Fuck Chris Paul.

Yo, watch superman. It’s goated

Chris Paul is a good player

Im kind of what one might call "based"

Ace out tonight but Harper should be playing

Nice, I'll post in this one since there isn't a faggot BABB as the OP.

Chris Paul is the second greatest PG of all time behind Faggot Johnson btw

>>149792117

>>149792183
Mondadan is the day the manga comes out

Lebron will get traded to Dallas.

Philly should just pay me 50m a year instead of Paul George. I can NOT play basketball at least as good as him, if not better. And my skills waving a towel around on the bench are second to none

Sixers were cooked last year
now they're burnt to a crisp

>>149792289
The Lakers do not want to take back ANY contracts that go beyond the 2025-26 season in a LeBron James trade, per @DanWoikeSports

Only the Clippers and Heat can currently send out $50M+ worth of expiring deals

(h/t @APH00PS)

Furphy just ended Noa Essengue's career before it even began
Man, I still can't believe the Pacers lost. They should have played even more of their bench.

>>149792203
early worst post of the thread award nominee

>>149792372
lmao this picture

>>149792134
PG got a 200 million dollar bag and said fuck this joke of a league. Miller was right to call him GOAT.

That's one hoe ass nigga

too much avra in this photo

>>149792529
i dont want to hear anything from that "thats not a good shot" swindling loser even remotely related to basketball.

Vamos Hugo

>>149792543
The Eagles being good has been an abomination in the world of sports.

Pg is a fraud but can we stop pretending the trade 6 years ago was considered bad? Pg was a 2 way superstar and signing him got KAWHI. Nobody really gave a shit about SGA until 2023. Maybe 2022. The guy had a nice regular season and some cool plays against the warriors. Nobody had him as a future mvp. Stop this "real ones knew from day one". No you fucking didnt.

>>149792622
The trade was fine at the time.
The Philly signing in FA is pretty indefensible.

imagine saying you like something and people just give it to you

>>149792622
real ones knew from day one

>>149792117
I see a faggot in this image.

>>149792675
how is xhe coping with his one and done ring

League is trying to push lebron and westbrook and cp3 out the league like they did melo and dwight. The nba is a fucking joke. None of these youngbloods are stars and they never will be.

>>149792712
>None of these youngbloods are stars and they never will be.
ant is

>>149792618
I would normally agree, but literally any outcome was better than the Chiefs threepeating. The tears of bandwagon faggots sustains me

wait is shai really gai?? why doesn't he just join the raptors? they're the gayest team

>>149792776
the ref bias towards the chiefs is comparable to ref bias towards the thunder. makes you think.

>>149792789
He's not

>>149792622
nah, i knew that OKC was fleecing them hard from the jump because i've ALWAYS known that paul george was a complete fraud and i'm not gonna pretend i was as clueless about it as you were you filthy casual.

No one wants Ben Simmons but Denver would've picked him up if he wasn't a faggot and taunted Jokic all those times. Tough shit you fucking faggot

>>149792806
he seems so zesty tho. like KAT

>>149792712
Westbrook's inability to make layups will push him out of the league. If you have no midrange shot, not 3 point shot and you can't dunk at point blank range either what fucking good are you?

Westbrook will retire ringless and he did it to himself. If he was just baseline competent enough to provide like 20 minutes of not being ass per game the Nuggets maybe squeak by the Thunder and instead he was out there trying to make decisions in mid-air and bricking wide open shots at the rim like the incompetent retard that he is. He's an active liability. They didn't even want to play him by the end. Time to go before he embarrasses himself further and ends his career on the bench averaging 1 minute per game because that's all he can do at this point

>>149792806
Why these niggas always marry a short white woman?
There are Cameron Brinks out there.

>>149792712
Carmelo is a ringless bum and every player you listed eclipses him. That overrated bum is only loved by "the hood" or whatever the cope is. Honestly a high tier role player from the average contender is better than him

>>149792806
she's mid asl

>>149792799
Not even joking, the difference between the 2 leagues is that the NFL recognized everyone hated it so they stopped doing it and everyone told the NBA they hated it and the NBA was like "we will never, ever not manufacture the outcome stop noticing things" There's a reason why the NFL brutally mogs the NBA in every metric

>>149792806
I'd watch their sex video but I wouldn't pay for it

>>149792836
Celtics should sign him, fuck it

>>149792836
Why would anyone want a guy that doesnt shoot the ball and doesnt play defense anymore

>>149793011
Did Shitmons stop playing d as well now?

>>149792988
MJ on Mind the Game when?

>>149792117
AVRA NVKE

>>149793011
He would be a great bench piece but even depthless nuggets don't want him

>>149792182
Skill issue

>>149792976
Celtics should definitely sign him as a big.

Matas gets up

>>149792099 (OP)
>horse competition
They should do this for the all star game

the raptors are the gayest team to ever exist. from top to bottom, to the fans

>>149793031
Never

the raptors are gay

>>149793143
a bunch of raptors players getting fucked by horses?

>>149793143
they did. like most things concerning modern day players, nobody took it seriously.

>>149792117
Fraudulent *

>>149793143
Modern players won’t do it in fear of their ego being hurt. Same reason why we won’t get a 1v1 in the all star game

I kind of like Buzelis better than Cooper Flagg as a player

>>149792117
This faggot isn't respected by anyone.

lmk

kek walsh wanted to kill that bawb

>>149792134
Morey will sit on his fat ass until the last minute to do anything and it’ll be too late by the time he makes a move and the sixers wont have enough time to gel the roster together into a polished competitive group. It’s the same shit every year.

>>149793314
What can Morey do at this point?
No other team in the NBA will touch PG with a 10 foot pole.

By boy Hugo struggling to understand what he can do at this level

>>149793283
This guy digs tunnels filled with soiled mattresses

If Buzelis could shoot he would be a more athletic Dirk

>>149793364
Ainge will take him if you attach a frp and 10 srps

>>149793383
I don't know what he's doing. He's young but i thought he was a hybrid point guard with his understanding coming up

>>149792203
Is it true it's anti-israel? Danny wolf and ben saraf probably won't enjoy it (because they're a bunch of inbreds)

>>149793287
Why does this tranny jeet always yap about bawbs?

>>149793485
cute

>>149793437
He desperately needs to focus on mid range stop and pop, and floaters. He can kind of get past some guys but then can't really finish. His dribbling doesn't get anywhere but into situations that he can't escape from unless he gives himself those mid range escape routes.

In reality if he was playing with Celtics pro's maybe they stretch the floor, he can get past a guy and find a three point shooter.
This doesn't really tell the whole story. But he would benefit greatly from having those tools.

>>149793485
Damn Northwest Territories really has the weap cord in shambles cause this ain’t even him.

Right now Buzelis is a decent player he just needs to develop his skills more. Flagg is much more of a complete player at this point and he's 18 where Buzelis is 20 so I would take Flagg over him

>[Broussard] Sources: Cuban is beside himself. Driving around downtown Dallas begging (thru texts) Jordan's family for address to DeAndre's home

>>149792712
uncs haven't won shit in years. They are already irrelevant

>>149793700
kek, these niggas retarded

>>149793700
Nobody even mentioned Northwest Trannitories. Very suspect you bring xir up out of nowhere.

>>149793809
And yet still, no one gives a fuck about the new generation. Jokic should be a superstar that attracts everyone, but he bores instead. No one likes sga and his homo lust free throws. I’ve been watching basketball since the 90s, there were always plenty of big stars to replace the old ones when they retired. Never seen anything like this, if Flagg or someone else in the draft doesn’t become the new big thing the nba is cooked. 2nd tier stars like Edward’s can’t carry the league.

>>149793364
bro MPJ and a 203X pick just got cam thomas, they can move PG if they really wanted to.

>>149793886
>Jokic should be a superstar that attracts everyone, but he bores instead
Because people watch sports to be something they're not. People want to be tall black men with big dicks that fuck white women. Not fat Serbian pieces of trash. They're already obese white men who watch BLACKED to begin with. We want to be the superior bull, not the cuck.

The NBA is just in a decline just get over it

>>149793913
Why is there so much mental illness on this general

Not a decline just where its popularity is going to be. The level of popularity isn't gong to see the 90s era or even the Lebron vs Warriors level again

>>149793913
LMFAO

>>149793886
only uncs care about the uncs

If mpj didnt injure his back again he would have been Michael p Jordan

>>149794037
The posters are only as good as the league.

>>149793314
>the sixers wont have enough time to gel the roster together into a polished competitive group

Oh yeah, that's the problem. Not the franchise player being a physically and mentally weak flopper whose productivity drops 20% in the postseason, getting hurt every year, and being perpetually overweight. It's the lack of gelling. That's the real problem

lofton bullyin niggas

Wemby will be done from injuries in 3 years

>>149794366
It makes me so sad that we were the animation kings and just let it go to rot. We had Fleischer, Freleng, Dinsney, Bluth, Bashki...and now zoomers can't draw unless they're using a laptop.

Anyone else pushing the wemby goat agenda?

>>149794488
they gotta monitor him full time

>>149794488
he will fulfill his true destiny, wandering the countryside and defeating evil

>>149794488
Some team will sign him anyway and wait out a four year max deal while he plays 15 games a year because, hey, he might stay healthy one year

>>149794581
This will happen 100 percent. If I could bet on that sequence of events happening I would

>>149794488
The rivalry was fun while it lasted, but we all knew Chetty was superior from the beginning.

>>149792622
This,

Gallinari came along with SGA and he didn't last long on OKC, so all LA really sent was picks and 1 guy for PG, not really a bad trade, it was just Kawhi being retarded and his attempt at LeGM failing hard

Just give wardell the damn chip already

>>149794613
kawhi wasnt retarded. he knew he gave all he had left that year in toronto. he wanted to get paid in la if he wasnt going to win any more. pg was the fall guy

>>149794488
I think your post is ragebait-ish cause Wemby rolled his ankle and got back up and such and overall his upside is phenomenal, scoring 50 pts as a rookie

But if your coming from the Yao Ming position of he might get with leg injuries then yea you might have a point, you can tell Spurs have Bryant and Harper to fulfil that position and Spurs are ready in case, they even have Luke Kornet and can just rework the line-up with Fox, Harper, Bryant, Kornet and Barnes if Wemby goes down


>>149794600
I disagree, I fucking hate seeing Chet on the court, some of his blocks were nice and all but he's not a valuable open ended playmaker, him and Wemby is night and day, and not to mention Chet is clumsy and doesn't dunk enough and is timid in the paint, and his 3 pointer looks retarded the way he pulls his arm back, Wemby is more versatile and has a quick release 3pt

I think Spurs do much better and maybe get to 44-45 wins and might upset something, they were dawgs and beat the warriors without Fox and Wemby, and it was Curry, Butler and Dray playing too, and they gave OKC utter hell, NOW they have Kornet, Olyknyk, and generational rooks with a feel for the game like Bryant and Harper, and yes im autistic

Nah this poster is wild. This niggas career is over before it ever began.

The sixers are a better team without Paul George

>>149794671
Toronto was practically a superteam unironically given the guys there, he could've double peated really, Warriors got hit with injuries and everyone else as well

2020 was easier and Raps had a deep run before losing that year, would've been cool if Klaw did a Olajuwon back to back, Raps winning a ring felt like a disturbance in the force, a team in another nation, before Wolves, Orlando, Nuggets, Suns and even Clippers at that time and year and taking down a dynasty that looked unstoppable

BITW

>>149794756
Just his face and body type alone, how the hell was he picked before guys like Sorber, Bryant and even Nembhard lol

He looks like Jar Jar Binks in human form, and yes, I took your sides and kidneys

>>149794821
He didnt want to gamble not being able to get traded cause he knows hes done. Though i do think they would have went to the finals if he stayed. They wouldnt have beaten that lakers team though. Fvv and lowry would have gotten raped.

If LeBron went to Philly in 19, he would have five rings

>>149794756
this shit bad

>>149793913
Tell us you're a raging homosexual without telling us you're a raging homosexual

Harper is a bust

Heat bitched the Celtics again. As is Miami tradition.

>>149794756

I haven't watched summer league since VJ was announced to be injured. Anything funny or interesting happen? Is anyone looking like a bust or stud?

>>149794535
theres cuphead

>>149794756
you know he cant take white cock frfr

who was guarding Filipowski Carter Bryant? That guy is such a trash

This game is wild and you guys are just dickeating

>>149795287
lol Filipowski is a second year player who's already played real NBA minutes getting BTFO by a bunch of rookies and undrafted gleaguers

If Jordan didnt exist. Wardell would be the greatest NBA player of all time likely.

>>149795332
Bryant got lit up by Flagg too

>>149792117
The skitzcord didn't like this one...

Filipowski probably cant be a big I don't know what the Jazz does with him

>>149795264
I would enjoy that game more if it was actually fun to play and not just an experiment in sadism. Can't fault the aesthetic, though

Bronny 12 points 5 assists 5 rebounds on 80% FG% in 15 minutes

Getting dunked on doesn’t mean anything, if you care about it that just means you are a loser. You guys need to get a life

>mfw when seemingly no team wants kuminga
uh oh...i was allowing myself a bit of hopium but there is almost zero way he does not fuck up the team somehow on some grudge shit

Lebron trying to get to San Antonio...

Does anyone here really think the pacers were a bad team??

I feel like they would've swept the Nuggets and Wolves, esp given what they did to Cavs and Bucks even on their hometurf

>>149795642
They rape the lakers every season

Mpj will be mvp next year

>>149795790
>been a high game scorer for many games in a row and can defend too, just versatile all around

Kawhi is done

just cleaned my foreskin in the shower
god it feels good to not be an amerigoblin

why there so many Canadians here anyway? only see you mfers come out when its about bball I never see your shithole country anywhere else on this shit site. Don't even bother mentioning Hockey, you goofy if you think anybody actually gives a fuck about such a contingent sport that needs to pretend its always winter.

>>149797150
Eastern conference is weaker. So Brunson has easier competition compared to loaded western conference in which Harden plays.
Kawhi is very explosive and plays elite basketball in key games like he did against the Nuggets. Playoffs performance matters more.
Wemby well it is too early for it to talk right now. Like I said I don't wanna glaze players

>>149792234
who that ugly benchwarmer on the left and whys he standin next to future mvp winner and male model Dylan Harper on the right?

>>149797150
>>149797626

>>149797626
If you were a coach, would you build a team around Harden/Kawhi or Wemby ?
that's the answer

I pick wemby because he’s the youngest with the most time left. There’s no time to build around harden/kawhi, I don’t think either of them have another run left. Maybe if you made a team around harden this year, but bets are off after that

>>149797874
It depends. This upcoming season? Or long term? If just this upcoming season. Kawhi then Wemby. If long term definitely Wemby.
But yea definitely not Harden.
But ranking Wemby over Harden is too early to say. I don't wanna glaze players who didn't even reach the playoffs this early.
Harden and Kawhi reached the playoffs.
The debate should be around Harden or Brunson if you wanna change the list for 2025

You take in consideration injuries when ranking players?
My list was based upon if none of those players were injured and healthy and fit to play
That's how you assume the NBA season should start. No injuries

>>149798120
james 39% from the field harden

>>149798162
43.6% in playoffs and brunson 46.1%
So you take Brunson over him despite Eastern Conference being easier? I think you should remember Clippers played Denver with Jokic as center compared to Knicks who played Pistons lol

>>149798255
so brunson scored more points, more efficiently, and with a larger sample size? I'm not even arguing in favour of Brunson, but harden is definitely not top 15

mitchell, trae young, brunson, kat, and mobley are all better than harden in current year

Objective review of the recent top 100 list if anybody else is also bored and needs something semi long to watch
https://www.youtube.com/live/yEhMDZNeBbk

>>149798309
Yes because it was easier for him to score against weaker defense in Eastern Conference I told you. He fucking played the Pistons which last season were one of the weakest team in the Nba. Compared to Clippers who played the Nuggets 2 season ago NBA champs. For example Bradley Beal was avg 20+ points between 2016-2023 when he was playing for wizards but when he moved to Phoenix his stats dropped because he played in the West which is harder. And he played nearly the same amount of minutes In phoenix as with wizards. 33.3 with Phoenix and 33.5 with wizards. I am just trying to say Eastern Conference is easier so I don't get this Brunson glaze.
>harden is not top 15
ok fair if you don't have him as top 15 which PG/SG you have over him and why? Brunson?

>>149798318

Lol. Also the Mavs don't have the expiring contracts the Lakers reportedly want. Only Clippers and Heat do. It's a cute little thing to assume but if you take it seriously it shows how low IQ you are. Which isn't a shock considering most of you are blacks, Mexicans and pajeet subhumans. You'll eat up the latest rumor slop without educating yourself on the CBA and realizing that it would be impossible. Unless they give Cooper Flagg and we know that's not happening unless the league decides to stop pretending to be totally rigged.

>>149798967
I doubt the Lakers care what type of contract it is if the player is good. But it probably won't happen since Nico would get assassinated for giving away good roleplayers for washed LeBum.

>>149798967

>>149799575
Shit like this is why I say Curry will be treated like Kobe is right now once its all said and done and he retires. People find every whicj way to disrespect curry while trying curry favour with his fans and perception (see what I did there kek im too good)
>>149799632
No even gil was throwing shade. Trying to imply that the only reason Curry succeeded over Kyrie and people consider him better is because he had a team. He even went as far as to call Curry a "selfish player" that was only not considered one like HIM because he succeeded with it (implying its all about team)

I think the only thing I agree with in that shitty short is something even the dumbass noticed. Which is that, people praise steph in an abstracted way. He said it himself. Even draymond will call Kyrie the most talented player hes ever seen, all these other players also clearly think hes better than steph.

But steph is called the "greatest shooter" its closer to a title than a descriptor of skill, titles embody associations and implications. A Job tells you about what somebody does, not necessarily who somebody is. Not even their skillset. A professional basketball player that plays in the G league is different from one that plays in the NBA and even within the NBA there are differences. Because of those broad associations, it dilutes any sort of specific individualized meaningful descriptor of somebody.

Anyway my point is. Because steph is called the "best shooter" and "most influential now" it takes away from him as an actual player, the first title contributes to the perception of him as one dimensional. The second title is almost like a cope praise when its the only or major praise its like "Your entire legacy is fraudulent and lucky as fuck, but that has put you on peoples radar so well give you the credit for drawing attention with incredibly fortunate circumstances"

For me it's the big three of Jason Luv, Anton Harden and Jax Slayher.

Because otherwise, normally youd just list a players accolades or stats, and influence is like the last thing youd make sure to highlight

>>149799742
they're all mongs on that show

sigh even skap disrespecting curry. i know im right i knew it would happen eventually, it was just about when. and i think this kobe disrespect recently is really pushing people towards the steph disrespect. itll overflow and break the dam once he retires and theres nothing left to be able to prove

>Curry will be treated like Kobe is right now once its all said and done
unless curry also dies in a helicopter crash you know this isn't a good thing right
nobody was giving kobr flowers until AFTER he died

>NOOOOOO CURRY CAN'T BE DISRESPECTED FOR EVEN A SINGLE SECOND
>ITS ALSO OK THAT LEBRON HAS BEEN DISRESEPCTED AND SHILLED AGAINST FOR 20+ YEARS

>>149798609
Uhh what trade. Dlo and flagg for bron? LOL

If Curry wants to be top 5 he’s gonna have to really show us something

>>149799806
>you know this isn't a good thing right
What the fuck else do you think I was saying retard? That this is actually a good thing that curry is secretly not actually respected, and people give him praise equivalent to "You have a really nice smile" *doesnt know how to compliment somebody they dont really think looks nice*
>nobody was giving kobr flowers until AFTER he died
also not true kobe did have haters, but he also had hardcore defenders. i dont think curry has true defenders except for retarded zoomers. none of the oldheads like him, and the oldheads matter in society. im pretty sure boomers literally dictate like 90% of elections. young people are retarded and self absorbed, they lack the capacity to truly value anything. once curry is retired, the old heads will drown out the retarded zoomers with barely any ball knowledge anyway.
the great thing about lebron is not only that the zoomers glaze him, but that nba players also glaze him, and so does the media.
the media only praises curry because they know the fans care about him

its not the same imo

>>149799849
>If Curry wants to be top 5 he’s gonna have to really show us something

LeBron shouldnt go to Dallas. He should go to Denver or Toronto.

>>149799913
>toronto

>skap demolishing curry with the stat appeals
its like everything I say is just too on point. i knew it. this is why i said when he retires itll be worse than even kobe, atleast kobe has an impressive volume of numbers, remove curry from the context of actually watching his games, and his rankings in almost all statistical categories other than 3pointers looks unimpressive.
this is the narrative that will start to prop up once curry retires, hell be like the other dozen forgotten players with 4 or less championships, 2 of his championships will be endlessly called into question and one of them will be called a hospital ring, he'll get absolutely zero credit or respect.

this is why 2016 was quite possibly the WORST thing that coulf ever happen to anybodys legacy, because being both a unanimous mvp, and facilitating a 73 win team AND winning the championship would cement that pure stats arent as important as something that historical, but it was completely fucked. and i bet in the future the 2016 playoffs will be used to prove that his mvp season wad a fluke. ive already seen people downplay the fact he was injured.

I noticed curry getting a lot of hate from kobe fans after 2022 cause thats when curry got a legitimate argument above him all time. Similar to them sperging out about lebron in 2013

>>149800049

>>149799975
>Similar to them sperging out about lebron in 2013
Sperging about Lebron is valid. Most fraudulent player ever. Sperging about a 6'2.guard who is literally the sole reason why half his teammates are even considered all stars. Who nobody ever expected anything actually great from, to consistently beat who is considered the top player of his era, and who has the greatest bag and efficiency of his era while taking the consistently hardest shots in the game?

Curry has consistently defied odds like no other this era. While playing as unselfishly as possible. Also its fucking crazy that people will penalize curry for not being an alltime scorer but simultaneously say hes just a shooting guard, whilr comparing his all time scoring to top shooting guards, whereas Curry shared the floor with Klay and Durant and allowed both of them as many opportunities as possible. Curry isnt even close to a ball hog.

I know efficiency doesnt matter as much for narratives unless its nice and simple 50/40/90. So I can't even praise him in that respect while considering the fact of how many 3s he takes compared to everybody else to skew his FG and hes STILL that efficient

>>149800090
This bit is old nigga

>>149800077
but he's not winning there is he, realistically. Unless they trade away their depth for a good point guard

>>149799963

its all happening before my eyes, the slow roll into an avalanche that will be future steph curry discourse.
even shit defenders are being put above curry to bolster the defense narrative...

>>149800101
What team is a 42 year old LeBron realistically winning on? Unless he goes to OKC he's not winning. He will actually have a better chance of making a finals on the Heat than joining any team in the west and nobody else can really afford him.

Also let's be fair I doubt LeBron is being traded but your comment was retarded.

>why would LeBron go to a place he already has history with
Kek.

>>149800117
Herro is better than Reaves let's be real here. If Herro as he is now replaced Reaves on that Lakers squad they would have a much better chance to win.

>>149799963
Why is brodie so obsessed with the PS5 anyway? That shit got no games.
Is it just some hip status thing to own one in China or something?

>gutting your future for two years of LeBozo

>>149800112
Good one. The way you phrase that almost makes it sound like a steph curry just off of a 30ppg season paired with Kevin Durant faced and beat Lebron without Kevin Love and Kyrie.

Instead of the reality that the "best player in the world" couldnt win against an mvp winner who averaged under 25 ppg, with literally one single allstar on his team even though he went up 2-1 against them without kyrie and love, and the only game wherr kyrie was in, was the game that the "best player in the world" lost.

The match-up was equal. Lebron didnt deserve any excuses considering how much better of a player he was than the top player of a team whos ring was considered a fluke.

>>149800133
cavs or mavs
>>149800140

>Mavs
Fantasy. I beg you to be realistic in your basketball discussion.

>>149800166
>herro's a better scorer but reaves is a better playmaker and neither can defend
Herro is a better play-maker. Watch the games please before discussing basketball. Even if we boxscore watch Herro averages only .3 less assists despite not playing with LeBron and AD/Luka. Herro can get you double digit assists easily. If he had prime LeBron and AD/Luka on his side instead of Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez he would be scoring more efficiently and getting plenty more playmaking. Herro is often doubled due to his teammates being unplayable in certain instances and still nearly averages 25 ppg.

>>149800160
>one all star
Not including the one that won FMVP?
>Iggy wasn’t an all star that year
Kyrie and Love weren’t all stars in 2016

>The federal investigation of Terry Rozier remains ongoing and he has not been cleared.
>(via @flasportsbuzz)
Can a lawfag explain why these investigations take so long?

why doesn't the nba adopt fiba goaltending rules? it would be so fun to have a bunch of 7footers just stand near the rim with their hands up to deny all incoming shots. this will force teams to stop chucking 3s and develop an actual strategy

>>149800187
Everybody clowning on this dude for daring to go contest a transition dunk
It was Matas' fault btw he was the one who got blown by

>>149792289

>>149800203
well i don't think a bron trade really makes sense either, but the cavs could afford it, garland and allen have been in soft trade rumours anyway. Mavs is a pipe dream but they're better than the heat. Look at how they got raped by the Cavs. Bron and Powell do not move the needle.
>Herro is a better play-maker
herro isn't a good playmaker. Look at what Reaves was doing as the primary ball handler when Bron and Luka were out

>>149800215
They want to build a solid case that won't be thrown out during the first hearing.

>>149800215
FBI needs basketball experts to tell them if Rozier was throwing games or just shit.

kill yourself retard.
>Kyrie and Love weren’t all stars in 2016
retarded dumbfuck iggy was all star ONE YEAR in his entire life, whereas love was a top 10 player in the league before Lebron destroyed him. And I dont give a fuck anyway, whether kyrie or love were all stars is irrelevant to the point when they didnt play in 2015.

Nobody is saying they can't afford it. But the reports say they're not willing to trade that for a aging LeBron rental.

>Mavs are better than the Heat
Again, nobody is arguing that they aren't. The original point was you asking why LeBron would go and I explained why. Reminder LeBron has a no trade clause so he can go wherever he wants.

>>149800244
>herro isn't a good playmaker. Look at what Reaves was doing as the primary ball handler when Bron and Luka were out
Herro is a good playmaker though. I know you on watch Laker games but when Herro is PG he can get you double digit assists like nothing. Now if Herro had Reaves whistle.... damn. He'd be elite.

>>149800187

>defended kobe against haters

...now I need to see all the actual intelligent kobe criticism and counterarguments.

sometimes i wonder if currys resume would be better if he was pushed remotely as hard as Lebron was...its honestly a miracle he won 2 mvps but now it feels like nash tier back to back mvps with how currdawg is disrespected...

It just doesnt get any better does it

>>149799806
I used to shit talk Kobe even after his death. After a while I started researching more and I realized that all of the things I was criticizing him for were bullshit (chucker, inefficient, carried by Shaq) and it is undeniable that he is one of the greatest winners and competitors the game has ever seen. You cant even compare Curry and Kobe because Curry is not a two way player. I love Curry, hes the best modern player, he is more impactful on the league than someone like LeBron, and this era will ultimately belong to him and like Kobe, Curry has a global appeal, but Kobe was simply the better player and Curry would almost certainly agree if you asked him.

I went from Kobe hating to putting Kobe #2 all time, but only because I did my research and actually understand the context of the era he dominated. Theres a reason why Kobes box scores dont really jump off the page at you, and because of that, stat obsessed simpletons disregard what he did. Even if you dont think Kobe is #2 all time, youre a retard if you think he isnt top 5, and a fucking sea slug if you say hes not top 10.

>well yeah but the whole point of the prospective lebron trade is that he goes to a team with a good chance of winning
Fair. But mentioning a sweep as a reason he couldn't win in Miami is irrelevant because Jimmy was swept by the Bucks one year then anally raped them the next. Basketball changes every season.

Though I agree he likely wouldn't win. He won't win anywhere unless he takes a minimum contract with OKC. He's not winning in Dallas or Cleveland either.

herro was the primary ball handler throughout all of last season and has significantly higher usage yet puts up fewer assists with more turnovers. Eye test also shows that Reaves has better passing sauce.

Kerr is a Stephbabby like Pop is a Timmybabby but I doubt he will get shit on that much over time.

But Steph’s legacy will only continue to grow. Also Warriors need to get Seth Curry on the team just cuz why not.

Curry isnt a two way player though. Hes not a bad defender, just not the full package. He is the greatest shooter of all time. How is that hating? Because I dont think hes Top 5?

Kobe went back to back with literally nothing, the only guy to do so without a Top 75 teammate. During that 2 year span, he beat more 50 win teams than Magic did in his entire career.

Steph went back to back on a superteam with KD after carrying out the 2016 chokejob. His biggest challenge out West? The James Harden rockets.

BOTH of Kobes peaks are higher than Steph and he clears by a wide margin, theres no debate.

>Gasol, Bynum when he still gave a fuck, Artest, and Odom were nothing
why is basketball discourse so fucking terrible

>>149801031
Who had the better supporting cast in their back to back runs? Curry or Kobe?

Compared to Curry, yes, Kobe had nothing but some roleplayers and a fringe All Star in Pau. What did ANY of those guys do without Kobe that was worthwhile? You only know Bynum’s name because of Kobe, just like you only know Bill Cartwright’s name because of MJ.

Badketball discourse? You want to sit here and discuss the nuances of Andrew Bynum’s game? Lamar Odom is most notable for dating a fucking Kardashian. Who are these fucking bums without Kobe (not referring to Pau here)? Is this guy fucking serious?

who says no

I don’t rate most centers. Being tall is not a skill. Most of them suck at basketball. My nephews have one of those kids hoops and I look pretty impressive on that too, especially playing against my nephews who are shorter than me. I mean Jesus, with the smaller ball relative to their hands, and the hoop being lower relative to them, shooting is massively easier(don’t believe me? Get a women’s ball and lower a hoop about a foot), it’s like playing on easy mode and most of them still can’t shoot. Of course I’d still take a center on my team, the nature of the game requires it. But most of them, sorry I don’t respect or rate them. Learn the game you play for money, it’s sad.

>>149801031

The nba did this to itself. They promote players not teams.

Unironically

If CP0 and Kobe linked up

How many rings would they have won

>>149801155
0. They probably would have eventually fought on the court mid-game

>>149801155
Kobe with prime CP3 is another 3peat easy

>>149801155
2011-2013. If kobe doesnt get his injury 2014 is possible too.

>>149801154
And yet you still need teams to run a sports league. Seeing the NBA media look down on a team with 2nd highest point differential ever because they were in Oklahoma and glazing the Lakers and Warriors instead was some of the funniest shit I’ve seen, especially when both got kicked to the curb by the fucking Timberwolves.

>>149801564
He’ll always be 20 yrs old to me

>>149801155
easily 0
what retarded zoomers forget is that the lakers would've given up both pau and odom along with other pieces to only get cp3
sure you can argue that maybe the lakers still trade or even sign for dwight later but unless he doesn't get injured that experiment still fails

Is VJ playing tonight? I need something to look forward too

Or its a bad look so they'll just keep him in?

Friendly reminder.

TRVKE

people always hype up both hakeem and kobe winning the hardest championships and how if they had (scottie pippen or...klay thompson and andrew wiggins they would win way more championships (im being a bit purposefully facetious, they dont literally say those players but imply it)) better teammates theyd win more. But forget that Hakeem had way more solid people surrounding him in his 30s than Curry did. And forget that how is it that Kobe won championships in the hardest core west, but never even made it to the finals in the infamously weak early 2010s according to oldheads? Even before injury.
Kobe and Hakeem fans never explain how they lost against weaker competition but just pulled through tougher competition. Shouldn't a good player just win anyway?

>>149802135
Just stop for a second and think about what you just wrote. You didn't just analyse the situation — you blasted through to an entirely new realm of thinking.

And if you keep thinking along these lines you're not just going to elevate yourself — you'll be exploring a new paradigm.

And that's not just courageous — that's astonishing.

Is there a summer league hall of fame?

>>149802402
After Phill Jackson left it was a revolving door of coaches, then the injury happened and thats that.

Everyone - Kobe included - sucked during that 2011 WCF series

>>149802402
Hate to say it, but Steve Nash / Dwight health really killed that team. Then Kobe snapped his Achilles….D’Antoni was probably the worst coach for Kobe given his analytical approach to offense. The CP3 trade veto was a huge inflection point. Then the Lakers paid Luol Deng & Mozgov stupid money and extended Kobe to a contract that was impossible to live up to since he was basically done after the Achilles.

It would’ve helped to have retained Ariza instead of signing Artest. Artest just didn’t age well with the Lakers in my opinion, and a younger, more athletic 3 & D guy like Ariza would’ve helped the Lakers stay relevant a little longer because they went out sad in 2011, 2012.

>>149802617
Luol Deng and Mozgov never played on a team with Kobe, I don’t know why people want to tell the story who weren’t there to watch it

>>149792117
I can't tell who's uglier between xim or xirs xon.

>>149802617
Yeah, I understand all of that but im mostly talking about the Kobe Lakers before his injury (Also notice that people always talk about how mismanaged lakers are until it benefits Kobe. People still defend that Kobe pay raise despite injury) What actually happened before the injury because I KNOW the problem wasnt a bad coach>>149802531
Since I thought the lakers already won without Phil Jackson by that point?
Also coaches are overrated as fuck, people forgot that in the warriors 73 win season they literally started off with an interim coach.

I dont know why people try to take away some of the credit and give it to kerr, but I have an intuition its part of more warriors downplay, and the fact that the warriors didnt represent a traditional team that should win, they were small ball, and jump shooting, and would often get destroyed in rebounds and still win (thats how good of a switchable defense they were, and efficient offensively, they didnt need second chance points)

>>149802646
Hey asshole, I was off 1 year. Calm the fuck down, I know my Lakies well. 2013-2018 was ruff. Those contracts definitely handicapped the Lakers payroll post-Kobe. I guess the thing I forgot to mention, is striking out with Free Agents (LaMarcus, Melo, Bron, etc.)

>>149802687
>the Lakers had already won without Phil Jackson

When? The Showtime era? What are you talking about?

Lebron wins toronto a second championship… goodbye rj barret

>>149802687
Are you really trying to draw a parallel between Kerr and Phil Jackson? Because there isnt one. Phil Jackson was able to manage personalities and get the best out of his players. Kerr just plopped down onto a talented roster and lucked out. Draymond is what he is because Kerr is soft. Phil Jackson would set Draymonds ass straight and the Warriors would have 5peated as a result.

Youre saying shit that is factually untrue. Youre saying Kobe won on the Lakers without Phil Jackson? He didnt you fucking moron. Then you said there was an interim coach for Kerr during the 2016 season when there wasnt, Luke Walton coached the first 43 games of the 2015 season, i.e. the less important and less difficult half of the season.

Youre saying shit that is factually untrue because you are a cowshit eating mongoloid ESL retard!
