THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[lawdog1]

Kawhi asking for a trade tonight

Some people theorized that Kawhi wanted out of San Antonio because he’s secretly MAGA and was sick of Pop’s Trump bashing...I’m not saying it’s true - I hope it’s not - but that theory is out there...

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Greece and Brazil in round 2. Spain will play Serbia in their second game

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Looks like more and more harden truthers are starting to wake up to how flawed his game is. I been tryna tell yall for years

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kawhi asking for a trade tonight

Kawhi came to LA to play golf and sell sneakers. He's not concerned with basketball or that franchise. He's semi retired

 

[wavycrocket]

Ahhh I thought that J. West thing was a repost but realized it was Cousy. Y’all think he gonna invite any of the retro black players? If so, which ones do you think would accept? The community would definitely turn on them

Calvin Murphy. Def Karl Malone

[ill steelo]

The Warriors scored 150 points in the final 5 quarters of the series, all without Durant & Steph was on the bench with fouls for 2 of them.

They’re focusing on the wrong end of the court.

 

[pmatic]

We need the NBA back more than ever after tonight.

Calvin Murphy. Def Karl Malone

Yeah. I looked up the people who have received Presidential Medals of Freedom from Trump. Tiger got one. If he took it, Karl Malone for sure would. Rodman too.

 

[storm2006]

Yeah. I looked up the people who have received Presidential Medals of Freedom from Trump. Tiger got one. If he took it, Karl Malone for sure would. Rodman too.

Karl Malone absolutely. Does MJ or is he going to say “Libs buy Jordan’s too” and not in an attempt to appear bipartisan?

Curry statue gonna be turnt

The disrespect This would never happen to #MyGOAT. Lebby got zero clout in the streets

Hahahahahahahahahaha he was tight lmaooooo. Bron not used to that

 

[friscostylez]

Can a 6'8, 250 lbs, all-world athletic freak really be an underdog & not posed to be in the L?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I see Aaron Brooks is going to the NBL and will be on LaMelo's team. Hate that his career ended the way it did. He was the MIP in his 3rd season and then this happened:



What a **** way to have your career altered. A charge attempt on a half court heave

Manu

Can a 6'8, 250 lbs, all-world athletic freak really be an underdog & not posed to be in the L?

Yeah. He could be Quintell Woods or something. That’s still “making it” tho. But Bron straight out the jects. That period from 12-16 growing up how he came up...he beat the odds, did right and put himself in position for a better future.

After that...he fronting a lil bit with the whole, “Nike taking a chance on him at 18” **** . That ain’t real. He chose NIKE .

That said. His story is one of the greatest we got. But it’s still **** Bron. And #NotMyGOAT. Top 5-8 player ever.

He ain’t THAT.

 

[freeze]

The real big Z

 

[VARNELL HILL]

He ain’t THAT.

He's not...and I honestly don't think it's his fault either.

That ***** wasn't lying when he said he was chasing a ghost. They're ALL chasing a ghost. I think Bron knows this and is finally comfortable with leaving his own legacy.
Mike was like a ******* nuclear bomb across the board. It can't happen twice. He has the cultural influence, the basketball mythos, and that impact pushed the sport to a level globally that can't get any higher. Even if someone comes along and tops the numbers...you cannot replicate everything else. This ***** not even my top 3 personal fav of all time...but rational thought cannot deny any of this.

Kobe and Lebron are both literally his sons...and these are the ****** whose stans will have been at odds for damn near an entire basketball generation soon. Think about this.

Due to the emergence of social media and rapid evolution of technology that if someone had the numbers and personality they could transcend him. It seems as if you’re using the logic that since MJ did it first, he can’t be dethroned. It would take a lot of things to go right but it could be said that’s what happened with MJ.

Kobe and Bron both had chances. They just fell short for a variety of reasons. The imaginary player in the future we are talking about would probably have to be a hybrid of the two to surpass MJ. There’s also a growing sentiment that if MJ played in the social media era that folks really wouldn’t **** with him.
