2019-2020 Official Regular Season Thread

Don't not get me started on this. That 06 MVP that Nash has should rightfully be turned over to Kobe Bryant. He scored 81 pts in one game. Was scoring like 40 pts every night (not accurate. The real average is probably like 35 or 38 but whatever, you get the point) and took a trash ass Lakers roster to the playoffs. Lamar Odom was like the only starter level player. Every other guy was a bench guy or complete scrub. You flip their roles and there's no way Nash is making the playoffs with that Lakers roster whereas Kobe could absolutely make a Finals with Amare Stoudamire and Shawn Marion, which the Suns never did even with Nash.

Curry probably stole his first MVP from LeBron too. But not the second one, that was legit.

I agree he couldn't play defense but he was an absolute stud on the offensive and one of the best passers of all-time very fun to watch as well

Sure.

But, he is overrated because he gets compared to players like these:

Isaiah Thomas
Steph Curry
John Stockton
Chris Paul

etc.

Those guys are truly all time great PGs. 3 of the 4 were very good defenders and Curry can hold his own. Steve Nash was not as good as these players because of the defensive end of the court.

Nash with a career defense box score plus minus of -1.3 does look pretty ugly. Curry at least has a positive number. Curry's number is actually higher than Isiah, but lower than Stockton and Paul.

David Robinson number 1 all time in Defensive Box Plus Minus, but look at Nate McMillan all the way up at number 2.

dude just don't seem to et it...

Don't know which is worst as a result of this pandemic? The 22+ million people that have to file for unemployment? Or the fact that Draymond continues to stay stupid shit like this?

 

[Heatles84]

Why do you ladies say that stuff then? Just say "yes get me something nice"

Aren't you married?

His defense doesn't make up for his terrible shooting and poor attitude.

Especially the past two seasons (including this one).

Man season 2 and 3 is amazing tv.

Indeed, it's why I want some answers!

See, everyone gives grief to the outspoken players who aren't afraid to talk shit. But then we all complain about how boring players are when they just say all the right things and cliches. Draymond is pretty much the modern day Charles Barkley in terms of his personality, but everyone loves Chuck.

I hate Chuck, actually, but Draymond makes Chuck look classy and intelligent. But even worse is that Draymond is showing himself to be a terrible teammate. It seems like he has a toxic personality.

Barkley got thrown out of plenty of games, talked shit about everyone, threw someone through a window, made a commercial where he famously declared he was not a role model, and so much more. Not saying that excuses Draymond's bullshit but I bet in 20 years he'll been seen as cuddly Uncle Chuck is now

Maybe if he got really, really fat.

Odds are pretty good he will

Point being, Barkley had pretty much the same rep in his day. Draymond is nothing new.
