Well shit I’d hope so. The guy can dunk without jumping. 

 

Most 7'4 type players in the past had absolutely no ability minus Yao Ming.

Bronny ain’t good enough.

He wasn't even good enough to play division 1 ball. I watched his entire HS career and he wasn't even the best on his team. 

 

It's a complete disgrace.

Lakers might end up getting Damian Lillard in a big trade. That would put them as a championship contender. Maybe LeBron gets one more ring before he calls it quits.

Or maybe Lillard is overrated ass and LeBum goes out second fiddle to the King MJ

Lillard isn't overrated at all. LeBron is still putting up great numbers at 40yrs old. And Anthony Davis is having his best year ever right now. They would cause major issues in the playoffs.

I splurged and got me a Derrick White autographed photo from the Finals. I love that dude. Ever since he started out with the Spurs. Guy is a class act off the court, too. So glad Boston was the team that traded for him and they've locked up him for the next several years.

Let’s be real. He wasn’t ever super star material. He got that lucky ass bounce in the playoffs. Been stealing money ever since. 

terrible take. in his prime he could go toe to toe with lebron steph and kd. you don’t know ball

No doubt about it when he is healthy he is a terrific player. But that's just it, when he's healthy and that is actually rare. 

 

His frequent injuries and lack of availability has hurt his legacy. But he'll end up in the HOF for having 2 rings and 2 final MVP's.

biggies statement was that “he wasn’t ever” 

 

yeah injuries have completely derailed his career but he was on the same level with some of the best all time players for a while there.

I can agree with that. He had a few monster years in between injuries. 

 

I know Stephen A said "I can make a legitimate argument that Kawhi Leonard is the worst superstar in the history of any sport". 

 

I completely agree with that. The guy has no personality or star qualities. His laugh will be what he's remembered for.

They beat the Celtics last night. In Boston. Without Trae Young and Bogdanvic their best shooters.

@Best any questions going forward should be addressed to @johnny  He is the D1P basketball expert. We don’t know ball like John John.

Johnny is an intelligent guy and I usually agree with him on most subjects on this forum.

You know who is surprising the hell out of me? LaMelo Ball! I despised his dad marketing his sons for all those years but LaMelo is averaging 30ppg and 6 assists. I used to watch him in HS and he wasn't the best player. But he grew like 6 inches and is extremely skilled. I'm impressed ngl.

@Biggie I warned you about Victor Wembanyama. He dropped 50pts last night.

Topics of the 76ers' team meeting after Monday's loss included Joel Embiid's tardiness, the desire to be coached harder and a call to urgency, sources told ESPN.

Lololol things are going well in Philly per usual

Joel Embiid is really showing his true colors right now. He's a whiny bitch and doesn't have the work ethic to truly be one of the best centers. Fuck him and the sixers.

Good game tonight with the 15-0 Cavaliers vs Celtics. 

 

Celtics won breaking the streak and also sent a message to the east that they are the defending champs.

There’s no way the Cavs keep winning at this pace all season. Boston will win the East.

I don't know enough about the league to really predict anything. But yea, the Celtics are still a favorite to end up in the finals again.

I'd just like to point out that Nikola Jokić is making a mockery out of the NBA. 

 

Stats so far this season:

 

30.0 points, 14.0 boards, 11.5 assists

He's not marketable at all. He seriously doesn't give a shit about anyone. It's hilarious watching him in interviews.

Na. Cavs are just not that great. But I don't want to hijack this thread with the NBA. 

Bro the Cavs are one of the top teams in the league. 17-3

 

2 of those losses were from the Hawks on back to backs.

Even with the best record they are no real threat overall. They just got into a good rhythm. When they faced the Celtics they buckled under pressure and lost.

@CastlevaniaNut18 Your Celtics are the real deal. Now they have Porzingis back and they are playing extremely well. If they stay healthy they are winning a championship again this year.
