We are like 8-2 with a healthy starting 5, against a brutal schedule.  Can't beat the ****** Magic without him 

 

@JumpmanFromDaBay  bout to throw a party or maybe a roast session cuz its so funny

Talk to me when you're sixty and your favorite player is dismissed because young people havent seen him play

These Avery Bradley threes go against everything your taught about milking the clock with a lead at the end of games.

True. But I guess they figure every time they get into a half-court offense late in the 4th it always ends up bad so **** it.

So the W/L record you posted up for Rondo's triple doubles indicates it's not resulting in wins lately because of the pieces around him? Or something else?

My guy John Wall also ended up with 15/14/8/3/3.

Point gawds.

Probably a bit of both to be honest.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Anybody remember when Avery Bradley was in high school, there was a dude named Abdul Gaddy who was like an exact replica of him?

In what way ? both went to the same HS and are friends but they played nothing alike

I can understand Young people putting Young people ahead of Legends, because they've never seen Legends.

What I  can't understand is, Young people putting Legends ahead of people playing now, and trying to make a Legit argument. Come on son, you don't even know if Oscar wore Converse or PFlyers.

Jordan is the only exception to this.

You can be 5yr old now, and say Jordan is the best ever, because that's almost a Given.

So basically you shouldn't acknowledge the past. Even if your statement is incorrect.

 

[equality]

Ok I must've confused them playing at the same HS as them playing the same way 

 

[MVP]

More asinine statements by nobody's friend... surprise, surprise. What makes MJ the exception?

 

[a-friend]

Im not saying don't acknowledge the past.

I'm just saying how can you HATE on CP3 who is still playing/balling/establishing greatness, by putting Oscar and Frazier in, and your early 20's

I'm just taking up for my man CP3 today, is all.

 

[Deleted member 37467]

Every metric known to man tells us CP3 is Top 5 all time.

I don't care about an eye test from Joe NT'er, or anyone for that matter.

This is like hockey fans who still think that fighting benefits their team, or people who think clutch is an actual thing.

We have endless data on all this stuff, yet somehow people think their eye test is the end all be all.

I don't get it.

Did you dudes have access to TV's back in the 60's?

I thought CP was the oldest NT'er but I guess not.

I'm actually arguing FOR your putting him in the top 5 dummy.

I can see why you did.

I can't see why Mamba can say he isn't.

 

[Deleted member 37467]

I wasn't saying that you weren't,

That's rude and now my feelings are hurt,

 

[8pm at msg]

For the record, if we are going based off of ability/skillset/whatever...I also agree with CP3 being top 5. Or maybe I should say, understand that line of thought.

 

[a-friend]

 My bad.

But yea, to ignore all the stats you posted on CP3 and put Old heads in (that youve never seen) and numbers don't back you, how can you argue for Oscar and Frazier.

Just saying. Just a thought.

The hate for CP is real, I guess

 

[offset pow clow]

Dudes act Like 90% of the players today arent better than the players from the 60's & 70s

Then bring up achievements to prove their case but tony parker isnt a top 5 pg ever based off his accomplishments we got double standards now when it comes to greatness

 

[Deleted member 37467]

All good, bruh.

I know you were probably a little out of it after reading Walt Fraizer > CP3, it's understandable.

Here, let's compare indv accomplishments quick:

View media item 1293582
View media item 1293583
Keep in mind CP3 hasn't even turned 30 yet.

Walt's vocab tho,

Evolution happens everywhere except the NBA. Didn't you know?

CP3 was All NBA 6x

CP# was All NBA defensive 6x

To me, outside of league MVP, is the hardest to do.

The dude, is THAT dude, like him or not.

You know they put rings on a pedestal

 

[Deleted member 37467]

He should've won MVP in 2008, but w/e.

He has a shot this year.

 

[mister friendly]

Every new is better

One Direction> The Beatles

Drake>Tupac or Biggie

Hunger Games> Star Wars

Kim Kardashian> Marilyn Monroe
