Is this the worst era of basketball ever?
Is this the worst era of basketball ever?
No, it's great. Late 90s to late 2000s, and the last 5 years were much worse.
>Jamal Murray
Millsap is their 2nd best player by a huge margin
The Legends of the Hidden Temple Era
It's been pretty bad since MJ left the second time
I don't know because I never really watched it
Why aren't people calling it the NBA Jam era, then?
this was a true duo
kek
>griffin and drummond
NBA has been pretty much shit since 98 to 2nd round of the playoffs this year. This could be the turn around.
You can’t just take the two best players on your team and called him a duo, just like you can’t just take the three best players on your team and called him a big three
>Is this the worst era of basketball ever?
You don't remember the rough, cynical mid-to-late 90s?
Pat Riley's Knicks' "Force Basketball" which really just meant constant hard fouling?
George Karl's Sonics committing illegal defense every single play?
80-75 scorelines?
this.
>westbrook just got traded to huston
U-uhhh.... DUOS DUOS YEAH ITS UH DUOS
The Memechucks era was the worst
>no Lauri and WCJ
DROPPED
"duo era"
except lelbon needs moar
tim duncan.
STFU
Why?
My jazz are the barracudas
wait
did Westbrook end up to the Rockets
Oh yeah Greek homie. Brick and Harden back together
>le parity is bad meme
'no'
this. unwatchable.
how the fuck will that work with 2 ballhogs
Those bums can't even get a winning season
>it's better when the score is 150-149
That wasn't anywhere in his post. There's a difference between low scoring due to good defense and low scoring due to hacking.
its actually the flop era
>NBA Jam except it's real
nah, this is great
like this
Mavericks are the patricians choice
MULTIBALL
Yes
You dumb fuckers, we're just LEAVING the worst era of basketball ever. The Warriors with Durant meeting the Lebron Cavs in the Finals over and over and over and over was completely intolerable. If I had to sit through yet another warriorswinlol season I was going to seriously have to stop watching the NBA altogether.
We really should thank Kawhi. He saved us from the Heatles and he saved us from the Memeiors. The man has done us a huge favor twice now.
hrrr
confirmed for being too young to remember the decade after Jordan retired
The Pistons won a championship by defending really hard, the PISTONS
Everyone played isolation, and not fun isolation like LBJ where he chucks it out to a wide open 3, the kind where 4 guys stand around and watch AI or TMac dribble up the entire clock and toss up a shitty midrange jumper at the end of the clock
The 80s also largely blew ass unless you were a Celtics fan, so fuck that shit
imagine being a white adult male with any dignity that watches fucking APEBALL
Yes, the current 3 or chucking era is the absolute worst the NBA has ever been. They need to remove the 3 point shot.
>instead I watch a sport played predominantly because poor people can also play
>implying basketball isn't full of poor hoodrats
This whole thing about wanting to play with a friend started with Chris Paul, when he wanted to join James harden. So the clippers traded him.
Look at him now, his best buddy shipped him out
>nuggets
>pistons
>bucks
>young yuros
Just because you have 2 players on your team doesn't make it a Duo. Denver is still Jokic and a bunch of high quality role players. Pistons don't have anyone that is a true superstar. Bucks are still Giannis and his beta orbitors.
>team that shoots 3s best wins
Yeah its the worst era.
The only thing that saved us from the Warriors was KD getting injured
Fuck you boomer the nba was great as fuck from 2004-2010 teams didn’t chuck 3s all day and the scores were more along the lines of 89-92 and not 134-122
This fucking under age zoomers
>his post
nice try
The Stern era is the worst era. 80-90% of the ships were rigged to further marketing agendas
>the 80's
Celtics/Lakers was kino as fuck tho
>91-97
By far the worst era. One super team and a bunch of mediocre “star” players
Klay's injury as well
Not even close. This is the best the NBA has been in years since the awful meme chucking and super team eras.
This
NBA is for kids
When will the Wizards be good?
No era will be worse than the 50s where you had games finishing 30-32
Also, I prefer having 10 teams with good duos than 2 or 3 teams with big 3s
people said the said when CP3 joined.
it'll figure itself out plus they've been friends since before the NBA
>harden and westbrick in front
???
Fouls on 3 pointers should only give 2 foul shots. Game is instantly saved. Or you could remove corner threes and make anything up to the free throw line on the sidelines a 2.
>Fouls on 3 pointers should only give 2 foul shots
a much better idea than most and it fucks harden. i like it
Because of their homosexual tendencies?
it's Lauri and Lavine for now at least
It’s the greatest era ever
Porzingis is trash
The NBA by and large isn't full of people with poor backgrounds these days, though. The vast majority come from middle-class backgrounds.
The shit you have to do to get noticed by scouts in high school costs a fuckton of money, going to camps and playing for pay-to-play clubs isn't cheap. Don't let that stop you from being a dumb fucking hick piece of bigoted shit though
why are darkies so temperamental when it comes to true stereotypes
Pistons are based as fuck. All their three titles were pure kino
I already miss dirk
>Late 90s to late 2000s,
That was actually the last great era
>Jordan still winning titles
>Lakers 3 peat
>teams with soul like the Pistons and Karl Malone's Jazz
The NBA was ruined literally after the Cryami Weep started with this big 3 bullshit.
I meant late 90s to early 2000s
Denver, golden state and Dallas all have two whiteys representing them lol there's your problem
>RJ BARRETT AND KNOX
I'm sure late 90s strictly meant '99
>Probably the most balanced in years
>worst
By worst did you mean most unpredictable?
When they change their name back to the Bullets.
RANKING THE BEST DUOS
1. MJ and Pippen
2. Magic and Kareem
3. Shaq and Kobe
4. Bird and McHale
5. Thomas and Dumars
6. Malone and Stockton
7. Cousy and Bill Russell
8. Dr J and Moses
9. Duncan and Parker
10. Payton and Kemp
HOLD UP
how are NBA fans complaining about games being too high scoring yet say soccer is boring because they are low scoring?
>Kemba and Tatum not #1
they aint ready
Curry and Thompson aren't white mate.
it is. down to the wire action is exciting
>no Wall & Beale
based retard
Nah
Are you colour blind?
Curry is very mixed race. Thompson is mixed too, they both are lightskin blacks.
>a competitive league
>bad
You shiggy when you should be diggy
Klay is halfsies and Curry is full black
Nets are Silver Snakes.
honestly this is about as good as parity can get in this sport. its when you get MORE than 2 Big Guys that it starts to become lopsided and unfair. The fact that stars willfully chose to go to clippers and nets is great for parity.
That's why he is The GOAT.
Because the game literally changed the past five years. Steph Curry rewrote the NBA offense and now the game has become too fast for its own good.
he turns the talent around him to shit.
everybody looks bad so he will look good.
therefore, he is the goat.
>scores over my arbitrary cutoff of 100 bother me
Autism
obviously stars won't be putting up as many PPG with LeBron compared to by themselves, but he does get his teammates more efficient looks, so they're generally better with him than without, even if that means taking a smaller role
basketball is a shit sport and only a pseudo team game
Because Celtics actually have a trio with Hayward.
Most of the 90s were pretty dog shit. Outside of the Bulls, the league was filled with a bunch of literal who’s
11. LeBron and James
9999 END.
I'm a big Jordan and Pip fan but Kobe and Shaq should've been no.1 on that list.
