Today's spaced out, hands-off format = robotic scorers and skills, such as downhill/PNR spamming.. It's simpleton basketball that underperforms favored talent in tougher international formats.
Otoh, the lesser spacing and physicality of previous eras produced sophisticated scorers that developed the touch and instinct to score in traffic and...
They try to include it in the "5 rangz" chant, but it's super embarrassing. Kobe was basically a slightly worse version of prime Pippen in 2000, while Shaq ended up HARD carrying Kobe in the finals. Even if the Kobe stans want to claim "he was injured", then that just means Shaq's carry job is even more impressive. Kobe still shot 25 shots per...
In President Donald J. Trump’s first five months in office, real wages for hourly workers have seen their largest increase under any administration in nearly 60 years — and we’re just getting started with pro-growth, pro-prosperity policies that finally put America First.
Blue-collar workers have seen real wages grow almost two percent in the...
I never saw him Joining any recreational league during the summer. He just relied on books. You should experience playing basketball before you try coaching. I should have been a varsity player but due to our personal feud I was cut in our team. I just get my revenged after our section beat his team during the finals. I won the finals mvp and...
So Ayton signing with the lakers is the most obvious move right?
EDIT: DAMN, ol slip of the finger. just came from fingering walkonwater's mom and as i was typing with my unwashed hand, my finger slipped and hit the submit button.
Lebron James has ended his free agency by opting in for another year with the Lakers.

Terrible news for Lakers fans, as Lebron, AKA "LeShrivel", has been a net negative for the last 5 years. ...
Jalen and Chet are both eligible for 250-296 million.
I think it’s 250 or so but goes up with an all NBA pick. Jalen was already all NBA so I think one more would elevate the back end of his deal to just shy 300 million But feel free to correct me.
I’m not gonna ask you which one they should keep short term because they will probably pay...
I like how Shames opted in for $53mil then said i wanna play for a championship. No team has 50mil of dead cap that trading for Bron will make them a contender. Even if Phx offloaded Beal to the Lakers that team isn't any better than the current Lakers. If the Lakers threw in a draft picks for Porter maybe that works. Cavs don't have the...

Sad stuff. War crimes and atrocities being committed daily with little oversight. How is this good for...
His shooting percentages (FG%, 2PT%, TS%) were never as high as Shaq's, Kareem's, Barkley's, Dantley's, Wilt's, Jokic's, and McHale's. And yet, he's often considered the best in the post. My personal opinion is that, while still one of the pivot greats, his post-up game was overrated due to its aesthetic appeal. No one has a prettier low-post...

GM- john H. got everyone back ... now we need a 5 :applause::applause::applause:
The Memphis Grizzlies and All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. are expected to agree to a five-year, $240 million maximum renegotiation-and-extension, with a player option in the final year of the deal in 2029-30, sources told ESPN.
The new contract adds four years to the existing 2025-26 season on Jackson's deal. The head of CAA Basketball, Austin...
Yolk out here GOATing again.
I do agree with OP that Hakeems short comings are rarely highlighted, only his success is celebrated. He doesn't get one ounce of the microscope treatment other GOATs get.
