Remind me again how the fucking Mavs got Flagg?

>>149749248
he can't even hit FTs

>>149749323
They got him because he's an upgrade over Luka

Flagg is technically younger than Lebron was when he got to the NBA

>>149749467
retard the best player in the league is wardell, you dont know SHIT

>>149749385
He's over his peak, they should have gotten the version that negotiated a 3x43m and not the one that negotiated 2x25m

>>149749290
Caruso 2.0

broome and edwards look like absolute shit

Mavs won the trade, would you rather have 4 years + guaranteed free agency of a healthy young two way marketable American superstar or 2.5 unhealthy years and unrestricted free agency of a offense only Lithuanian all star no one cares about? Throw in an aging superstar in AD, Christie and a pick and it’s a no brainer

>>149749485
It's just that flagg was able to leave high school a year early (any HS prospect can if they take summer classes to meet graduation requirements. Marvin bagley was another notable early college enrollee). Thus he's ahead of schedule compared to most.

>>149749655
That's what they drafted him for

>>149749682
yeah but bron was drafted straight out of high school

Did someone say Angel Reese?

>>149749385
i love that the nba likes to deal directly with the moronic players instead of the players hiring legal representation for negotiations. hilarious shit and the players think it's for the best lmao. stern was a gangster and ive accused silver of being weak, but his manipulation skills are fantastic i cant deny it.

Topic looking a lot better now

We got Topic

Topic should be another Ginobili considering he's still only 19

>results from numbers on the board instead of espn

unwatchable, thanks morey

>>149749899
He is 6’9 (6’11 wingspan) and still growing with elite PG skills and handle, can play 1-5 (we had Ousmene Deing playing significant minutes at 5 for us last year when Chet/Hart were injured) us off the bench
Wait until the fucking playoffs

thunder will hold back topic's development to force the "sga" meme

>>149749899

I forgot Topic was 7 foot he plays like a guard

>>149750064
He was a 6’4-6’6 PG when he was winning Euroleague MVP, now he’s 7’1 playing the 4 like a true point

Not really. If they are completely and iutterly healthy, yeah, the Mavs looks better but that's a major "if": Kyrie won't play til March at the earliest, AD isn't called "street clothes" for nothing, he just had another major surgery (Lmao!!), Flagg is still a question mark (dropping 30 on g-leaguea ain't shit), and the Weat is as stacked as ever.
Meanwhile the Lakers have 10+ years of prime Luka, Ayton wrecking the pain (think Bynum vibes), LeBron motviated as ever OR traded for 2+ starter level players, and max cap space in '26-'27.
Future is bright in the short and long term

>Once again, the water heads of 4chan will cry and screech and angrily defecate because The Dallas Mavericks, undisputed winners of The Trade, instructed their blue chip, 2 way prospect to focus only on scoring as to put more of a highlight on his point scoring skills

I have already amassed a gathering of empty skulls that never had basketball brains to make for a mighty collection of concessions and I am here only to add more

>>149751247
His empty stats didn't help his team win tonight. Having the ball in his hands that much and not getting any of his teammates going is a capital offense. He's a black hole.

Everything you said applies to Luka in the finals. Flagg isn't going to be the first option, he's going to be Scotty Pippen, and will dominate once he's getting secondary defense coverages or not being doubled and blitzed, since he'll have AD and Kyrie's gravity.

Kind of crazy how Lebron basically bruteforced his way into being a "top 5" player by just being a dude that surrounds himself with better players that cover his weakness while he charges to the rim uncontested and if ever contested get a foul call, and 22 years in the league has allowed him to get a marginally better jumpshot so that everybody forgets how much of an actual garbage one dimensional basketball player he is as he stat pads because he touches the ball the most and every team hes on runs everything through him

yang's garbage he'll get like 4 minutes a game if they don't just dump him into gleague

>>149749385
Manleet is likely a bench player without the Rockets. Not sure if this makes him more qualified or less.

>>149754614

Yang has soft hands and finesse at the rim.

>>149754451
>>149754664

>>149754664
elite player in the nba confirmed

>serbian Jokic
>chinese Jokic

Jesus VJ was a way better pick than Harper

>>149754664
Its a tough call i think it was 2 steps, but another clip i watched of him he definitely traveled.

almost every spin move done in the nba is 100% a carry though. the ball should have to bounce in the middle of the spin before you face forward, but most retards just bring it all the way around or take liberties with how many steps you can take like here

I'm so tired of watching centers chuck threes. It's so ugly.

>Kyrie genuinely worked up over father question about Lebron

Was Kyrie always this sensitive? granted he left because he felt like second fiddle to Lebron and bailed him out in 2016, but to think this question upset him enough to leave the Cavs after??


https://youtu.be/lH6oQnSRkLQ?si=Fgs8D9CNXSn03X07

>>149754614
one jumpshot away from becoming the hakeem/jokic hybrid.

>>149754762
It's a super insulting question but in general Kyrie was never really all onboard with Lebron returning to begin with. He was a young, ascending star who had to take a backseat. It's probably very annoying and irritating being Lebron's teammate in general because everything revolves around him and he gets all of the credit

>>149754792
nigga what? why the fuck would you ever even put hakeem and jokic in the same category? hakeem didnt play bully ball (let me shove as much of my weight into people at the rim while being half a foot taller) but he also wasnt half as good a passer and actually played defense.

and if you mean a combination of the two...then yang footwork is not hakeem level lmao, not even close, hakeem also had a jumpshot, neither jokic (floater city) or yang do

Yang just hit his dome there

Flagg is winning roty he's a borderline all star player already

why are they making yang drive from the 3pt every time why don't they just run some high post shit

Yang might actually be the best player in this draft lmfao

Its just obvious that he's ready for the league

>>149754878
nobody knows how to throw an entry pass anymore and even if they did, guards hardly ever dump it into the post. It's something you don't really notice until you see guys like Edey or even rookie Wemby play

I've never seen Jokic jump that high...

Nice jam big buy. That's what we need from you. Take it to the bucket with force and authority. Also get him on those giannis roids.

50% Jokic, 50% Embiid

Yang is already better than Jokic

DERIK FUCKING QUEEN?
AGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

On a side note, it looks like Bouknight is ready for a second chance at the NBA

Dominating top high school players like Dybansa and then winning college player of the year were your class is the 2026 draft its pretty transferable

they’re literally terrified to go into the paint against Yang

>>149754878
he has 0 midrange

>>149754833
>It's a super insulting question but in general Kyrie was never really all onboard with Lebron returning to begin with

I gotcha anon, I even read about it, I can understand Kyrie POV now, it just sucked to see Kyrie look like that against Boston on the Mavs, and then the weird failed Brooklyn superteam before that, they were cursed, Kyrie didn't want the jab then injuries and Durant doing everything coming off an horrible injury

Over the past 2 nights I have become a Yung Hansen truther.

>presti found a hooper literally named youngblood
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Yang is good, but even he will kneel before year 3 Chetty

>>149755076
Luka Garza dominated in the post Yang needs to develop a shot and a floater to impress me

Yakunious will be top 3 rookie and you all not talking about him.

Very disrespectful to his ancestors turning it over like that.

Yang is beyond gassed. Dude is literally dead out there.

>>149754833
>He was a young, ascending star who had to take a backseat
thank god he proved us all wrong when he took the reins in his wildly successful stints as team leader/clear #1 in boston, then brooklyn, then dallas

Dylan Harper, VJ Edgecombe, Cooper Flagg are the players in this draft and Hugo Gonzalez

>>149755221
He needs to work on his conditioning for sure, but he's playing hard out there. Boxes out every possession, running in for the board every time a teammate's shot goes up

>>149754957
Yang won every Chinese MVP ever handed out

>>149755297
Jokic could never

>>149755297
Yang Bang

I'm guessing Philandrous Fleming Jr. wasn't fathered by his mother's husband

Liam McNeely is going to be a taller more physical JJ Reddick player that runs around screens

>>149754840
Why are u sperging out bro lmao. Neither Jokic and Hakeem were finished product coming into the league. Yang has the potential to be as good as them, by that I mean being virtually unstoppable like Yao was. But all those spins is going to kill his ankles, the Achilles' heel of tall people. So he needs to get a shot of some kind in a few years.

I want to see Yang play, but these summer league games are so bad.

Jokic is mini Shaq, Yang needs something to fall back on

>>149755325

one rebound in 15 minutes of play.

authentic serb® brand jokic usually has nearly 10 boards after the first quarter

is /nba/ leaving the bawb era and entering the chinese knockoff era?

Yang is not a knockoff, Yang is creating a new archetype. Jokic was just the prototype for Yang, much as Sabonis was the prototype for Jokic.

>>149755484
they told him to box out hard on his man or some shit and he's doing it autistically instead of just hunting for boards

westbrook still doesn't have a team...

if they unironically send lebron to my warriors im quitting this shit ass sport. warriors will never win a ring again. besides it doesn't matter that Curry wins a ring, if Lebron does too

Is Flagg basically the white LeBron? Any other players that people compare him to?

>>149755523
Yeah but Jokic shoots over 50% from the logo and just flips up shots that go in

Meal. I’ve been ill and haven’t eaten all day.

>>149755600
Lebron said he's like Kawhi because he gets to play with all those vets and greats. Obviously Jordan would've prefered to play against those greats because he isnt Lepussy who wants everything the easy way.

Yeah he looks good he'll probably be alright

Yang's going to have to develop a jumper and become a shot blocker because he's not Jokic

Genuinely the most egregious finals of all time. It is seriously not talked about enough just how absurd of a finals it was. Like a circus.
And im pretty sure this is the game Curry gets fouled out on too, with calls like this. I will never forgive this. But a grudge doesnt matter in a world that is moved by many, and in a world that forgets and narrativizes reality.

did I miss something or is there just a random leaf who shills his channel on here and dickrides the warriors all day now

Ltruth nuke… klay thompson changed the nba not steph curry

https://youtu.be/b7ufJ03_gPc?t=38m59s
Refs should be liable to be SUED over calls like this.

>>149756216
hes insane man, its midnight and hes seething about 2016

>>149756216
‘fraid so

>>149756159
Looks like gilbert arenas and nick youngs inbred twins

>>149756244
Guy on the left looks like a younger Al Horford, on the right looks like Thomas Bryant but with less of bitchy expression and longer face

I still remember the 2015 finals. The birth of the modern NBA and the antithesis of boomer basketball.

Klay is only 6'5 I thought he was 6'8
he's only a 2

>>149756268
So whats the synthesis of boomer ball and memechuck

>>149756258
your really into basketball players

>>149756277
Flopping on fouls and becoming free throw merchants.

>>149751208
No.
Now kill yourself Jeet.

>>149756302
cant you guys please stop calling everyone a pajeet

>>149756307
I mean, can they stop being Jeets?

>>149756268
That the one where a 2000s era fringe all star won Finals mvp right

>>149756202
This is like when Hulk Hogan came out to join the NWO

>>149756307
Then stop posting if youre a jeet

>>149756202
Jokic is already more inspirational than lebron and curry

>>149756323
>>149756342
its a bit over used now. before you would say GMS or something when someone gave an indication that they might be a jeet. it loses it's point when you call basically everyone a jeet

>>149756348
lol

>League sources tell The Athletic that Embiid still hasn’t returned to on-court basketball activities

Now, uh, eventually you do plan to have people who can actually play basketball on this basketball team of yours? Hello?

>>149756216
certainly looks that way. i been in a youtube loop of nba videos and forgot to play 2k. still not watching his shit lol

>>149756270
I swear NBA 2k has him at 6'8

we get called mutts everywhere we go bro i wouldnt worry about it

>>149756293
>Your really into basketball

I’ve been deep into researching, watching, and reviewing NBA games nonstop since the Thunder won the chip last month.

I was a big OKC fanboy, but when I saw that Twitter post from Shams, I was fuming. I fucking hate that they locked SGA, Dubs, and that 7-foot fag into dumb $50M+ max contracts. I’d actually be happy if they lose next year it's a slap in the face to the roleplayers who contributed more, especially since Chet missed 50 games and all of his rookie year due to injuries.

The team dumbass-ly dove into the second apron, and fans are defending it by saying rookies will cover everything, even though rookies need years to be clutch in playoffs. Thunder fans are delusional, and Presti doing this on a whim shows Oklahomas low education level.

>>149756441
Medical retirement coming soon

klay is a 4 time nba champion and hes smashing megan the stallion. oh and hes worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

>>149756529
>>149756441
>Philly's issue

They have to fucking waive the dumb fat piece of shit,

I blame the NBA for this anyways for cucking teams, Miami waived Bosh and now Bucks did the same with Lillard, get rid of the 300 trackter trayler faggot Embiid and noone will sign him anyways unless he'll accept a 10 dollar contract,

Him and George, it perplexes how 2 players who don't even play anyways and give no value do this shit,

is there a more disappointing big 3 than embiid-PG-maxey?

>>149756631
KD-Booker-Beal

the war against working rages on

>>149756569
shitxers were fooled with 34yo PG who somehow got his injury-free season after years even though he immediately shat himself in the playoff.

>>149755885
think guys ever slip em a little finger to throw them off their game

F

>>149756270
For years I thought he was 6’7, he was listed that way in 2k. Then all of a sudden he’s 6’5-6’6 at best

>>149756368
That shit is annoying, foreign posters have no real humor they get stuck in a bit for months at a time.

When is Lebeta gonna announce where he's gonna be traded to?

>>149756090
I dont get why people think kd was dissing mj

is this the downfall of black america

Why are blacks so zesty?

which team will trade for LeBron and why

>>149756920
nobody its just klutch media pulling some bullshit. now if lebron cut the umbilical cord from his son and didnt mind coming off the bench AND didnt want 50+ million a year, the entire league would want him.

>>149756920
Clippers, they're in the market for washed up stars

>>149757237
>opts in
>wants to leave
is bron retarded

>>149757261
see it doesnt make sense thats why i assume klutch media bullshittery trying to get a better deal etc

>>149757335
highly doubt the lakies are going to give bron another deal, they want to build around fatcic

>>149757377
luka doesn't want to extend though

>>149757401
accordign to whom

>>149757412
jokic's brothers

>>149757429
i think luka doesn't really care about ring chasing and will re-sign

>>149757401
depends upon how much value Luka puts in money. playing on the Lakers will be lucrative but you won't win much.

man i love bball but i cant watch these summer league games for than like 5 minutes

its so fucking ugly

>>149757973
yeah i dont bother either. youll create false narratives in your head about how good the players actually are, without realizing their game, bodies, etc, are going to change a lot when they actually play in the nba. i view it the same as watching college basketball. dont care at all about it.

>>149757989
ncaa is much more informative, it's still not fun to watch though

just GTFO already. fingers crossed

>>149758088
inb4 it's not NBA teams

>>149758097
my sources are telling me that maccabi tel aviv wants him to be the new face of the franchise

>>149757442
The biggest problem for him and the rest of his career is that he is a loyal man and since you can't trust Pelinka to build a team, his upcoming best years are fucked, lol.

>>149758175
he's already well acquainted with their front office from the sean combs parties

>>149758088
where could he even go? who wants to pay what hes asking for a 40 year old with one season left

>>149758193
desu I don't care. take his greedy ass anywhere. I think he wants to buy himself another ring and at the same time receive a salary of 50m+

I can't stand this piece of shit

>>149758230
You need to learn to appreciate LeBron before he retires

>>149758188
especially with free agency being dead these days and the lakers having barely any tradable assets, it doesn't look good

>>149758283
i can only loathe him as a player for one more year, why would i waste that opportunity when i can just appreciate him when hes done?
>>149758191
true, but theyre facing strong competition from chinese teams. this ones going right down to the wire

i think luka could well end his career with no rings or mvps but the best counting stats in modern league history

>>149758230
>I think he wants to buy himself another ring and at the same time receive a salary of 50m+
He's delusional. Can't have it both ways Lebron. You either have to ring chase at a vet min, or make your money in LA. Those are your only two options.

Cant believe im watching ishowspeed but he was in greece with giannis a few days ago. Maybe sengun will show up today

Taking an Edgecombe

Bye og and bridges. Knicks always knew when getting mike brown….

I would normally say that the Lakers should do anything they can to force Lebron out of LA but the sad truth is that his best friend is the biggest agent in the league so he will completely fuck them over if they do anything like that to him and his bum ass son. Klutch mafia is literally everywhere

>>149758905
they cant be losing both their 2 way wings thats insanity
>>149758375
no goon..

very undignified way for bron to go out but really, he overstayed his welcome.

brons last ring will be the first ever mickey mouse ring. think about that for a second lol

this bron fallout is insane and honestly out of nowhere like he played MVP level for a long stretch last season up until the groin injury

whats the big deal

>>149758988
>bron
>mvp level
this isn't 2012 buddy

>>149759006
no i swear there was a point last season where people had him in mvp talks

>>149759018
bron media and lakers fans aren't people

>>149759018
that was because the lakers had a good record. he wasnt top 5 player. sga kd jokic luka ad giannis curry were all better

lebabyoil

just surround luka with 3 and d wings, no centres because we need him to statpad rebounds. No secondary ball handlers either.

Lebron is winning a ring for new york

I wonder what offers he'd of had, no one besides Brooklyn had max cap space iirc. I guess it would have had to of been a sign and trade with LA.

Bam Adebayo is MJ approved

>>149762043
nets didn't have max space either, but who with measurable brain activity (i.e., not rob pelinka) is giving max money to a 40 year old?

obviously ring #5 wasn't as important as the bag, but is it too much to ask a guy to take his money and shut up? emphasis on the shut up part? no, instead we're gonna get an entire summer of his faggy passive aggressive "press releases"

>>149762007
Did everyone get injured again?

>>149762213
I agree LeBron isn't worth a max at this age, but he wouldn't have signed for anything less and eventually someone would have made space for him

>>149762205

LeBron James dedicated an hour-long TV special to his decision to abandon his hometown team, then promised his new fans eight championships, delivering only two, getting outplayed in a Finals by Jason Terry and getting shut down by JJ Barea along the way.

>>149762625
That's cool. MJ got suspended for gambling.

>>149762676
That's cool.
MJ won six rings and six FMVPs in 15 seasons.

>>149762702
Nice. Now show his competition.

>>149762726

>>149762735
oh no no no no no bronbros we just got btfo

>>149762735

>>149762735

kek, never again will the "MJ was guarded by Jeff Hornacek" argument be taken seriously in /nba/.

JJ Barea would be all NBA in the 90s

>>149763034

>>149763034
that the best you can come up with bro
really

>>149762735
Barrea is one of, if not the greatest pound-for-pound NBA players ever.

>>149763093
>Barrea
Who?

>>149763093
>if not the greatest pound-for-pound
This nigga putting JJ Barea in the same class as Allen Iverson.

>>149762735
Why does nobody ever show that Barea flopped on this play? It's only the image without context. Jordan got locked down by 5'3 Muggsy Bouges btw.

>>149763153
The point with the Barea thing isn't a single isolated play. There were many times throughout the series where LeBron had Barea 1on1 and didn't try to score on him.

>>149763148
That would be an insult to Barea. If I was an NBA champion I wouldn't want to be compared to a ringless bum who couldn't shoot 45% from the field throughout his pathetic career.

>>149763176
You realize LeBron was told to throw the series right?

>>149763178
This box score watching nerd doesn't know hoops and doesn't hoop.

>i-i-i-it's just that LeBron lacks the character to not throw a series
Wow. Now THAT is a GLOWING endorsement.
The absolute state of Bronsexuals.

>>149763194
I do hoop. And even if I didn't, I would've had the same amount of rings as Allen Iverson. Let go of your Nostalgia. AI is the most overrated player aside from maybe Rose.

>>149763148
Iverson was 3 inches shorter than Iverson with an average build. Rlite first step, quick release, hard-nosed defender. Yes, he is in the discussion with Iverson for greatest pfp player ever. Along with Eddie House.

>>149763228
>Nostalgia
Why did you capitalize the N?

>>149763243
Barea* was 3 inches shorter

>>149763243
Barea made zero all-star teams.
He is not in the same conversation.

>>149763245
Stop being a pedant

>>149763282
Answer the question. Why did you capitalize the N?

>>149763052
Look at this repugnant Homo habilis looking yellow sclera mongoloid monkey fuck

>>149763261
>Barea made zero all-star teams
Ring check? Jeff Teague made an All-star team...
>>149763291
That wasn't me. You're the one getting caught up on a capitol letter and ignoring his argument.

>>149763245
Because auto correct capitalized it.

>>149763261
Allen Iverson has zero championships. Suddenly ring culture doesn't matter?

>>149762735
This image brings out so much mental illness in Bronsexuals that they start saying that Bron pulled a Black Sox scandal like it's a good thing. Hilarious.

>>149763228
>hating on AI because he doesnt have a ring
Ive got AI over LeBron all time. I value skill, not shameless ring chasing

>>149763090
Dont you have another game 7 to lose Chokic. Reminder he took all of 9 shots and had 5 turnovers in that blowout and the season before he blew a 20 point lead at home to a 20 year old after attempting to aura farm

Jokic should not have won MVP in 2024

thing about iverson is that he only bad teams want him

>>149763326
>Because auto correct capitalized it.
That's a lie. It's not at the beginning of a sentence and it's not a proper noun. Auto correct would not capitalize that.
I don't think you was educated.

>JJ Barea would be all NBA in the 90s

>>149763326
>>149763375
Either he's lying and he's just an idiot, disqualifying his opinion, or he's a phoneposter, disqualifying his opinion.

>>149763350
I'm not hating on AI because he doesn't have a ring. I'm hating on AI because his career was a failure and people here think he's some sort of GOAT because they idolized someone who was a manlet like themselves. He's also a chucking faggot who couldn't shoot over 45% if his pathetic life was on the line

>>149763361
frfr he robbed it from fupa

>>149763326
He was the 7th man on the roster. You're being obtuse, as a cope

>>149763375
>>149763403
It being capitalized or not is irrelevant to the fact that you know what nostalgia is and understand how he was using it in the sentence

>>149763375
>>149763403
You can't argue against my points so you find any reason to discredit them. Literally "minor spelling mistake" meme. Except it wasn't a spelling mistake. It was a capitalized letter. But funny to see suddenly ring culture doesn't matter when it's not for LeBron huh?

>>149763438
I would rather have Barea on my team than Iverson. At least Barea knows his role and plays it perfectly. He doesn't shoot my team out of games with his low IQ.

>>149763420
Iverson was sixth in the league in VORP in his MVP season.
It's not like the dude was completely inefficient.

Remember when Allen Iverson took the most shots on an Olmypic team with Duncan, LeBron and other greats and got the bronze? If he wasn't on that team they would've likely had gold.

>>149763463
>rather have Barea on my team than Iverson. At least Barea knows his role and plays it perfectly. He doesn't shoot my team out of games with his low IQ.
Barea also plays real defense

is Yang the real deal? does he haven Heaven's Mandate? Will he be the first Basketball Emperor?

>>149763463
JJ Barea's highest VORP was 1.3.
Allen Iverson had 12 seasons with a higher VORP than 1.3.
They are not in the same conversation.

>>149763511
He's going to be incredible, I'm excited

>The Mavericks are shutting down Cooper Flagg for the remainder of Summer League, per @TheSteinLine
well that's boring

>>149763482
But he was. Even if he had one decent shooting season, his entire career is failure after failure. His career highlight is stepping over a player in a series he would get gentleman swept. Without that what would he have? Crossing Jordan? He wasn't even the best ball handler ever. Kyrie destroys him in hay regard. The only thing he's the "GOAT" at is having losers idolize him for being another manlet loser.

>>149763420
I do agree his career was largely a failure but I admire his skill and determination as a player

>>149763519
Didn't you call me a box score watcher earlier now you're bringing up VORP? Barea has a ring and financial security. Same can't be said got Iverson.

>>149763510
Allen Iverson and JJ Barea both played for 14 seasons.
Iverson had 38.1 defensive win shares. Barea had 10.1.
Iverson had a -0.2 career DBPM. Barea had a career -1.4 DBPM.
Your arguments are not supported by objective data.
>>149763553
>>149763519

So it's agreed that VJ is and will be better than Harper, right?

Best nba player- canadian
Best rapper- canadian

Earth does spin a lot

>>149763463
I'd take over Bruce bowen over bron, so what

>>149763594
My arguments are supported by wins though. Barea is a winner. AI isn't.

>>149763553
>He would get gentlemen swept
That wasn't a gentlemen's sweep. A gentlemen's sweep is when the home team goes up 3-0, loses game 4, then wins game 5 on their home court to close the series.
It anmoys me that any and every series that ends 4-1 is now called a "gentlemen's seeep". A true gentlemen's sweep has a very specific set of conditions.

>>149763511
Yang's gonna take a hot minute to develop, but expect him to be chinese Sengun

>it's a good thing that LeBron threw a Finals
>JJ Barea was better than Allen Iverson
Holy shit this thread is comedy gold.

>>149763594
You can't use "objective date" between players with vastly different roles and team expectations

>>149763625
Bruce Bowen is a good roleplayer like Barea. Difference is LeBron proved he can win as first option. AI can't win at any option because he will force himself to be first option even if he goes 4/24 in a game.

>>149763661
So what you're saying is that Iverson was a starter and Barea was a bench warmer?

>>149763615
BASED

>>149763635
>he wasn't gentleman swept because I changed the definition
Kek.

>>149763683
Iverson should've been a bench warmer. Maybe his teams would've won more. The 2004 Olmypic team sure would've won more.

>>149763707
>Iverson should've been a bench warmer.
So you're confirming that Iverson was a starter and JJ Barea was a bench warmer.
I accept your concession.

>>149763632
Pretty sure AI has a high career win % than Barea so im not sure what your argument is here unless it has to do with 2011 and Dirk carrying

>>149763361
is that 23/24 or just 2024?

Reminder Iverson was RIGGED into the 2001 finals to begin with. The Bucks were the better team but Stern wanted the underdog chucker in for ratings. This guy talks shit about LeBron while slurping the dudes Stern rigged countless games for. Stuck in his nostalgia.

>>149763707
>>he wasn't gentleman swept because I changed the definition
I didn't change the definition, that's what a gentlemen's sweep is. Iverson lost the series 4-1: but he was not gentlemen swept.

>>149763635
The mainstream media refers to any 4-1 series as a gentleman's sweep. So, that's what a gentleman's sweep is.

>>149763615
We out here

>>149763721
There's no concession. You want me to deny AI as a starter? You can come off the bench and be a better winner than a starter. People coming off the bench know their role. They don't force their shots and lose games due to this like AI.

>>149763780
>There's no concession.
But there was sweaty.

>>149763762
I'm afraid that they are speaking in ignorance.

>>149763763
does he not find it awkward wearing that flag when he's not from there

>>149763741
Barea has a winning % of 54% and a ring
AI has a winning % of 51% and no ring

One is a winning player, the other isn't.

>>149763803
Shai was born in Toronto Canada

>>149763829
The play of career backups has very little to do with their career W-L stats.

>>149763789
I guess there was a concession. You made a concession by refusing to make arguments and just claim that I was the one who made a concession. Changing the conversation is a concession from you.

>>149763853
yeah but seriously though

>>149763669
Bron can win on stacked rosters, barely. But you're better off without him than with him

>>149763857
It's a team sport. Teams wouldn't get far without good back-ups. Good benches are far more important to winning than superstars who just chuck and don't play defense like AI. AI is just a black Tyler Herro.

>>149758988

>I got Bronsexuals to argue that throwing a series is a good thing and that JJ Barea was better than Allen Iverson
I won the thread. I won /nba/.

>>149763829
54%? He has 379 wins over 831 games played

>>149763876
That is serious. You're a bong so you'll never understand what makes a canadian.

>>149763912
Sad life

AI is a perfect example that people don't care about winning when it comes to discussion. It's just about nostalgia and which players they liked when they were a kid.

>>149763961
i'm more canadian than him and i've never been further west than swindon

>>149763912
I'm not really much into the LeBron debate. I just really don't like people saying Allen Iverson was even close to top 3 all time SG.
