I'm afraid to speak too much for my personal safety but all I am going to say is that Covid-19 is only the beginning Everything will go back to normal by the summer and in the coming years, probably the year of the next election they're going to hit us with something else. And gradually strip away more of our freedoms

Remember when vaccine passports was just a conspiracy theory? I warned you guys what they were going to do and most of you didn't listen

Can confirm this is 100% true. I remember those discussions as well on TV or with friends.

Because these dudes saying this weren't watching basketball those years. All of us who did, know that Duncan was indisputably the best on every championship run except maybe his last where he was more of a 1B to Kawhi's 1A

There was never talk that Pippen was "really the MVP" after a Finals was over, whereas people still say Gasol was the real FMVP Ultimately, Pippen wasn't an offensive player; Gasol was.. he was an offensive "go-to" player that commanded doubles - he could exploit matchups and force opponents to gameplan Pippen was more like a Draymond Green...

The Lakers don’t suck when AD sits. They’re still a plus team with AD off-court. +1.1. The Lakers suck when LeBron sits. -3.2!!!! That is their primary issue even when AD is available and it has only been exacerbated without AD.

Why does lebron lack the skill to fit with Ingram, Hughes, OT, Crowder, Rose, Bosh and many more? It seems like he infact DOESN'T have the skill, and needs a new manufactured cast every few years that he mostly loses with.. he mostly loses everywhere he goes

Modern day Bill Russell is Scottie Pippen. He’s relatively modern. Neither thought about stats when they played.

I agree. Kobe sent MJ into a 2nd retirement

In a nutshell, shooters went AWOL. Still no. 1 defense in the league and they’re getting a ton of open shots.

The Utah Jazz are cooperating with an NBA investigation into former guard Elijah Millsap’s allegation that executive vice president of basketball operations Dennis Lindsey made bigoted comments during a 2015 end-of-season meeting, sources told ESPN. The probe will include the sharing of detailed notes taken in the April 2015 meeting that was...

What an idiot. Hope he likes watching the all star game from home.

You think Gasol > Pippen?

Pippen was less help than everyone else had... :confusedshrug: So you're saying mj deserves knocks because he didn't have MORE help? Is that what you're saying?? everyone in history that won 3 Finals needed a teammate to win FMVP or average 25 ppg for at least 1 of the Finals.. But Pippen is 0/6 in FMVP and peaked at 21 ppg, so only MJ...

Kobe & Duncan also won titles with different casts, Jordan never even had a winning season without Pippen

Nice thread. Don't forget Derrick Rose, who Lebron kicked out of Cleveland while he was struggling with injury, only to return to elite level in 2018/19 for the Wolves and 2019/20 for the Pistons. If Lebron wasnt such an insecure ring chasing bitch, and he actually waited for DRose to get over his injury issue for the playoffs in 2018, maybe he...

Kobe and Duncan shouldn't feel ashamed because everyone in history needed an equal-scoring partner (1b) for half of their rings except the goat, who won 6 rings with a true 2nd option that averaged far less in every playoffs. Teammate scoring matters because equal-scoring teammates attract equal defensive attention, so only MJ faced "1-man...

1-9

The history rewriting to make the 3 peat Lakers not be Shaqs team will work one day just not when the people being told it remember the league at the time. That’s an argument to convince 19 year olds. The question those years was is Shaq the GOAT.....most dominant ever....and if Kobe was better than Tmac and AI. Laugh if you like. I was on ISH...

I wouldn't even disagree if someone said peak for peak Kawhi was better, but all time? Nah, when Kobe has 3x the All-NBA selections and Kawhi has less career points than Serge Ibaka, he's got a significant ways to go to reach him on the all-time list

. Everyone in history that won 3 Finals needed a teammate to win FMVP or average 25 ppg for at least 1 of the Finals.. But Pippen is 0/6 in FMVP and peaked at 21 ppg, so only MJ could win 3 or 3-peat with Pippen. Furthermore, everyone in history needed an equal-scoring partner (1b) for half of their rings except the goat, who won 6 rings with...

Has anyone lost to weaker opponents in the Finals than LeBron? Jason Terry...

Pippen actually quit on his team during the playoffs. He was butthurt that Phil called the last play for kucoc, threw a hissy fit and refused to go back in the game. Sure enough Toni hit the game winner. Pippen and Phil both walked off the.ciurt stone faced while the rest of the team was celebrating. Bizarre scene.

Lebron has no goat feats Nothing about his resume, stats or skills is considered goat Otoh, Jordan had the goat fadeaway, mid-range game, and 2-point jumpshot He also had the best production rate (stats) with more totals than anyone through 1072 games Finally, he has goat winning - the most rings in 3-pointer basketball as the best...

Some of you have short memories - especially about 2005 Manu and Kawhi's role on the 2014 Spurs (sans the last 3 games of the Finals). The entire regular season and playoffs: 2005 RS Duncan 20.3 pts 11.1 rebs 2.7 asst 2.6 blks 49.6%FG Manu 16 pts 4.4 rebs 3.9 asst 1.6 stl 47.1%FG Parker 16.6 pts 3.7 rebs 6.0 asst 1.2 stl 48.2%FG 2005...

Lol nah, Kobe was the clear sidekick in 2000 but he was All-NBA and a top 10 player. 2014 Kawhi was a role player
