2021 NBA regular season thread

Says you

Well, yeah. But that’s a lot.

 

[msgkings322]

Well, yeah. But that’s a lot of bullshit.

Agreed.

 

[thunderc]

Agreed.

Ooh tricky

 

[Robotech]

If he can duplicate last night.....he'll up his trade value maybe.

I'd rather that he keep doing that and that they don't trade him.

Like others have said.....he doesn't fit that well in their offense.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Man, the Blazers balled out and beat the Sixers.....without Lilliard and McCollum.

Melo had a really good game as did Trent, Hood and Kanter.

 

[Robotech]

My eyes tell me I have a point, all I need. I’m impressed with what Lebron is doing this season no doubt though.

The longevity of LeBron's greatness gives him the edge. He never took a 2 year break from the sport and he looks like he can keep going for years. He has already played in 200 more regular season games and close to 100 more playoff games than Jordan. On top of that, he's the better passer and rebounder. He's arguably also the better shooter. LeBron can knock down 3's and he has a higher TS% than Jordan.

Fits well on any team's defense, though. Warriors rank 8th in defensive rating, and I think Oubre's D is a part of that.

I still have them as co-GOAT, it's not like it's scientific, and it's fine to value either as GOAT, but anyone who says MJ is way better is ridiculous

Yeah, they're the same tier now. Kareem is up there, too.

Sure there's really a top tier and making absolute comparisons between different supergreat players who played in different eras with different coaches and teammates and different positions is sort of impossible.

God level players would be in no particular order Kareem, MJ, LeBron, Magic, Wilt IMO

Kareem, Jordan, and LeBron in the top tier, and then maybe Wilt, Russell, Magic and Bird in the tier right below.

I agree....it's 1-A and 1-B.

Perfectly valid opinion but no more or less valid than mine

 

[Heatles84]

1 season in the NFC and Brady is already in the SB. Same amount as SB appearances (from the NFC) as Rodgers and Brees.....LOL.

Goes to show you how inept those franchises are.

I don’t think that is fair.

It shows how great Tom Brady is.

It is really difficult to get to a Super Bowl, let alone win it.

Brady has been 10 times now?

Insane.

Mahomes has a lot of work to do to catch up.

Passed Montana IMO.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Just like James will pass MJ one day.

 

[tlance]

The GOAT.

Passed Montana IMO.

I don’t even think there is a legit case to be made for anyone else at this point. Especially after doing it in another organization at age 43 and considering they weren’t even a playoff team last season.

I don't like cheaters. No matter what sport. I define Brady's legacy two ways.


1. his team has been caught twice illegally videotaping opponents

2. he refused to cooperate with an invetsigation. Instead he destroyed his cell phone and took a 4 game suspension. And that's not tha actions of someone that has nothing to hide.


This question can obviously never be answered but how many S.B. wins & trips would he really have if the Pats weren't outright cheaters?

I put Brady in the same category as MLBers like Bonds, Sosa & McGwire. They all knowingly cheated.
