/nba/ general - SOON edition

with how inflated stats have gotten recently, I think we should change the definition of a triple double to 15+/15+/15+. That way it would actually be a special occasion and not something any old shitty player can accomplish by statpadding.

Id imagine the majority of NBA players have watched Jordan play at some point in their life. Lebron hasn’t been the most winning player in his career so to suggest they’re mad at a guy who is not in the playoffs for beating them is facetious.

“Just remember Michael when you played you won every finals series and finals MVP. I went 2-4 and only one of those losses came from Boston. I went 1-2 against the shitty ass Knicks with two first ballot Hall of Famers on my team.”

how the fuck is kobe behind lebron. the disrespect is real in this one smfh

I don’t think he cares about his son being a faggot, he put the picture on Snapchat after all. He’s got so many kids and side babies it doesn’t matter how any individual child turns out. Plus his son isn’t even mixed so why would he care?

Nothing wrong with this, for the most part white guys aren't being problematic around their minority fans. They're expressing toxic sentiments around other white guys, which puts an intelligent and moral white guy like Korver in a bind. Risk making his friends uncomfortable or play no role in preventing the propagation of at best problematic and at worst dangerous ideals. Korver is saying white guys should choose to be responsible as opposed to not wanting to make their racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic friends uncomfortable.

I agree on that one, but Beverley has been rested longer than him. He got a hip pointer and they claimed he needed to recover but thats just a bruise and Beverley is tough as fuck, he could play if he really wanted, they just decided to give him the rest of the season off so hes crisp and ready for the Playoffs. Gallo played for 5 more games after Beverleys injury but was rested against the Warriors, and will probably rest against the Jazz.

He’s the one that usually tries to injure other players.

The overall sp. rating reflects a players individual impact on their Conference and the League in general.

Giannis has sparked the Bucks on to clinching the the league in the regular season. (A historically sparky accomplishment for a historically unsparky team) He’s also led the bucks to be tied with the Raptors for the team most like to face off against (and lose) to the Warriors in the Finals, according to the current S.P.A.R.K.S. Rating system that is.

Embiid, on the other hand, has recently taken a large sp. hit after going out for his recent knee alignment. Plagued with injuries from navicular bone to his torn meniscus to his facial fracture to more recently the tendinitis in his left knee that's kept him out for 5 games since the All-Star break - this has been a major concern going into the playoffs where the flint will really meet the grindstone. Giannis has had a recent calf injury as well, but it’s not on par with the frequency or severity of Embiid’s injuries.

Embiid is climbing his way back up /sPARKY’s Top 10 List, but according to the Candybread Elite7’s system data logs, it appears that he has shown less of an individual impact on the Eastern Conference compared to Giannis. Simmons, Reddick, Butler and Harris have also sparked in with major contributions to the 76ers success this season. The conclusion reached by the most advance rating system to date is that The Greek has accomplished more with less, and his injuries are less severe, posing more of a threat come playoffs.

If the seeds were locked today, Warriors have the most ideal matchups.
Fly south the Clippers (easy win) and then they'd face the winners of Trailblazers vs Jazz (another easy win)
Best part of it all is these teams are all fairly close.

I don’t know what rating system you used to compile that list (hopefully not P.O.R.K.I.E.S. Or LarryLOAF 3.4 for sparkssake) but any rating system not running on the Candybread Elite7 is clearly inferior. The S.P.A.R.K.S. system introduces a new age in accurate team and player rating. It’s a bold age, it’s a different age, it’s a spARKy age!

So, you may be asking yourself, how do we cope with this sparky new age after growing up in a mostly sparkless society? We’ve been conditioned our entire lives to avoid sparky situations but then we are given countless examples in the /spARKY news updates of sparky teams and players that dared to ask what happens when you seek out the sparkiest path and take destiny by the hand. You too can choose to take this path, and, with destiny in your hands (and a bit of spark too), comfortably acclimate to this sparky new age.

from their official page:

>The S.P.A.R.K. rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill level and chance of future success of each team in the NBA. The S.P.A.R.K. system was originally invented as an improved rating system allowing a more accurate predictably of outcome for the NBA regular season, playoff and finals games.

>The system rates and splits each team into well defined categories based on an advanced algorithm which takes into consideration a variety of factors. The difference in the ratings between each team serves as a predictor of the outcome of a future match. A team’s specific S.P.A.R.K. rating is represented by their current category and position within their category.

>Factors which are taken into consideration in the S.P.A.R.K. system includes tracking of injuries, trades and other player transactions head-to-head results, margin of victory and quality of opponent, as well as integration of predictions based on 100,000 run simulations forecasting the rest of the season, consistently updated after each game.

>he was not called for a foul.
Damn this guy really did get all the calls. Literally the Harden of his era

I thought the Rockets had a chance until Bogut came back and actually looked good. He's their best center since Bogut.

On a related note, why does no-one mention Bogut as being a bust? He's a pretty mediocre player for a #1 pick

He’s 34 and has had like 2 major injuries in the past 3 years. He was drafted like 15 years ago. Why are you talking about him being a bust? He’s doing pretty good

>Bogut is the best since Bogut

This is stupid, Jokic is the best player on the second best team (record) in the toughest conference in the NBA. His PER is 26, averaging 20ppg 10rpg and 7apg, he will likely end his career as the best playmaking center this side of Chris Webber and his defense has gotten a lot better.

LeBron James is a fraud but Wilt Chamberlain is not? No one has more FMVPs than Lebron except Jordan, the GOAT. You can mock his playoff failings but doing so would be disenginous if you have Wilt above him on your all time list. He was the best player in the NBA for a decade and got hardware during his reign to prove it.

Moses Malone > Julius Erving, he won FMVP on their title team, made more defensive and all NBA teams at a position that was much deeper during their overlapping primes. Literally had no peer on the glass during his career. Erving had the more visually appealing game and had a greater impact on the stylistic changes of the NBA, Malone was the better player.

Your system is absolute garbage.

He was a #1 pick and was never a star or even the anchor of the team? He's a Capela/Adams-tier player.

Checked out the reddit comments on that Kyle Korver cringe piece and Jesus Christ. Why are people such pussies. “Oooh boohoo listen and believe.” Who the fuck cares.

He is a bust relative to his draft position. MKG is a quality rotation player on most teams but also a bust because he was drafted second over all. When you draft with the number one pick you expect a star, anything short of that is a failure.

>Jokic
Cousins made him look like a little sparkless bitch when they faced off last. Completely shutdown and dampened. Nuggets will very likely be exposed come playoffs. They’re inexperienced and Jokic doesn’t fare well under pressure. Which is unfortunate because I do have an attention to the Nuggets logo, which reminds me of the all to familiar sparks forged by the collision of pickaxes by miners in the rocky Rocky Mountains.

The stats and the eyetest back this up, Lakers fans have desperately pushed the narrative that Lonzo's value is his defense but players that are below replacement level on offense usually tend to contribute meaningfully on defense (Matthew Delly, Frank Ntilikina.) Speaking of Ntilikina it's funny the Knicks seem to accept he's a sunk cost already, guy couldn't win out playing time over Mudiay and Burke (two bust) and when they would get injured would register either 0 stat games or get injured his damn self. Complete waste of space and outplayed by Kadeem fucking Allen.

Okay, I see you’re a Jokic and a Lebron fan and i do apologize If you were offended by the content of the /spARKys TOP 10 PLAYER RANKINGS section, however, you may feel better knowing that the overall sp. player ratings are extremely volitile and have been known to shift thousands of points on a game-to-game basis. Check back tomorrow and maybe your favorite player will be making a spark!

I also feel the need to remind you that you are in no way obligated to read or view these posts. /spARKY news update as well as /spARKY’s overall sp. rating stat tracking are free services provided by S.P.A.R.K.S. to the benefit of the community. News and stats are based on the most up-to-date information and all predictions or inferences are meticulously run through the Candybread Elite7 engine before publishing.

You’re welcome to use other rating systems if you’d like but a word of advice, I’d stay away from P.O.R.K.I.E.S. or any rating system still running on the outdated MaxRimCrust3.1 engine. It’s just not reliable data at this point.

Also, please keep in mind that S.P.A.R.K.S. rating system accurately takes ALL factors into consideration. Scoring, Finals MVP’s and your favorite little stats are just great to hear about kid, but taking a step back and going from the micro to the macro we can see individual players for their true inner spark, showing the true nature of each players spark-to-flame transformion. We need to leave our biases out of this and trust the systems algorithms.

How in the fuck is Kobr even considered to be on the same level as Lelbron and Kareem and Jordan? That's a travesty.

I've actually been one of Lebron's biggest detractors since he left my Cavies, but putting less accomplished players over him who have been similarly criticized for diminished games or lack of dominance in the post season is asinine. There's no logic behind it, it's emotional.

Don’t take it too hard little guy. Be sure to check the next /sPARKY’s Update and maybe your favorite player will be making a spark!

See

Recency bias, in time Kobe and Lebron's legacies will probably be more equivalent to Bird, Magic and Kareem's. Jordan will likely never fade as the greatest player of all time in most people's perspective because he is effectively the face of the sport, no player has ever been so marketable and similarly dominate.

People are going to remember his Hanes commercials and Looney Toons stint as much as his Finals game winners and dunk from the free throw line. And I'm happy for it, he was my favorite player growing up and I'm glad he's more appreciated than players who are comparably skilled.

Kind of fascinated to see where the Knicks go from here. They have cap space and got decent return from Porzingis but it seems like one long-ass rebuild ahead.

Their best players Dennis Smith and Mitchell Robinson, who are starters in the NBA but not franchise cornerstones.

All of their remaining lottery picks on the roster look like they could be out of the league in another year or two.

Actually wouldn't mind GS staying together, would like to see some elite team beat them as a super team rather than seeing their run end as a result of free agency. Lacob already said they're excessively going to be spending and it makes sense given the new arena.

Lebron somehow made the Lakers even worse than last year. Lebron was swept in the playoffs last year after throwing a tantrum and hurting his little finger. He’s been carried thru his major successes by players who have the spark (Irving, Allen, Wade). He is a complete fraud that has been exposed. Locker room cancer. Media cancer. NBA cancer. Media hyped trash. Damp and sparkless. LeFraud will likely not see the /sPARKY’s Top 10 again.

Jokic may yet rise on the list. Don’t get your panties in a bunch just yet user. I understand that Jokic has had a lasting impact on your little microcosmic but when zooming out to the macro scale, he’s rather unremarkable

the sparkie system isn't based on emotion though, it is actually calculated using the candybread stat thingy. I'm sure a lot of knowledgeable stats guys worked hard on it and there's logic behind the placings

I never read people say that current roster has great players

And Magic Johnson and Kareem were swept in the Finals simultaneously, by your own ranking, two top ten players of all time could not win a Finals game. That's significantly more embarassing than Lebron being swept by a team with two MVPs, a DPOY, a FMVP and another all star.
>Carried by Irving
Who had made it to the playoffs how many times before Lebron came back? Can you remind me of what the Cavs record was in games that Lebron sat and both Love and Kyrie played? Wade's team didn't even win 40 games when Lebron came to Miami, and for a player that's carried it's remarkable when he has won in the Finals he has always won the FMVP award. In fact if I recall correctly he led both teams in every single statistical category when he beat the GSW, so Irving's scoring ass scored less than Lebron who is a versatile player.

>made the Lakers even worse than last year
But they have a better record this year? They've been an obvious disappointment but it's unlikely they miss the post season if Lebron doesn't get injured. Their record is above .500 when he has played and horrible when he hasn't.

The odd thing is I don't even have love for Lebron like that like most Cavs fans but these arguments are all emotional.

I always hear Josh Richardson has next on being one of the best SFs in the league, Justice Winslow is a talented point forward, Wade has still got it, Bam Adebayo is special and Goran Dragic is perenially underrated. That team certainly isn't competing for a championship any time soon but it's the Eastern Conference, how do you lose to the Hawks three times?

Why do NBA players always do the low five thing no matter how the free throw goes?

Comradarie, you got this and we got you.

>Curry 1-9 from 3 in a meaningless game
>team still wins

>Jokic gets completely BTFO in biggest matchup of the year by his biggest rival and the man he now lives in the shadow of
>team loses game and chance at clinching conference

Yea those two things are comparable.

This. I heard sparky all high tech and legit n’shit.

>Curry gets carried by a team with another MVP, Klay, Dray and Cousins
>team stills win
Impeccable play by Steph Curry!

>Jokic loses to a team with two MVPs, three all stars, FMVP and DPOY
He sucks!

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson got swept together in 1983 and 1989.

Kinda cute to be honest

>carried
>dray
lol

their current roster is shit and the front office overpaid a bunch of g-league players

>biggest matchup of the year
>already clinched the playoffs 10 games before it
???????????????

>Dray doesn't matter
>GS fans still crying cause he got suspended for one game in 2016
Even if Draymond is complete shit that's still Demarcus Cousins (who is better than Nikola Jokic, you argue), KD and Klay. Curry can play like absolute shit and they can still pull out wins with relative ease because they're stacked.

If Jokic isn't 'on' what player on that roster is on his level to contribute similarly?

>or... doesn't seem like there's a contingency plan
..a really slow-ass tank and rebuild. They do have picks and cap space to do it.

I'm not remotely convinced they'll get the free agents, especially as they don't have a supporting cast.

(I do think the top 10 protections on the Mavs picks might fuck them, as I can see a situation where the Mavs totally implode, as they've gone all-in on Doncic/Porzingis and they've long struggled to attract FAs)

I think I see what the problem is. YOU'RE the one being emotional and seeing patterns from an emotional standpoint when there isn't one. it's actually all numbers based. Sometimes people see patterns and biases when there isn't one

Yea, people love to mention "if you take lebron off this team"... Notice how Lebron’s teams run the lebron system.. Of course if you take him off the team they will suck. If lebron played in a system where it maximizes each players talent they can win without him.. (spurs, GS, Boston)..

You sound just like the media pundits who, up until this season, praised him instead of letting him prove his worth. The NBA adapted to Lebrons style of play instead of Lebron adapting to the league's style of play.

As a former coach, it has always killed me to watch lebron use his off arm and shove his way to the hoop. Fundamentals teach you to guard the ball, but as soon as u raise the arm towards a defender.. It's a charge. While his fans, along with the NBA were so impressed with his physique they failed to realize that basketball was a game of skill. Just because lebron is bigger than your average guard it does not mean he can run him over. Power is designed for the power forward who uses his strength in the post. Had the NBA forced lebron to drive the right way, he would either become finesse or develop a mid range game..which are his weaknesses.

It so sad to compare him to the real GOATs and watch him lose. Is it not tiring to say he has no help? He's had 15 season to build chemistry with his own Pippen.. Or maybe he's not the player ur mind wanted him to be. A few players will pass greats in added/ over time numbers. What counts are season by season: how many titles, how many scoring, rebounds, assist titles do u have? Let's not omit DEFENSE!!.. DPOY, defensive first team and lastly, how do you protect the ball... Turnovers... Don't let the media persuade u..

1.) MJ: 999,999 overall sp. rating
2.) Bird: 685,679 overall sp. rating
3.) Kareem: 677,544 overall sp. rating
4.) Duncan: 398,672 overall sp. rating
5.) Hakeem: 370,714 overall sp. rating
6.) Shaq: 359,121 overall sp. rating
7.) Magic: 344,762 overall sp. rating
8.) Kobe: 297,689 overall sp. rating

You cannot be considered GOAT if you've been swept in the first round

Fair or no?

>t. Doesn’t Understand Playoffs

>If Lebron played on stacked teams they'd be good without him
You really think the Spurs, GS and Boston have been good because of their system? They're good because of their players and front offices. The fact Lebron hasn't been on a team like that since Miami and beat a 73-9 team while doing literally everything to will his team back from 3-1 is enough to "prove it."

What has he not proved that Wilt Chamberlain has? I'm not arguing he's better than Jordan, he certainly belongs on anyone's top list and his omission is pure stupidty.

Why do you have such a hard time leaving your biases out of it! Jeez user, just trust the system’s algorithms. It’s rally pretty simple.

When a player has a shit game, coaches elect to put emphasis on defense elsewhere.
When Curry has a shit game, he's still smothered. His gravity is what makes this team better because even if he's shit, he allows the defense to get sucked to him and opens the floor for his teammates. Do keep in mind that almost all of his shots are contested and he still makes them.

That was the biggest game of the season for the nuggets. Playoff mode activated for both teams and we got a glimps is Jokic’s true spark.

I won't argue Curry isn't an impactful player, but using a single game sample size to suggest Jokic isn't a top ten player in the NBA is asinine since Curry is his/your number one player in the league and has a history of going ghost. Yes he can draw defenses, but he can't play any.

>What has he not proved that Wilt Chamberlain has?

gee, I don't know, what about averaging 50ppg? What about scoring 100 points in a single game? What about leading the league in assists? How many 50/20 games has lebron had?

>They're good because of their players and front offices. The fact Lebron hasn't been on a team like that since Miami..

I really shouldn’t need to state the obvious here but LeBitch has dug all of his own graves. One of the major issues with Lebron is his tendency to be a cancerous piece shit who takes on the role of Star player, Coach, GM, lead actor, Front Office, and he fucks everything up for himself and his team.

Because of his inability to set his ego aside he will guarantee failure for any team unfortunate enough to be plagued by him. His legacy is a joke. He’s not top 10 current and definitely not top ten all time.

no but my pockets are filled with pebbles that come and go, come and go

Who should win GM of the year?

I honestly think it should be Masai. How the FUCK did he turn DePoop DeFrozen into Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green?

Yep, who wants to go to the Lakers as long as LeGM is there? For the media, you're "on Lebron's team", or "Lebron's help" if the Lakers are winning and you're trade fodder or "not enough help" when they don't.

Why is it always so many excuses with LeBron defenders.

>He didn’t have a good Front Office!
>He has no help!
>GSW are too Good! It’s not fair!

Always with the excuses. Same thing happened with Clinton when she lost to Trump. All the excuses in the world for the losers.

They were 4th before Lebron got hurt and his shitty team couldn’t stay in the playoffs. Then everyone started getting injured.

Not a Lebron fan but just looking at it from an objective lense. Lebron fucked up the team chemistry with that trade rumour shit too.

So it’s confirmed that Lebronsexuals are all gen z basedbois then?

they always bring up the same dumb as fuck argument too

>if lebron's team fails its his team mates fault
>if they win lebron gets all the credit

yeah, no shit the best player on the team gets the majority of credit. no shit when they lose they don't blame the guy who puts up 50/10/10 in a losing effort. like what kind of fucking twisted logic is it that the guy who is literally carrying shit teams to the finals every year should be blamed when the shit team plays like shit and he plays amazing?

Pelinka and Magic don’t know Jack shit what they’re doing and should’ve shut the rumours down but it f course, they’re dinosaurs compared to the brats in the locker room whose first thing to do after they hit the locker room is start shitting up social media

Danny Ainge exposed himself too by throwing his own young players into New Orleans face and telling the (Now fired) GM “hey man it’s cool. Just wait for us, trust me. Tatum is way better than everyone the lakers could give you. Just wait for me baby”. And look what happened straight after. A bunch of stories coming out of Boston about everybody going at each other’s throats because Ainge is ready to sell the farm so AD and Kyrie could somehow win a chip as soon as next year

>Lebron fucked up the team chemistry with that trade rumour shit too.

This is the the issue though. Lebron has the physical ability to be the undisputed GOAT. It’s always his head that fucks it up for him. It’s why he’s disliked amongst other players. It’s why he’s not clutch. It’s why he’s 3-6. It’s why the Lakers aren’t in the playoffs.

LeBron was given $100 Million while still in high school and constantly told he was “CHOSEN”. He got that shit tatted. The ink from that shitty tat seeped deep into his head and his spark-to-flame transformation was left dampened.

It’s pretty Ironic actually - the ink on his skin which was meant to signal his “CHOSEN” status would inevitably be the same ink dampening his spark for the entirety of his career. He was always destined to be a choking failure stuck in his own head.

True story about Korver from a friend who worked at a restaurant in Atlanta.

When Korver was traded to the Cavs, that week him and his wife decided to dine at their favorite restaurant in Atlanta. My friend was their waiter.

Korver and his wife ordered every single item off the menu to try (kinda odd) and then packed the food up to take home. After they were finished eating, they paid for their bill and left a big tip for each of the servers and my friend.

Rich people are kinda weird, like who orders every item? But regardless him and his wife were respectful about it.

all I remember about kyle korver is that he showed up at this basketball fundraiser thing my friend went to and started signing autographs for kids there. It was really kind of a surprise visit so there wasn't a huge wait and he hung around and talked to some of the kids. my friend (white) just suddenly asked him "how do you handle the smell?" kyle looked at him confused and said he just wears deodorant, and then my friend says "no I mean, being around all those niggers all the time." My friend said they all just laughed about it and he thought it was a funny joke, but told him he had to leave. now years later I can tell in retrospect kyle probably didn't think it was funny lol

Why don’t you just leave your emotional biases out of this and trust in the system’s algorithms?

Kobe gets so overrated because of his popularity, which is a result of his similarity to Jordan. People see the same flashy moves and "muh killer instinct" from Kobe that Jordan had, as well as the five rings, and they think he's on the same level or near it. Anyone with a brain who looks past surface-level stuff like rings and the occasional buzzer beater/game winner will know that he isn't close to Magic or Bird or Kareem, let alone Jordan.

Sure buddy...

...and lemme guess, next your going to claim you also precisely calibrated your algorithms and properly applied the correct sequencing updates prior to implementing your “newly upgraded” LarryLOAF 3.1 system!?!!Pffft!! I thought I smelled Bacon on your post! Looks like we got a Porkies poster on our hands!

So apparently your sad devotion to that outdated rating engine has now left you claiming credit for the hard work of others!! How sad... how very very sad!! Unfortunately for you, I happen to know that the credit for the information posted in the /sPARKY’s Updates goes to the engineering and design team whose rigorous efforts behind the scenes have sparked the advent of the new Candybread Elite7 rating engine. This amazing technology is what enables an efficient means of compiling and delivering all the sparkworthy stats and news and “Lebron is as overated as they come” posts to those who need it.

I believe, as most do, that every spark has at least a chance at becoming a flame. We owe it to ourselves to seek out the truth in all /NBA/ related matters, unlocking the sparkyness within ourselves and using that spark to ignite a lasting flame.

TLDR; Porkies pls go.

S.P.A.R.K.S. came about during the sparky revolution when a new way of thinking about sparks swept through the NBA like wildfire. Now top NBA analysts are using the new Candybread Elite7 to formulate the problem of how sparks ignite to flames in actual concrete mathematical terms for the first time. And while the problem of how sparks came to be in the NBA is far from being solved, it is finally being formulated mathematically as a set of problems that analysts, players and fans can understand, explore and discuss.

The highly advanced particular properties of sparks might arise from the natural laws governing our individual sparkyness. And it explains how these properties allow us to reason about the sparks which might actually exploit the very nature of our reality. Is the world around us as sparky as it actually appears? Or maybe sparky actually introduces a new age in accurate team and player rating. If it is a new age, it’s a bold age, it’s a different age, it’s a spARKy age!

So, you may be asking yourself, how do we cope with this sparky new age after growing up in a mostly sparkless society? We’ve been conditioned our entire lives to avoid sparky situations but then we are given countless examples in the /spARKY news updates of sparky teams and players that dared to ask what happens when you seek out the sparkiest path and take destiny by the hand. You too can choose to take this path, and, with destiny in your hands (and a bit of spark too), comfortably acclimate to this sparky new age!

And lemme guess, you’re another advocate of the updated P.O.R.K.I.E.S. rating system!? It’s funny how every time I make a S.P.A.R.K. related post, Every. Single. Time. All of the sudden, out of the wood work will come 1 user, and then 2 anons, and then 3, all seemingly random anons that are suspiciously hell bent on discrediting S.P.A.R.K.S. And trying to replace it with P.O.R.K.I.E.’S. subpar, aged and increasingly unpopular rating system. And now I suppose you’re going to tell me about how your outdated MaxRimCrust3.1 engine outstrips S.P.A.R.K.S. CandyBread Elite7 engine??!? even though MaxRimCrust3.1 only simulates a fraction of the games and takes practically 10x as long to do it. You and your employees are paid to use a system which has been proven time and time again to be inferior... TO WHICH I MIGHT ADD, still doesn’t predict player stats or game outcomes within a 14% margin of what S.P.A.R.K. can do. Nobody uses P.O.R.K.I.E.S. anymore, face it, your sickly, undependable joke of a rating system has been replaced and voted out. So why don’t you paid P.O.R.K.I.E.S. shills crawl back under the dirty, dark, damp rock you all came from and stop trying to discredit the better clearly superior system, simply because you’re afraid that YOUR OWN spark will be going out once and for all!

Has any player ever won an NBA ring, got selected for the All-Stars (so he isn't one of these guys who earn a ring by being the 4th option PG on the team) and an Olympic gold medal not playing for the USA?

what about kawhi ya douche

So honestly it's best for both parties if the Sixers trade Simmons for a point that can shoot. Ben on his own team surrounded by snipers/defenders ala Giannis would be fucking legit, so would Philly with Jojo, Butler, Harris and whoever they can get in a trade.

Kawhi is the most overrated player in the league. He's a total fucking autistic system babby

it's not good for the sixers because it's shortsighted as fuck. Simmons is a top 5 talent and above average-good at all aspects of the game except shooting. It's also becoming increasingly more obvious that Embiid won't have a long career, especially at this season's production

Embiid shits all over simmons

Shame his ego is higher than his basketball iq, so he tries too hard and does even those things he's not good at

He's the bigman version of Westbrook

Nets will upset the 76ers in 7 games.

I honestly believe that any person with at least a little athletic ability can learn to shoot a jump shot if they practice enough.
If Ben could learn to shoot he'd be the best player in the league instantly.
Why hasn't he just spent all or most of his time developing a shot?

Yeah but he’ll never be healthy

Lazy, he's always been the best player wherever he's gone without any effort. Didn't even feel like he needed to try in college and it was only a formality, very confident in his abilities as they were to get him drafted #1 overall.

He puts up good numbers, is elite defensively, and fucks white women so he probably doesn''t even practice his jumper.

>parading your child in a pride festival

They're Hollywood breh, probably guaranteed Gabrielle Union and the son will be presenting some sort of award at the EPSYs/Oscars/etc

Wade’s son came out as gay and they decided to treat it like something that should be celebrating and took him to a gay pride festival

Wasn't there something about his father encouraging (perhaps too strongly) ambidextrous play and now Ben doesn't really have a dominant hand to focus on building a shot with? Or is that just setup for some narrative so that fans get pumped when he finally starts getting 3s to fall? I personally knew a guy (righty) whose dad forced him to pitch baseball lefty to make him a more desirable prospect and absolutely fucked the guys hands up to where both were shaky and could barely even be used for writing because he had put so much focus on his off hand at a young age.

the olympic gold is a retarded filter

usa won every gold metal since 1988 except the one from argentina in 2004, and before 1988 they didnt have NBA players.

so only argentinians are eligible ie ginobili
