The Official NBA Season Thread: Derrick Rose Retires 🌹

[wavycrocket]

That MVP means a lot but he might be less decorated than penny with less vibes and he’s not in the HOF

D Rose for sure universally loved tho. Not quite Penny, but D Rose universally just loved by players and fans.

That Teague video about the whole T Wolves team just randomly crying when rose dropped 50

Zion is still the best American prospect out the draft since Lebron in my eyes. Even with the injures and setbacks his numbers when he plays confirms those notions to me. This season he is going to put it all together

Oden and AD for me. KD should be up there too, but he was overlooked because Oden was seen as that generational of a prospect in his class.

D is definitely another case study in likeability DCAllAfrican

Yea AD's probably the closest to that 'best american prospect since' moniker

He was dominant in college, made the Olympic team as a teen and has more or less lived up to billing when he's actually been healthy.

Zion had the name recognition and highlights since HS but he didn't anchor an record winning national title squad like AD

Harden isn’t even better than Drexler or VC let alone a Top 2 SG

VC as in Vince Carter? HE is actually not a top 20 SG

Not even in the same realm as Harden.

Come on now.

Vince has 2 All-NBA nods and has won 4 playoff series as a starter.

His influence on basketball in Canada is cool, but he really wasn’t THAT type of dude. Probably should’ve been though. Had some incredible physical gifts.

What was the buzz around Will Bynum in the Chicago area?

Bynum was a lil before my time, he 5 years older than me so that was more so My older Brothers watchin em. But they definitely said Will the Thrill was must see tv and one of the best they seen out the city for their time period. Smaller dude, like 5ft 10 but could do it all.

Whoa, hold up? Backstory on KoC being racist? This is news to me. Also really surprises me because I also assumed he was...you know. Jermaine Dupri.gif

He's a Trumper, a Musker, and follows a ton of lunatic fringe right wingers. You can't do all three of those things and NOT be a racist I'm sorry.

 

[WASHED KING]

Trumper is enough to be considered a racist in my book.

 

[rolaholic]

It's coming just like how they get Screaming A giving his 2 cents about the NHL, MLB, the WNBA and other leagues he knows nothing about thinking thats what viewers want to see

Losing Woj and Lowe in the span of a week is crazy.

[MVP]

He was the best player on the floor last time we sat him. Against the lakers.

EYE still believe

He can't stay healthy, the next time he does will be the first time. Played the most games he ever has and wasn't even in consideration for All-NBA let alone, MVP.

Pels going to be play in bound again at best.

 

[ny mavurs]

Enjoy life after basketball Rose!

He always had the most filthiest dunks against Atlanta

They’ll likely be a play in team but he was 100% robbed of all nba. He plays 70 game again he’s not getting robbed.

Who is KoC?

ESPN used to be my spot for B Ball with True Hoop and Jalen and Jacoby.

1. Respect for the Teeth Malloy avatar. One of my favorite Bugs Bunny characters.

2. Have you ever watched the series, "Preps Chicago Hoops?" (The best basketball series of all-time)

Losing Woj and Lowe in the span of a week is crazy.

Even worse when you know they're not gonna replace them just like all the other insightful folks they laid off this past year. Most likely just gonna keep funding the talking heads already there.

I'd stay far away if I was Shams, I'm sure he can ink a lucrative deal with NBC/Amazon instead if he really wants
