Klay didnt suck offensively.
Then the next year 2017 67-15 warriors, and the year after that 58 win warriors, must have been an objectively inferior team that by all measures should have lost.

The reality actually, is that Lebrons team in 2016 was way more stacked in terms of names, all stars, awards, etc. But Lebron sucks and every single one of his teams never know how to play team ball because everything is centered around them.
So a shitty warriors team whos star player got injured earlier in the playoffs but people pretend he was "back" because he scored some points against one of the worst rated defensive bum ass team.
Not to mention the bogut injury, the draymond suspension, and an even more ridiculous curry foul out that to this day the refs should be SHOT AND KILLED for.

Despite all this. The warriors were still the better team and went up 3-1 until game 5 where draymond was suspended and wow...would you look at that, how convenient that both Lebron and Kyrie drop 40 points when warriors are losing a key defensive player for a SMALL ball team that relies heavily on switching.

Which allowed a momentum, among further refballing that ultimately won them the series.

Now. Escape that Logic trap. How is it that Lebron could beat the greatest team ever, and then lose the next 2 years to an inferior team? One of which couldn't even get 60 wins.

>>149733148
why wouldnt he

>>149733176
Oof. You didn't have to do him like that bro.

>>149733176

LEAFGOD...I-I kneel...

>>149733190
Curry wasn't just playing through one injury - he was playing through three at the same time.
You fail to mention Iggy's back injury, which is why Bron's FG% is 10% higher in that series compared to the previous Finals.
And yes. Dray got retroactively suspended for not punching Bron in the dick. That happened. They actually looked at the video after the game, saw him not punching Bron in the dick, and were like yep that's a suspension for a clinching game. That's totally legit and fair. Yep.

>>149733176

Thats not even the worst part. Have you ever had a moment where somebody, friend or not, doesnt matter. Shoves or pushes you, and pretends like they didnt just disregard you wellbeing. Something somebody might do in that situation is either push them back. Or "flick them off". I dont know how else to describe this colloquially other than to say it looks like swatting a fly with your backhand. Its basically an expression of dismissal at frustration or like "get away from me". When somebody is treated physically directly youll almost instantlt express a show of lesser force to get the attention of the person that ignored the effect of their actions on you. Or flick them off in annoyance. I dont know why human psychology does this but whatever

To me that's what it looked, like Draymond did, and it only looked like he attacked the balls because he was on the ground (from lebron putting him there) when he did the expression.

People must have just post hoc interpreted it otherwise because of the memes and narratives of him hitting steve adams in the balls.

People dont understand narratives because they're retarded, so they think because something can contain a "fact" means its not a narrative. But beyond getting into epistemology and how "facts" arent really real because they always have to be ordered and/or organized in an interpretable way by a SUBJECT.

Its the association of what happened with Steve Adams, to what happened with Lebron, that creates the story that people already were inclined (due to bias not evidence) to believe in. Even though the situations were neither equivalent (Lebron initiated contact) or even relevant (didnt hit)

>>149733293
this team is objectively worse than last year's

>>149733331
Yeah. Dray is given really strange, unusual treatment by the refs because he's Dray.
Like, they give him way more leeway than the average player to throw fits in response to calls or non-calls because they're literally terrified that he'll kill them if they T him up.
But then when he does anything remotely resembling violence they punish him twice as severely as anyone else because he's Dray.

We did our comparison of starting lineup and this nigga is gonna sit here and tell me that Cooper Flagg is better than Sengun. Keep in mind this is 3 weeks ago and Flagg hadn't even stepped on an NBA fucking court yet. Like it was bad enough when I had to deal with delusional Cowboy fans making the rest of us look bad but now I gotta brain dead retarded Mavs fans huffing copium saying Flagg is better than a 4 year vet coming off an all-star appearance without playing a single NBA game. Why are sports fanbases so fucking brain dead retarded? I'm not mad at people having optimism and hoping for the best but there is a huge difference between being delusional and being optimistic.

No it fucking wasn't. My god, I swear you zoomers never watched this shit. This was peak going outside playing as a kid, but the games were rarely fucking good.

Shit that finals in particular wasn't all that fun, it was just hilarious to see the Lakers Superteam full of chasers get BTFO by the best Defensive team. And Karl Malone was like 40 and their best player, so when he went down it lost them the series.

This guy went after Queen?

Wade has literally always been gay as hell. All of the most egregious tunnel fashion shit came from Wade starting that off.

That dude is trying to live the life he really wants through his kid.

LeBron is so weird. He literally has that in Cleveland. It's not like KD where he burnt every bridge and nobody's gonna give a shit. LeBron has an entire City that'll love him because he came back and won them a fucking ring and they're known for being a midwest city of chokers.

He was NEVER going to get that from the Lakers. And, he lost all of that when his stupidity killed the 2020 team because he wanted Westbrick for no fucking reason. His team was fucking injured in 2021, could've easily just came back in 2022, but dude wanted to rush another stupid thing and killed the Lakers for the rest of the decade.

Kobe won five rings with them. No shit, people (well the rare normal lakersfags) accepted that Kobe taking the max despite not doing shit but chucking again was for past successes.

Giannis needs to fucking leave. He won them a ring, this is how they repay him year after year.

Anyone watch this game?

Drake's gotta be the most feminine man of all time. I'm shocked he legit doesn't transition at this point.
