**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

The Steph slander got real quiet lately

 

[Lovetohate3000]

The 73 wins is a meaningless talking point.
A Lebron team won 66 games and couldn't get past Dwight howard or Paul pierce. Forget which year that is.
A dirk team won 67 games and didnt get past first round.

How many wins you get in the regular season is meaningless once playoffs start

Kawhi to the Clips a done deal regardless of the Raptors season. Congrats P C H HIM lawdog1

Hell nah it ain’t I seen this movie before I can’t even seriously entertain the idea yet lol

 

[jjs07]

I have some issues with this

JJ/Rashard Lewis should be Tier 3. Danny Green Tier 4. Kidd, Terry, KD Tier 4

Honestly, I'd probably have Steph/Nash as 1/1A....

I also would have loved to see what Kerr's #'s would look like if he too more shots.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

A lot to discuss here....this list is bunk.

Where does laundry Shamet fall on this list?

 

[buc em]

These dudes put JJ Redick in the same tier of shooters as Raja Bell, Ginobli, Danny Green, Jason Richardson and JR Smith.....

 

[lawdog1]

JJ/Rashard Lewis should be Tier 3. Danny Green Tier 4. Kidd, Terry, KD Tier 4

Agree. With Kidd, how do you put him in Tier 3 when he was only a consistent 3 point shooter for like 1/4 of his career.

No Mark Price. List is invalid

 

[dman14]

klay belongs up there with steph. steph is 1A because he gets it off the bounce

and why is jr, mike bibby, and few other folks even on there
no petrovic?

A lot to discuss here....this list is bunk.

The list is missing Embiid

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Kobe

Nash and Korver 3rd tier

 

[antidope]

Danny Green almost won a Finals MVP solely from shooting the three ball.... How quick we forget.

 

[buschfan04]

Jason Kidd on the same tier as Dirk in shooting 3’s?

 

[niceshoes247]

Lebron fans stuck in 2016. Your man can't even make the playoffs. He's proven he's a fraud.
Keep him in the off-season thread.
.

Word to kobe?

 

[MajinZuub]

That 3 point shooter graphic is god awful

F steph
And his thirsty wife

20 years from now:

Person A: "Man, those Warriors with Kevin Durant sure were great. That's when they had that all time greatest 73-9 record."
Person B: "No, Kevin Durant actually joined them the season after they went 73-9. They also beat Durant's team that playoffs."

73-9 will make everyone remember.

Here are a couple more laughing emoticons to solidify my argument:

Nah only nostalgic haters will care

It's nice that there are still things in this world that we can all agree upon.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Nah only nostalgic haters will care

Context gets lost in history. Always been the case. Does anyone remember why Jerry west lost so many finals. Not really and no one cares because it was so long ago all that the next Gen as time goes on remembers is what the record books say.
Does anyone care about Lebron joining Miami. Everyone was throwing hissy fits and saying he ruined competitive balance. His legacy was tarnished. Etc etc.
Anyone remember why Wilt lost so much. If you look into it I'm sure you can find out obviously but the fans don't care anymore.
All they remember is his stats and finals failures
The next Gen will look at Lebron sideways for losing 6 finals and don't give a ish bout context. Kds legacy will be fine.
That's the way of the world.


Anyways.

Bucks in 6.
Bucks ain't losing tonight

 

[osh kosh bosh]

The continued comparison of every white shooter in the draft to JJ Reddick shows me


that people don't really understand the level of pure dead eye, fear of god inducing, sharp sharp shooter that Reddick is.

dude is running full speed, falling out of bounds every play and still hitting at 40%

 

[atlsfinest]

A lot to discuss here....this list is bunk.

There's nothing to discuss. Idiots of Twitter and Facebook post graphics with information they know isn't true so they can have their followers argue about it. Those tiers are ridiculous

 

[numbah1grimey]

How DELL curry not on that list........

 

[numbah1grimey]

Or John Stockton or Hornicek, Eddie Jones. They. Just be doing whatever

 

[leavemeglazzies]

A lot to discuss here....this list is bunk.

A guy whose career high 3pt% season is .383 is tier 4 of all time 3 point shooters? Okay.

 

[vood99]

How DELL curry not on that list........

Was about to post the same! What about Michael Redd?
