THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[Vincent Van Goat]

And somehow that’s still better than Conley

He better turn it around or it might go down as one of the worst moves in recent memory

Jazz gave up Jae crowder, Korver, Grayson Allen and the 23rd pick

Conley has this season and next season guaranteed only

If it doesn’t pan out it’ll be bad but nobody is signing in Utah, so the money isn’t that crippling. If Grayson Allen and Darius Bazley turn out to be stars then sure, I guess

Kawhi does play a lot like post-baseball diminished athleticism Jordan.

 

[HIM]

Y’all thought I was calling him Kawhichael just to be calling him that? Nice to see people catching ip

 

[finessence]

They hating on the GAWDDDDDD. Best 2-way player since Jordan. And, he’s much bigger than both Jordan and Kobe. Probably an inch taller, and 20lbs heavier than them!

I’ve been pounding on the table for them to do that for a while but NT says that adding Love would make the Blazers the worst defensive team of all time.

 

[pmatic]

I swear after David Thorpe hopped on the Lowe Post podcast last spring and said Kawhi was like MJ, all of basketball hopped on the idea.

You willing to wager?

Somehow I don't think people pay attention to David Thorpe like that

 

[friscostylez]

Is kawhi now better than Kobe at his peak?

 

[ballinsam23]

It didnt take a genius to make the MJ comparison. The defense, the way they both operate in the mid-range, the clutch factor is identical.

Media is late to the party like usual.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Is kawhi now better than Kobe at his peak?

I could go with this

 

[ballinsam23]

Is kawhi now better than Kobe at his peak?

Na. Kobes accolades are still better.

I still cant believe I let the NT nerds convince me Harden was better than Kobe.

 

[P C H]

I love this thread

 

[freeze]

Has harden tried his new shot in a game this year??

Yeah. He missed lol

 

[pmatic]

You could argue there are probably at least 10-12 players that can match Kobe's peak, but there are probably only 5-6 that can match Kobe's accolades/longevity.

football was his first love.......

he definitely plays with that physicality too!!!!

 

[smedroc]

KD must be sick reading all this Kawhi ish in his absence

Dude put in 10 years of work to takeover the mantle of best player in the world and Kawhi stole it with 2 seasons of elite play and some good fortune.

Did it to himself by signing with the Warriors. People were already jumping Giannis ahead of him last season...

The funny thing is after Durant got done cooking the Clippers, I thought there was momentum as him being the undisputed #1 player in the league. Then he gets hobbled the next round, Giannis has some discussion in round two. And then Kawhi takes it over from the conference finals to the present.
