>Russell: I let Wilt score, so his teammates would stand around and watch him unengaged, then i shut him down. And they couldn’t do anything because they were cold
/nba general/ GOAT edition
Hudson Morales
Isaac Scott
Why don’t teams do this strategy now? Is it just bad coaching? This could have easily worked against the lakers in 08-10 and they wouldn’t have won anything
Logan Jones
players on average have improved at making open 3s these days
Camden Reed
>implying Glenn "I needed the most games ever to win a chip" Rivers could do any reasonable strategy successfully
Austin Morris

When the Russians invade, there’s only 1 nba player who will be ready
Adam Scott
It's been how many years now, and people STILL don't understand this strategy is used all the fucking time.
Harden, Luka, etc. Any ball hog putting up big numbers is hurting their team now trusting their teammates and attempting to win as a team. You're not going far with a black hole chucker like Wilt, Melo, etc.
Owen Mitchell
for me, it's Michael Jordan
Isaac Thompson
replace dwinddie with monté morris and the series is 1-1
Ryder Mitchell
Ryder Hernandez

Robert Gutierrez

Julian Cox
>lockout shortened season so all players are fresher and not broken down ensuring that it will be an extremely hard playoff run with everyone playing at their peak physically and the person who dominates that is basically a monster
>u think that was the closeout game hahahahhaha
>first nba player in history to lead a 3-1 deficit team to victory (literally the goat ring)
>bubble ring in essentially laboratory conditions with all extraneous elements and distractions REMOVED distilling the game to literally 100% based around skill and hooping ability with everyone in their physical peak with zero distractions (essentially the purest measurement of talent in playoff history)
He drove all of his buses through the hardest roads and still got those plumbers to Valhalla at the end of the drives. Fucking GOAT.
Jason Powell
LeBron missed the playoffs with 5 HOFers and didn't even qualify for a play-in allowing him a greater chance of making the playoffs.

Jason Rodriguez
There are no active hall of famers in the nba. just say you don’t know hoops. LeBron has factually zero hall of famers on his team
Nathan Collins
you fags say the same shit about the heat. I’m done you people

Eli Lee
Lebron is trash and would barely make top 5.
Colton Gonzalez
When Lucan't saw CP3 cooking, the heat from the pan melted his lard ass
Camden Martin
>saying "u dont know hoops" in every reply when you're wrong
Your superiority complex is really obvious and cringe to others. Not sure how socially retarded someone has to be to to not notice this in themselves. Maybe therapy can teach you some self awareness because clearly your undiagnosed autism is making you oblivious to social cues that are obvious to others.
He isn't right. That user said 5 hall of famers which is a stretch for sure but some of those guys will likely get it. Regardless of all this it is an utter embarrassment that Lebron couldn't get into the playoffs with that team. Saying "u dont know hoops" as a rebuttable and defense mechanism every time you're wrong is beyond cringe.
Anthony Foster
