rambis gets rock bottomed running down the court at full speed and gets right back up ready to throw hands

these days you get foolishness like this

 
Shaq disrespecting Chris Dudley, and him hurling the ball down at him is also top 5 about to die moments.
 
Lebron can still to get the paint at will though, like 48 percent of his shots are in the paint and he shoots 60 percent there, Lebron does other things besides just score.

Kobe cant get to the paint at will, so he will be regulated to shooting long 2s.

It was a dig attempt and you failed. Kobe got decent attempts in the paint, just finished at the worst rate of his career. Still pulled down 6 boards and dished 6 dimes a game. Bron grabbed two more boards a game and was atrocious defensively as well.

Kobe only got 29 percent of his shots in the paint, that is not decent at all and shooting 44 percent in the paint is bad for good NBA wing.

Manu Ginobili got 46 percent of his shots in the paint and shot 52 percent in the paint.

Even other older wings like Paul Pierce, Crawford and Terry who cant get to rim, shot better in the paint and outside the paint than 2015 Kobe did.

Lebron wasn't close to being as bad defensively as was Kobe in 2015....I believe Kobes on/off was the worst by far of any NBA all star.
 
Shaq never landed a punch on anyone he swung at :rollin

When he swung at Barkley and missed then Barkley took him down :{

But he's been hovering around 30-35% of his attempts in the paint the last 3 seasons he was healthy (2011, 2012, 2013) he just finished more of those attempts (50-60%) along worth being a lot better from midrange than he was this past season.

This ain't 2013 anymore.

He's not the same player, when are you going realize this?

Na he feinted lol

At some point didn't Smith, Melo and Nate all become teammates?
I was so mad at Melo for throwing that punch.

He was playing the best ball of his career, BY FAR. Averaging 32 a night on over 50% shooting, even threw 4 assists a night in there. DOMINANT.

Bron put a sizeable gap between them the year before when he averaged 31/7/7 at 21 years old :{ and pushed Detroit to 7.

Melo looked like he was ready close that gap. He was looking like the best scorer in basketball.

Then he threw the punch, then he got suspended, then they got Iverson & he never found that rhythm ever again. It took him 6 years & a change of scenery to find that rhythm again.

Very good detailed descriptions.

Melo was flat out DOMINATING at that point. Efficient as ever, not ball stopping or wasting dribbles. I was mad as **** he threw that punch. Cost him a lot of games, and made Baltimore look bad lol.

09 Playoff Melo was at that level though. And 09-10 Melo was great as well when he was averaging 29ppg and abusing LeBron.

That Cavs versus Nuggets game where Melo and Bron both dropped 40 in OT was one of the best duels I've seen.

Bron with 43pts 15ast 13rbs
Melo with 40pts 7ast 6rbs and the game winner :hat

2010 Nuggets were rollin before Georgr Karl got cancer. Beginning of the end. Smh
 
2014 Melo was the best version we've seen so far, elite 3pt shooting/post game/finisher especially small ball 4.

He definitely hit a stalling point until that season though.


Excited to see him healthy this year, I know he'll be motivated to prove the critics wrong.
 
Melo could've gotten the match-up of a lifetkme if he joined the Bulls last season.
Instead, rotting in the Knicks. No championship will be won there for a decade.
