Respect Hakeem.

>>150180367
>>150180415
Does Jordan’s Bulls beat Hakeem’s Rockets in ‘94 and ‘95? Bulls don’t have Rodman yet, Bulls never employed a center that wasn’t behind role player tier.

>>150180415
Hakeem is considered top 10 for a reason.

Kobe got drafted when he was 18. Shaq got drafted when he was 20. All you had to do was look it up before posting something like that but you didn't because your hate boner for Kobe is too strong to let you think. Now you look like a retard.

Also the Lakers had already multiple All-Star guards when Kobe got drafted so they wouldn't even let him start the first couple of years. You know, the years Shaq was getting swept non stop

ayyy Mr. Christoforou don't you have a video to make?

What went wrong with Deandre Ayton? I've compared his first 4 seasons to Garnett's first 4 seasons. As one can observe, these stats are very close - yet Garnett was already a 3 time All-star. And Ayton, is, well, a free agent joining the Lakers this season. Either one of these players are extremely overrated, or the other is extremely underrated. Someone with a high bball IQ please elaborate.

>>150183169

94 they do because they still had Grant, 95 they lose to Orlando because Orlando had Grant

LOOK AT THIS SHIT DUDE. LOOOOOK at the mfers Curry had to play with in the 2023 semifinals against the Lakers. And people talk like the Lakers are dysfunctional. NO THE WARRIORS ARE A POVERTY FRANCHISE IN KINGS CLOTHING. Literal DOGWATER. I dont know if Klay was injured or what, but people were hyping him up before the playoffs if you remember, acting like still having Klay was "help".

HE TOOK 19 SHOTS AND MADE FUCKING 3. I have never seen anything so bad. And this is the same team as the 2022 championship that people act like was a "good" team. Unironically Curry has ONE more good player through the 2020s, even close to Deangelo Russel or Dennis Schroder, or dare I fucking say, Austing FUCKING REAVES like Lebron. And he WINS atleast 2 championships by now.

Go look at that 2023 series stats and see how astonishingly Curry dominates Lebron. Even in assists which people pretend like Lebron is a so much better playmaker. (Ill admit the turnovers were a problem though)

>>150180720
>dunks are crude and unsportsmanlike

This but unironically. Or rather, the hoop was set at the height it was for a reason. They didn’t take into account a bunch of giga lanklets coming along who could use it like a kids hoop. Seriously, next time you are at a house with kids use their kiddie basketball hoop and see how stupid it is if you took it seriously. That’s how basketball is for 7 ft guys. They should raise the hoop by a foot or ban 7 ft guys from playing. Or just kill them all I dunno someone else can find the solution

>>150183371
>Draymond with that Quintuple single

Hold on a sec. This Miami Heat team looks kinda fucking stacked against the Bucks. Why do people act like Jokic just went up against a bum 8th seed? This obviously wasnt a real 8 seed. Im looking at these series and this dude Jimmy dropped 56 on Giannis???? What the fuck was he on in that stretch in the early 2020s.

What the fuck happened in the finals too? How did he get swept if he dominated Giannis so much? Sure I could understand somebody thinking Jokic is better than Giannis, but Giannis has the waaay better supporting cast, and even that aside. Its not like Jokic is SOOO far ahead of Giannis, especially factoring in defense.

>>150183408
giannis was trash that series (the only game the bucks won he didnt even play), choked his ass off so hard but he made some speech about failure and people forgave their golden boy. jimmy was on demon time that series but he got hurt vs the knicks. you could see him get worse as the series went on. had the heat won the finals (it wasnt a blowout finals) bam wouldve won fmvp

>>150183396
To be fair he had. ONE single lucky game literally the game prior where he dropped 20, but the entire time while reading that stat sheet I was telling myself "You cannot be relying on Draymon dropping 20 while Klay, is taking 20 fucking shots and dropping 10, its just not realistic" and I was right

>>150183425
>giannis was trash that series (the only game the bucks won he didnt even play), choked his ass off so hard but he made some speech about failure and people forgave their golden boy.
So are we finally done making eexcusesabout Giannis doesnt have help. Giannis is the greatest player this generation, Giannis' stats arent empty and he is totally a decent player because he averages more assists than curry? Or is there something Im missing? Because Im watching old podcasts and hearing these dudes hype Giannis like crazy in 2022 after Curry won, saying that hes still the best player even though curry won, and that the bucks will definitely win in 2023 and that the bucks would have smoked the warriors in the finals (To be fair I could believe it with how dogshit that team is but thats not the point)

>>150183408
Janice got hurt in the first quarter of that game, missed the next two, and then shit it up when he tried to come back. Bucks were letting Jimmy go 1 on 1 against Jrue.

>>150183425
>>150183499
why does the jeet love curry so much if he never watches games?

>>150183499
>Bucks were letting Jimmy go 1 on 1 against Jrue.
I thought Jrue was the best perimeter ever? Heard somebody tell me Jrue would have cooked Curry if they faced the bucks in 2022 or 23, guess Jimmy is just THAT good. I just want to hear people admit that they have no coherent evaluation skills.

>>150183494
only normies still make excuses for giannis. he has won one playoff series since his title and that was against an injured bulls team that wouldnt have made the playoffs if it was injured the whole season. he lost 2022, choked 2023, lost 2024 and now 2025.

he did and he let drayboon punch the sonic rings out of him

look at what you did

>>150183751
had me for exactly 10 seconds

Fun fact: David Stern admitted to Shaq that if the refs called every single foul on him during a game, that game would be over 4 hours long.

>>150180449
They had absolutely no one who could even think about slowing down Hakeem. Hakeem might unironically have averaged like 40+ in those series

>>150182956
If he could just accept that Curry will always be a level above him he'd be all right. But he wants to be on the same level and it's not possible because everything he did in Golden State just added to Curry's legacy as much as his own and their careers apart aren't on the same level.

If he really cared about legacy he shouldn't have gone to someone else's team that was already a winner without him. You don't gain respect by playing on easy mode

>>150183169
KG is a 15x all star though and and 9x all defense and all NBA

>>150182956
I like him as a player, but he is definitely a sore loser outside of the court.

I tried playing like harden at the rec center and got asked to leave

If fighting was just a part of the game like hockey, who would be the best fighters? I got Sir Charles, Big Ben Wallace, Steven Adams and Zaza Pachulia in my top 10.

>>150184445

Why do peopke act like the warriors only "became a system" with Kerr coming in? I have a dozen reasons I dont like the narrative. But just look at this snippet. This is the exact same ball movement they were known for when they became final contenders in 2015 and beyond. And this was with Mark Jackson.
I dont know what it is. But these dudes would have been playing this way whether Kerr was there or not.

I think the only major difference Kerr brought to the team, is that Curry started taking way less midrange shots and more 3s. If you watched Steph play before 2015, he'd just pull up for a long 2 a fuck ton. Arguably what lost him the spurs series.

>>150184700
Greek anon cooked you. Go home.

https://youtu.be/fCbVEdKmVuE?t=21m57s
So Crazy. I'm just imagining how fun it must have been to watch your random 6th seed team that had never had any success in the playoffs, pull of such spectacular plays like this. Getting to see Curry live when he still hasnt even made a allstar team and it feels like youre watching a future superstar must have been a feeling like no other.

>>150184705

Very sad. Need to start doing what they do and what that group in the US are doing and just create your own private neighborhood for whites. Saw some Chinese Taipei basketball team early this morning, and they had 3 black starters and 1 white guy. I thought Taiwan wasn't like that.

>>150187102
>Need to start doing what they do and what that group in the US are doing and just create your own private neighborhood for whites
You mean that 'Return to the Land' thing? There's no way our government would allow that, I doubt America's will either

Tbf I think they just give citizenship to anyone decent at basketball to represent them

>>150187152
>You mean that 'Return to the Land' thing? There's no way our government would allow that, I doubt America's will either
Yeah, that thing. It's technically legal, but I assume at some point they'll get challenged in court, knowing someone with rich backers can just bleed them dry with litigation. If they somehow do pull it off, it sets a great precedent for others to follow.
>Tbf I think they just give citizenship to anyone decent at basketball to represent them
That's possible, kinda like in the Olympics, where all the table tennis teams from any country are all East Asian looking.

>>150187040
Thats the only way they can have a team, anglos can't hoop

No need to get upset Lil bro. There isnt a single good anglo basketball player. All the good white ones are German, slavs, Spaniards, or Italians. I guess Australians too but the only decent ones to come out of there are all mixed

Oh, I see. So Anglo-Saxons, which is a sociological term which is often used to describe white Protestant Americans of English, or more broadly British, descent who are generally part of the white dominant culture, and who belong to Protestant denominations,... are no longer classified as white, according to (you). Well I just wish I could just pick your little feeble mind for hours brown bro

this is what being an oldhead w/o a wife and kids does to a mfer. You need a castle with subjects, Kings

>>150188230
As I've said before, it's just too bad Rondo doesn't know how to throw a punch and didn't knock him the fuck out, causing brain damage when Paul's head hit the floor.
Like nigga step into that shit.

>>150188234
Lauri is a beast. What would happen if Golden State picked him up this year?

>>150187249
Its pretty crazy how nobody thinks pooper can be an MVP caliber player, just another Andrei Kirilenko or Scotty Pippen at best. My guess is he'll be white Tatum.

>>150182701
Simmons would help the Celtics since they need more depth at center.

>>150188279
Feels like that contract kind of killed his career, obviously worth it for him, but it's a shame that we might not see good Markkanen on a good team
>>150188282
Generally people who know nothing about him, they just chuck him in that overhyped Wiggins, Simmons, Ayton box (despite the fact that he's unambiguously a level above any of those as a prospect). I think he'll be a sort of halfway point between Giannis and Tatum as a player

>>150182701
He’d look good in Celtic green but I think he’s done

>>150183371
Yep, cold hard truth: Steph curry is the greatest player of all time and most impactful player in the history of basketball who’s been screwed over by emotionally unstable teammates, remedial coaching, bargain bin rosters and the NBA intentionally getting in his way because he refused to sign with Nike (the goddess of victory)

Steph Curry with a proper career FTA for a player of his caliber would be the NBA’s all time leading scorer by a huge margin- Steph averages 4.3 (FOUR POINT THREE) FTs a game in his career- for context LeBron James - 7.5, Michael Jordan - 8.3

We all know there’s no way Michael Jordan got fouled more than LeBron or Steph, but he was the first “Nike” superstar so vwalah

The lion doesn't pass to his teammates

>>150188330
Simmons isn't a center. He can't defend the paint nor contest the rim worth shit. Been that way his whole career even before the injuries. Just another one of the many disappointing things about him

>>150183408
That team was elite and should have won the championship the year prior but Herro and Oladipo got hurt and Max Strus’ line (((magically))) was out of bounds during a momentum shifting three, next year they replaced the dead offense of pj Tucker with Kevin Love and had a lot off injuries but got healthy right before the playoffs started- Jimmy Butler got hurt against the Knicks in the semifinals then keep retreading the injury all the way through, they would have legitimately won the finals if Josh Hart didn’t snap his ankle in half

>>150188341
Yeah nigga really does have a terrible whistle. Gets absolutely demolished under the basket multiple times per game with no call.

>>150188341
>We all know there’s no way Michael Jordan got fouled more than LeBron or Steph, but he was the first “Nike” superstar so vwalah
Well...I dont know about that, especially putting Lebron Alongside Steph in that "ethical hooper" category...but I definitely agree broadly...

I just want to watch Reggie Bullock shoot a corner three one last time... that's all

he literally changed the way the game was played. Him, and him alone, changed the way the game is played today.

>>150189320
basketball was already trending that way, Curry just blew the lid off of it. Even then you could argue Morey was the one who really pushed it forward by essentially defining what all the non-stars should look like. That said Wilt is still the biggest game changing force in the history of the sport

>>150189320
You mean him, Dantoni, Kerr, Nash, Klay, and Harden. Hes on the face of the memechuck

MJ Steph Duncan.
Dont even know how any other answer is correct.
Defense is covered at the Rim and The Perimeter. And both MJ and Steph are broken enough at the rim and Perimeter to never lose offensively. And Steph covers playmaking already. You dont need a Magic level "passing" once you have defense as good as MJ and Duncan. Steph offballing, handles, and pull up already create more than enough space for literally everyone, and steph can dime passes anyway.

Wow. No wonder hes never won a chip

LeBron and Ash Ketchum have many similarities
>Fatherless
>Their mothers bore them at a very young age
>Have more crucial losses than wins
>different skillset/team every season

>>150194979
There was an entire book written and released just to criticize MJ called "The Jordan Rules," and when he was 25, the same age when Lebron made the Decision, MJ was in a worse situation, having won fewer games and not gotten nearly as far into the playoffs as the Cavs had, with his second best scorer being Sam Vincent at 13 ppg. Lebron left, MJ re-signed with the Bulls for 8 years.

LeBron is not a man he wasn’t raised by one to be one

>>150194979
>Google will tell you Anthony McClelland is Lebrons biological father. However Anthony was 5'6 and looked nothing like Lebron.

Wait what, is this real?

im honestly curious if the nba allows the thunder to run roughshod all over the league again. otherwise it has to be Giannis, SGA, Luka, or the Jokeker. who else could it even be?

>>150191793

Surprised he ranked kyrie given he ruined his free ring with the nets
>>150197052
That was a fun rockets team thoughever

>>150197322
I expect the Thunder to still be dominant, but the novelty of it to have worn off, so their record will factor less into the discussion than it did last year. There’s a solid chance the Nuggets will be the 2nd seed anyway, so it’ll be more down to Jokic vs Shai’s stats explicitly (Jokic’s will be better again). I don’t see it with Luka, doubt he’ll put up better numbers than Jokic with LeBron around, and the Lakers will likely be worse. Giannis is in the interesting position of almost certainly being bad, but that potentially being used in his favour (“he dragged these BUMS to the 6th seed”, etc). And yeah, I don’t see anyone else really having a chance, potentially Ant if Minnesota are good.

>>150197384
i dont find any fault in this commentary. good post.

>>150197388
Thank you anon

>>150197384
>There’s a solid chance the Nuggets will be the 2nd seed anyway
The Lakers, Clippers, and Rockets all got better than they did. They'll probably be 4 again.

>>150197447
>all got better than they did.
all got better more than they did*

>>150197447
I mean the Nuggets, Clippers, Rockets, Lakers, and TWolves could feasibly be in any order and it not be that shocking. I definitely don’t think the Lakers’ offseason was better though.

>>150197447
The only that got better was the Rockets. Nothing has changed for both LA Chokers.

>>150197563
Imagine being a team that routinely chokes in the post season, and thinking Chris Paul is the answer LMAO he's the step we need! LOL

>>150196552
>$55k annually for life
Yeah, she's definitely a gold digger. She tried to put on a "loving mom" impression at first with all that "I wanna keep da baby because I love her" But when Ant decided to pay a lump sum to her, she couldn't hide her true face anymore lmao. She just wants to keep leeching on him forever. When a retard meets a cunning whore, that's what happens.

>>150198349
55k is borderline minimum wage. Pretty reasonable number

>>150198481
But then why does she think she's entitled to someone giving her 55k every month for her entire life just because she has his baby? It's got nothing to do with the baby. And you have to include the fact that she wants child support and 500k one time payment.

So in total she's getting 500k + child support for 18 years + 55k per month until she dies

>>150198481
why is he obligated to pay her for life, considering the fact that child support is for 18 years. Why would he pay her shit after that?

>>150198572
Per year*
Typo

>>150198572
Annually means per year btw

>>150198481
If you take out CEO salaries its like $42K average.

>>150198577
Yeah, exactly. That 55k is a separate money from the child support. It's not for the kid, it's for her just because he licked her vagina once.

>>150201763
The bucks are so bad that this is probably the best chance for Giannis to do a carry job and get his 3rd; he and Luka have to most narrative energy. Jokic's usage and MPG will go down now with Valanciunas, and I think Shai will be deferring more to Chet and Jdub like he did earlier last season before Chet went down and he went into carry mode.

>>150201763
>no Jaylen Brown

>>150201885
curgod recently said he's "not even close" to retirement

>>150201912
Curry (and draymond) being the only player of his generation to get the fabled full hand of rings would be kino

Leave him out of the MVP discussions at your own peril....

>>150201967
5 ring curry (3 busdriver rings, 2 extremely near equal to durant) would start some VERY uncomfortable discussions regarding lebrons goat status. how can we call bron top 2 all time when curry won more in 6 years less played?

>>150180329 (OP)
How can people put Shaq over Hakeem when Hakeem cooked the fuck out of him?

Shaq was a Kobe/Wade babby, plain and simple. Without a dynamic two way guard that can shoot in the clutch, Shaw is hopeless.

>>150202273
Shaq outplayed Hakeem by a lot. Hakeem just had a much better team.

>>150202273
because people actually watched the series and even if they didn't they understand year 3 shaq isn't prime shaq

>>150202009
Lebron isnt even top 10, but Curry with 5 is definitely top 10, maybe even Top 5. Not top 2 fucking lmao and I love Curry.

What he would be is unarguably the greatest player of his generation, the final nail in the coffin of LeBron’s imaginary “legacy”.

>>150202273
Shaq averages 28-12-6 that series, he definitely wasnt cooked.

>>150202297
>Shaq outplayed Hakeem
Sure, and thats why he got swept. Guy couldnt even win a single game. Where exactly did he outplay Hakeem? Because his face in the OP looks like hes saying “put me out of my fucking misery”.
>>150202303
Doesnt change that he got cooked and Shaq is a Kobe/Dwade babby

Really Curry is top 4

>[Players Choice] Quinn Cook: “Kevin (Durant) wanted Steph to get that Finals MVP the next year so bad... Game 3 we were struggling, Steph was struggling, and Kevin just, like, accidentally walked into 40... He wasn't even as aggressive, and he just accidentally got the Finals MVP back-to-back.”

>>150202339
He got some numbers but compared to Hakeem, he was outscored and outplayed, and thats why he not only lost but was swept. He knew he was outmatched, Hakeem had too many moves to defend for a guys whose entire game was predicated on dominance.

The thing is, if it were anyone else he was playing against he may have fared better, but I see the Hakeem/Shaq matchup as skill outcompeting strength and “dominance”.

>>150202494
Shaq was in his 3rd year then against a prime Hakeem.When people talk about his dominance, they talk about the threepeat. Even then, the games were close and came down to shit like Nick Anderson missing 4 consequetive free throws to the end the game.

>>150202561
Damn the East has always been garbage

>>150202561
bro you're talking to a guy who didn't actually watch the series and can only think in narratives. He doesn't know who Nick Anderson is or how in general the rocket role players kicked the shit out of the magic role players

>>150202494
Hakeem shot like 40% from the field bro.

>>150202476
>Struggling in big games

Shut the fuck up and kill yourself retard

This is not okay. Do better.

>>150202918
hol up...let him cook

>>150202593
Yeah, all Shaq had was Anfernee Hardaway averaging 25.5 points on 50/40/90 splits and a total of 5 players averaging double digit contributions.

Meanwhile Hakeem had Clyde averaging 21 pts on 45/15/78 splits and 4 players averaging double digit contributions.

Shaq was outplayed. Ill agree he was young but he got schooled and thats why he was swept. He speaks with reverence regarding Hakeem’s skill. Youre in here acting like I should care about a nobody missing some free fucking throws - Shaq was the one who couldnt make a fuckin free throw. If only Shaq had just stopped eating and making bad rap music he could have learned to shoot free throws and not had to ride Kobe and D Wade’s coattails.

>>150202872
aaaaaaaaaaa you mad mad kek

>>150202856
Honestly I have no idea, just looks like a tranny to me. I'll watch a bit and see if the voice confirms it

>>150202918
these are 100% reasonable demands. if i make 40 million a year my wife better not be a leech

>>150202942
Yeah I dont know wtf people were talking about in "Shaq had a worse team". Are they retarded? Did they not see how they destroyed the bulls. MJ only played 10 games or what, thats besides the point.

Shaq was averaging the same or similar numbers he did during his 3peat during his 3rd year, so AGAIN. Theres no excuse, its not like he didnt have veteran leaders to guide him anyway.

>>150202918
Ive been putting the pieces together and MPJ is a faggot

Evidence:
>he did some gay podcast where he talked about how “some guys” are out there banging trannies in order to get it off his chest
>recently did some gay shit talking about how hes “far from god” when it comes to women (because he likes fucking trannies)
>seem to recall a video where hes massaging another teammates shoulders (Aaron Gordon I think?) but this just looked really weird, it reminds me of how I massage my wifes shoulders, like you can tell he was enjoying it too much

If this guy just came out as gay I bet he would be better on the court. His mind is clouded with thoughts of trannies cumming in his ass and he feels guilty so he sucks, but as soon as hes open about sucking (sucking off trannies, that is) then his mind will be clear and he will get better on the court.

>>150203101
>If this guy just came out as gay I bet he would be better on the court.
absolutely not the vast majority of nba players are conservative muslims and christians and i mean proper conservaties. they hate gay people (subconsciously) treat them worse, aka less touches less chemistry.

>>150203216
It’s not the 90s anymore nigga, the league is full of zesty lightskins

I just don't think he gives a fuck, he made his millions.
It's just clear as day to me he will never be an all star caliber player, he will be forgotten and out of the league fast because he doesn't even want to be great despite having everything needed to be just that. Fat, lazy, entitled, no work ethic. He's just coasting along with his millions doing the bare minimum and doesn't seem to give a fuck about winning.
Maybe he just hates being on a poverty franchise like the Pels too and just wants them to trade him before he gives a fuck, idk. But it's clear he doesn't have the personality of the other all star level players in the league.
Fucking Lebron is 40 and in better shape than him, it's just sad.

Peak capitalism. Force women into the workforce so they don't have kids, then when the population goes down import millions of immigrants who ruin the white cities and white nations cultures. Don't hire your actual citizens because they desire too much money an hour so you hire immigrants because they'll accept anything. It's a win-win. Jews get to save money on payroll and white countries get ruined.

Imagine getting mad because someone from another country with less access to technology, resources, and everything that comes with growing up in the third world is, in spite of that, more qualified for a job than someone who has the access to all the aforementioned

its like in the NBA when black americans get all mad that euros and africans who began playing basketball later in their life or as a second sport are better than them

>>150208007

Just throw the entire thread away

>>150208007
And yes people from alleged first world countries should be mad when the younger generation are told they don't want to work when they're being passed up on jobs so some central Americans can be given their jobs at minimum wage.

This rarely actually happens. When does it happen? Are the rape gangs in Europe doing better than the average European man? The Indian h1B recipient surely isn't better than the American tech worker. The average Mexican laborer from Mexico isn't better than the white American tradesman. And no I dont care for Euros taking over basketball, because they're doing it based on their pure talent, not because a CEO or business owner doesn't want to pay Americans fair waged.

No, I'm mad at artifical price increases from Blackrock and other companies that have monopolies over the products we all need or apartments. Minimum wage wouldn't be so bad if things could be afforded.

>if they can make ends meet with low income why cant others as well?
I've seen apartments where they're are at least 5 or 6 Mexicans living in a single one room apartment. Americans dont want to live like that. We want our own houses with a nice yard and have families. We can't afford a house when you're outbid by a real estate empire that doesn't re-sell the houses. These companies will buy everything, make it rent only, raise the price (artificially because there's no organic demand) while wages dont go up.

then you should redirect your hate at them not at the immigrants
just like american basketball youth should blame the AAU and all those shit programs instead of blaming euros and africans

>>150208431
There's no basketball on, jeetboy. Yet the talk of tranime and posting the same "meals" everyday is fine? Oh of course the discourse currently happening is making you uncomfortable considering you're a pajeet piece of trash yourself. Trash ass general. This is easily one of the most dead offseasons in recent memory. What is it one thread lasts a week at least now? Is this what happens when the discord all commits a mass suicide after the Celtics downfall so no more spam?

>>150208431
this is strictly about basketball sir
if you fail to see the similarities between the sport and life then why even watch the sport

True I can hate the people causing these issues while also wanting all immigrants to be sent back immediately and the border locked to any form of immigration. If only. Fuck the Blazers btw. Trash organization.

Larden dropped in the playoffs,

I will say that Clippers roster wise are better than the Lakers, just poorly coached, at the Clippers went seven games with the playoff Nuggets and took a series lead at one point

The Lakers got fucked at every corner by the Timberwolves and looked outgunned with JJ needed to play Luka and Bron for 40 mins

I for one stand with cam thomas
