Dr J helped paved the way for these guys and deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Dude is a good soul , can’t see him ever sayin something to hurt the game in any way... some how something being takin outta context...

Benefit of the doubt of what though? He has a clear double standard for himself. I mean you want to leave Lebron off your list, that's fine, just don't give a nonsense reasoning.

He's certainly entitled to having a dumb opinion.

I have no issues with older generation players leaving more modern players off their top 10 lists for older players because those were the guys they grew up watching and idolizing. Like most people would not pick Elgin Baylor over Lebron, but considering Dr. J grew up idolizing him that's perfectly understandable. But don't justify it saying Lebron created superteams and other nonsense.

Damn. Marcus Smart suspended one game for threatening language to a ref.

He always did have a temper, though. aiming at a red probably wasn't too bright...

Yeah players should know not to get too mouthy with refs. It's been a frustrating/disappointing season for the Celtics. But that's not the way to go about things. Depending on what he said lucky it's only one game. Can't loose you cool like that.

Instead of GM's making moves players are effectively

So what? Players probably aren't any worse at it.

That seems to be what the issue is re: superteams. Players actively getting together and planning to play together.

The funny thing about superteams is that people who are critical of them, tend not to be when their team has one.

Agreed. I'm the one that started this conversation about Dr J having a dumb opinion

lol

except a 2 time Defensive Player of the Year, All- Star, All -NBA player.

Jazz dont get out of the 1st round this year without Mitchell. He's NOTHING without Donovan

Fanaticism, partisanship, and hypocrisy are pretty much synonymous

Welp, I think I can agree now that the Warriors are kinda shitty

Looks like they’re kind of running out of gas. Not an ideal time to happen.

I mean, it's academic anyway. Let's say they win a play in game or two. They ain't getting out of the first round. But it would have been nice to see them play at least a little better this year.

Once my favorite player in the whole league (Klay) went down AGAIN, I was already broken on this season LOL

 

[msgkings322]

Ws laying down trying to help the Twolves finish better than 3rd worst record LOL

Man, that is next level right there.

except a 2 time DPOY in addition to all star and all nba player. lol

kinda doubt Donovan has helped him win multiple Defensive Player of the Year Awards lol.

I guess Kevin Porter Jr has being the next Brandon Jennings to look forward to.

hurts to a certain extent as a Cavs fan - but I have full faith that this guy will mess it up off the court.

there is a reason why he fell out of the lottery and was the 30th pick with obvious lotto talent.
