2021-2022 NBA Season

I get his peak was a top 75 guy but you gotta have longevity imo. He didn't.

Agree. If I had a vote, I would vote against him. It would be difficult because I saw how great he actually was, but he just didn't have enough healthy years.

HOFer Ralph Sampson sayz hello.

Walton led the surprising Blazers to one helluva Finals upset in '77 and was MVP. In '78 he was league MVP. Hill & Hardaway never won anything.

Too bad the injury bug derailed his career. His first four years in the league he averaged 16.6 ppg, 13.4 rebs, 4.4 asts (which is incredible for a C), 2.5 blks & almost one stl. per game. In '77 he led the league reb's & blks.

I get all that. But he's in the top 75. He's not.

Dude, every team has gone out of their way to kiss his ass. Lebron was able to hold Cleveland over a barrel the 2nd time he was their and they had to accomodate all of his requests/demands. Westbrook is a bad fit overall wherever he goes. He's played with some exceptionally great players in Harden, KD, Paul George and it's just never worked. Lebron is another to add to the list.

Well atleast, the Lakers got a championship out of it and back into the playoffs. Props to Jeanie Buss though for not caving into Lebron's last demand though

Guess he got in because he fell under what could have been category.

Then Grant Hill definitely should be in because he had 6 years of elite play before his injury

Grant was incredible before the injuries. Liked watching him play.

I still don't understand how the Pistons doctors didn't know his ankle was broken immediately. Did we not even do an X Ray?

Sadly only those doctors can answer that question. But with some x-ray's the injury should have been obvious.

One more thought - I think any team that would want Lebron is nuts because clearly he would be a short term rental at a very high price and high risk injury -

Oh holy crap! The Logo playing today is a scary thought. He had crazy range.

And he was great defensively. He would be a star 2-way guard

And McGrady too, his peak wasn’t as long as Hill’s but his peak was ridiculous

Danny Green coming at Simmons on his podcast.
- says Simmons won’t play or even show up on March 10th.
- says that even if he did he won’t shake hands with Sixers before or after the game
- says that Curry and Drummond don’t like Simmons and they have beef with the dude

Eh

I would not like Green speaking on my behalf

On an earlier edition of the very same podcast he told Sixers fans to cut Simmons some slack haha.

Exactly. The immaturity of Embiid rubbing off on Green. Hate to see it

I disagree here. Ben Simmons fucked with the livelihood and goals of every person in that organization. I don’t blame Green one bit for speaking his mind. It’s just one more layer of “players have no respect for Ben Simmons the person”.
