For wings like Tatum\Kawhi\Kobe, it's very difficult to be a 2 way dominant player because they are using up so much energy offensively. They just don't sit on their ass all day like post up big men Shaq\Duncan.

Guys still are never going to go at these guys and that's all that matters.

I'm taking a wing\guard offensive ceiling over a big man because offense wins championships. Big men are overrated, giannis is the only center to win a finals mvp in the last 20 years and his team won the ECF without him. Duncan won it in 2005 but he didn't deserve it, they clearly robbed Manu.

Let's see if you have the capacity to understand this: got a good test of your 'it's all about the star' philosophy.

Steph Curry is having one of the best years of his career so far, 31/7/7 on 48.7/41.4/94.4 shooting %s. And yet the Warriors are playing terrible and losing games because they forgot to play defense and the bench is a mess.

Players don't win, teams do. Maybe once in a while your star goes nuts and wins a game or two by themselves. But to say 'Kawhi won a ring beating LeBron' or 'KD didn't win anything it was all Steph' is just retarded. Are you ready to see this or still too young?

So do I.

But, posting out right lies * almost typed alt- right * will usually garner a response.

True, I get it.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Can't and won't watch it.

Scott Bakula and Dean whatshisname did a stellar job in the original.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Hell yeah. Spurs are getting CLIPPED

F*ck the spurs

Wife goes to oncologist Monday. Praying for best

He's talking about the aggregated quote of LeBron saying when he was younger he wanted fuck all to do with white folks.

LeBron did say this.

The problem is, he chooses to ignore the 2 nd part of the quote because it doesn't fit his narrative.

Here is the full statement so you can judge for yourself.



"I went to an all-white Catholic high school. So, when I first went to the ninth grade in high school, I was also like, I'm not ****ing with white people. I was so institutionalized growing up in the hood, it was like, 'they don't ***k with us, they don't want us to succeed,"

"I'm going to this school to play ball and that's it. I don't want nothing to do with white people. I don't believe that they want anything to do with me. It's me and my boys, we going to high school together, we're here to hoop,"

"Sport and basketball, it's the most unifying thing. By the end of the year, all of us were best friends. Our black friends from the hood was coming (to play), his white friends ... and we were just all having a ****ing great time,"

The 2nd part ties it all together and makes a whole lot of sense.

There's a lot of truth in both parts of that statement. Some folks still won't get it though.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Ty lue always seems to figure it out. I need to stop doubting him. Best coach in the league.

First 5 games you were shitting on our bench @WiggyRuss.....doesn't look so bad now. LOL.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Wow nets playing a lot better without Adolf Irving.

If this continues and I were nets, i would just tell him to not come back. His contract is up after this year anyway.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Don’t look now but Porzingus quietly looking like he might be able to play a little basketball.

@tlance should be happy......Beal and Porzy could be the best 1-2 punch Beal has been part of.

Could be.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The fallout is epic.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

No Moses, 4 bench players out there with zubac. Damn you lue, just when I was sticking up for you. They doubled our points with that shit.

DJ- there is not one person that watches basketball who can rationally say the Lakers bench does not suck.

Please say the Lakers bench does not suck. Please put it in black and white.

Heat need to eat the money and send Duncan to the unemployment line.

Unleash Cain!

They scored 37 points in their last game vs the Pels and 41 vs the Nuggets.
