OFFICIAL 2021 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - YAWNIST WITH THE CLOSEOUT 50 PIECE - BUCKS WITH FIRST CHIP SINCE ‘73 - CP0 LOSES AGAIN

[nick.]

If you are losing because your 5th guy isn't playing well, you probably have larger problems.

Maybe the 2nd guy going down had something to do with it.

Even at full strength, Denver loses to this Suns team. They're too much on both ends.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Curry got 0 FMVPs

So, who's the GOAT then? Bill Russell?

 

[QU!K]

Can't get exposed if you can't lead your team to playoffs

Learned from Lebron

can't be 3-8 if you don't make the finals

 

[atlsfinest]

Kobe over Hakeem?

Kobe is 11-15 range

That area at the bottom of the top 10 is tough. Duncan, Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem are all on the same tier IMO

Hakeem is an all-time leader in blocks man. How is he not in the top 10?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

He was an upgrade over Gary Harris and RJ Hampton for this team that was trying to win now. They went on a huge win streak immediately after acquiring him.

Nowhere did I say they were acquiring some star. He's a role player. 5th guy.

If you are losing because your 5th guy isn't playing well, you probably have larger problems.

Role player, 5th guy on that deal with a extension coming.

Great upgrade.

So you're admitting that it's arguable kobe not top 10

Jordan
Kareem
Bron

So you DO understand those that wouldn't put Kobe in their Top 10?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Blame yourself for allowing these dudes to run wild on a regular basis in here.

You and the rest of the civilized folks.

 

[pmatic]

Kobe probably 8-12 all time. But if someone had him top 5, I'm not against it either.

 

[atlsfinest]

So you're admitting that it's arguable kobe not top 10

Yes. I've already stated that Kobe is in the back half of the top 10 with guys like Duncan, Hakeem, and Shaq but Kobe still in my top 10.

LeBron
Jordan
Magic
Bird
Kareem
Wilt
Russell

Those top seven guys are unquestionably top 10 players by any metric and I can't imagine a scenario in which those players aren't in the top 10. The tier beneath that, arguments can be made and tough decisions have to be made

In my eyes, you have four guys fighting over three spots: Shaq, Kobe, Hakeem and Duncan. One guy is the odd man out

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Y'all ranking Bron over Kobe?

Yea that person would need to be drug tested.

This is fair.

Which is why the, "BIrd > Kobe is stupid" comments were hilarious.

 

[QU!K]

Y'all ranking Bron over Kobe?

All day everyday

twice on sunday

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Content is over your head at this point man.

Just give it up.

The man that said rankings are pointless is talking the most about rankings.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Jordan
Kareem
Bron

But Bill Russell has the most Championships.

Jordan has 6 and Kareem has 2 Finals MVPs

Lebron has 4 FMVPs

Jordan has 5 MVPs as does Kareem, but Lebron has 3.

By your logic, 2 out of 3 players shouldn't be on considered GOAT.

 

[dacomeup]

Curry got 0 FMVPs

The logic that goes into these rankings just shifts by the second. Shouldn’t MVPs carry more weight than a FMVP?

 

[atlsfinest]

Yea that person would need to be drug tested.

You realize that there are a lot of NBA players who have Kobe in their top five, right?

 

[dacomeup]

Y'all ranking Bron over Kobe?

Yes. It’s not really close.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

The logic that goes into these rankings just shifts by the second. Shouldn’t MVPs carry more weight than a FMVP?

By their logic, Andre Iguadala and Cedric Maxwell are better than Steph Curry too

 

[atlsfinest]

YOUR top 10 is not THE TOP 10

There is no objective top 10 list. Everything we're arguing is based on opinions and different criteria.
