2024 NBA Offseason

Kyrie comes closest, probably worse at dunks but better handles and creativity around the basket

My thinking too.

Not nearly as explosive as AI was.

But his skill set makes up for it.

Kyrie also a much better shooter and probably a more skilled finisher

I’m going to tilt the crazy factor to Irving, but it may not be much because a lot of it is calculated.

Home and starving, I have not eaten all day.

It depends on how high you rank longevity I guess. I would take the best version of Barkley over the best version of Malone easy.

Also I don't care for your list! I have now escalated the situation.

Your take on Karl Malone is very interesting.

I have never honestly given him any level of deep thought.

But you might be on to something.

Malone was a solid defender. He was really good at those little reach in blocks when the shooter was on the way up. And he was obviously a terrific rebounder.

But if we were to evaluate him the way we evaluate big men today?

I think you might be right.

Scorer. Solid defender.

Not an all around contributer like Duncan or KG.

Dude hates the curvature of the earth more than Iverson hates practice

Iverson definitely wins the volatility factor

I do have to give him credit for adding the 15 foot baseline jumper later in his career. That did add a lot to his game. That was automatic for him.

And equally unlikeable

I agree.

He was very skilled. Especially later on.

Basically all employers aren’t loyal

Shut this whiney chump up

He has a very one sided view of what loyal means. How about being loyal to the people paying the bills?

 

[mar1ey]

nice

Basically all employers aren’t loyal

Fans are though, for now
