KOBE, TELL ME HOW MY ASS TASTE?
I had that damn game. Got it for Christmas.
Lads, how do I achieve that INFINITE BOUNCE?
Go to a four year university and major in women's HERstory.
Is 30 too old to learn basketball?
It's never too late user. Besides, just shooting around is addictive and very fun.
Who is better right now, Buddy Hield or Devin Booker?
Hield and it aint even close
Would you rather have a guy that gets you 20 ppg, good hustle, elite shooting efficiency or a guy that chucks takes 20 bad shots a game and has the emotional maturity of Demarcus Cousins?
This year is going to be crazy. Pretty much every team is either good, fun to watch, or has a really good young player. This season is going to be so good.
not to rain on your parade. But you've only got about 10 years for this hobby. Once you hit 40, they say don't play basketball anymore. That's how those knee surgeons make all their money.
I'd take Hield in a heartbeat. Booker is one of those sus niggas that have taken over the league along with the likes of Ben Simmons, Kuzma, LaVine, KAT, Wiggins, and KD. Basically a tissue soft nigga who think he all that because he scores but he aint won jack shit. Bitchmade ass nigga to the extreme would get his butt taken by Ben Wallace all day.
I will just be a spotup shooter
DWIGHTDEMPTION
Friendly reminder that Wilt is the GOAT and Bill Russell had a stacked team
This, I love this sport so much it's a shame it has to absolutely rape your legs.
can't wait for the 30 for 30 of this season.
reminder that if her boyfriends white she's single
Do salary caps really make sense? It's weird to see Hayward making more money than Irving and Wall more than LeBron
Based
Wall has played with one team his entire career meanwhile Lelbron is on his 3rd hand picked super team.
Boogie got married
I can see the dolla bills in this bitch eyes lmao
hair and beard too geometrical
busted ass hairline detected
nah, but it isn't a straight line and the curve isn't a perfect 90º angle kek
nice thot ankle tat
what a goblina
Kareem the GOAT
More NBA players to find an athletic woman so he can raise basketball players like Lavar Ball.
boogie with this girl, lebron with his GHETTO HOODRAT wife...what is it with NBA players wives lmfao
if I was an NBA athlete I would definitely do this
be at women's international wrestling tournaments and shit
It depends
If I already have someone who can consistently get buckets and create for himself? Then I definitely take Hield. If I don't have that yet, then I guess I take Booker, even though he's annoying as hell.
high school/college sweethearts be hitting different
Someone post the LeBum and Spongebob characters imagen.
wait why/how is he walking?
good for him though, he seems genuinely happy
why don't NBA measure players barefoot
Even without salary caps players would still go to the big markets, but now they would have inflated contracts
>wait why/how is he walking?
It's ACL, not achilles.
>lebron with his GHETTO HOODRAT wife
Don't you dare speak about Savannah that way white boy
>they say don't play basketball anymore
fuck what 'they' say
The things I would do to that ass
my raptor? why yes indeed, they are YOUR world champions
>tfw no more lin in the nba
PELICANS will win their first title in 2022-23, cap this shit.
Zion is only 14.4 ppg player
Nah he’s a 22ppg player for his first 3 years and then he’s a 0ppg player for his 4th year and then a 7ppg player for his 5th and 6th years and then he’s out of the league
I respect Lebron for marrying his high school sweetheart instead of some soulless gold digger thot
It’s because he has a tiny penor
I respect him even more now
Is this years Western Conference the most stacked conference of all-time?
Has anyone here ever watched a full WNBA game?
fuck kawhi
Ded gen ded sport
If USA loses FIBA everyone will blame the Celtics
Unironically yes
it's really insane
YOUR 2020 FINALS MVP
YOUR 2020 MIP
>I'm gonna make sure I put a bullet through your fucking head
what did he mean by this
he'll sign with a team for the playoffs once he scores 30ppg for the Ducks. Happens like clockwork.
>yfw JLin wins ANOTHER chip
Nigga Zion is nothing more than Anthony Bennett 2.0. He won't do fucken SHIT in this league stg
come on nigga u tellin me u have respect for a nigga who stay cheatin? I kno u Zoomer but educate yourself. LeBron been a thirsty ass nigga his whole career.
pretty solid team just missing a forward
First of all that’s a screenshot which proves nothing
Second of all that’s exactly what an athlete should be doing. Wife the loyal day 1 girl and fuck side chick thots but keep them away from your personal life.
What the fuck happened bros? Are they tanking or something? Should we trust the process?
imagine bein a rich nigga like Boogie and a thot tellin u wut to do. dumb ass nigga shoulda wrapped dat shyt fr
>Second of all that’s exactly what an athlete should be doing
getting exposed as a cheater on social media? LeBron was also caught liking a bunch of photos of thots. And he also propositioned a swimmer during the Olympics, Zoomer bro. You could convince me that doing it in secret is OK but this nigga retarded
Wrong. What they’re missing is an actually good center. They have enough wings. Gobitch is not good
>Is 30 too old to learn basketball?
take it from me literally the only person in the history of this general to play basketball: yes. don't do it. just shoot around. you do not want to enter the world of pickup games because it's a slow, painful descent into hell
>you do not want to enter the world of pickup games because it's a slow, painful descent into hell
You need to find better runs.
Ball is life.
tell me about it. i would gladly take the windiest beach in the world
It's been a long time, but I remember the joystick crossovers feeling more natural than 2K's ever did. Also the soundtrack was fire. But 2K put in the work to earn madden status.
NBA Live '98 had the best soundtrack
I honestly don't think he was trying to fuck her
like Bron actually is not that stupid and if he was that stupid he woulda been caught out a million times over before now. I'm not saying he doesn't cheat just he's smarter about it
1-n-done
you're so naive bro. LeBoon is a dummy. If you ever thought he was intelligent, you got played bad by his marketing team
why do you care?
?? NBA LIVE 18 was the most based basketball game to come out in YEARS. The gameplay and graphics felt right. The create a character didnt bave a single microtransaction. The mechanics felt solid. Playing the game was fun. The ultimate team mode had really fun historical players that you didnt have to pay money for. It was a really good game and then live 19 came out and they cut some content that was in 18 in favor of juicing up the create a character mode.
drop step was broken as shit in
>??
I haven't played one since 2005. Just keep hearing how shit they are now.
go read the thread before you butt in lil boy.
drop step and steve francis was broken in live 2004 glad they fixed that garbage for 06
Big 3 would be better without commentators. Just play music or have an on-court hype man. Hearing them try and dissect pick up basketball is very annoying.
The people who scream 2k is better are the kids who steal their moms credit cards to get a 94 overall in the park mode. In nba live you can get a 90 overall player in about 8 hours with no microtransactions (there are no microtransactions) and the graphics are honestly better. 2k has become such a fucking joke.
The Oklahoma City Thunder (if they keep CP3) have a better roster than the Spurs
White > CP0
Well you don't have to worry cause nobody else wants Chris Paul
He's still a great PG.
There's a bunch of teams that should want him. I think the only actual stumbling block is that everyone thinks he's an asshole.
>I think the only actual stumbling block is that everyone thinks he's an asshole.
Because he is.
sure but that's not the same as being bad at basketball on the court. for example, derrick white is not better than CP3, even if he's less of an asshole.
and I think he's actually good enough that teams should be willing to put up with him being an asshole
His teammates are miserable playing with him.
The playoff teams would have to gut themselves badly to get him.
CP3 plays like a geriatric
Hi James!
Chris was the guy calling for more motion on offense while Jimmy Harden just wanted to run the over 35 rec league offense
Not everyone has to play like the Warriors
So it's either isolation or Warriors? That's the full spectrum of offensive movement?
worked for Toronto
I know, but I would think you need crutches to walk after your knee explodes
It's weird how young the Spurs roster is.
>he wastes time in the shower by washing his legs
can't relate desu
Pickup is fun though. The only downside (especially if you're 30) is that injuries can and will happen. Invest in some nice ankle braces and you'll be okay
t. never gets blowjobs
>Pickup is fun though.
He's probably terrible.
tahnks for posting the goat. now the wilt cunt will kill himself in shame
win win
who is going to be 2020 1st pick?
I know this giant bodyguard dude who bodyguards for multiple big celebs including LeBron. He said LeBron and all basketball players cheat constantly, and also that YG is bisexual and a lot of rappers are surprisingly bisexual.
Boogie was right..
me
mark jackson is garbage
Shoulda kept that same energy when 'baka was deep dicking him in the paint
Who the fuck is stopping this? What lineup in the modern NBA is stopping this, offensively, let alone scoring on it?
No one is stopping this, and no one is stopping Kawhi, who will ascend to his true form this season and go for MVP/FMVP. Beverley will go for DPOY, Harrell will be an All Star, Shamet will have a brilliant shooting performance, Zubac will be hitting the three. Its done. This shit is a wrap.
In the clutch this team is unstoppable too, as it Kawhi and PG werent enough, now they can both pass to near mythical closer Lou when they get inevitably double teamed. The team is so well built on so many levels.
as if that's such a great accomplishment. Spurs got lucky getting Robinson. They used dishonesty to get Duncan. And now that they don't have a superstar they're being exposed. Pop ain't shit but an old asshole on a power trip.
Harrell is too tiny
ladies and gentlemen... your 2020 nepotis-I mean BUCKS!
I hate reddit.
Boogie's ex deliberately told Boogie she's not allowing their son at his wedding, started recording it, kept telling him no after he said please and baited him into an angry reaction and then sold the footage to tmz. And now everyone on reddit is shitting on boogie for an overreacted statement
>Montrezl Harrell
>6’8”, 240lbs
I wouldnt say hes “tiny”.
Reddit is full of spineless cucks, what did you expect? I left r/nba literally a decade ago lmao and it was already shit back then.
>DUDE, IT WAS REFBALL!
What did casuals mean by this?
a whole buncha these niggas cant shoot
don't be retarded. 06 finals was one of the biggest travesties in the modern NBA next to the 03 kings.
I'm not sure if you're new to the NBA but Wade/Ginobili were the original refbabbies before Harden. Don't kid yourself. Look up the 2006 finals FTA. Wade lived on the line and was practically handed the series.
SacTown Kings.
He also attacked the basket all series so stats don't tell the whole story.
>Kawhi
Elite
>PG
Elite
>Beverley
40% from 3 last season
>Green
40% from 3 last season
>Harrell
6MOTY runner up, watch his Drew League highlights, he was knocking down threes and even hit a turn around jumper 3. Harrell is the Clippers biggest X-Factor next season and I predict he will become a danger from 3.
>Shamet
As a ROOKIE Shamet shot 42.2% from 3, technically, as a Clipper, he was shooting 45% from 3, next season he will become a memechucking weapon.
>Lou
Nuff said
Also, Terance Mann is the next SGA.
No one cares about the '05 to '07 Finals anyway.
>DUDE JUST LOOK UP THE STATS WITHOUT CONTEXT!
Like I said earlier, what did the casuals mean by this?
fine you convinced me. But don't ever bring up no fuckin Drew League highlights again Senpai. Shit is fuckin childs play
you're so fucking retarded dude. Wade was out of control barreling his way to the basket. Half of them shits should've been no calls or offensive fouls.
yh but Doc Rivers is not good
Its the mechanics of his shot. Sure hes more confident because its piss easy bullshit league, but that turn around 3 was intense. If Harrell hits that shit next season its going to be bananas. I would wager he comes out in the first game and hits at least two, just to prove a point.
my favorite call was when wade did a 360 layup, made it with absolutely nobody touching him, and then the refs giving him the and 1. This was the weakest era in the nba during the early 2000s post 9/11 "bling" baggy outfits 50 cent era. The league couldn't accept the DALLAS team led by the 7ft freak german winning the finals. Wade had the most absolutely ridiculous calls in his favor and it demoralized that Dallas team.
Every basketball player who has ever lived knows that the aggressor always get the calls. Dallas gets no sympathy from me.
This your first NBA summer?
that's not true at all you dumb fuck
It's very fucking true
moreso has to with reputation. LeBron is probably the best aggressor in the NBA but doesn't nearly get enough calls that he deserves because of his strength. pre 2010s dwight howard was like this as well. It just happened that Wade built a reputation with the refs so that they would benefit him with many questionable calls on his drives. Harden does this today. Wade was a ref babby in 2006 and he always will be. It's funny seeing him rework his image post retirement and this whole viral "wadecounty" thing. Wade has a mini cult going on with the zoomers but it's not nearly as bad as Kobe's cult.
Sure summer leagues are a different beast than the NBA, but last season something unlocked within Harrell, if he comes out with a jumper and develops it, he will be unstoppable. At this point, all indications are that he is doing that very thing.
>tfw only 120 days until NBA Christmas
>if player X gets a jumper he will be unstoppable
literally been hearing this about various players throughout my life watching the NBA. Just be happy that harrell is a pnr beast. The Clippers have a lot of depth. They'll be fine. Don't be unrealistic with guys now. Boban and Tristan Thompson can nail 3s in practice cause they're NBA players who spend their entire lives in gyms. So many players develop talents that they never use on an actual NBA court.
I'll get NBA 2k20 when Hachimura is 85+ overall
Perfect timing for when the game is $25 during a christmas sale and he has a amethyst moments card where he's a 90 overall.
Harden-Westbrook is going to be the most interesting duo in the league next season.
H-Town
WHO
So what's the deal with Fultz? Is he ready to go this season?
The only reason I have hope for Harrell is the energy he brings to the table. Last season was the best of his career by far, hes on an upward trend. Youre right about hitting threes in the gym vs on the court though, im most worried for Zubac in that regard but hopefully he shows improvement.
There is a dude on Miami named Duncan Robinson.
Career ender?
Can u imagine getting involved with a pure succubus in an age where they can easily record anything u say and put you on blast?
CP3 to Orlando for Aaron Gordon, Fultz, and Wesley Frazier (and probably some picks or whatever)
- who says no
- are the Magic a HCA team if they make this trade
it's true that the reffing was abominable during that whole era and it taints a lot of teams, titles, performances from that era
at the same time, wade was good at taking advantage of that and it's a real skill. and also everyone kinda knew what the deal was by 2006 so I'm a little less sympathetic to the Mavs than I am to the Kings for example
Clips need one guy who can be a consistent rotation defensive big. IDK if Zubat can do it. If he can't, they need to get someone at some point
but that's really their only weakness
>vince Carter retiring is the last connection to my youth

enjoy knee surgery. ill stick to cycling and watch basketball/occasionally shoot around
Then leave the thread.
>implying more than 10% of this general plays basketball regularly
Then they all should leave too. Not welcome around here.
only reason why big bad bill was the leader of the celtics was because he was the loudmouth, angry negro of the most favored nba team.
even back then, liberal media was already taking control.
Who let Cousy out of his cage?
it had 17 frames of input delay lmao
It was horrendous but I didn't know any better
Injuries don't happen in your 30s, they happen in your teens and then turn into chronic pain in your 30s. Anyone's who's balled for close to 20 years has developed their old man game by that point and can go entire games without their feet leaving the floor while still putting up decent numbers.
cherry picked picture.
only because at this angle, it shows ref whistle was justified.
*** 97 fta in 6 games ***
*** one team can use "playoff defense" but not the other ***

women are fuckin' weird, man. they expect you to be all romantic and like "i'm not gonna' shoot you in the head" during their wedding. they think they're a disney princess or something. it's like "wake up bitch?" girls get threatened with death all the time by the grooms on the wedding day. it's not that bad of a thing you make up on the honeymoon
He said that to his ex not his wife
No point trading for a guy who didn't risk his body to win vs warriors

Why are thots so dumb!?
Curry
Jordan
Bird
Garnett
Robinson
He will unironically have a better career than Zion ‘Greg Oden’ Williamson because he’s basically a Westbrook-style PG, which has great longevity and fits in any team. Morant will probably win ROTY too
He literally got a million calls those final two games. Granted, he was also playing his ass off, but the refs did everything to make sure that the Heat win.
This loss actually destroyed Dirk for the next couple of years before he avenged his loss by BTFO the Heat(les)
He's not as physically gifted as Westbrook, but he's got a better shot & has less of a ball hog psychotic chip on his shoulder. I always though Westbrook should have been mover to the two spot anyways.
>Who the fuck is stopping this?
no one, but deep down everyone already knows that
If you think you know for a fact that Zion will never be healthy, congratulations on being a better doctor than literal NBA health staffs.
Morant isn't quite a Westbrook type, totally different build but a better shooter. Don't think he'll win ROTY bc it's hard to be a dominant offensive force as a rookie guard but he has a great situation to develop in Memphis
>Add 4 point line
>A point in the paint now worths the same as the last made shot
There, fixed the NBA for you
Doesn't need fixing
You don’t have to be a doctor to understand that a guy who weighs the second most in the NBA coming INTO the NBA, while being only 6’7, does not have a long and healthy career ahead of him. Especially after he injured himself in literally the first summer league game. Also don’t be retarded and pretend it’s doctors who are drafting these guys - GM’s draft injury-prone busts all the time
curry
wade
bron

Everyone would just shoot 4 pointers and then foul any retard who tries to do a layup so they only shoot twice. Terrible idea, chimp
>there's no foul limit
Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
>Shaw
I never understand when people put together teams that have guys like Wade, Dirk and Hakeem (or whatever) all at the same time as well as someone like Bron
a huge part of what makes Wade so valuable is that he's incredibly good at getting buckets with the ball in his hand, but he's not as good at it as Bron is, so what the fuck is he gonna do when Bron has the ball. We literally saw this IRL with the Heatles who underperformed relative to their talent in large part because Wade and Lebron didn't complement each other and Wade had to take a step back and play in a way that didn't maximize his abilities. And the same is true of Dirk and Hakeem albeit to a lesser extent cause Dirk can hit the 3 and Hakeem can defend. But like what's Wade going to do while Hakeem is dream shakin' it in the post
You only really need one dominant on-ball scorer
>Lebron
>Paul George
>Kawhi
>Durant
>Davis
Literally doesn’t matter. Have your end of the bench retards go and foul them over and over, who gives a fuck about bonus situation when you can literally score twice the best possible FT outcome in a single possession. You are so fucking retarded if you don’t see how astronomically better a 4 point shot would be than literally any other shot in the game
Napier
Shuttlesworth
Rip
Don-YELL
CT's own Drummond
This is literally why the Bulls are the greatest team of all time. Because they had Jordan, who was the single greatest on-ball scorer of all time, plus two HOF-level players whose primary talents didn't involve just reduplicating Jordan's ability to score
Most of these kids never saw Hakeem play beyond a few highlights. They have no idea how an offense needed operate around him to maximize his game. Hakeem and Jordan on the same team always gives me a laugh.
I forgot Kemba?!
>if you don’t
i never said i didn't
the problem with the current nba is that you can win games by literally just shoot fucking threes and going back to defend. with 4s and the new post rule it would be better to change strategies every possession
If team a hits a 4 pointer, next time you can just throw to the post or drive to make a basket that worths the same
also, 4 pointers would be a lot harder to make than 3s, it's not even comparable
Jim Calhoun is so underrated. Fucker built a powerhouse in the fuck of all places east bumfuck.
Kemba Walker
Ray Allen
Caron Butler
Donyell Marshall
Emeka Okafor
Bench: Ben Gordon, Richard Hamilton, and Rebecca Lobo
most teams would only shoot a four if they really needed it or they had a player like curry/lillard/ryan anderson
Gotta put Rip in front of Caron there. I also put Diana T. & Kahlid on that as well
I liked Caron @ Yukon a little more than Rip. I also liked El-Amin a lot
They do. They just don't list them that way. nbadraft.net
I'm so glad UConn is headed back to the Big East.
it is sorta funny that the combine measures are the only trustworthy ones bc NBA players just love to lie about their height
The most overrated player of this draft desu
that arena in Greece where Pitino was bitching about people smoking. I've heard that Greeks actually go apeshit for basketball
think you meant Cam Reddish
I'm seriously questioning your feel for the game right now.
Wade still complemented LeBron better than Mo Williams and Delonte West ever did. Stars team up because it's better than playing with bums even if it isn't a perfect fit.
Damn I want her...
thots are nothing more than a pest making your favorite players worse.
when virtual pussy is perfected, it will be the dawn of a special age in basketball. All the players will be sexually satisfied and ready to devote themselves entirely to basketball. No more Kobe rape allegations. No more divorces making Pau Gasol play like a bitch. that age can't come fast enough Tbh.
Testosterone increases in males after sex, and I'm fairly certain the same hormones will not increase after sex with a robot, so you're wrong, living females win again.
Reminder that Dwight Howard literally gets fucked in the ass by trannies
Yup, That handedd program is on death's with that move though. Fuck FBS Handegg anyways. The better rivalries are in FCS with Quinnipiac, Yale & eventually UMass anyways.
nah buddy, if you trick a male into THINKING he's fucking a real female, that same test increase is gonna happen. Starts in the brain, not the dick my friend. It's just a matter of technology. You'll see. Hell, you'll feel.
>when virtual pussy is perfected
this its a wrap
Can't mimic the conquest of sex with a new female bro, sorry.
that will be an amazing day. And I say day because you know it'll happen fast. ALL roasties will be instantly relegated to fat chick status. Bitches will literally be begging for the dick. Don't know if I'll be so generous to provide. These loads are going virtual T B H
Only for an insecure male who's inexperienced. The rest of us don't care about mind games. And we can always fire up the dating sim if we get the urge.

why don't you follow your own advice, retard?
In our 2 big arenas in Greece, there is a special area for the nutsjob crazy fans who smoke weed and get into fights...

Stay in Hondorrus, Miguel.
Let's see your all-time team then, genius. Can't wait to see Reggie Miller's bum ass on your list over Jordan. Fuck off with that retardation dude. The best players in the game can adapt to playing with others. What the fuck do you think the Dream Team was, retard
He played in division 2, none watches division 2.

When it comes down to regular season games, its more quiet and comfy...in euroleague play offs and games between rivals, it gets crazy.
legit feels like an NCAA game. pretty cool
I gotta watch some euroleague this year
The worst thing is lottery pick tier players are going to the combine less and less so we'll never know for sure the heights of the best players.
You just know she wants to get Rui'd
Something which feels like a blessing and a curse for the NBA, is how star player driven it is. Of course star players make the game more popular, but at the same time, they create loads of bandwagoners. After watching the NBA for the last 5 years, I have to confess that the knicks actually have the most loyal fanbase.. going through all that shit for years...
The closest team to having a soccer club fandom is the Knicks.
Handegg will be killed in the very near future. All we'll have is mandrama NBA. I may become a soccer fan.
Rooting for teams is so antiquated.
I watch the sport because I like the sport.
just look at em on the court bro. simple as that.
the dream team was a million times better than their competition anyway so it didn't matter about maximizing lineups, and they still had a bunch of guys - Bird, Drexler, Ewing, Pippen, Robinson - who were useful complementary players
I have Jerry West, Jordan, Bird, Garnett, and Duncan on my all time lineup
>they create loads of bandwagoners.
Who cares? How does that effect your enjoyment of the game?
'87 Magic
'91 Jordan
'86 Bird
'04 Garnett
'00 Shaq
>Jerry West
LMAOOOOOOO you should've posted your lineup first so I could disregard every subsequent post. You have no credibility now. You are a clown my man. But I'm sure Jerry West has better complementary skills than Curry or Magic.
Come on bro do better.
In my opinion its more exciting for a fan to see his local team which he supported for years succeed, than see Lebron or Curry or whoever the next big thing is succeed.
Also Lebron and Skip Bayless have turned this league largely in a WWE soap opera...
'00 Shaq still couldn't guard the pick and roll
'86 Bird still not better than like 10 of LeBron's seasons
'87 Magic couldn't guard shit and couldn't shoot
Hell, you'd be up shits creek against KD's Warriors.
92 Jordan can at least shoot 3s
Protip for all the retards making all-time lists
If more than one of your guys can't shoot 3s, you have a meme team
If even one of your guys can't play D, you have a meme team
If more than one of your guys can't pass, you have a meme team
'91 Jordan could too, just chose not to.
>Early Orlando Shaq could
>Bird dies for the chance, Lebron blames others
>You millenniums don't know shit about Magic besides AIDS
>Hell, you'd be up shits creek against KD's Warriors.
The Rockets took that Warriors team to 7 games.
Attention:
Do NOT bandwagon my Clippers next season
Thanks
it's a coin toss between Curry and West really. West would have been a really good three point shooter if they had the 3 point line back then (although obviously not as good as Curry) but I think probably a better defender than Curry. Could swap Curry in there if you wanted to but honestly I think you're just underrating West
Curry
Jordan
LeBron
Garnett
Duncan
Swap in Garnett for KD when we go small.
imagine Curry guarding Magic. You kids are naive af.
I know plenty about Bird and Magic. Magic couldn't shoot to save his life. Neither could play D.
Early Shaq could defend PNR but he wasn't the same force offensively as Lakers Shaq.
That just means the Rockets would snuff your team too
Imagine replacing Kareem at Center in the clutch game of an NBA Finals whilst being the greatest Point Guards of all time... your rookie year.
Clippers Starting Lineup 2019 (from left to right)

Bird was a good defender before he fucked up his back
Magic was OK on defense, not a great defender and he gambled a lot but the dude was tall as hell and smart he wasn't going to kill you on D
Bro stop it. Curry's guarded guys like Ben Simmons plenty competently. Sorry to tell you, but Magic would be Ben Simmons if he played today. And Curry just needs to funnel him into the paint with KG and Duncan waiting there since Magic couldn't shoot.
Now imagine Magic guarding Curry out at the 3 point line. Or in the pick and roll. Yeah, I didn't think so.
Won't be
Nobody's contesting that he was amazing in that game. But that was during the shittiest era of basketball when players would drink and do coke before games. The game was barely a professional sport at that point.
Magic had a great mid game. Ben can't hit nothing. Magic was a magician in the open court, hence the name. MOTHERFUCKIN HENCE SHOWTIME FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKIN KIDS I'M DONE
I mean let's be clear, Magic is like a version of Ben Simmons that's better in every single way, and also willing to take jumpers sometimes, and clutch. and Ben Simmons is pretty good at basketball as it is
That said I agree that he wouldn't be like unguardable or anything
Would've been even funnier with the updated roster
Basketball was a JOKE before 2013 dude
No, just take 3 pointers til exhaustion, that's fun.
Fine, my guy Ray Allen gets a million points now.
Both would struggle against the quick guys in today's game. Teams BARELY played D in those days. They barely even ran pick and rolls.
Geez I didn't say Magic was BAD
This.

fuck vevo
I fw Kawhi heavy and I predicted in 2k11 that he's going to make it
the 90s were like 100 years ago boomer
stop listening to that nirvana crap and move on
So you'd like to return to the era of
no zone defense
hand checking (lol gay)
set shots
teams so shitty that you can replace a Center with a rookie PG and still win against them
players coked out of their minds
no 3s or pick and rolls cuz ppl were too dumb to use them
finals on TAPE DELAY (that '80s finals was NOT EVEN LIVE lol)
I like Mac Demarco too. Blaze it up 420.
nigga you aint predicted shit
YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Pat Riley Knicks are my idea of a fun time.
fuck you nigha I predicted derrick williams to be a bust and that kid thought he's going to Cavs
Me too, THAT was basketball
I wish they'd just take the air out of the ball to cut down on all the dribbling antics
Ray Ray would have scored slightly more but honestly people exaggerate how much of a difference it would have made. Like, compare Ray to Klay (based on per possession stats) - in his prime Ray was taking 10 3PA and 14 2PA per 100 possesions, Klay averages around 10.5 or 11 3PA and 13 2PA the last couple years. Ray didn't play that long ago and he was the kind of off-ball shooter that coaches are more comfortable letting shoot anyway
The bigger difference is when you go back to the 80s or 90s, or you look at big men and bigger wings, or you look at guys pulling up and shooting off the dribble - that's where the difference comes in
pure nostalgia and you know it. Those teams were unwatchable. NBA would be dead right now if they still allowed that baboonery
ya familiar with sarcasm buster?
That one kid was being ironic & shit.
I agree with your point about Ray but I don't think it's fair to compare his numbers to Klay. Klay had to play next to KD and Curry ffs. If he was the main guy lke Ray was, he would be shooting all damn day.
If I missed your sarcasm my bad. I'm just sick of seeing faggy millenials and Gen Xers wax poetic about '90s basketball. Honestly sick of seeing faggy throwback jerseys too. Shit is played out.
Defense is good, masturbating on the 3pt line is boring, son.
This is actually the best general on spuh. Bless you all, /nba/.
I agree he would have shot more, just not *that* much more. Like, I think he would have taken 1 or 2 more 3-pointers a game. I just don't think he would have been in the Harden / Curry category where he would have been chucking up 12 3s a game.
perhaps there is... a balance
Basketball has never been better.
Nope, it's fucked. Make it a bloodsport again. Y'all some pussies afraid of getting yur bell rung.
Kawhi is literally saving the NBA
Doesn't need saving.

I would honestly be fine with allowing more contact but old school basketball fucking sucked a lot of the time and ball movement and spacing are extremely good and should be encouraged
I know it's easy to disregard old players but I don't think West would even be in the league in today's game. Dude dribbled with his right hand like 90% of the time and never heard of a crossover. Meanwhile Curry has one of the best handles ever. And curry's D isn't THAT horrible.
Now if you wanted to talk Bill Russell, I think he would still be good into today's game. He was short for a big man but so is Dwight Howard. And Russell ran a sub-50 second 400m. That is fucking blazing fast if you didn't know. I doubt any big men before or since could do that or even get close.
THIS A MAN'S GAME YOU KNOW THAT
I like defense, am I weird? I love a 'Bama LSU FBS 6-3 bloodfest.
No, I think a lot of people have nostalgia for that shit. But wait until you have to see that shit every fucking game.

It was. Now it's one guy. No team, no love.
>Vince Carter is 121 points away from passing Carmelo Anthony in scoring
Something or nothing?
First they came for our guns. Then they came for our Handegg.
I was a lil guy who played a couple a varsity games HS & I've had several dozen concussions, but at least I ain't no cunt.
Dribbling rules were called a lot differently back then, especially carrying / palming. It's not like West was Cousy-level dribbling.
I agree Russell would still be good, same way Ben Wallace was an elite defensive center at like 6'8, and Russell was better on offense than Wallace
Nothing.
This is definitely an accurate description of teams like the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors
Why don't more canadians post in this general, after all we are the current champions.
Something because fuck Melo. Meme ass nigga. Scored a shitload of points that amounted to exactly 0 fuckin finals appearances, 0 fuckin rings.
Those damn Nuggets too bro, ruining the game
incorrect. Kawhi Leonard is the current NBA champions
Spurs don't even got a guy. Duncan is a good soul, this is all in blindness but that fucker seems genuine.
Nah bud. KAWHI is the current champion. You homos were paying this niggas bills
what country is toronto located in?
Who the fuck is stopping him next season?
I have to agree. Most get exposed eventually for being pieces of shit in some form or another, but I still haven't seen a bad mark on Timmy's record. Dude is just wholesome. Robinson was like that too but he had a bit more of a mean streak.
VERY IMPORTANT POLL:
Only himself or PG getting hurt. Bron is gonna be too busy workin out D12's glutes to focus on the court.
PG + SF
Curry/KD literally had the best pick and roll of all time by most measures.
I don't think it's too early to say that those Warriors teams were some of the greatest in history. We already knew that once KD signed. But it was even a level above the Heat's Big 3.
>MJ & Pipp
>Curry & KD
>Bron & Wade
It's SG and SF
Timmy was unbelievably based. He opted to actually finish his degree instead of going straight to the pros and STILL managed to win 5 rings.
He gone beat the shit outta her too?
Lamelo
are you ready?
Lin signed in China btw
weforgot to say that
I know someone who is
i still can't believe they actually signed him lmao
Did Boogie take the crown for most JUST’d player from Derrick Rose?
?seriously
nigga gettin dat ass ready for a poundin all season
what is this webm showing
DRose aint even did a damn thing doe
he'll fit in with the rest of the fuccboi ass odell beckham ass sus ass niggas in this league
are darkskins threatened by mulattoes?
We winning the ship this year boys
yes, very much so
Even without KD the warriors are the best
darkskin niggas stay thuggin wit da hoodrats but da bougie chicks and white chicks like lightskin niggas. Lightskin niggas also downy soft. Like all of them fr. Just peep Lonzo n Kuzma if you want the proof.
dunno if they are the best but everyone is sleeping on them, with all the players being healthy they are still serious contenders without kd
they are better than the lakers and all east conference teams
i mean they set the nba records for wins without him and they have dlo now
His career was ruined by injuries and he got accused of rape. Also told his haters to kill them selves in an interview lmao
y'all needa quit it. They aint gon do shit this year. Even with Klay their team is unbalanced af. No reboundin ass niggas
okay we will see at the end of the year bud
Warriors will be mathematically eliminated before Klay gets back lmao
wcs and green can rebound
There's a reason why WCS aint played more than 28 min/g his whole career. Dude is a scrub.
Green? Nothing more than a 6'5" manlet IRL. Don't make me laugh. Gobert is gonna make the Warriors his bitch.
green averaged over 10 robounds last season and he doesn't even steal the rebounds or gets them for free to start the fastbreak, he's a great rebounder for his size
Does anyone remember when Rubio was still playing in Spain. People really thought he was gonna be the Spanish Magic Johnson
Boy were they right
he shouldn't need to be grabbing so many boards, it means he's playing out of position on the floor because the Warriors had no bigs.
You could talk me into Looney doing something before WCS does. But it's undeniable that they're weak af there. I could see their defense being awful this year.
bigs aren't that relevant anymore, cavs won their ring with a 6'8 center (1 inch taller than green, same weight) and the raptors won it with a 40 years old gasol being the worst player on the court (counting both teams)
whatever you say bud. can't wait to see Gobert and AD go balls deep on you all season
>on you
mate, I don't root for any team in the nba, just being objective
Why can't LeBron just get a sugar baby? WTF is wrong with these people? Sugar babies are like 30k a year. He could easily get 10.
he's stuck with some shoe faced ghetto high school pregnant thot
who wouldn't cheat?
Yes, and that's why he should get sugar babies. There are tons of websites for these things.
Looney and Green are pretty good defensive pieces to have down there. It's not like you really need to be worried about guys posting up on you any more
the big issue for them is lack of wing depth, they need some of the kids to step up
LeBron is a fucking manchild idiot, him being a shrewd businessman and all that shit is just memes.
9 years ago but he hasn't matured much since youtube.com
Sugarbaby?
why are you posting a closeted gay man, user?

ONLY POST THE BIG DIPPER
IF Porzingis is healthy... big IF... but what does that team do? Probably a whole lotta nothing but fun to think about.
10th seed
wtf since when was Dwight tatted up?
as much of an idiot as he is I thought he wouldn't have fallen for the tattoo meme
it's not funny when the lakers lose.
He was very anti tattoo and then he got a bunch in the summer. I think heading into the hornets season
how you pronounce that shit? Poor zingies?
Chocolate city truly ruined him.
centers like gobert are obsolete during playoffs
nope
>lion king tattoo
based
ironic because he's such a shitty father
How good would Manute Bol have been if he played in his 20s and 30s?
May switch to charles Barkley
Curry is a PG not a SG
eh
bigger issue would be figuring out how to knock down an open 3, he was already a good defensive player even with his fragility
yes correct
i hope you guys aren't too whiny this season when we stomp the nuggets out and easily win best coast~ jazz getting humiliated too they simply don't have the O needed to deal with us
Aint no one stopping us next season
Objectively most aesthetically and spiritually desirable outcomes
WCF: Clippers > Nuggets
ECF: Sixers > Nets
Finals: Clippers > Sixers
I'd blame Middleton
He waited for the right team for 1st pick
What did /nba/ say about my Rapties??????
>No Cliff Robinson
Robinson put UConn on the map.
Clippers/Raptors Finals is ultimate kino, added bonus is elimination of the Lakers in the first round after they struggle for the 7 seed.
Curry is an SG who has to guard PGs in the NBA because he's a manlet. If he was an actual PG he would have played the position in college.
How hard will Curry decline this year?
He’s going to be 32 years old this season and lost his biggest crutch in KD
Ffs my Rapties ran a box and 1 on him in the NBA Finals and he couldn’t do anything for like 3 minutes straight
He’ll do what Harden did in the regular season this year and then get bounced out of the second round
Unfortunately I can’t really see my raptor making the finals again this year. They could make the conference finals if Milwaukee and Philly end up on the same side of the bracket, as my raptor are definitely still league’s better than the Celtics, Pacers and Nets, but beyond that I don’t really see it
Clippers vs Brooklyn as KD comes back for the Playoffs will be the ultimate kino
>Hey sports fans!
Saying Lebron is the goat is like saying a tranny is a woman.
We know that shit ain't true
Wrong. He is a PG. Klay is an SG. KD was the SF. And Draymond was the PF.
Being a PG with shooting skills does NOT mean you're an SG
This, easily. Faggot may even set a few records and get some MVP buzz. But their defense is going to be atrocious and he won't even sniff the finals.
wtf, the defender didn't even jump to block the shot
shaq is the greatest big man of all time.
JR Smith, the dumbest man in America, turned down a 1.6 million dollar contract from Jiangsu and miles of Asian pussy in the deluded hope that a NBA team will want to pay him league minimum to fuck up their chemistry, act like a retard, and play with zero basketball IQ. Just take the money you retard.
Raptors are not better than the Pacers or Nets. You could argue that they're better than the Celtics purely because the Celtics don't have a starting center
You are - in fact - incorrect
Y'all sus motherfuckers posting anime hoes need to kys asap
can they please stop fighting it makes me sad...
Why is Shaq such a sensitive bitch?
Kobe is being a bitch for no reason starting shit
Kobe is a motherfucker fuck Kobe
Shaq carried his ass to 3 titles already and Kobe is out here acting ungrateful
Hello ameribros, I have never watched an NBA match but I'd like your opinion on who is the best basketball player of all time?
The Nets are complete trash. Brainlet Irving with an even worse supporting cast than he had in Boston. DeAndre Jordan is completely washed. They’re a joke, 6th seed at best. Pacers could arguably beat my raptor, but I doubt it
Stacey Augmon
He had a point Shaq could've easily been the GOAT
The state of these games bruh..

false, memer
That would be a man by the name of Jeremy Lin
u aint want none of this smoke lil nigga
Kyrie Irving is the literal embodiment of the Dunning-Krueger effect
His dad shoulda named this lil nigga Joe or some shit. Soft names create soft niggas. Just look at Devin Booker.
Jarrett Allen should be the starter over Jordan.
They have a better supporting cast than he had in Boston #facts
big question for team USA is, do they put lineups that actually make sense on the floor, with Kemba and / or Mitchell surrounded by shooters and defenders?
or do they play their "best" players and have fuckn Harrison Barnes out there
wow, super gay, slam dunk is the only chad sports anime
Unpopular opinions?

Rui Hachimura was best player in the draft. Will be next Giannis.
Shaw also had a point. Kobr could have been remembered as the Bill Russell of his generation had he passed the ball more
Cedi Osman
keep runnin dat faggot mouth lil nigga see wut happens

LOL Kyrie's "supporting cast" was LITERALLY five minutes away from the NBA Finals while he was nursing his torn labia
I'd like to tear up her labia T B H

Curry
Jordan
LeBron
Duncan
Shaq
Knicks didn’t get a bad return for Porzingis and they are setting themselves up nicely for the future. It’s just fun to shit on the Knicks and their mercurial fan base.
GSW will never be serious contenders again.
Actually, scratch that. GSW will only be serious contenders if they manage to flip Russell for another elite big.
They ain’t contending with Curry/Klay/Green as their big 3.

wet dick is nice but have you ever whispered into a girl’s ear before kissing her neck?
They literally won two titles with Curry/Klay/Green as their big 3. They won't be title locks with that big 3 anymore, or even necessarily title favorites, but they would absolutely be contenders. Also, the Warriors have been fine and are fine going to war with Green and Looney as their starting big men and they are much more in need of high-quality wing players than big men. Bizarre how everyone focuses so much on them needing big men
But ultimately it's true that the big question is what they get back for DAR.
Wilt is the greatest. ESPN and the nba don't mention him because he is a real threat to the Jordan Brand.
Detroit Pistons tbqh
They’re all hitting the wrong side of 30, are visibly in decline and the Warriors don’t have that much depth. KD and injury luck were the difference makers on recent Warriors teams and they’ve both abandoned the team.
Also, Looney is not a good player. Borderline NBA starter flattered by his team. Nice contract for a team that needs depth but not much more. One of the most overrated players in the NBA
I agree that the depth is a concern and I agree that they're not going to be as good as they've been the last 5 years. But at the same time, they can decline somewhat and still be a really, really, really good team. It's not like players stop being NBA players immediately the second they turn 30. Curry is 31, Dray and Klay are 29. I don't think that the Curry / Dray / Klay core is obviously significantly worse than, for example, the Jazz core over the next 2-3 years.
Again, I agree that they're going to decline somewhat and I agree that it matters a lot whether they can make solid moves to add depth and whether some of their young guys develop into contributors. But I also think there's this weird myopia where people look at the Warriors, correctly recognize that they're not going to be as good as they've been the last 5 years, and conclude that therefore, they will be complete shit.
Wow these are awful
He's not doing a squat here. He's doing like a stretch to warm up his glutes/groin
If u watch his full motion he really exaggerates the hip thrust at the end which tells me he's trying to activate the glutes and he's using lightweight.
awfully good you mean. Better than that burgundy and blue shit.
>this thread is literally a week old
I'm literally living my life fantasy of watching /nba/ crumble into nothing. this is the worst it's ever been, I won
Also a lot of Euros don't go.
The league lets them exaggerate their height because it makes them seem better. Like MJ being listed at 6'6" makes him sound more mythical then if people knew he's actually "only" 6'4".
It does cause people to underestimate earlier eras though. Players in Wilt/Russell's day were the same height as modern players but people think they were shorter because 60s heights are honest. Pic-related, both were listed at 6'9" but obviously Bill Russell is a lot taller
Raptors will not make it to the second round.
Nothing to talk about
you guys are fucking homos, go listen to drake and drunk text your ex (I know she ugly too). Pussy ass nigga stay simpin while the rest of us work on advancing the human race.

What will be his legacy?
there will always be questions about whether or not CP3 was a flawed player-- he was supposedly too short to be effective in the playoffs, too hard on his teammates. I think he just had a lot of bad luck combined with being overpaid for a large portion of his career starting in LA, which could have been used to sign better teammates.
He was also a LOT better before his knee injury in NOLA. Dude was literally up there with LeBron for Win Shares. His athleticism dropped off a lot afterwards and he was still pretty incredible.
Dude should be remembered as one of the great PGs. I would deadass rate him above Stockton.
Did the New Jersey Nets really blow a +25 point lead in the playoffs?

Am I the only one who's realized that Pop actually does not care about winning at the international level? The man just doesn't give a shit about international trophies, which is why every time he's involved with Team USA they underperform. When Pop goes overseas he just wants to visit landmarks, eat nice food, and drink wine, he doesn't care about basketball. He can do that back in the States.
That's what happens when you make a globalist your national team's head coach
Yo PLEASE stop posting these
if only Russ could control his shot selection. KD would have never left and the Thunder would make history.
imagine the NBA signs 38 year old Joe Johnson and Melo still don't have a contract
Seriously wtf is the league going to do with this Melo situation
>tfw on a team full of cancers, Westbrook wound up being the biggest cancer of them all
NEW
as much as people hate KD, he really was an amazing player that took advantage of a great situation.
if butthurt retards paid more attention to the benefits granted from the National Players Association, they would form their own superteams.
having pride and being a nobody is just pointless. once you get that ring, you are a part of history forever.
WE GOIN GIT HOODIE MELO
Slam Dunk is the greatest basketball anime of all time. Also I imagine this is what Rui Hachimura's life is like every day
The Wiz should have considered all possible options. They weren't a good team even when he was healthy.
they still need a good bench. especially a sixth man
I'm glad Pop is willing to teach young players how to play basketball the correct way. This is great for the league's competitiveness.
is he really in decline? I doubt groin injuries can be that serious.
his mom was dying and made him and his sister promise to graduate college.

Ben's hair is a shot contester on its own right so the height is still correct
