2014 NBA Off-Season; Paul George suffers a double-compund-fracture, likely out for season. Speedy re

[galaxynexus]

You said a whole lot of bull **** and now are backtracking.

No I didn't know what you meant. Vert means nothing so? Are you trying to say KD is as good of a dunker as prime Vince? Then you bring up short *** 5'3" Nate Robinson like that has anything to do with anything. You disgust me b. Please why don't you reply again and extrapolate on your hyperbolic statements that you try to twist in to actual credible opinions.

Oh yes, call me a troll. Seems like your go to thing to says when you're mad. You a clown.

OK let's go step by step:

1) "Vert means nothing so? Are you trying to say KD is as good of a dunker as prime Vince?"

I said KD has the vert of Vince Carter and I'm not backtracking; reported vertical leaps are just that and sometimes unreliable.

Exhibit A: Blake Griffin measured out at a 36" vert; are you saying he's not seeing VC when it comes to vert? Again, you're being super nit-picky. Is KD not an elite athlete? That's what I was insinuating. Show me a 6'10 guy that runs like him....ANYONE...in the history of the NBA or world. You'd be hard-pressed to name 3. 

2) "Then you bring up short *** 5'3" Nate Robinson like that has anything to do with anything."

Like I mentioned earlier (and a fellow non-troll NTer co-signed me): raw vertical jump #s mean absolutely nothing; if that was the singular metric we used to base athleticism off of then the greatest athletes in the NBA history would comprise of Jordan Farmar and Nate Robinson. See where I'm going with this?

So again, I ask you just like I asked Bonez (who admirably tried to support his position but inevitably ran out of nostalgic anecdotal firepower):

Name 1 player that has:

1) The ATHLETICISM/VERTICAL ABILITIES of a Vince Carter/Dominque

2) The shot that is comparable Curry/Bird and VASTLY SUPERIOR to a Reggie

3) The shooting efficiency of MVP versions of Nash/Dirk/Bird 

4) A 3 point shot that is better than any 3 season stretch of LeBron or MJ

5) Unusually great size e.g Is > 6'10

6) Crunch-time efficiency/production of a Melo (a consensus above-average clutch performer)

7) Ball handling that is superior to the vast majority of 2s and 3s in the history of the league

I'm not even trying to be funny - KD and LeBron have physical gifts to the degree that hasn't been seen since maybe Playoff run Dirk or prime Shaq/Duncan. Kobe, Iverson, etc. were all great players - HOF talents - but physically I think KD and LeBron just outclass them.

But please tell me how KD wouldn't survive in the 90s when 100 pound Reggie Miller was running game against MJ and Co.

Your turn troll. 

 

[mister friendly]

Play one game hand checking and one without and you tell which one is easier

Play one game where the teams can play zone/pack-the-paint defenses and play one where you NEED to play man AKA are required to guard Dennis Rodman at the 3pt line and tell me which one is easier.

Once they allowed zone AND handchecking teams were scoring like 80 a game. Compare that to the Jordan era or the late 80s. Check the PPG numbers if it was really that hard to score.

You know there's a defensive 3 second rule?

Watch games from Jordan's time they aren't face guarding Rodman at the 3 point line they still sagged and helped like they do today

If I have a 20 inch **** it doesn't qualify me as arguably the best porn star ever does it?

It sure gives me the potential to be
But it matters what you do with it not what you possess....

You never answered one thing I said
mouth running followed by backpedaling doesnt convince no1 bro..you lost

Would you say 90s porn had better defense?

 

[bonez7]

What does kd vertical do for his game that makes him arguably the best offensive player to play the game as you say? Mines well answer crossover to?

What besides his numbers makes him the greatest offensive player to play the game?

Does kd make those around him better?
He sets up russ,thabo,Adams Ibaka like Bron does his squad?

Cuz the greatest offensive player in the game wud make those around him greatER and elevate his offense not just his numbers..

Russ thabo lol Ibaka rg Adams wud do the same numbers/production on any other team and you know it

 

[mister friendly]

KD is not the greatest offensive player ever

I would say Jordan,Wilt, Kareem,Kobe, Oscar, Lebron,Magic,Bird and Shaq are better offensive players

 

[gothmog]

even carmelo is better offensive player than durant. 

durant will never win a ring as long as he doesnt learn to post people 

 

[Quincy McCall]

Post moves or not, the boy can score at will, I don't care if he does it with his tongue

 

[equality]

In all seriousness though, imagine KD WITH a post game. Oh my goodness 

 

[offset pow clow]

KD is not the greatest offensive player ever

I would say Jordan,Wilt, Kareem,Kobe, Oscar, Lebron,Magic,Bird and Shaq are better offensive players

cant take you srs if you listing magic & bird is the only one on their arguably a better shooter

 

[mister friendly]

Who said anything about shooting?

 

[703 hwy]

Just to keep the trolling going . I thought Melo was the greatest scorer ever??

 

[darthska]

Gimne AI's exact skillset w/ KD's nice guy act.

League would cream itself.

 

[antidope]

"Act"? Dudes a grown man and still kisses his mom on the mouth. He's a saint until he kills someone

 

[darthska]

I know. I didn't mean it like that, like he wasn't genuine.

Just saying, gimme a guy who kisses his momma after the game like KD, but is AI's skillset during the game.

 

[you go boy]

even carmelo is better offensive player than durant. 

durant will never win a ring as long as he doesnt learn to post people 

exactly... melo got more to his offensive game but KD is more efficient and thats why people like him more.... same with kobe nobody is touching his game right now offensively but still KD is more efficient

 

[offset pow clow]

Who said anything about shooting?

Magic, kareem, wilt & oscar are better scorer than durant? i need to know how

Because ppg said so? What is it

 

[offset pow clow]

exactly... melo got more to his offensive game but KD is more efficient and thats why people like him more.... same with kobe nobody is touching his game right now offensively but still KD is more efficient

Its all about putting the ball in the rim at the end of the day

Melo is only a more aggressive player & can "post up"

 

[100027]

Doesn't matter what you "can do" if you can't do it efficiently. Durant is a miles better scorer than Melo, not even really comparable in terms of the value their scoring has for their teams.

Why can't the media just take it for what PG's injury is? It's a freak injury, could've happened to anyone. Kevin Ware landed awkwardly and the same injury happened. These people need to blame "something" for a story.

Thats just the way the media game goes, just gotta learn to accept it for what it is

This Andrew Wiggins interview on ESPN is probably the most awkward I ever seen.

 

[bigboss]

This Wiggins interview is awful. Someone should have prepped him better, ya know.....

 

[NickFolarin]

Dude, Andrew Wiggins on ESPN.... 

I hate Cleveland putting dude through this 

 

[NickFolarin]

 
This Wiggins interview is awful. 

I feel for him. I had to turn the channel.
