2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

I think the idea was who is the best wing who's a #2 not a #1

LeBron is the best #1 SF ever. Pippen is probably the best #2 SF ever. Pippen > PG

Wing isn't just SF though.

Jimmy 17 and Bam top 25

I approve

I approve

Bam has had like two different seasons. Is he playing hurt? Hasn't been the same guy he was to start the season. I was excited to see his new bag after you were praising him. Two games with the Sixers and he still seems to be same same as the guy I saw last year.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Scottie Pippen laughs at you

Yeah.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yes, and it’s laughable to even discuss

Pretty much.

 

[thunderc]

Pretty much.

I mean he seriously may not be top 10

Yeah he's been bad since the all star break except for the hawks game. Had some good moments last night late 3rd/all of the 4th.

Some writers in Miami thinking he may have hit a wall since he's been available basically all season compared to last year when he missed 7 weeks.I think he was due for a slump and he basically didn't have any for the first 55ish games of the year

Who's the best wing that would be considered a 'Robin' ever in your opinion?

His claim wasn't about being a #2, it was about being a 2-way player.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Umm Giannis is #1...that is hard to argue with imo but the list overall is weird

Yeah I guess that's what PG means. If he isn't the best wing on your own team in this era, how are you the best #1 wing of all-time. He has to be talking about a number 2 option ranking, maybe number 3 lol

Mass holes

I think we're missing each other. Yes PG tweeted he's the best 2 way SF ever forgetting LeBron.

But then someone said maybe he meant the best #2/sidekick/Robin 2 way wing ever...which got me wondering if there's anyone better than Pippen in that category

Oh I think he meant best SF ever full stop, but it got me thinking about evaluating the best 'Robin'/sidekick wings.

Because Jimmy would be a dawg and challenge him and Jimmy has ZERO bedside manner and pulls no punches. Not everybody can play with Jimmy because of that. That’s why Jimmy is gonna demand a trade to Philly because Embiid is that one guy that sat at the knee and took to heart every bit of criticism and he knew how to take it. When Buckets comes back to Philly will you be a Sixers fan? (That pic is for Mitchell not for you ha)

That's an awfully specific subset.

 

[tlance]

Many will disagree with me. He’s a kid. He knows he’s fucked up and he’s seeking help. For me, that’s the opposite of a dumbass. He’s taking ownership of his bull shit and trying to get it fixed. If he just took a two game team suspension and then just went back to same old same old I would tend to agree.

Yep.

Assuming things aren’t a lot worse than what we already know…

Let’s see how he comes back from this and how much he changes his behavior.

If he doesn’t?

Then he is a dumbass.

 

[msgkings322]

Got an answer for me though? It wouldn't be #1s like LeBron or Kawhi or Dr. J...us NBA nerds should be able to come up with some: Pippen, PG, Lamar Odom, James Worthy...
