The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly Book does that's exclusively for Mexicans

He dresses like Snoop and YG half the time

"I no black, it not the same papi", "No nunca negro"

Shaq didn’t win it with Penny or Eddie Jones. So this idea that you could’ve just put anyone in that role and the results would’ve been the same is ridiculous.

And this is coming from someone who was never a fan of Bean.

The original Mexicans were black but yall not ready for this discussion

So Booker is basically black not mixed

Shaq left the lakers and won a championship with Wade exactly two years later lol.

It wasn't anyone, but we have enough evidence that Shaq made perimiter players lives a lot easier. Wade/Penny/Kobe etc.

We see the same now with Jokic. Does anyone think Jamal Murray is on Kobe's level or Jamal Murray couldn't be switched out for a handful of other guards in the league? Murray and Jokic have amazing chemistry but pretty sure he could be swapped for pretty much any Booker/Tatum/Brunson/Fox level guy and the Nuggets would still be rolling to a second championship as they are now.

Perimeter players are the prom kings and get the love. But the real championships are won in the trenches.

Devin Booker is Latino with Mexican heritage

And you upset he is "cosplaying" a Mexican.

You have any idea how asinine that sounds?

I think dude up there just doesn’t like Mexicans.

This is the sleight of hand Kobe fans do...He only went to 3 straight finals once he got a superb supporting cast. He didn't make it out of the first round in fact until Pau came along.

That version of the Lakers was a team that had three seven footers in it and had elite guys despite how people downplay the talent of those teams.

And props to Kobe. He's a top 20 player of all-time. But I was there. Teams wing rings, and Kobe was fortunate to be drafted to the greatest franchise in the league in a city that everyone is desperate to live. He was no. 2 to Shaq and the difference between him and Pau for those second rings is far less than the distance between him and Shaq on those first two.

In fact, Kobe stole Pau's final MVP in 2010. Kobe was shooting Jalen Green numbers from the field while Pau was outplaying KG on both ends.

Most teams who win a ring have superb rosters

That’s about the only thing worth responding to

 

[oh you mad]

Can't we all just get along?

Whatchall saying now? Your goat said this

influence =/= greatness.

Easier to replicate Steph than it is Bron. Way easier to learn how to shoot than it is to be 6'9 and move like Bron. We will see another Steph before we see another Bron.

Love Mexicans ,just know a forced/non-genuine image when I see it.

This is just silly petty hating

Go clean yourself up before the games start

 

[lawdog1]

The discourse in here over the past couple days has been quite spirited.

 

[WASHED KING]

Imma just warn yall now...My warning points have expired so when one of y'all tell me to clean myself up I'm going LOW.

 

[ill steelo]

Kobe would’ve been all over this lane. RIP

Quality, quality content

Tatum has too much high variance games. He settles for too many jump shots and 3’s. Isn’t an elite or even a great level playmaker to make up for it .

Thats what’s stopping him from getting into that top 5 tier

He should think about the post & train in the offseason with that in mind, which would require less Drew Hanlen

But Brad Stevens just keeps adding good players to the team so it may not matter. We’ll see

Looks like sleep schedules got messed up with the podcasts.
