>In 2010, YWN reported that Pinto met with NBA player LeBron James on a yacht, where he paid Pinto a staggering six figures to give him “business advice”.

His dumb ass stood for Israel long before anyone else did. How do you think he got to where he is now?

>Lakers nation
The Los Angeles Lakers announced that Lebron James called out a disrespectful fan on Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs.
The fan could be heard yelling Bronny (James) MVP chants sarcastically in the crowd. The fan (who owned season tickets) was promptly removed from their seats and told they were not allowed back in the arena after the incident.

>>151835538
I went to a Mercury game last summer and as I was in the plaza in front of Talking Stick/Footprint or whatever it's called now I saw him with a 5 foot tall Latina with the most outrageously large ass I have ever seen on a human being going through security together. I'm assuming that's a factor. He could fuck any of the millions of women in Phoenix for the rest of his life.

LeGreed is absolutely shameless

love watchin the clippers

Its a lot of bad things that they wishin and wishin

Why the fuck is anyone even watching this garbage

>>151836286
shais wife not even bad

Suns are my favourite team in the NBA to watch right now. Glad I switched off the bucks to them, despite the irony of a worse record. They keep up the ball movement way better than bucks because booker is a way better playmaker than Giannis, and the supporting players are too, because some can actually have the instinct to drive too. And more willing passers. Bucks basically just got Ryan Rollins and Giannis.

Hope they dont disappoint me like the bucks did, theyve been playing pretty well even without their 2nd and 3rd offensive (and 2nd defensive) player. Hope it keeps up

Clippers need Ben Simmons.

Y'all think Lebron was in those streameast chats? With how media trained it is wouldn't surprise me if he blew off steam there

>>151835463
there's no need for a true point guard since your 7' guy can just carry the ball up and down the court and 5 turnovers per game is acceptable

I know, but he makes those. When his team starts bricking every opening he creates, he has to.

>>151836934
fuark. i believed he would be good, i should've bet

Mavs fans really switched up on Luka and backed Nico after they got Flagg and then switched right back to crying about the trade not even 10 games into the season after they realized he's not as good as Luka. Absolutely subhuman fanbase.

>>151834636
What was this retard saying again?
>>151835572
I do agree with this shit though, the bullshit these players pull, they dont deserve a championship, let alone sniffing the playoffs, rooting for the suns Saturday too

>>151837073
The worst part is despite this, Mavs are one of the top 3 teams attendance wise apparently

Silver really only had one game today nigga made me eat these wings watching this sad ass game I hope the FBI gets his ass

>>151837073
I don't think mavs fans ever switched up since this whole thing was a predictable sequence of bad events, sans the draft pick, and the fire Nico chants literally never stopped. The most hilarious part about all of this is the mavs would be title tier if they just kept Luka but now they're a laughingstock

>Mavs fans really switched up on Luka

literally no one did that.

Suns, don’t get used to the JG you saw tonight. There’s a reason we got rid of the retard even when he occasionally puts up games like this.

>>151837127
They did. I closely monitored their subreddit and social media after they won the draft and the switch up was almost instant. Anyone dare mention the the trade or Nico after that and they'd get dogpiled to stfu and go cheer for fatty on the Lakers. And now for the past few weeks it's back to every post just crying about how missing Luka.

>>151837127
> the fire Nico chants literally never stopped.

This

They used to kick you out for fire Nico chants, but now they just let them go on because everyone does it. At no point has any Mavs fan accepted the trade or supported it.

>>151837154
>There’s a reason we got rid of the retard even when he occasionally puts up games like this.
Dont worry, Dbook carries

Rockets winning it all

im a mavs fan who's accepted the trade but doesnt support it. ive been a mavs fan my entire life. shit will not change.

>And why aren't they playing the rookies they drafted from this draft year?
I dont know either. Suns have some good potential rookies, buf apparently the suns coach doesnt like testing guys out like that. Suns are also down 5 losses, so maybe they cant afford to experiment till they go on a streak and lose it.

>>151837397

>>151837804
giddey 100% because of team record. deni could sneak in the all star game as a reserve.

>>151837812
WHY THE FUCK IS A NUMBER 1 PICK IN THE RUNNING FOR MIP

>>151837812
his stats are the same as last year. he's not getting MIP, or MVP, but he's a lock for DPOY if he qualifies.

>>151837243
both him and john wall suck
no wonder the wizards never went anywhere

>>151837655
How many players have averaged 40 in a 5 game stretch? Not just begging of the season.
Maybe harden?
Cause even guys who drop 60 and 70 once would drop 30 for the rest and average less than 40 in a 5 game stretch.

>>151837983
no, itll be the suns, see you in febuary when we see who is right so far, and then finally in april where the winner wins...nothing but brownie points.

Defense wins championshipsbros.... have we been duped?

Btw the Mavs' offense is so shit none of the defensive top 5 of the last 5 years is even close to that kind of toxic net rating. The nearest is the Magic last year and they "only" had a -0.08 Net with the 2nd best defense

https://youtu.be/ePrlEVOBowo?t=6m
Booker is underrated. There are seriously people who think that Klay Thompson, or Reggie Miller, or fucking Manu are better Shooting Guards all time, just because 2 of those guys were on some of the most stacked teams all time with great coaches (Manu actually deserves way more credit than Klay, he atleast deserves one FMVP) and one of those guys played against Michael Jordan and was clutch and NBA players love clutch playoff plays.

Manu is the only one Ill even entertain being as good, but Book clears.

What went right with the pistons? It's just 2 years ago they had that insane losing streak

>>151837975
lol no, you're giving up something from booker

what excuse did we make for Jokic again in the 2024 playoffs?

>>151838056
The real question is what went so, so wrong for Monty Williams. He coached a Finals-bound team after winning the coach association awards twice, then he turned around and masterminded the atrocious Pistons season

Kuming "Can't hit an open fadeaway. Gst baited into posting up and stumbles into a travel once the player realizes he has no bag or handle and needs to rely on brute physicality" tard...

Honestly I feel bad for Kuminga sometimes, I wouldnt be so hard on him if his deranged fans did not inflate him to absurd heights, and praise virtually every little thing he succeeds at off the back of his inherent athletic traits. I saw a Kumingtard fan legit say that Dennis Schroeder tripped him on that post up bait. THAT is how delusional Kuminga fans are.

>>151838132
nigga he is sick you retard, also cup games count as regular season games, makes no sense to skip out on them for fun unless youre retarded, or you think youre the 07 suns and will go on two 15 game win streaks later in the season.

>>151837965
people are overreacting about the mavs. They're slowly stopping the retarded lineups and shit like point flagg. I don't think they'll be great but a lot of their problems are self inflicted

>>151838138
I don't care I hate the tournament, if teams skip out on them just like any other regular games then maybe Silver will get that it's a shit idea

Bradley beal might be the goat

>>151838135
Why are there so many Kuminga fans out there?

Is cam thomas out for the season? The nets might win the nba cup

>>151838163
Losing is good for them anyway. They obviously aren’t real contenders. AD doesn’t fit with their centre rotation, Kyrie isn’t a number one, clearly Flagg will take some time to figure things out. I hope they blow things up, draft Stirtz, and build around him, Christie, Flagg, and Lively. They would get some good picks from trading Kyrie and AD, and would still have good role players in Gafford, Washington, Marshall, Williams, etc

>>151838056
they got rid of killian hayes and drafted a dawgson brother

My nba finals is the kings vs the nets. Russ will retire as the highest scoring point guard, highest rebounding guard, and nba champion.

>has the narrative
>has the stats
is there any way Luka doesnt win MVP this season besides catastrophic injury?

>another season of the nba robbing joker of mvp
narrative league is fake and gay

>>151840258
he doesnt even want MVP, everytime he gets an MVP is a time he has to spend doing boring shit

>>151839088
He JUST got his jersey retired Grizzlies are fucking cursed

>>151840240
He's not going to play enough games. He's already missed 4 out of 9 games. He always get minor injuries throughout the season. It's not happening.

MVP will come down to Jokic vs SGA again. Jokic will have better overall stats and efficiency, SGA will have better team record and defense. Same debate as last year.

Giannis would be in the convo but his team won't be good enough.
Luka won't play enough games, and the Lakers will probably be the 5 or 6 seed.

>>151840339
>List of 4x MVPs
Kareem
Jordan
Russell
LeBron
Wilt

If the race is close at all, they're not gonna let Jokic into that club before he wins another chip. SGA would have to get injured or something.

>>151840339
If Spurs seeds better than Nuggets Wemby's is giftwrapped
He and his team is going to have to adapt to strats to contain him all season long though

>>151840359
> they're not gonna let Jokic into that club
I feel the same way. They dont want to put jokic in that category

>>151840339
Its honestly so hard to picture anyone winning over SGA for the foreseeable future

>>151840303
the irony of the whole situation is that Tony Allen was supposed to have his jersey retired years ago but got arrested for welfare fraud.

>>151840214
crazy that nico didn't get reaves
what an absolute brainlet

>>151836076
That’s not even fair, he should only fuck tall girls

>>151840406

>>151840412
ay man he a real one bruh

>>151840372

Spurs would be fortunate to avoid the play-in. No way they finish ahead of the Nuggets.

>>151840359

>>151840406
SGAy is gonna win da mvp every year until his team loses in the playoffs, which is perfectly fine
if anybody has a problem with it maybe they should beat him and this gay "we're all friends xd" league can be competitive again

>>151840425
Yeah but thats the thing its way more likely for Jokic to miss more games/get injured than Sga

The fact that sga barely goes for power dunks or contested drives anymore makes him even more durable

>>151840406
Wemby

>>151840460
can anyone stop him from 3peating?

>>151840455
What? Jokic is one of the most durable players in the league. He's never had a major injury, whereas SGA has. SGA's pkaystyle is way more prone to injury than Jokic who barely jumps and never falls to the ground.

>>151840539
yeah at worst Jokic will dislocate a finger. I think the only even missed a lot of games last season because his wife was giving birth

Jokic will win if the Nuggets are 2nd in the West

>>151840413
Nikek will go down in history

Zydeco

We're never seeing another American MVP ever again are we?

As a Denver fan I hate to admit it but the Nuggets are frauds. They lost to the only 2 good teams they've faced so far.
Phoenix is gimped by their contract situation. Minnesota was missing Ant. Pels and Kangz no explanation needed. Bam left the game early, giving Jokic free reign on the court against the Heat

>>151840868
It's only going to continue since tonight the Warriors will be short-handed with Steph out and maybe Jimmy and Dray too

>>151840841
Cooper Flagg bros...

>>151840437
They looked pretty hot starting out but you might be right. We might be seeing a tight middle seeding race again this year though
>>151840406
Hot take: Josh Giddey

>>151840575
not if doncic, wemby, or sga have the 1 seed

black americans lost the sport once the game moved away from playing defense and shooting mid rangers

>>151840997
I'm taking Shai 1 seed as a given, but I think the narrative would swing in Jokic's favour if Nuggets are 2nd

If Nugs lose tonight against no Steph we should bury talks about a 4th MVP

>>151841019
Nobody's going to remember a stinker in November

>>151841028
>TODAY MATTERS
>THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

>>151841017
nah, black media was trying to give sga the mvp 2 seasons ago when their team records were the same. If sga and the thunder have a better record, he is winning another

>>151841047
Maybe you're right.

Kidd has been setting Flagg up for failure by playing him as the lead ball handler so early on. I hope he continues to play a point guard alongside him from now on.

is the nba still pushing that nail polish faggot onto young black males? thats some actual buck breaking shit right there

>>151837773
If he plays like this consistently it’s kinda over for the league. Wish he was still in the east’s, free finals trip every year. And his contract is a steal

Why are Slavs so good at basketball? Hell even Pete Maravich was of Serbian heritage

>>151839502
bait

>>151841599
The European youth basketball development program is much better than the AAU shit here. Much like the youth Japanese baseball system vs here in the states.

Also slavic people descend from slaves, slave masters only let the strongest slaves breed to make better slaves for the future. It’s the same thing here with black people.

>>151841599
eastern euros are also known as slavs. aka slaves. You dont need that much brain power to figure out why theyre good at basketball

>>151841557
That's the 16 year old? She looks walled already

>>151841620
>>151841638
So because my ancestors owned slaves my bloodline will never be good at basketball? That’s unfair.

Do Americans actually think all Slavs were slaves like black Americans were or is it a meme

>>151841688
Where do you think the word “slav” comes from?

>>151841688
no
americans think the only slaves to have ever existed are black american slaves

>>151841688
>colonizer doesn’t know his history
Typical.

>>151841703
The word ‘slave’ comes from ‘Slav’, and for the most part those enslaved Slavs are not even antecedents of modern day Slavs. It’s kind of like calling a Nigerian the descendent of slaves because black Americans originally from Nigeria were enslaved.

Giannis doesn't like to screen and roll. When Dame first got traded, everyone was shitting their pants about muh unstoppable Dame and Giannis P&R and that never materialized at all.

>>151842388
Giannis inverted screen with AJ Green is the unstoppable play

>>151840731

he's supposed to be celebrating big wins over real teams not showboating on a gleaguer while his team's gonna finish 2-80

>giving up on Hooper Flagg before Thanksgiving
I'm shleeeeeeeeeeeeep. Should have seen how /nba/ was talking about Wemby early on too.

i think this court looks really cool but that mandatory trophy decal is so damn ugly

>>151842848
Apparently this dude is better at basketball than any of us here and it's not even close. How do you all feel about that?

>>>/wsg/6022991

what did he mean by this

Flagg finna drop 30 tonight

>>151840304
>He always get minor injuries throughout the season
And got 5 all-nba and all-star.
He only missed out with a major injury

WWENBA king of the ring is trash and nobody cares about it

>>151840460
Phoenix and Indy courts look great. idk about their teams though.

>>151843293
If they play an actual point guard then it’s possible. Just needs those threes to start falling

>>151843185
As Scalabrini said, the distance between him and Lebron is smaller than the distance of normies and him basketball skill wise

My magic surely will win tonight

>>151842848
>Flagg really hit this guy with a too little gesture

i like that. in the 1950s you wouldnt see that because they'd have a whole "us white boys gotta stick together" code where they don't attack eachother. the fact that coop embarrasses a fellow whiteboi and then doubles down on it basically means racism is no longer an issue in america

>>151843388
But will it be because or despite of the Paolo/Franz connection?

>>151843422
Despite of. Today will be the big guy Bane hard carrying

>>151842848
I don't always trust the narrative. Sometimes athletes put up respectable numbers and there's still a shadow over them. I think of like Duncan Robinson getting clapped on every def possession. Bol Bol blowing every def assignment then refusing to swing it on offense.

I haven't been watching McClung's games, but he's not coming off the bench and putting donuts across the box score.

>>151843185
He's undersized and doesn't have the offensive skills of a brunson to save himself. In the nba at 6'2 you're a manlet

Magic are bad because Wagner barely touches the ball. I hope they trade him

>>151843516
Denver is an awful place up in the mountains

>>151843533
Suggs, Banchero, and Tyus Jones when on the floor, then it’s split pretty evenly between Wagner, Bane, and Black. Paolo and Suggs just aren’t good enough handlers and creators to justify it

>>151843614
My theory is that Tyus Jones is a cursed player dude has the most loser aura. Its carrying out to the magic

Just like it did for the suns recently

>>151843614
Nor is Jones I should add

>>151843649
Yeah he’s shit. How tf can you be a manlet in the nba and not be able to shoot

>>151843596
shit, a good white player wouldnt care, and they still wont join

>>151843703
Jokic’s play style doesn’t really suit other stars

>>151843720
his playstyle literally lets some random dribble the air out of the ball for major stretches of any game

>>151843703
Free agents pick the team that offers more money and there at 29 other destinations. Ring chasing is a thing of the past, now it's bag chasing first

>>151843720
uhh... just cut to the rim or stand behind the 3 point line

>>151843743
Well yeah the only way to fit another on-ball star around him would be to replace Murray with a different pnr ball handler. That would have to be done via trade though realistically

Who is the best player in the NBA, Jokic or Luka?

>>151843796
they just need a sharp shooting all star. not tim hardaway jr

what are the good matchups today

>>151843819
It's been Giannis for 7 years straight

Lakers are the real deal

>>151843824
Who though? If all they’re going to do is shoot, cut, and defend then they can find role players to do that (which they have done well).

>>151843819
Jokic has won 3 mvps and a ring
Doncic has err umm uhh well he makes some cool 3 pointers (shooting 30.5% from three this season)

>>151843819
Jokic. Luka’s only plus over Jokic is volume scoring. If I need some to completely carry and take most of the shots I’d pick Luka. In every other scenario, I’d pick Jokic.

>yesterday I asked what excuses people make for Jokic 2024 playoffs
kek
>realizing I shouldnt have asked because of course it would be blaming the same player who whenever is injured or missing, they use as an excuse to why Jokic couldnt get it done
>blaming a player that has more onball responsibilities than jokic and usually has to deal with the opposing teams best defender whereas jokic can just catch the ball in the most and spin or pass while everybody moves around him
hilariously retarded general.

>>151843911
Jokic would average 40 over a season if he wanted to be as inefficient as Luka

Should we have a GOAT debate before the coveted NBA Emirates Cup games start?

For me, it's the all-time pound for pound GOAT Allen Iverson.

wemby is pretty pathetic. you're a full foot taller than players and they've already shut you down.

he is back to wembust status after a couple of games

>>151844050
It’s literally only been 2 games. Calm down.

When will Wemby get a career ending injury?

>>151844084
he would shorten his career if he starts doing that

>>151844209
We got the better younger player and draft pick. Cam can return to form and we’d have still won the trade.

been crestfallen with my warriorers lately

>>151844238
you got a massive, untradeable contract and a draft pick. The nugs got a more versatile, better fitting piece on a cold streak. It's a wash

>>151844256
watch as they bullshit their way into a W tonight

>>151844256
sometimes i think instead of the "warriors", they actually are the "worriers"...

>>151844217
Here's hoping Embiid flops like never before this season.

https://youtu.be/0Hefon8WsdU?t=1m53s
Why would Zubac hedge in this situation? The Paint is wide open. If he hedges, all Gillepsie needs to do is move like 2 feet to the right so that his man cant help on the roll, and if he chooses not too, then he concedes a wide open 3 if Dbook is patient enough.

See, this is my problem with these videos. It sort of strips the fact that Basketball is not chess. Its not a game that could possibly even be played by robots, even the most athletic robot created. There are counters and actions for everything. Basketball is a game about creating and leveraging advantages, and clogging up and stopping those advantages. Unless its particularly egregious. If NBA players are doing something "wrong" its because theyre sacrificing another option that "could" be worse. This isnt ALWAYS the case of course, some people are just lazy defenders, some people switch late, some people are bad at fighting over screens, some people dont ice quickly enough etc. etc. But this is not the situations he points out here.

Dbook is going to hit almost any middy he gets, but he cant win a game single handedly if his team is playing trash, we saw that with the warriors. He dropped 38 on them and still lost. Suns were -19 with Book off the court

Clippers are probably thinking early that they can give book all the shots he wants but aslong as they limit his playmaking and advantage creation that theyll win. Now I dont know for sure whether this is the case, but id just wager a guess based on how they've played the matchup.

Feels like this is the year where Steph, Bron, and KD just need to let it go

you know... i think inceltic may have been right...

>>151844425
we was done with them old ass nigga 2 years ago when KD was getting swept, Lebron getting gentlemen's swept, and Curry losing in the play-ins. We're objectively in a different era of sgas, lukas, ants, and jokics with the Wemby era right around the corner

>>151844457
Oh yeah the era changeover happened a while back. What I meant is that they need to retire before it gets ugly.

>>151844280
How is his contract untradeable and he was already traded directly after his worst playoff performance? Now he’s playing at all star level, the Nets could easily move him but why would they and they can barely hit the salary floor?

And how is Cam more versatile when Porter Jr is better than him at everything?

>>151844238
netlican bros we're on the upswing

my wizard

Netlican chads always have the last laugh

>>151844479
he was traded to the only team with cap and it took an unprotected first. He is not playing at allstar level, he's just putting up stats on a trash team with mediocre efficiency, bad by his previous standards. It would take picks or at least taking back bad contracts to move him

Cam is also a better defender, better at keeping the flow of the offense, and straight up isn't as up and down in effort even though he's shooting poorly. One of the most underreported stories of the season is that the nugs defense is straight up good now and a big part of that is no longer having to cover for mpj's lapses

>>151844425
shut the fuck up retard

>>151844567
Your boy’s washed leaf

https://youtu.be/NwvBAg61674?t=28s
The only time (that ive watched) where hes right about anything, and agreeable, is when it has to do with Jonathan Kumingtard, because he is genuinely a zero IQ player overhyped, and overprotected by retarded fanbases. There is no STRATEGY or "Ill give this up, for this other advantage/coverage" with Kumingtard. He is just an extremely retarded defender, and an offensive player who can literally only run and dunk, and if he doesnt get the free way to run and dunk, he somehow sucks at scoring through contact despite his athleticism, so he racks up most of his points on freethrows, in transition, or making the basic cut, and thats not consistent enough offense as most offense is halfcourt and warriors defense isnt good enough to constantly force transition play.

>>151844606
I know. That doesnt mean I want you talking about it until he doesnt make the playoffs.

>>151844632
Fair enough kek

there are 2 belgian guys in the nba, both drafted in the second round, one is toumani camara and another one is ajay mitchell, so i think belgian fans have to be pretty happy with how they are performing as they are both developing nicely and trending upwards

>>151844559
So MPJ shooting 46% from the field means the Nets lost the trade because he’s inefficient but Cam shooting 38% means the Nuggets won? Or let me guess, Cam’s efficiency will improve to average for his career whereas MPJ’s will not?

Cam Johnson is not so much better of a defender than MPJ (average on that end by every available defensive metric) to mitigate his lack of production, rebounding, and passing. Also yes the Nets got a future unprotected pick in addition to the better player in the trade, we’ve covered this the Nets won the trade

>>151844683
>so i think belgian fans have to be pretty happy with how they are performing as they are both developing nicely and trending upwards
belgian fans probably dont know ball, probably rooting for whichever loser from their country is on a major soccer team

>>151844729
I never said the nets lost the trade, I said it was a wash. Cam will have positive regression more inline with his normal averages because that's what typically happens to everybody and that's before you get to the Jokic bonus. MPJ is less likely because the whole structure of the nets is fucking stupid and he's doing all types of shit outside of his scope which is why he's already taking a hit with nor reason to think that will get better.

Cam being average on D is better than mpj being bad on D. Cam is a straight up better passer and off the dribble creator but he's on way less volume than MPJ who's masquerading as a #1 so of course he will have lesser numbers. MPJ is indeed a straight up better rebounder, probably shooter too, but as a 3rd-5th option Cam is better in the role and the nets are getting no real value out of mpj outside of the pick they got. The only way the nets "win" the trade is if they can flip him for something else good or he becomes a major piece to their future, both of those are unlikely

>>151844683

>>151846254
Fat Luka was completely unprepared for the athleticism of Brown and Tatum

Damn these Celtics are straight up racist. They cut all black players and the only black guy they have on the floor is lighter than Pritchard.

>>151846281
He was injured and Kyrie was a ghost. Luka just paddled Wemby, I don't think Gaytum and "Jaylen" are an issue. for him.

>>151846243
They just made threes that’s all there was to it.

>>151846293
pretty much

Tall guy vs tall guy game about to start :D

now taylor rooks is a black bitch i would want to fuck

What’s the best path for Mavs fans? Trading AD and going all in on a Flagg rebuild? Hoping healthy Ad And Kyrie can win the ship with young flagg ? Because they still probably lose to Denver, Thunder, rockets, lakers, warriors, etc
By the time Flagg is good enough to matter AD and Kyrie will probably be out of their prime.

Maybe if Mavs tank they can get the #1 pick this year too

Senguns such a dog. Love that nigga.

There’s a reason everyone calls them alien merchants

Wemby should learn to shoot 3s since no one can ever contest him. Don't bother driving into the paint and risk turning the ball over.

GREEN CHADS we won

>>151846476
I don’t care for the cup either but if I were in San Antonio I would wanna this matchup. Two of the most interesting teams in the nba. I’ll probably end up going to an nba game in Texas this year.
