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

[JMB10215]

I hate watching the Celtics play. I'm not even a hater of the franchise like some dudes are, but the team and their style of basketball is by far the most boring to watch.

Its terrible basketball bro. Jaylen and Tatum just jack up shots while everybody else cleans up and they win my committee. They are gonna be in for a rude awakening come Finals. Just like the last finals. Some games they are depending on Derrick White to save em

 

[Coupé It]

Yea I’m not big on going one sport only from birth. That’s kind of crazy to me.

But by Middle School a decision should be made.

 

[JMB10215]

They were never close to Bron.

From 2011-2018 undisputed best player in the world by far.

I agree. From 89-98 nobody was better than Jordan. From 11 to 18 it was Bron. From 2021 till now its Joker

Tennis is also a good sport as well. Guys like Kyrios and Monfils spend a good amount of time playing hoops.

 

[WASHED KING]

I think if you can basketball you can play any sport. Basketball is the foundation.

Soccer or basketball.

The coordination, conditioning, and athleticism required to play both of those sports can translate to any. All those NFL players have their brains scrambled.

 

[WASHED KING]

I hate the one sport focus now, my parents had me playing a sport in each season until I was 8 and told them I didn't like baseball.

Still stuck with soccer and basketball, the spring was my time to relax after a fall soccer season that immediately transitioned into basketball. I think it's the main reason we see so many young players now with serious injuries at a young age.

There's direct correlation between early specialization & injury risk or burnout

Let kids be kids

That makes sense as a general rule, but some people are talented enough that they can continue to play multiple sports through high school and not have it adversely impact their chances of playing one sport or the other in college or the pros.

I can think of few NBA and NFLers who also got drafted in baseball.

I guess the slanted Swoosh on the medial side is kind of her sig.

 

[elpablo21]

Let’s uplift.

 

[JMB10215]

Nike basketball has fell off so hard. I like how they are tapping into the womens though. But id rather hoop in some AE lows or Hardens right now tbh

Nike took notice that everyone was making their NikeIDs purple so just made it a cw

 

[RustyShackleford]

Kinda wish the collar were cut differently, like the 1s, otherwise great shoe.

Of the new waves of Nike/JB sigs we know about so far I rank them as:

1. Book 2s
2. Sabrina 2s
3. Freak 6
4. KD 17
5. Bron 22
6. Luka 3
7. Jordan 39
8. Tatum 3s

TBD: Zion, Ja, Clark, A'ja, Shai.

Book 2's at number 1 is crazy.

Sabrina 2's look like another players sigs but I'm not going to say which one.

 

[elpablo21]

1. Book 2s

You're Air Randy?

 

[RustyShackleford]

You're Air Randy?

We don't need to see them to know they gonna be classics

Book 1s dominated the game, the 2s gonna take it up another level

Nets retiring Vince Carter's jersey for what

chill lmaoo thats vinsanity. He's getting his jersey in the rafters for the poster on Alonzo lol

 

[rolaholic]

Nets retiring Vince Carter's jersey for what

Didn't wanna say it but I thought this too , with Toronto his impact and influence is undeniable.

If they're retiring Vince's number might as well do Kidd and Richard Jefferson's while you're at it too

Nenad Krstic next?

Kidd is already in the rafters . They had to retire VC , He boardcasts for Yes NETWORK and he had alot of their records before KD and Kyrie joined the team. Jefferson and Brook Lopez deserve their due as well. The Nets are alot like the Mets when it comes to former players

Lol yeah before a kid hits their growth spurt is definitey when they should lock in on only one sport

 

[MajinZuub]

Vince was there for like 4 years
RJ getting his number retired is a stretch too.

Lopez is the franchise all time leading scorer, that makes sense.
