>Ben Simmons posted a video on Instagram in which he asked why he and two black friends were asked for identification but another person in their group who is white was not. He deleted the post Tuesday morning. The casino issued a statement saying its “internal security policy requires our security officers to check identification of those persons they believe to be under the age of 25, this is an enhanced safeguard to ensure that no one under the age of 18 is permitted entry to the casino floor as required by law." Simmons, whose father is African American, did not explain why he deleted the post.

Holy shit Udonis Haslem is really coming back next season. Still remember when he was a dominant 300+-lber in college kind of like Zion and got his team to the Final Four back in like 2000
Who's the best Sopranos character and why is it Paulie
Gabriel Lee
Unsung hero in 2006 and some of the LeBron years, he had huge defensive performances and clutch buckets in the finals. Chalmers is another forgotten guy on those teams who made clutch shot after clutch shot to keep them alive throughout the playoffs and help get those rings.
Brody Bennett
For me, it’s the character that can’t CONTROL THE VOLUME OF HIS VOICE
Jace Price
The Minnesota Timberwolves traded Kris Dunn, Zach Lavine, and Lauri Markkanen for Dario Saric, Robert Covington, and Jerryd Bayless.
Why is it that the only way to win a championship these days is if you join up? What happened to loyalty?
That's why I felt like the Warriors' first championship was the only legit one. Because they came from nothing. They had to add Kevin Durant just to beat LeBron.
I hate the Lakers and I don't particularly care about Chris Paul but it's hard to come up with a rational justification for the rules (it makes sense that there are rules, but the particular ones they came up with are weird and stupid) and they very obviously exclude Chris Paul
So, like

Dylan Nelson
I know that De'Aaron Fox is elite, but somehow the Sacramento Kings will find a way to screw him over. He should get the fuck out as soon as he can seeing what they did to Boogie.
Henry Rogers
This lil dude is becoming too powerful so they must shut him down before he can influence others.
I feel like if Jaylen Brown doesn't get better immediately, the Celtics will definitely trade him this year.
Ian Ross
the Kings have great complementary pieces for Fox. His primary strengths are driving, pick and roll and fast breaks. You have Buddy Hield one of the top shooters, Dedmon a stretch 5, and a fast break pick and roll big with Bagley that has all star potential. I'm not sure what else you could ask for.
If you take a look at Boogie his teams were handled differently. They never got proper shooting. His best shooters were Isaiah Thomas, Marco Bellineli and Rudy Gay.
Lincoln Sullivan
nigga throw ball lol
Gabriel Morgan
told myself i would never watch this gif again. and im not. just posting it so that i can delete it without feeling like it has been erased from history, as much as i wish it was i think i might regret it and dwell on it 10 years from now when im trying to remember this god dream season and i start to weep and it hurts my eyes to cry so much but my heart finally feels whole again and i half want to see his smile again but persuade myself not to hurt myself again. ill be a stronger man then
They'll take care of all that. They've already gotten rid of the only coach in recent history that's gotten them any results despite having young team and replaced him with the guy who just got fired from the lakers of all places.

Celtics - Larry Bird Knicks - Dominique Wilkins Pistons - Luka Doncic Suns - Allen Iverson Heat - Tony Parker Bulls - Ben Wallace Lakers - Magic Magic (myteam) - Manu Ginobili Wizards - Dikembe Hawks - Joe Johnson Clippers - Jason Terry Celtics - Shawn Kemp (imagine the fucking lobs and they still have Kyrie/Horford and the Jays) Mavericks - JJJr Spurs - Jeff Hornacek Hornets - Roy Hibbert

Leo Rogers
>I will never betray my Knickies How long have you been a fan?
Not good enough to drag you to the playoffs by himself Too good for you to bottom out and get a pick that will mean anything (a cant miss generational pick even Jordan could not squander)
You do not lose anything but attendance by letting him walk, yes he is the best player in franchise history (I guess) but it is Charlotte Hornets history
Levi Campbell
Which final: 1957 final or 1959 final or 1960 final or 1961 final or 1962 final or 1963 final or 1964 final or 1965 final or 1966 final or 1968 or 1969
The biggest decision they've made during his tenure there was not trading Kemba, which was objectively a mistake, especially since they apparently were never actually interested in paying him
I don't know how much of that was Kupchak and how much of it was MJ but it's certainly not a good call
Logan Allen
they were still in the mix for homecourt playoff seed at the trade deadline the last 2 years.

Jayden Harris
Fultz looking like he's going to win Most Improved Player. The Magic might have made one of the best trades in the last decade. I have them finishing 4th in the East
How is Kevin Knox so bad? He seemed to be decent in college and is getting a ton of playing time on the Knicks yet he was one of the worst players in the NBA last season
Robert Young
I dont think the knicks are good at raising young talent to an nba level, or anything
Obviously kd's. The 2019 finals was balanced, both teams were injured, GSW just lost the player that would make guarantee their ring, without him, they could win regardless.
Yahoo Sports Canada @YahooCASports post-game update: kelly olynyk is getting x-rays and there should be an update tomorrow morning. nick nurse says it looked like a knee injury.

Jason Harris
The 2019 Raptors will be remembered like the 1979 SuperSonics
DLo would be such a good fit there lol
Blake Wright
But then Klay and Looney went down too. They beat Steph, Dray, Iggy,
Honestly, they shouldn't have had to trade all three. AD gave them all leverage and they still fucked it up and sold all their assets despite the pelicans not having any other trade partners willing to come close. Why the fuck would he even want to go to a FO that does this kind of retarded shit?
Colton Campbell

John Wilson
Those teams aren't going to win no matter what, best case scenario is that melo teaches them some bad habits. I see him going to a team that needs something to push them over the edge and is willing to gamble, similar to how he ended up on the rockets last year.
Sidenote, OKC front office is kind of on thin ice after last season and losing PG. If they bring back Melo, they'll probably have riots.

Ya ya him salting over Toronto ain’t my business since snakes gonna hiss and it’s been that way since they won. Everyone invalidating the trophy because history said all the other championships werent righed (hello lakers) and everyone was healthy.
Im more fascinated in his other statements >telling the media there wasn’t any pressure to play the game and it was all him Whose he kidding? The entire world was buzzing because Kerr and the owner insisted that KD was gonna be able to play soon and kept repeating it like it could’ve happened any game now. He just zoned out all the noise? He didn’t know that his loyalties was questioned since the start of the season, fuck even before that? A person whose so sensitive about outside chatter from nobodies that he needed burner accounts for twitter? KD is either incredibly retarded and put his insecurities ahead of his health or he’s just playing liar. Makes sense, unless the warriors were out right attacking his character (Spurs should know that). He might think something about management but probably thinking about how it would look to the other players, his “brothers”. Phah. Regardless he’s done and should just focus on sucking up that New York real estate. May he one day find peace in himself.

the raptors seem to be in a strange place. i see people celebrating that they're in shambles which they are not (that would be an exaggeration). but i also see raptor fans trying to claim that they can actually make a run with this roster or a slightly tuned-up roster next year. that simply isn't going to happen. they aren't bottom of the barrel in the east at all, could easily make the playoffs. but they definitely aren't good enough to win the eastern conference finals again
they're going to be in classic jazz territory where you're not good enough to win but not bad enough to tank. i guess an awkward phase is natural after sort of winning a championship
super-flat, shaved or almost shaved heads do not look good on certain people. you need to have large facial features for it to work but lonzo has beady little eyes. the corn rows have helped a lot because they give his hair some shape, imo
Westbrook functionally killed the concept of stats. He heard people talking about dem triple doubles and decided to completely devalue any significance by being greedy as fuck about it. As a researcher, he's like those medical tests that fudge the t value until it looks like their sample worked, when in reality it was a super cherry picked nonsense study by a biased first party.

Dear Kawhi, we offered you a private jet, but you still ain't callin' 5 years $190 million and an OVO record, just sign there at the bottom We gave two meetings back in June, you must not've liked 'em There probably was a problem with the Toronto weather or somethin' Sometimes I envy the LA weather when I watch 'em But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man How's your daughter? My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Kawaii I read about your father Mark too, I'm sorry I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't sign with him I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan I even watched the defensive shit that you did on James I got a room full of your posters and your picture frames I like the shot you hit on the Sixers too, that shit was Klutch Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me up Your biggest fan, truly yours, just to chat, this is Rap
Henry Lopez
Dear Kawhi, you still ain't called or signed, I hope you have a chance I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you always ghost your fans If you don't want to give hints about where you're headed You don't have to But you could at least dispel the rumors surrounding you You're scaring my little brother Matthew, he's been a fan for one year old Yet we're waiting in the Toronto' cold For you, for four days, and we still don't know That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his fuckin' idol He wants to ball just like you, man, he likes you more than I do I ain't that mad, though I just don't like being lied to Remember when we traded DeRozan? You said if we won with you, you would sign back See, I'm just like you in a way:I ain't never wanna join LeBron neither He used to always dad dick DeRozan and beat her I love these new Raptors man, and they're all so young So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on ‘Cause I don't really got other teams So that shit helps when I'm a leaf I even see the Fun Guy when I'm in my dreams Sometimes I feel his giant hands enveloping me It's like game 6, the adrenaline is such a sudden rush for me You don't say much, but what you say is real, and I respect you ‘cause you tell it My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about your laugh 24/7 But she don't know you like I know you, Kawhi, no one does She don't know what it was like for Robots like us growin' up You gotta sign with us, man I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose, sincerely yours, Rap P.S.: We should threepeat together soon
Adam Anderson
Dear Mr. I'm-Too-Good-for-Toronto-and-Prefer-LA This'll be the last package I ever send your ass I heard you signed with the Clippers—the Raptors don't deserve you? I know they couldn't match our last two offers We wrote the salaries on 'em perfect So this is my OVO cassette I'm sendin' you, I hope you hear it I'm in the car right now, listenin to In My Feelings doin' 90 on the freeway Hey, Kawhi, I drank a fifth of Virginia Black, you dare me to drive? You know the song by Drake, "In Marvin's Room Tonight" About that guy who could've let his girl have him But didn't, then Drake saw it all, then at a club was drownin' That's kinda how this is: the Clippers could've let us have him Now it's too late, I've made a thousand shitposts now—I'm drowsy And all I ever wanted was a lousy back to back I hope you know I replaced all your posters with some of Lowry's back I loved you, Kawhi, we coulda repeated together—think about it! Lowry, Siakam, and Van Vleet, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about em' And when you play I hope you can't rest And you get injured for it; I hope the Clippers play you And you can't load manage with them See, Kawhi—shut up, bitch! I'm tryin' to talk Hey, Kawhi, that's the Lakers screamin' in the trunk But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you ‘Cause if you tie her up and prevent her from getting free agents she'll suffer more and then she'll die too Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now Oh, shit, I forgot—how am I supposed to send this shit out?!

I sure hope you are referring to their first ever championship in 1947, because I don't think beating a Kyrie-less Cavs in 2015 counts as a legit championship.
Jonathan Allen
The modern NBA is just soft. Garnett set every bridge on fire then pissed on it and still played 21 seasons.

Garnett is highly regarded by almost every player and front office employee. Melo is not. No way in hell Jordan will ever give Melo a contract after years of Melo talking shit about Jordan

How is melo over kawhi? 1st team should be Lebron and KD unless it’s still the meme 2G3F lineup
Michael Garcia
>it's not so bad, it's not so bad Only part that isn't true, 9/10
Matthew Peterson
That's the second team. First team is kind of a meme lineup though, Curry, Harden, Lebron, Kawhi, KD.
its not really blackballing melo is useless right now for some former stars a team will give them a roster spot because they are known as being a team player or a positive influence on young players. Melo has none of that to offer. Blackballing would be if he could actually add value to a team but owners get together and agree to not sign him.
Zachary Baker
he doesnt have any international success, he wasnt even a starter

Joshua Turner
Lamarcus, Gasol, and Lowry will make it on longevity alone. Durant, Wade, Harden, and Lebron are first ballot. Butler and Horford might make it.
Colton Walker
Lakers get: Jaylen Celtics get: Kuzma, Cousins and Rondo
C: Davis PF: LeBron SF: Jaylen SG: Green PG: Bradley Bench: Cook, McGee, Caruso, Dudley, Daniels, THT
Lakers would easily have the best defense in the league. Make it happen, Rob.
Jaxon Williams
why would the celtics do that?
Ryder Johnson
Cause they don't want to pay Jaylen max money.
Nolan Torres
you used to call me on my cellphone
Jordan Cox
Because they don't want to pay Jaylen the max and they desperately need a center and backup point guard. Oh, and because Kuzma has more potential than Jaylen but Kuzma doesn't fit the Lakers system. We need 3-and-D wing guys. Catch and shoot and play tough defense.
Jace Parker
they can get better than a year of cousins, and having to pay kuzma next year. greens contract isnt exactly team friendly either.
Cooper Powell
Pau is HOF tf you smoking
Ayden Bennett
Champion + international success + longevity + good numbers + 6x all star

Matthew Cook
KG had a mouth on him, but he earned his respect. Melo put himself first wherever he went and never got his teams anything for it.
Kayden Kelly
>guys I'm really really black and I got carded at a casino as a 23 year old!
You're stupid even by lakers fan standards. If the celtics wanted Cousins, they would have just signed him this summer. They also don't really have much use for Rondo right now. Neither of them add any value to the trade whatsoever. The only way this happens is if Ainge suddenly decides that he needs to do his team's biggest historical rival a massive favor or if Pelinka suddenly stops being the worst GM who doesn't work for the hornets.
Even if that happens, they're still not as strong as the 76ers defense. Maybe on par with the Clippers with Kawhi and PG13. Especially if they don't have kuz to shove lebum into his defensive rotations.
thanks for the reminder, almost forgot how ugly simmons was
Connor Nguyen
I doubt it. The only guys who've made it into the Hall of Fame primarily based on coming off the bench are Bobby Jones and Kevin McHale (and Manu Ginobili will probably make it when eligible) (Sarunas Marciulionis also was largely a bench player in the NBA but that's not why he's in the Hall of Fame). and Lou Will doesn't come close to any of those guys as a player, he's a defensive non-entity. He'd have to win multiple rings from here on out probably.
The question with Draymond is how long he can maintain his level of play. He's already 29. If he can keep it up for like 5 or 6 more years, I think he's got a reasonable chance.
Nathaniel Flores
what level of play? being a slightly above average defender with absolute ass offensive game? getting easy assists because he passes to 2 of the best 3 point shooters ever?
Alexander Long
hes in the hall of fame just for being on those elite warrior teams.
Jace Collins
Jokic has the early career numbers of a first-ballot no-doubt inner-circle HOFer. You never can tell what happens to a guy down the road but he's as close to a sure bet as any 24 year old can be
Garnett is a top 15 player of all time and Melo is not that at all
Gavin Ward
>slightly above average defender
come on, don't just make up bizarrely untrue things like this
Hunter Foster

Kevin Foster
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR 2019 NBA NATIONAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE ASSOCIATION CHAMPIONS!!
>He'd have to win multiple rings from here on out probably. Not saying that it's guaranteed or even likely, but he's in an excellent position to be a key player on a championship team for the next few years. His chances will be even better if he shows he can pick up the slack when PG or Kawhi rest.
Tyler Cox
Green also left, and he went to a worse team. Why are you only mad at Kawhi?
Sebastian Jenkins
yeah they're going to keep Draymond out of the hall of fame specifically because the Warriors lost in the 2019 finals
Ian Foster
yeah, they're going to put Draymond in the hall specifically because he was carried to a finals win but real hall of famers
Ayden Morales
never forget

Carson Rogers
yeah because draymond green is a bench player. not saying he deserves it just that NBA will give it to him.
Leo Collins
none of those guys will ever make an all star team so I dont know what your point was
John Jenkins
they will do that
Kayden Wood
what kind of crazy shit
There are many reasons to criticize Draymond Green, like he can't shoot 3s and he punches people in the dick. So why do you have to make stuff up? Draymond Green hasn't come off the bench once in the past 5 years. Literally

what is sarcasm you dumb nigger

How do I make 2k not suck ass? Pretty much every game I am shooting 90% from the field and the cpu is shooting 60%+
I contest every shot on hall of fame but they make whatever they want even with a red contest, or if they miss or I tip the ball they get the ball right back in position for an easy layup or Ray Allen finals winning three
Basically every game is just back and forth scoring then I score at the end and win, not the least bit suspenseful. How do I make defense actually matter in this game? Even G league players can pull up off the dribble hand in the face as long as the shot clock is winding down

>ric_bucher >Derrick White is being invited to LA when Team USA reconvenes there next week, a program official told me, which essentially means he has been promoted from the select practice squad to the World Cup roster. (Look for Marvin Bagley to be promoted as well.) One coach told me White was the best player on either team in the Day 2 scrimmages and on Day 3 I saw him damn near replicate that with my own eyes as the select squad played the World Cup squad to a draw in consecutive 10-minute scrimmages. With that, I owe one of my Twitter followers an apology. Last season he touted White as one of the league’s next superstars and I scoffed at the time; I thought he was good but I hadn’t seen anything that merited all that. I have now. He still has to develop a 3-pt shot but his vision and court savvy were on full display as he either hit guys even before they knew they were open or created space to get his own; all that with + defense if not ++ defense. As a Spurs beat writer said to me, “The Spurs found another one.” Indeed they have. Let’s be clear: this isn’t a star-studded camp and White is far from a finished product. But he has elements you can’t teach and the physical tools to utilize them. Do not be surprised if he is both on this summer’s World Cup squad AND next summer’s Olympic squad — in part because the program intends to go young with the team playing back-to-back summers, in part because White has been that good. If I sound hyped, it’s because I am. I love both surprises and players who dominate simply by seeing what’s there a half-second before everybody else. That’s DW.
the murray/white back court will be one of the best in the league next season. can't wait to enjoy it for a ful season until rich paul proceeds to fucking ruin it.
Derrick White is good but the guy is already like 25
Adrian Bell
he should be
Cameron Mitchell
what's wrong with having a 25yo really good player. swear to god some people confuse this with 2k.
Ethan White
It is a “Spurs get a replacement level player/solid starter with a low pick and fans start fantasizing about which of Tony, Manu or Duncan he will become” episode, again.
Dominic Mitchell
Play 2k11
Jason Roberts
they can't keep getting away with this
Ryder Ward
draymond almost had a triple double in a game 7, if curry didnt choke with the behind the back pass and getting locked up by le depression man green was going to be finals mvp. he destroyed the blazers in the wcf this year.
you can dislike him all you want but hes a really good player.
Justin Gray
There's nothing wrong with it, he's a good player and you should be happy to have him, but it's ridiculous to look at him the same way you would look at a 20-year-old who played the same way and expect him to progress into a superstar
Matthew Morris
yeah, they're going to put Dennis Rodman in the hall specifically because he was carried to a finals win but real hall of famers
Adam Robinson
Rodman was the best player on every team he played on
Ethan Watson
Kek
Anthony Adams
they made the playoffs for the first time in nearly 50 years faggot
Nicholas Carter
>pointing out feats from 1 game 3 years ago as somehow evidence that he was good for his whole career
the man's shit. he has had 1 or 2 good finals games where he took a bunch of wide open shots because his team mates were getting double teamed and suddenly people overrate him. He averaged 10ppg when his team mates were steph curry and kevin durant
Alexander Parker
because he's not a scorer
He's an elite defender and very good playmaker
Matthew White
This will be the last basketball game I buy, sad to say. I did not intend to get this one but saw it for a $1 at a yard sale and could not resist
I love the cosmetic changes and I think that makes it impossible to go back to the old school, but the gameplay just feels like nobody designed it. If I have any big man over 6’9 that can shoot regardless of his rating I can beat any team, it is too easy to trick the CPU with pick and fades and by the time they adjust you can just pick and roll/post up and score every time since your player will have his takeover. When they bring the double just pass it, you can literally beat GS at full strength with rookie Mo Wagner/Zach Collins and vet minimum three and D players in this game.
Every game would be a 50+ pt blowout but the CPU seems to score by happenstance or through extremely tight defense every time, don’t leave Michael Kidd Gilchrist open for three either because he “knows his release” and can Green light it
Three thumbs down nigga
Gavin Morgan
>If I have any big man over 6’9 that can shoot regardless of his rating I can beat any team, it is too easy to trick the CPU with pick and fades and by the time they adjust you can just pick and roll/post up and score every time since your player will have his takeover.
seems realistic
Bentley Cooper
>points is the only thing that matters he averaged almost a triple double with half his team out. youre a dumbass.
Hudson Lewis
explain this shit
Connor Long
>He's an elite defender and very good playmaker
that's what everyone who sucks when I go to the y to play pickup says...
Robert Scott
If only someone told Mehmet Okur NBA players will just leave a shooter open after he has converted 4+ threes wide open my Jazzies would have won the chip

how many DPOYs do the guys at the y have
Memo ruled
Robert Johnson
>it's ridiculous to look at him the same way you would look at a 20-year-old who played the same way and expect him to progress into a superstar hol up hol up, that's just your assumption. white is very obviously a different case. his athleticism is what it is. his height is what it is. his peak is closer than it is for any other guy from his draft year.
but in terms of basketball education, he just finished his first full NBA season after a year in the g-league, and his growth over his first full year with the senior squad was impressive. there is no reason to believe his basketball mind will stop growing any time soon. physical age has nothing to do with that aspect of a player.
i posted the dumb ass ric bucher quote facetiously but there are several independent reports stressing he's anything but out of place playing along some of the best individual players in the league. that is his status quo as a physically complete and mentally still growing player. looking forward to his next steps.
Hudson Collins
He will tighten some things up for sure but the problem with Popovich rosters (if there is such a thing) is they are fully optimized, you get to the playoffs and try to hit the acceleration and they do not have anything else to give they are playing at peak level year round. White can probably eventually be the 3rd-4th best player on a contender, but Spurs will never get those number one and two guys with the 18th-30th pick
William Torres
This place won't start picking up until September
Alexander Miller
Age curves are age curves. That's what it comes down to for me. I'm not saying that he completely is what he is, but he's close.
Again, he's a good player, I liked him in the draft, he's the kind of player that you want to have on your basketball team
Dylan Long
After this offseason why would you even draft a 19-20 year old? Drafting a young kid is the ultimate and final cuck of the NBA. >draft kid >pay him millions >takes a roster slot and play time from another player >spend years developing him with your staff >he signs the max and then demands a trade
Brayden Powell
Why dont other teams send out questionnaires to players like the Spurs? I am sure the Nets do since Marks is in the front office but still
The only issues they ever had with guys were Richard Jefferson, Dennis Rodman and Kawhi. Even then with Kawhi they got a title out of him despite him being malcontent, most franchises that lose a superstar wont get nearly that much.
Adrian Bennett
Stephen Jackson as well. DeJounte Murray will probably leave if he gets too good.
Gabriel Jenkins
it all depends on the kind of player you're talking about and the kind of situation you're in as a team
which reminds me, RJ Barrett is going to bust
Julian Parker
>RJ Barrett is going to bust Facts.
Ayden Hall
Yeah they had a few ghetto supercharged thugs (Jackson, Kawhi, Rodman) but they won with them for the most part rather than their franchise losing them for nothing which happens most often in these cases
David Robinson
Israeli apartheid
Wyatt Clark
this is, one, racist and two, a purely insane thing to say about Kawhi
Ryder Brooks
getting stuck with defrozen is worse than losing him for nothing.
Jackson Gray
You fell for my meme?
Kayden Morales
derozan is fine if you're just trying to make the playoffs not win a ring
or if he's like your third / fourth best player
Ian Butler
> fourth best player DeRozan will get that ring once his current contract is up and teams realize he's not a max player. He has that Iggy vibe.
Easton Carter
Joe Johnson vibe more like
dude doesn't play defense
Liam Martinez
making the playoffs as an eighth seed every year is a waste.
maybe he can be a sixth man scorer, he doesnt play d or shoot 3s, iggy can play defence.
Levi Carter
Iggy is valuable because he can play d still somehow and is still athletic a bit. Demar’s offense kind of bogs a team down, last year it looked like he could spread the floor a bit but Pop did not let him take any threes this last season and instead they’re playing boomer ball while everyone else is spraying up
Ryan Carter
>RJ Barrett
will be a bust only because it is Knicks
Luis Garcia
Derozan used to be known for his defense. What happened?
Josiah Phillips
Can someone redpill me on JJJr’s rebounding woes?
John Carter
He's never been known for defense retard, maybe only among people who thought Wiggins and Kobe weren't absolute turnstiles
Ayden Rogers
Realized he could get more money just getting buckets, niggas don’t really watch the game like that and it is more difficult to quantify defense (his stats are only good cause he plays next to ___!)
So why bother? Defense is entirely reputation, people think Lebron sucks ass on D this year because of a few clips and for the longest people were telling me TJ Warren was solid on that end.
Angel Barnes
He had a high bust risk to begin with but playing on the Knicks on a roster full of pure bucket getters is like the worst possible scenario for him
my answer is, who gives a shit if he can rebound, they have Brandon Clarke for that
Julian Roberts
lebron hasnt played D since he joined the Heat
Dylan Richardson
I hate LeBron but he does play D in the playoffs and it's high IQ not to waste effort in regular season
Jaxon Richardson
draymond has never been anywhere close to being the best player in the league. even if he was, congrats to him for being good at the least important aspect of basketball then.
Colton Butler
Defense wins championships, next you will tell me Ben Wallace was a nothing ass player because he literally could not score
Logan Baker
Ben Wallace was a nothing ass player because he literally could not score
Dominic Davis
DPOY is for the best defensive player in the league, not the best player in the league, hope this helps
you are just a fucking moron
Mason Richardson
ben wallace would be useless in todays game as soon as he got within arms length of Harden its a foul
Jose Hill
Call me crazy but I think the Wizards have a real shot this year. Beal is going to carry them to the east coast finals, screencap this post
William Morris
Retards, aka 99.9% of NBA followers, believe in the illusion of marginal scoring ability
Nolan Price
Beal will be All Nba with Jwall in the way
Josiah Perez
Ben Wallace is one of the best defensive players in the history of the league of course he'd still be good
Nolan Watson
They're literally the worst team in the NBA
Evan Murphy
He's like 55 years old you fucking brainlet of course he wouldn't be good
Brayden Gutierrez
adam silver clearly stated the changed officiating to generate more offense. that means no matter how good you are on defense you will be refballed until you are scored on.
Parker Reyes
maybe if they hadn't given away Otto Porter and Satoransky
I will never stop talking about how insane the Otto Porter trade was for Chicago and how 2/3 of the NBA should have tried to get in on that deal
no use pointing this out either since they don't know what marginal means
Oliver Torres
>Muh bad boys
You don't have to foul to play good defense
Henry Bennett
ie making a ben wallace type player useless as anything other than a 2nd string specialist in current year
Caleb Hughes
but you do get to change the rules if defense is too effective.
Jordan Gonzalez
Playing defense is harder overall, but teams are still better or worse at defense, and this still contributes to how likely they are to win a game
What you're saying literally doesn't make any sense
Camden Johnson
A 6 foot 7 forward that is equally effective guarding wings as he is not only big men but the greatest center in the last twenty years in a Finals series would have no use today?
Samuel Hernandez
What team won a title without elite defense? Shit half the starters on the Mavericks run (Kidd, Marion, Deshawn Stevenson) had limited scoring ability at that point in their career.
You really think Lebron scores 17ppg because he was dazzled by Terry, Barea and Dirk?
Evan Kelly
I'm pretty sure their owner panicked and just started giving assets away, going all in for a lottery pick after John Wall was kill. I think Hachimura will be a decent pro too, but it wasn't worth setting the franchise back a half decade imo
Dylan Hughes
no it doesnt ben wallace couldnt change a game by presence alone today. most centers would score on him today due to him not being allowed to play physical and he wasnt fast enough to guard the modern power forward hanging out on the perimeter
Anthony Davis
He literally was dazzled by Barea though
never forget
Even then, at least try to get actual picks back! They got nothing!
Zachary Rogers
the raptors and the warriors draymond green is most overrated player of the 10s
John Howard
Defenses are better now than ever. The Jew also legalized zone defense allowing teams to scheme much more effectively. Scoring has only increased because teams finally realized after 30 years that 3>2 and pace has gone up with less offensive rebounding and deeper bench rotations
Ian Hill
there is no on court defense against this no matter how good you are
that's why James Harden (objectively the best at taking advantage of fouls) has rolled to the last 3 titles and won easily
Matthew Allen
correlation != causation
Eli Williams
james harden was literally the first example i used for a guy that ben wallace would be useless against
Gavin Russell
Still baffles me Ben Wallace had such good defense on Shaq, he looks like a child next to Drummond today he must have lost weight since retirement. As a Detroit nigga I remember this cat wearing headbands on his arms and shit
His strength would be an asset in any era
Caleb Turner
But if your argument is that Ben Wallace would be useless because rules changes make James Harden unstoppable, there's a certain problem to deal with in the fact that James Harden is objectively not unstoppable
David Carter
Elite rim defense is essential against harden
Jason Flores
at the very least you can plainly see that the people who are in control of the league are wanting to push for more offense and less defense. if the correlation is indeed a fluke it doesnt matter, had offense not increased they would change even more rules to get the desired effect
Anthony Robinson
James Harden got locked up by Johnathan Simmons, who had worked at a pizza shop two years prior, in an elimination game when Kawhi got injured. Simmons is by no means a stalwart defender, you are vastly overrating a guy who has never done anything when it mattered.
Charles Bailey
>at the very least you can plainly see that the people who are in control of the league are wanting to push for more offense and less defense.
I agree with this
it's the conclusion that you're drawing from this (defense literally doesn't matter at all) that is incorrect and insane
Wyatt Jackson
not nearly on the same level as
Julian Cooper
if anything, defense getting harder makes good defenders more valuable, not less
Matthew Robinson
not the ben wallace style defense none of that is allowed anymore he would be greg monroe tier today
Nathaniel Nguyen
Will Iggy make the HoF? I'd say he should
Brody Gomez
what do you think "Ben Wallace style defense" is
Angel Lee
ya know kids when you think about it the 1997 dunk contest was the Basketball equivalent of the September 11th terror attacks
Julian Turner
eventually
Dennis Johnson is in, Sidney Moncrief is in, guys like that
Eli Perez
defenders in the 90s (with the exception of Pippen) didn't know how to move laterally at all. instead of staying in front of their player they just fouled at the perimeter
Owen Baker
lots of body checking that drains endurance of opponents but with low lateral speed. Wallace first came to be known as elite defensively when he guarded Shaq on the Heat championship run. He just out muscled him, the same way he played against everybody. They dont allow those body blows anymore.
Samuel Morris
he finished second to gasol for DPOY.
Carter Wright
pippen wasnt a great defensive player he only shutdown trashcan players.
i witnessed the likes of Dan Majerle and Detlef Schrempf shit on Pippens defense regularly.
Nathaniel Morales
i recall watching a young jamal mashburn on the mavericks score about 20 in a row on pippen
Hudson Ortiz
the raptors had excellent defense in Lowry, Green, Kawhi, Ibaka, Gasol, and Siakam; Iggy, Klay, and Draymond are all great as well
Dylan Long
funny way of spelling westbrook.
Adam Bennett
>you are not a good defender if you are scored on Who is good at defense?
Zachary Edwards
me Ive never been scored on in an nba game and had sick block in my little league ymca days
Samuel Morgan
>Who is good at defense?
ron harper, dennis rodman, jordan(when he tried) ron harper got all the toughest assignments during the 2nd 3peat jordan and pippen just hung back and went for steals
Xavier Williams
in response, i say: >kemba has been underpaid his entire career >he had trash teammates and managed to keep them in the running for the 8 seed for most of the season >jordan will offer garbage contracts to batum and others but not pay for actual talent (or sign actual talent) >he made an all-nba team, so he qualifies for up to 220 mil kemba isn't worth 220 mil, but he's worth more than 160
David Hughes
Correct, but not because DA JOOS DONT WANT DEFENSE. Defenders at the time relied on his style rather than movement. Lateral speed, IQ, and team defense make it more about finesse and athleticism than just a big body, which makes wing players especially more versatile untrue. I'll allow that this past season he was at times lazy on D (not always, mind you. He played great defense when he gave it effort) , but that can be written off as load management of sorts -- he was carrying pretty much the entire offensive load by himself and until getting injured was playing a lot of minutes.
Caleb Morgan
i think the batum deal is the reason why they are so hestitant to sign anybody else to a huge deal. 6fters and under typically become useless after 30
Lincoln Baker
not including past players CP3 is 34 and is listed at 6'0" Kyle Lowry is 33 and listed at 6'1" JJ Berea is still great off the bench imo, 35 and 6'1" but let's be real, he's gotta be 5'10" kemba is about where they were imo
Christian Nelson
thats not that many
there are plenty of others that started drying up by age 30 isaih thomas/patrick mills/nate robinson/ty lawson etc etc
Logan Reyes
I'm pretty sure the Hampton 5 will get in
Nathan Hughes
>spade for spade I’m the realest nigga out What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Hudson Stewart
IT played HARD on an injury in 89 though, medicine is way better today plus not everybody would have had the heart to play like that but some do today (Kevon and Kevin)
Hudson Roberts
I was at $10k few months ago, then I got a new 2019 car. Now I’m at $10k again. Who here /bigballer/
Just got laid the fuck out by a car at work; l feel okay just shaky but I am always that way. Do I need to see a doctor or should I be fine?

Ryder Allen
The Knicks should sign Melo for a farewell tour.
Kevin Davis
Which super cool team will find a roster spot for super cool Beas to let him sit out his suspension
Matthew Sanchez
that's one element of his game, and it was necessary playing on the block against guys like Shaq, but it's not the only aspect of his game on defense, and it's simply inaccurate to say that he had low lateral speed. Wallace had great agility and incredible defensive instincts in addition to his strength, and those things would have allowed him to be a great defensive player in any era.
Wallace had finesse, in addition to sheer power. He did not have a big body, he was like 6 foot 8. Would he have been a switch-every-position type of guy, no, of course not, but he would still be an elite rim protector and help defender. and he probably wouldn't have been ridiculous in switches, either
this stuff is ridiculous
Owen Jones
A year ago I said JJJr's floor was Ibaka. Ibaka's career rebounding #s are pretty mediocre, but the reason for that is because he's a stretch 4 on offense and a shot blocker/big who can switch onto the perimeter on defense. It's hard to get rebounds when your game pulls you away from the basket most of the time.

Caleb Powell

Dominic Cruz
Fact: Looney is an above-average rotation player that few people would give a shit about if he wasn't on the Warriors, a team which has no depth and so having an above-average role player is disproportionately valuable to them.
Bit like Dellavedova on that championship Cavs team.
Jeremiah Brown
Delly was below average he just had one shining game in a series that ultimately meant nothing (Lebron was so inefficient due to having to carry the entire scoring and facilitating load he was not able to have a legendary performance like 2016). Horrible the entire rest of his career, no idea what voodoo he pulled on the Bucks former/Magic GM
Leo Fisher
I guess it could be a good team in 3 years if Markannen and Jaren Jackson become your 1st and 2nd options. Zach Lavine isn't built to be a 1st option. You need to have a solid 3 go to scoring options that can put up 20 a game if they need to.
>who can stop us Patrick Beverly Seth Curry Luka Doncic K. Porzingis Dwight Powell
jalen brunson hardaway jr justin jackson mitch robinson
Zachary Gray
Zach is only here because I matched a very fair offer sheet from the 76ers, I am thinking when he is our first option averaging 20ppg Philly will give us a future first and Covington/Saric and Bayless expiring for him and a few vets Kek

>I interned at FS1 and worked as a production assistant with Skip & Shannon. Shannon's obsession with LeBron is beyond creepy. His phone lock screen is a selfie that he took with LeBron who he "just happened" to meet randomly in LA one afternoon. He has me print out (like literally print out on paper) any of his Instagram posts that LeBron likes which he will then framed and hang in his office which is adorn with LeBron merchandise and memorabilia. I get the feeling that he's not tight with LeBron but he's tight with people in his inner circle. He'll be on the phone with somebody asking what LeBron had for lunch and shit. Then he'll literally beg for a Space Jam 2 cameo. It's fucking creepy.
