2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[storm2006]

Clown a**** n_. You was riding foreign and had work, but ya commissary low? N_ backwards AF.

I tell y’all these n_ be BROKE

You projecting like hell.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Every book I read about wilt said dude only cared about his numbers. Even down to the exaggerated number of women he smashed.

Looter

Saying this about somebody with rings is crazy.

 

[finessence]

I was up last year when I wrote that

Tough times don’t last though! I’ll bounce back!

 

[DLF]

You got arguably the greatest player in the history of the NBA on the team you root for and you're not gonna watch? Sheesh.

Offseason moves ain't even done either.

This is some real doom and gloom stuff.

You ever seen Russ play?

2 rings. It’s the same criticism Shaq got but should be turned up higher. Cause he legit played against plumbers for real. His ppg dropped by 8 in the playoffs

If that was _____ you’d be cooking him. Especially if he wasn’t a laker.

 

[shotsrangout]

Edmond sumner is a huge signing for the nets

puts them over the top

 

[danikerhino]

For an era they never saw or players they dislike due to them being “old” some of these guys sure have definitive opinion about them as if they were there watching them play.

Dudes in here act like they would’ve made the league in 50s, 60s, and 70s….

Some of their grandfathers was getting that WORK. Go ask grandpa.

Same dudes in here talking about Wilt them played against plumbers and accountants…. New flash, in 1963, they’d be those plumbers and accountants themselves

Yeah for me it's simple. They dominated in their era which enough for me to proclaim them as great for a time period in NBA history. I would do the same for Willie Mays, Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, etc. All of them wouldn't be considered the most athletically gifted or skilled compared to modern athletes, but they ran their respective sports in their time, so I consider them all great.

KD need to go back to OKC

So does this mean you have paid MajinZuub back (with interest) and/or set up a payment plan? The streets want to know.

 

[wavycrocket]

it was 49 brotha
and the other title favorite was a 7th seed

The 2021-2022 Lakers did not even make the play in game. They were a lottery team. Worst than the Pelicans, without Zion. The Lakers were An 11 seed



That is remarkably bad for a team expected to win the title.

This just ain't true. He was losing every year in the finals to basically a HOF roster in Boston. When you look his ppg dropped the years he did win rings because he had better players.

Lets not do the "If" game cuz you love dudes that fail in the playoffs.

 

[wavycrocket]

MajinZuub has a good heart. He may set up a Klarna account to help out finessence

But on some real ****. These are tough times we live in…I understand not having it….but just SAY THAT. All the flexing and slick talk and hiding is what got you looking crazy.

You CANNOT be talking cash ****, morality, talking about honor/principles, BRAGGING/(lying) ABOUT WINNING OTHER BETS etc…saying you going to pay, then ducking somebody you owe.

finessence you gotta make that right. Or you forever a sucka. Flat out.

1. When you’re the best player on the floor, you win. MJ. Bron. Steph. Giannis

2. Steph, Giannis

 

[wavycrocket]

These are ill

We really gotta stop comparing Lebron to MJ

It’s subtle, but it shouldn’t be the norm. He’s not in that cnovo

 

[Maximus Meridius]

 

[wavycrocket]

Why would you love someone for calling you a B and flexing on you?

Because Steph & Klay are supposed to be soft because of how they look and play.

Whole time, they been the ones competing and actually going at dudes necks for real. While the rest of the league is TRULY “buddy buddy” ….AAU guys (including Draymond)

With the exception of guys like Giannis/Jokic etc.

 

[danikerhino]

1. When you’re the best player on the floor, you win. MJ. Bron. Steph. Giannis

2. Steph, Giannis

It's a team game. LeBron was the best on the floor in playoff series losses, early MJ was balling out but losing against the Pistons, Kobe before he got Gasol, Shaq and Kobe against the Pistons, etc. Wilt had to go against a stacked Celtics at the time, can't do everything on your own.

Hell, Giannis couldn't get passed the Celtics without Middleton even though he was the best player of that series.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

1. When you’re the best player on the floor, you win. MJ. Bron. Steph. Giannis

2. Steph, Giannis

You know Mike lost when he was the best player right?

Bron did also. Steph lost in 2016 when ya'll swore up and down he was better than Bron. Don't ya'll say Duncan is better than Kobe? Kobe whopped Duncan smack in his prime. Don't do the Skip Bayless argument.

 

[shotsrangout]

am I the only one who doesn't give a damn about yall bets and owing people money on a sneaker message board

so many avenues to bet money on and yall choose to bet with strangers that you can't put hands and feet on

Steph wasn’t the best player in 2016. We can acknowledge that. MJ lost. Bron lost as the best player. Those guys redeemed themselves multiple times over. Carried their teams to the mountain top

We going to talk about wilt averaging 12 in the finals? Elgin and Jerry sure could have used his help. Was he not the best player on the floor against the Knicks?
