2017 NBA FINALS THREAD. PART III

[junglejim]

I really can't stand the average sports fan.

To look at someone with a decorated career like Melo and refer to it as "sad" is incredible to me. 1% of everyone who aspires to play pro ball makes it to the NBA. Less than 1% of that 1% go on to become stars.

His career is sad because he didn't have the career Lebron had? The same guy that's arguably a top 5 all time player? Incredible.

And you wonder why stars "take the easy way out to a championship".

I was about to say this.  I'm the first to get pissed off about players *****ing out and joining these super teams, but with the way people's careers are measured in the media im having a harder and harder time blaming them.

Lebron is still a ***** tho

 

[Olympus]

I'm not placing rings in the conversation when it comes to all-time player rankings.

A championship is a TEAM accomplishment, not an individual one.

if javale managers to stay on the dubs, he can potentially get more rings than shaq. weebey

 

[darthfett]

Anyone notice how Mike brown stood up to draymond when he got his second tech ???

He started pointing at him and poking his chest like you know better ... Kerr a goon acting like he didn't know that draymond was out ...

 

[DadNboujee]

By the time he is able to go there, Lebron would be 34, CP 34, melo 35.  That team would get waxed.

Everybody gets waxed eventually.

Why would he want to get waxed in Cleveland with a team of people he hates, might as well make the move to LA. He can assemble another team. He's always said he wanted to play with his banana boat friends. Chris Paul and Melos contracts all line up now.


After you've already won pretty much everything,

Build your brand be in Hollywood and play with your friends and get waxed > staying in Cleveland With a bunch of scrubs.

Atleast in the end he can say he made the move to play in the west.

Not to get too off base, but theres a certain way a black coach can talk to you that a white coach can't. They can say the same stuff, but in a different language

defense aside, strictly playmaking, who would you guys rather have, Dramond, or Lamar Odom?

LO playmayking wise.

Put in Defense......Dray

 

[Proposition Joe]

Lamar Odom was a better basketball player than draymond

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Odom. Dray is a system playmaker

 

[Based Jesus]

 

To think lebron and melo had parallel careers. (Other than lebron came outa hs and melo Syracuse). What a sad career melo has had. He hasn't won nothing. Only olympics.



Knowing how people vote anybody for hof these days they will say melo in a first ballot hof smh.

Yeah what a sad career. Who cares about being a 3x Olympic gold medalist, a 10x all star, and a 6x all NBA player and an NCAA champion. What a sorry career

Only like 5 people have an olympic gold medal, NCAA championship and NBA ring.

Shame on Melo for not joining the list 

 How hard is it to win a ring anyways?

BJ Armstrong has one. BJ Armstrong didn't waste his career like Melo did

How is melo not a first ballot?

 

[friscostylez]

I said this a few times on here but draymond is what Lamar should have become.

 

[D StaXX]

Odom. Dray is a system playmaker

bruh said, 'He hasn't won anything, only OLYMPICS'






the olympics just aint **** huh? thats a drew league trophy huh? don't nobody care huh? you left the stickers on ya fitted to type that didnt you?

 

[cassanova brown]

Give me Draymond. While Odom had more potential and talent, Draymond is actually the better player. Odom was never an all star, never came close to be considered for all NBA.

wth y'all talking about Odom was a system player as well.. look at where he thrived .. he was pretty average until he came to the Lakers

 

[NickFolarin]

Melo was chaperoning last Olympics though.....

 

[darthfett]

Draymond >> Odom

Playmaking goes to Odom but it's photo finish

Defense and leadership draymond blows him out of the atmosphere and to the next dimension where he was after the ranch

 

[hardens beard]
