The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[thunderc]

Most nba players

Let’s not act like they saved a life while dying or something. I mean please.

 

[thunderc]

So Steph is finally fed up

 

[The Q]

He left you on 0?

I beat the guard

They took a huge lead with him talking shit to the guards shooting 3s

I told him stop being a scared little bitch and come play in my yard (the paint)

That’s how we came back and won


The giant dude….no one has an answer for a 6-10 dude when everyone else is at least 6 inches shorter than the guy lol

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yup and then take the secret to your grave

I don’t think nothing to do in Utah is a big secret though. Seems like it’s the prevailing opinion.

 

[dtgold88]

Skillset wise yea...can't imagine. Best player I personally played against was a guy named Keith Triplett. He was a 3 time all MAC kinda player for Toledo.

So to ramp up from that to Jimmy Butler or something would be crazy


What I was saying is in the sense most NBA players will play through stuff

Zion won't.

Point blank.

This isn't even a discussion.

Now you have me wondering who the best player I played with or against. For sure happened at OSU. Has to be Jim Jackson, though not like he went all out. One who did seem to go all out was Cris Carter. Guy could jump out of the gym at the time.

I was just right place at the right time when he and his friends came through the public courts in Sea Isle City, NJ. My team lost to his team. I was hanging around watching and one of their guys left so they picked me up for like their 5th game in a row. They’re just fucking around and he points “up” to me on a run out and I got so excited to throw him an oop that I threw the lob like he was 8’6’’ tall haha. We all couldn’t stop laughing bwahaha!

The wnba players in ct would routine get run out of the gym by the casino employees they used as practice players…

Yep

That was the crux of it

They were basic as hell.

Honestly dudes wouldn’t be doing their job if they weren’t

That was the entire point

Geno has been using male practice players since at least the 90s

 

[The Q]

I guess even longer since Pat summit was doing it in the 70s

Throwing a lob to nba player?

I would’ve been so excited I probably would’ve thrown the ball over the damn backboard

 

[DJ]

Getting hungry.

Well

That obviously worked

I mean if there was one negative it was definitely Blatt. They lost 2 games in the playoffs prior to the Finals and most of that was without Love. They were an average defensive team and 3rd offensively. I would think Love taking some minutes from Mozgov and TT as well as Kyrie taking some minutes from Shump and Delly would have helped them. They had so many stretches where they couldn't buy a bucket but most importantly their outside shooting was non-existent. Lebron taking them to six games was sorcery.

In many ways LeBron's greatness is as much about the finals he lost as the ones he won. Like that first one with the Cavs...him getting that bag of garbage to the finals is crazy, and not sure MJ would have managed it.

If he really said that my already healthy respect for Butler just skyrocketed higher
