List of killers in the league. These are people who dont match up hunt like a pu***

They go at whoever is infront of them and have the killer instinct.

If you match up hunt like a bch....this list is not for you

if you cant get inside the 3point line without a pick. this list is not for you

if you need a guard to guard screen to get gary payton jr or jrue holiday off you......this.....is not for you

if you pass the ball to your point guard when the game is on the line and go stand in the corner like a *****.....this.....is not for you

If someone on your team takes all the big shots in the playoffs while you sit and watch...like a coward.... this is not for you

Every perimeter player in the league uses picks. You think Minnesota wanted Gobert on Doncic?

There is a difference between utilizing it and relying on it.

Sorry you were unable to make this fairly obvious distinction.

I'm not sure where type stupid begins and the obsession with replying to me ends. I suppose the reality is that they've become closely related.

[QUOTE=Real Men Wear Green;14992962]Every perimeter player in the league uses picks. You think Minnesota wanted Gobert on Doncic?[/QUOTE]

I strongly considered not adding him to the list. he was the only player on the fence. Well him and westbrook (as a role player now)


He does run a lot of pick and rolls i mean a lot....like a *****. but he can blow by anyone when he chooses to not be a *****. But he is a complete ***** vs kawhi leonard and almost never goes at him.


if you put his back to the wall, he will stop playing like a match up hunting bch and will just play ball. so he made the list.

Ummm where is Alperen Şengün?

do us all a favor and vacate the thread and pollute some other with your low iq nonsense

i had him on the list and edited him off. i need to see him and giddey do it in the playoffs


Giddey on the bulls is a killer but i dont know if its real. he actually is a killer on this team

Zion and Embiid should not be on this list. They should be on the on pain killer list. Sht hardly played this season.

Every team has one guy that is their best perimeter defender. Unless the size mismatch is bad they want that guy in the opponent's best scorer. That offensive player may well be able to score on that defender but he will have a much easier time creating offense for himself or a teammate of one of his bigs sets a pick and they can force a switch and possibly create an open look. Pick and roll is one of the most basic and common plays in basketball because it works. No one ever just leaves their point guard alone with Jrue Holiday for the whole game. It doesn't happen.

You can call some of them sorry....or overated or team killers because if anything they do too much....but one thing they are.....is a killa

Yeah i agree. He has been balling lately. Bulls could be decent next year.

You try so hard and it just never works out for you. Pathetic and yet I have no sympathy whatsoever.

Steph Curry doesn't get picks? The list doesn't make sense. The Celtics use plenty of picks like every team in the NBA.

Okay I'll rip the band-aid off...

...obviously just a Jokic thread :lol

Luka and Lebron are like black belt level mismatch hunters. That's what they built their primes on. Take endless screens til you get either a midget on you (like Jose barea, tony parker, curry etc.) or a big goof (rudy).

I don't think old school Kobe types even exist anymore. Somebody who relished embarrassing whoever his "stopper" was at the time. Not running like bitch for the whole shot clock til you find a weak player to take advantage of.

Analytics have come into play too much to play hero like that.

Out of OPs list, the only star players in the league that don't endlessly hunt mismatch are probably Kyrie, Durant, AD, Giannis, and Jokic. And maybe Ja Morant too he'll just recklessly go at anybody.

Jared Dudley talked about that before. With bron sleep walking to 30 where you don’t understand how he got there, and with Kobe where he dropped every point on your head and even if he has 30 it feels like 50

OP's agenda thread just backfired. Hilarious.

And are we really criticizing taking the path of least resistance when it comes to scoring? Is pump faking to get a defender in the air also being a *****? Is shooting because my defender is giving me too much room a ***** move?

Same thing with a team that has an easy path in the playoffs. Like that's the teams fault? Sorry, they didn't go through the gauntlet of having to play the 17 Warriors, 01 Lakers and 97 Bulls in a single postseason.

Making a list of NBA killers and leaving off Jayson Williams and Javaris Crittenton is like making a list of NFL killers and leaving off OJ and Aaron Hernandez.

This is what happens when Murray doesn't take the big shot.....Go back to hiding in the corner in the clutch or setting a screen for the actual killer in the clutch. Mr 50/40/90 aka Big Shot Mal

He plays in 50% of games where he shoots 40% from the field and is 90% healthy.

list update heading into the 2025 season. A dying breed in the nba

Dennis Schroder belongs on the list. Dude wants the smoke and is fearless.

Paolo Banchero









Is a killer.

I asked A.i to make the anti-killer list and it has spoken. Look who headlines the list!

To be fair, KAT did shed that reputation a little bit in these playoffs. Playing for Thibs did him some good. Let's see which KAT emerges under Mike Brown.

Randle? Randle is the reason the Wolves got past the Lakers in the playoffs. It sure wasn't because of Edwards.

^^^ that stuff is gone from today's league, aka the ability to beat your man without picks and posterize bigs that are waiting in the paint (not coming over to give late help).

So previous eras were better at beating their man with sheer moves - no picks - we're talking KJ, Tim Hardaway, Isiah, Mullin, Lewis, MJ, Drexler, Dominique, Tmac, Kobe, Penny, Hill, Iverson, Steve Francis etc

Austin Reaves
