The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[Based Jesus]

Magic, Mike, Kareem, RJ Barrett

 

[addict4sneakers]

there were more transition opportunities in the 90s when you were sending 4 to the glass.

That bulls title against the lakers, MJ and pip had 2 on 1 opportunities like crazy. Talking about easy buckets

 

[MVP]

Magic and Bird saved the NBA
MJ elevated it to global significance
Bron ushered in player empowerment

Those are the 3 biggest impacts on the sport

Let Brook Lopez camp in the paint while embiid camps in the corner. Counteract the extra spacing from stretch bigs that aren't really a threat. If you're making the offense pass more then it's working

Embiid ain’t camping in the corner….ever. He gonna be at the top, pump on the catch and force the defense to collapse

Those are more monetary in nature than actual basketball on the floor though. But can't argue against it.

 

[spiderjericho]

Kareem, MJ, Kobe, and Magic

(But you could argue for Lebron to replace Kobe or Magic).

 

[JD617]

Bill Russell, Kareem, Jordan, LeBron

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Ok so let him camp on the perimeter. The data is showing that scoring is up in the paint. We'll live with embiid pump faking if it deters shots at the rim

Going to be interesting seeing which teams are sellers in a few weeks.

Raptors and Bulls should be at the top of the list.

 

[lawdog1]

I think my proposed package of Marcus Morris, Reggie Jackson and Jason Preston for Siakam qualifies as a “**** load”, but probably not in the way the Raptors want.

 

[pmatic]

Don't think Masai has ever really done a full scale rebuild, so that will be interesting. He came to Denver and Toronto with a baseline of talent to start and improve upon it.

Why would the Raps give up on 2 young players so fast?

[HIM]

Get rid of the 3pt line
Get rid of goaltending

 

[AIR J XIII]

For all of the cross-era scoring comparisons…

 

[amitt5504]

Get rid of the 3pt line
Get rid of goaltending

Get rid of defense

All NBA offense team

 

[HIM]

Get rid of defense

They already did

 

[WASHED KING]

1.Bron
2. Mj
3.Kareem
4. Magic
5. Shaq

All y'all making lists without Bron in your top 3 on some Skip Bayless timing. Steph kicked Kobe out of the top 10 too.

 

[lovehateself]

nba games should be played to 21
2s and 1s
at 21, top of the arch to win or go back to 15

 

[WASHED KING]

6. Duncan
7. Bill
8.Bird
9. Wilt
10. Steph
11. Kobe

Yani is 1 ring away from being top 10. ON NT.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Going to be interesting seeing which teams are sellers in a few weeks.

Raptors and Bulls should be at the top of the list.

I honestly think Jae Crowder, Dario Saric, Washington Jr., and a 2024 1st round pick are exactly the type of package the Raptors should be looking for

 

[HIM]

Mission accomplished. Game’s been boring since he entered the league.

Stern
yao ming and Chinese market

[Coupé It]

Eliminate defensive 3 second violations. It's time

They should.

But they never will.
