still not enough games played together to really get a feel for it. Injuries ruined the season

even with those circumstances there is no excuse to miss the play-ins

This is inexcusable. Utah is fucking trash man. I don’t even like this team and I’m upset that these fucking frauds are allowed in the league

This decade is probably going to have as much parity as the 70s desu

I sense a few teams will emerge with their 1st championship over the next few years

Shaq really snatched spida's soul

you are such a fucking loser

you are such a fucking based poster

I hope so. That would be really good for the league. I want Suns to get a couple chips, it would be cool to see Memphis get one, and I would love to see KD and Kyrie get one more n finally bring a ship to Brooklyn

I didn't pay attention to this, what happened?

for the record, the 70s winners from 1970-1979 were NYK MIL LAL NYK BOS GSW BOS POR SEA (now OKC) & BAL (now WAS)
there only two teams with more than one championship

True parity is a meme. The NBA is shopping all the new stars to see which one is the most profitable potential dynasty.

That 78 Seattle Baltimore series is so kino. Wes Unseld was a one of a kind defender and I'm glad he didn't retire without a chip. The Bullets routinely got mogged in the finals in the 70s

>this Bronsexual is this fucking mad

11 teams don't have a championship. maybe 5-7 will remain without one by 2030.
Only the Pelicans & Hornets haven't appeared in a CF yet.
The Clippers, Timberwolves, Nuggets & Grizzlies have reached CFs but no NBA finals yet. Jazz (x2), Magic, Nets (X2), Pacers & Suns (X3) have reached the finals.
same feeling with Jerry West since he lost so many times to the Celtics in the 60s. unfortunately, Elgin Baylor retired in 1972 & couldn't contribute to the Lakers championship playoff run

Unseld is one of the most unheralded NBA legends. Kareem would often be asked who he hated going up against the most and he always said Unseld. If you were battling Unseld for an entire game he made you feel it

It was always sad to me that Elgin didn't get a ring in 72. His legs literally gave out before the season started. That Boston superteam was really different, I'm glad Jerry finally got his too.

lebron mogs all these dinosaurs being discussed rn lmao

meant to reply to you in the post above
Definitely one of the most underrated legends ever. I hate how defenders get underrated in the grand scheme like it doesn't contribute just as much if not more to winning. Dennis Johnson not being on NBA 75 is a joke

facts, none of these boomers could fuck with the league and what brons been thru

>and what brons been thru
I mean having your mom fucked by your teammate IS pretty rough, I'll give you that.

kek

well that guy ended up not well so lebron got the last laugh

didnt have to do it to em like that

That's one way of looking at it.
Another way is that LeBron's mom fucks homeless drug addicts.

what the fuck kek . Is a black man perpetually stuck at being a 12 year old. Like women do

You seen that clip of him talking about Book on JJ's podcast? Always makes me happy seeing players show eachother love off the court

average leftist

i bet u tryna see players show each other love in the locker room lmao

"BRAP

sniff...oh yes my dear....sniff....quite pungent indeed...is that....dare I say....sniff...eggs I smell?"

Kevin Durant

This general is shit at this time, fucking neckbeard hours. night losers.

kek what a faggot. Loving another man is ultra gay

You can only find this brilliant analysis on 5 am /nba/

Are you implying that this man is a homosexual?

kek those shorts say it all

The NBA was always full of this kind of 'horseplay'. You'd hear about how Jordan and Bill Cartwright would playfully tug on each others weewees in the locker room. There was just no phones with cameras to record these things.

for me its the eyebrows. No straight man has those eyebrows

>he actually got butthurt enough to reply... without denying it

Holy shit that fit is funnier the longer I look at it. It is screaming "IM A FAGGOT" lmfao

it's the way his knee points inwards and his heel raised that's feminine af

honestly, kinda based

Damn OKC fans were going through it when he left lmfao

Actually being mad enough to reply to online fan banter is only one step above snitching to refs to get fans thrown out for heckling.
It's weakmind shit.

in 2012, Luke Walton was still an NBA player

Nigga what?

dick measuring is a real thing among competitive high testosterone males

Measuring sure, but grabbing and tugging on each others dick? Nigga thats gay.
