2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[dmvisrnb]

Russell Westbrook is the best at attacking the rim, but not finishing. He does not have the shot making ability or creativity of a Kyrie or a Rose.

He also isn't overrated. He is great and he will prove it again this season.

 

[toodope91]

Yeah Bron overrated. The average fsn will tell you he's a great defender and great at finishing at the rim.

He's the ultimate Stat padder

Yeah true 

 

[abematic]

None of this are discrediting RW but he just doesnt have the backboard juice

 

[Moheezy]

Kyrie has become insane at using the glass. Some of his shots just don't even make sense.

Plus he was actually showing it off in the finals

I started practicing what he recommends.

Kyrie, Parker and Nash are the best under the rim finishers I've ever seen.

Nash

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Kyrie, Parker and Nash are the best under the rim finishers I've ever seen.

None of them dudes could finish like Rod Strickland

 

[Air Pope]

Kyrie has always been great at finishing at the rim. From high school, all the way to the NBA.

 

[Moheezy]

Kyrie, Parker and Nash are the best under the rim finishers I've ever seen.

Nash was awesome at spacing himself as the defenders are trying to block the passing lane rather than stop him from scoring.
Parker was just so fast and would kill you with simple yet highly effective moves. spin moves and floaters.
Kyrie would just kill you with his combos, it's impossible to predict what he will do because has a counter for everything.

All perfected the art in their own ways.

Parkers finishinh lay ups are doje wrong footed, same w nash and theyre gorgeoud

 

[atransta]

Kyrie is the lay up king, he makes the most difficult lay ups and gets to the rim quite frequently

Since this is a civil case and not criminal they need to release ol girl's identity so the skeletons can come out.

All this anonymous BS is getting to be a bit much.

Hell Yeah

Westbrook might end up with the Scoring Title, MVP and probably All Star MVP this year if he don't suffer any major injuries into the season. Dude is a savage.

Klay Thompson used 500 possessions coming off a screen. 17 ENTIRE NBA teams used fewer than 500 possessions coming off a screen.

Gonna be a nightmare trying to figure out how to send help D at Steph/Durant while accounting for this guy slipping open off the ball. And vice versa for when Steph doesn't have the ball.

Nightmare.

Rose going after the latin mamis huh.

Other than the bear logo on the shorts, I actually dig this better than their current joints. It's reminiscent of the Vancouver days.
