Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It takes into the value of a three point shot too

It's weighted more towards free throws, no? I thought efg% was more so about 3s.

It takes into a count free throws as well it is by no means a perfect stat. I also hate how Your TS can be more than one hundred in one game.

I just seen a David Wesley comparison for D'angelo Russell just now in the Laker thread

Sam Cassell/D-Lo comparisons anyone?

Post game is similar. Foot speed, p&r jumper and craftiness. That's where it probably stops though.

Sam had heart, and east Baltimore toughness.

Nothing but greatness in the Lakers thread. He wants to trade Jose Calderon for Nerlens Noel too. Another guy wanted to trade Yi Jianlian months into the season, completely oblivious to the fact that he was waived before the season even started. I love that thread.

Son wants people to take his knowledge serious after proposing the dumbest trades

NEW YORK (AP) — Ice Cube has dreamed about seeing his favorite NBA players come out of retirement.

Now, he’s going to make it happen. The rapper turned entertainment mogul is starting a 3-on-3 league for former professional basketball players.

And one of his favorites, Allen Iverson, has signed on as a player/coach in Big3. The two were at a news conference Wednesday to introduce the new league.

“As a fan I’m excited to see the guys I know who can still strap it up and play at a competitive, high level,” Ice Cube said. “I’m happy that I have the right people and partners to provide the stage for that.”

Ice Cube partnered with entertainment executive Jeff Kwatinetz to start the league for former professional players over the age of 30. It is expected to start play on June 24 with Chauncey Billups, Rashard Lewis and Kenyon Martin among the former NBA stars already committed to the league. Gary Payton and George Gervin will serve as two of the coaches in the league.

“We grew up watching these guys, some of them from high school, college through the pros. We see their ups and downs, win games and lose games, become part of our everyday life in a lot of ways,” Ice Cube said. “We look up one day and they’re gone, nowhere to be seen. It’s like losing a family friend or loved one or best friend. Someone you just really admire. I got my heroes, too.”

Count Iverson among them.

“Getting him to sign on was big,” Ice Cube said. “He still can play.”

Iverson, who was enshrined in the Naismith Hall of Fame last year, was excited to be part of the new league.

“When I got the call it was a no-brainer. It’s Ice Cube. You don’t turn that down,” Iverson said. “That’s success looking right into your eyes. I wanted to be a part of it.”

Asked who he would most love to have on his team, the former MVP had an easy answer.

“Shaq and Kobe, that’s a no-brainer,” Iverson said.

The league will play its eight-game season on Saturdays in the summer — so far without Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.

Each week’s contests will take place in a different city, with all eight teams playing. It will culminate in a two-week playoffs.

The players will share revenues with teams earning more money based on how they finish in the standings.

Teams will be comprised of five players and games will be played to 60 points. The league will also have a 4-point shot — a little deeper than the NBA 3-point line.

There will be a draft combine in March with a draft set to take place soon after. To be eligible to play in the league you have to have played professionally — in the NBA, D-League or overseas.

“I know a lot of my friends are going to hit me up on text to have me draft them,” Lewis said. “But it’s really a business, I have to act as a general manager as well and find the best four other guys for my team to do well.”

Kwatinetz said that they are looking into potential sponsorships and television deals, and the cities haven’t been set.

Ice Cube and Kwatinetz are hoping each weekend’s games will have the festive atmosphere of a Final Four or NBA All-Star Game, with other events that include kid clinics and halftime shows.

Ice Cube laughed when asked whether he’d be performing.

“I don’t know. Maybe if I’m feeling it. I don’t want this league to be about me. I’ll do everything I can to promote the league and get it rolling and then I want to fade to the back,” Ice Cube said. “Let these guys do what they do best. You know I might get down, you never know. I’m definitely not above it. I like to get down on stuff like this.”

Would Hassan have taken a max somewhere else if he knew of Bosh's health and that Wade wouldn't be there?

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Damn you got all that from one quote.

The operative word was "Always"

Whiteside has a history of this type of commentary

If we can coin "John Wallet" we damn sure can trademark "Hassan Da Hater"

It won't happen, but I wish we could have full detail on how the player and media votes break out.

 

[$tacy]

I mean embiid is funny sometimes and other times its corny *shrug* kids got alot of personality along with skill tho, Dwight probably the real hater, he everything he wanted to be.
