Were you looking at anyone in particular?
He is
Looking like Vegas and Dallas heading to OT
Man is Miami seriously about to become the first team to ever choke a 3-0 in NBA history?
Like what the hell happened? Boston looked like trash the first 3 games and these past 2 has flipped the switch
Not ruling out a game 6 win for Miami, but probably yes
I think it ends 4-2
FUCKING HELL
JOE PAVELSKI KEEPS THE STARS ALIVE
Carolina:
Hahhahaha only nhl team to get swept
Celtics making everyone sad right now
Yea we need heat to win
Just saw Aaron Boone got ejected from a game again 
How many does that make that this year?
Not sure but he has the most in the league since he became their manager
Idk if I’m sad
Cuz heat getting a bit too big for their britches
Got to get knocked down a few pegs
I’m pro-Heat over Celtics tbh
Philly gets it because of their fans. Not all of them sure
But most Philly sports fans Ive met. Whew.
Not Rob here, but
Man.
Tbh there's not really anyone here who makes me hate their sports teams, we got good dudes
Philly Boston la
Y'all see this yet? https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/05/25/davante-adams-things-get-taken-out-of-context-i-love-everybody-here/
Recent comments from Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams about the team’s direction created questions about his relationship with head coach Josh McDaniels and General Manager Dave Ziegler, but Adams said Thursday that there’s no issues.Adams said in an interview that he and the front office “don’t see eye-to-eye on what we think is best for [mo...

Tomorrow: davante adams asks for a trade
Not really sure what he feels was taken out of context, pretty sure he said what he was feeling pretty clearly
I still think he asks out
No faith in that team at all
He and Hopkins probably moving
Honestly I’m beginning to think DHop ain’t moving, doesn’t sound like Ari’s GM is interested in moving him either rn
Maybe something changes during the season but not rn
Oh come on that just wouldn't be fair
They don’t have the money at all lol. No way they could handle that contract past next season
It’s probably suggested in jest
I figured as much but ima still say it. Bengals ain’t got bread and they know it
They still have the talent and should be one of the favorites in the AFC.
Burrow and those skill position weapons help
I'm seriously scared the Celtics might actually come back 
Well I didn’t say anything about them not having the talent lol
I know they’re contenders for sure
Cool cool
Whoaaa
Late to the show lol
But fuck Toney, I don’t have any sympathy here
Hope he gets help and gets better. we’ll see his ass in 8 months, I’m sure that first game back will be against WH because of course it will be
Issues I have is how much betting is advertised in the first place
And how we’d never see this sort of ban for something like racism
The lack of punishment for racism I won’t disagree against
And yeah, the betting ads are ridiculous. I say it here all the time, no consumer gets picked on harder than the sports fan
The betting ads, the fast food ads, the ticket prices, the parking, the concessions, the kits, the new tv / streaming services that pop up every other year that you have to buy. They got us
Pro athlete Ivan Toney betting for and against his team.. nah, that’s human free will, that his own personal desire, imo
The nuggets chilling and having massages while the heat and the celtics killing themselves over pointless games
For sure but I think you can say the same for players too
Toney is obviously wrong for what he’s done but when he’s constantly surrounded by it I’m not surprised that he’s indulged in it
The league is literally called the sky bet championship 
He has a gambling addiction whats most likely due to being exposed to it from such a young age
Ja Morant story is rich to rags one
One of a kind
Imagine trynna be something you not cause you think it’s cool
He’s a clown
Word, It is predatory as fuck. It’s pretty much finally seeped in to this side of the ocean too so you’ll likely be hearing similar stories in the future. If more athletes across sport keep engaging it’ll be really interesting to see they ease up on punishments. there’s no way the triumvirate will stop the trade flow now
Keith Tkachuk, 90s
Fuck sports promoting gambling
Awful
At least alcohol has existed for a long time
Heck even cigarettes and stuff like that
like always been kids trying to drink alcohol and smoke
Tbf it's kinda hypocritical how so many leagues and teams promote gambling yet they go so hard on a player with a gambling problem
And then a player gets a gambling addiction and their solution is ban him from the sport, you shouldn’t be promoting addictions like they do.imagine having gambling problems and just wanting to watch your sport but you can’t because it says bet something on every shirt and the walls and during breaks
yes
And apparently he never played in any of the games he bet on his team to lose
It's so fucking hypocritical especially when the second tier of english football is called sky BET championship
It’s hypocritical how politicians make a living off knowing the ins and outs of the trade market yet here we are
Charles Barkley should be banned from attending another hockey game:
Too funny lol
I love how Florida made it all the way to the finals without anyone mentioning ‘Sergei Boobtitsky’ even once
Chuck vs San Antonio women will go down as one of the biggest and longest battles in history
Fully agreed
So dumb that they add it
Yeah even been watching a bit of chess only to find gambling ads there also
And crypto
Wow let’s condition children to burn money on crypto and gambling
That’s going to go well
Having a betting company being the main sponsor of a league is so unethical
More chances to have match fixing as well
Not just that so many companies run gambling ads
And promote it during their brodcasts
Not even just other companies but their own gambling sites
There was a broadcast the other day where instead of doing pre match talk they brought in a master gambler
The guy was explaining how to choose which odds to bet on
Like wtf get him Off, I want to know what Carolina is cooking
Yea they do videos also on what bets are best to place
Like fuck off man i want to hear sports not gambling
Bro what lmao
Lame afffffffff
I believe there will be elections later this year for la liga presidency, hope tebas is finally gone
and yeah it's the only major league from the top 5 leagues to not have goal technology
they USED to have it but la liga is cheap and didn't want to keep paying for it and decided to use VAR review for goal line situations
clubs like Barcelona, Madrid & Atleti have it tho for UCL Games, it's just not used for La Liga as it's not necessary
VAR isn’t good for stuff like that
yeah
Tbh wish they had sensors in the nhl also
you can't get a good enough view for those situations
Rather than just putting a camera in the net
Yep if its at an angle that can’t really be captured then its hard af
which is dumb, I just wish they had goal line technology but apparently it's to expensive for the smaller clubs to pay for? either that or La Liga is cheap
Unfortunately part of being an NHL fan is realising it's like the least popular major league sport in the US
Plus you’d have to manually figure out if the whistle blew or not before it went over
Which means there's a lack of funding in comparison
honestly la liga has a 3.5B revenue, they should be able to pay for the expenses here, these guys are just cheap asses
Yeh but goaline sensors is a must
Plus nhl still makes billions a year
They made 5.4 bill last season
You're not wrong but
Totally could add sensors
That'll be their excuse lol. The other one is the NHLs fanbase is like
THE "keep things the way they are"
Fanbase
would sensors even work in the NHL, doesn't the goal post move sometimes
Oh booo hooo we have over 2.5 bill to improve the game but we don’t
There is a goal line on the ice
If the puck completely crosses then its a goal
true
They can check if the net moved too much or goalie interference later
i think they could figure it out if they wanted to
Yeah for sure
Is there something similar to var in the NHL for offsides?
ye p sure they all review footage
There isn’t var i think but there are video review booths
Oh wait that is var lmao
Yeah they do
yeah lol
Kamloops playing Quebec tonight
Thank you lol
Still a fanbase issue though. Imagine the most hardcore Brexit footy fan "games gon soft lads" "we don't need no bloody VAR" etc etc and you have a significant amount of the NHL. It's not just about capital though that'll be cited, it's the culture.
So yeh with var + refs around the ice + cameras in net they totally could add sensors also
footy didn't get video review until the 2018 world cup, every other major leagues has had it for years
Nba fans go the game is getting soft lmao
Idk man i think the issue is just Bettman is old and set in his ways
They really need a forward thinking commissioner
Who’s willing to try new shit
Sheesh nba made 10 bill last year
Wowwww
This is a league that actually tries to make their game bigger
Massive growth even from a decade ago

3 centuries in 4 matches if we are being honest
If only he plays like this for India too
Honestly tho
If anyone can Chase this
It's Mumbai
It was at this exact moment we all should have known what we were getting with Matthew Tkachuk ☠️
(via @hockeynight; h/t @BradyTrett)

@sweet smelt Gonna be a fun match with this target

This target gonna be tough
If MI does it
God damn their confidence level against CSK will be at another level
And fucking goats

Icethetics reporting NYR and TBL getting thirds
You know what will be the most ideal outcome of this?
MI wins today. CSK decides to chase in the final. MI sets a very high target. Chennai takes the match to the final over, Dhoni plays good for his final IPL, and in a classic CSK way, they win it by just one ball to spare
But sadly, this won't happen 😔
Sounds like a good manga end

Fuck!
⌚️ IT’S TIME!
#NHL #JerseyWatch 2023 has arrived!
Check out what we’re expecting for next season—written by new icethetics intern Dylan and edited by Chris.
DETAILS ➡️ https://t.co/eICxS1pLCN
It’s the new hurricanes jersey?
No, it's a thread to watch for new jerseys in total
Edmonton gonna possibly reference the Edmonto Mercurys
Gonna have to snag that heritage jersey
They really just copied the Montreal design with the leafs logo
They aren't using that exact logo
They are going to probably will change it up a bit
But the Mercurys were a different team entirely and not in the nhl
I know it’s just that it looks really similar
Also if we are gonna get technical the Leafs stole their logo from the Canadian flag lmao
Heart jumped thought it was Chris Chan sweater

This can't get any worse
Lmao
Ye mi ko maar rhe dard csk fans ko ho rha
Btw gotta talk in English man

Look I changed it up a bit
Tilak and sky
I think if any canadiens fan see that Sanjuan
They will want to fight you
Lmao
hopefully they can carry the game
Mashups are funny
Even better
the two wickets is like them losing 4 with Ishan Kishan and Green Injured
Who do I do next
montreal is writing in agony
Time David,green, sky,tilak and ishan. These 5 are the only hope
💀if one of them is gone

Ishan is not recovered yet?
nah
Bro
But not in good shape
He got substituted
nah
....

Good six 
insane lmao
Should have been smart enough to not understimate Rashid

cuz it's fkin Rashid
Tim David now
He gone shouting Ben stokes
@sweet smeltMan, even in this they are still close to required run rate 😭

MI is really an insane team
if only they weren't so unlucky and fkin Rohit judged the ball well
There were lots of factors which went against mi today
Factors which couldn't be controlled by anyone
Ishan injury was simply unlucky
if they win despite this, it would be extremely fun to see
idec about supporting a team or not. It's gonna be a really good game of cricket
For me
yeah. Just completely give up on sixes on his over
and try to tone down on 4s too
Surya playing him perfectly
SKY is very aware on the field

a NO Ball 
yeah shouldn't have expected anything against a spinner
GONE
And vice versa happened

Is this wicket or the match
I say send vinod in
And save David for later
Good choice yeah
ngl, I still don't find this match to be impossible for MI
I cannot lose hope honestly lmfao
Like following mi for all these years
Ik these guys can do the impossible
I miss the old lineup of pandayas, Pollard and all that
Well that sucks
Guess they wanted to clear the cap hit for next year when he’s released
that was the most insane one for MI ngl
CSK's lineup was also insane then
Chief
pep made a cameo on Ted lasso
tim david too 😭
It's out yeah
Didn’t have to do DHop dirty like that
Tim David had to go against rashid
thepaddedseat 🐐

Toota hua
@rustic ore why they release hopkins?
Oh that’s nice…who’s paying for that?
😂😂
Best guess their new GM wouldn’t budge on moving DHop for anything less than a Day 2 pick, at his age and contract someone would’ve been stupid to make that move
But don’t they take the cap hit anyways?
And who do u think goes for him?
If Hopkins becomes a Chief it’d be really funny if they don’t win the SB
Hopkins would be really good on chiefs
What’s the right price?
Odell went for 15 after a year off so around there I imagine
So he’s going to be a bengal
I’m sorry monster
I wish someone was stupid, but it wasn't meant to be.
For a while, cards looked next
They save 8 mil this year and 14 next year
31 mil in dead cap over the next 2 years
Nah they weren't
Ngl it would
I still remember the rams vs cards game I went to where they were 7-0
Personally I’d want the jags to get him or something

Where did you get that number?
He’s cut pre June 1st correct?
Straight off over the cap
Yeah he's a pre June 1st cut
He should be off the books in 2024.
21 M dollar dead cap hit now
I’m sure they do but a high draft pick would take away the sting
Can they not release him and then process it after June 1?
What is this in response to?
Just asking for clarification
They're building for 2024
Yeesh
Yea that’s what I saw too
Kk, I already understood tho lol. I looked into it
Welp, might as well rip the bandaid
And that’s why I asked
Got the correction
That’s a hefty hit
They're going to suck anyways so might as well deal with it now.
To answer that question, they already used that on Hudson and Watt
Apparently limit is 2
He’s a chief 
Mahomes kelce dhop trio would be insane
Who will the chiefs be restructuring to make that happen? Genuine question
What about juju?
He’s with the patriots now
Gone say he gone


I genuinely wonder who the chiefs would restructure tho. Already did mahomes
If he wants the most money, he's going to choose one of those promising teams then a contender
Like the patriots u think?
If you want him back you can have him. 2nd round pick tho
ha ha ha no
Ok what about the jaguars
LIONS THAT MAN THEN
Hell yeah
Realistically I see the chiefs but the jags will be nice
Lions?
Oh he got stacks
💀
Also the tank bowl for Caleb Williams is going to be the only reason to watch this season. @rustic ore @honest umbra
Also for this guy too
Lions got the 3rd most cap space as it remains all ima say 😼
Y’all are gonna win
We gonna win 1-2 many games by virtue of having kupp and stafford and Donald
God I hope we lose enough games for MHJ
He's going top 5
Can’t see him going past 4 rn
Hard to say that NE isnt gonna have a top 5.pick. truly depends. I can't see us definitely as like 7 win team
Bowers will also be coveted in the 1st
Yeah. MHJ, Bowers, Fashanu and maybe even Alt can all be worthy of top 5 imo
They'll win some games as upsets.
Lmao we will see
Is Williams like guarantee first even if he sucks this year
He won't suck
Him or Maye, think Williams tho still cause he ain’t gone suck
Only thing that can bring him down is injury. Don't think he has off the field issues
Lincoln Riley never puts his QB in a bad spot
Him n bronny gonna run USC u think?
Didn’t you say they probably wouldn’t have
Don't think bronny is that talented, but sure.
It’s not about the talent monster, it’s the clout
He’s role player level in the nba
It is what it is.
Ain’t nothing wrong wit that
Yeah just funny since you said they’d keep him
Really have to be tanking for sure
To eat such a massive cap hit this season
I mean, I wouldn’t think my team makes a move to say “yeah we are tanking” but cards did 😂
Cause that’s just blatant imo
I just realized damn dhop 30
There are no rules against it.
Yeah nah, there aren’t. Just didn’t think they’d do it
But I’m not against it. That roster is cheeks
Well they are the worst team in the nfl so this helps
Hoping the patriots challenge y’all for that but I don’t think they will
What about that other team?
What other team?
Rams still have their stars, McVay, and a better oline that can improve their run game
They’ll be a 6-7 win team
Worst is 5
Oh right the Rams still have a 1st in 2024…for now 
Why do you say it like that
Honestly correct
They should be playing for Caleb Williams
And a full franchise rebuild
If they do end up with a chance to get Williams then Murray should be solid trade bait
They should play for 2 high first round picks
Caleb and a receiver
Then you can build the team from there
If you get Dhop Lions are finally in a place to maybe make a deep playoff run
Yeah this
They’re really banking on Houston having a bad season though, I mean they might but they almost do enough to not have a top 10 pick next year
I doubt that
It’ll be clear as we see how the season goes
Qb isn't good enough
Thought Lions fans are high on Goff
You’re tripping. Goff can most definitely go deep in playoffs with the right pieces
I'll take an offensive lineman or Bowers. Fine by me.
We are. He had a fantastic season last year with really only 1 true weapon
Amon Ra st brown
Khalif Raymond was our number 2 last year
People figured the Vikings were going to lose anyways
Fradulent and had one of the highest records in winning close score games.
He did
Lions can go deep in the playoffs with Goff. Goffs already shown he can thrive in the right situation
Both in getting to the playoffs and winning the game
The wide receiver room was kind of mid
DJ is now gonna show us where his ceiling is
Your OC is pretty good. Didn't think he'd come back.
It would’ve been so ass to lose a guy who we only had for 12 weeks
Danny dimes will take us to the promised land
^
If he does well again, he'll have his choices of HC positions
If Schoen and Daboll think we can win a SB with Danny Dimes then I believe them
2nd wild card spot seems to be a good goal
for now
Hell, argument can be made that Goff is the second best qb in the nfc 💀💀💀
Eagles and Cowboys are ahead of you guys
Yeah we’re a WC team for the near future
That’s what we want for him. We didn’t wanna see him in Carolina or Houston
And then we defeat the Eagles in Philly at the Conference Championship
Losing to the Bengals in Super Bowl 58
Or 59
It won't be a repeat of last year?
Getting absolutely beaten down?
Man the NFC qb crop has gotten worse.
Damn
DJ will show he’s top 3 in the NFC
Thank god for that
.........................
Not going through allen, mahomes, burrow, rodgers Herbert Lamar just for a shot at the Super Bowl
No thanks
Oh yeah we do don’t we
Jets giants. Home field advantage is gonna be so key for the matchup

Balotelli just took the piss 🤣
Imma try to go to that
Especially if the jets are the home team
Their fans are just so much better at games
Ours are older and more reserved
They watched Zach Wilson this past season
That’s what I’m saying. Good enough qb isn’t that much of a factor right now in the nfc.
Jets fans are just monsters there to drink a lot of alcohol and scream things
Damn man we kinda have a hard schedule
Especially when we might have the second best one
I really wouldn't want to predict the NFC North now
We have some completely insane on the road matchups
It's so unknown now
Afc east, nfc west, eagles cowboys saints
Bills, 49ers
I think the Vikings fall back to Earth
Bears are not there yet
Lion look to take a step
Lions are gonna take the division
And Packers need to bank on Love
I shouldn’t be that high on my guys, but they genuinely should win 11 games with that schedule
I’d be shocked if we don’t win the division
Unless Love is that guy
I have a feeling the lions will find a way to lion it up
I don’t trust them completely
I kinda wanna see the chiefs take a step back for once. I don’t dislike them or anything but it would be cool to see another Cincy type run if possible from another AFC side
Sound like an ESPN best writer with this
I’d like cincy to win it all if not the giants
You need to pray that Joey Brrrr rules the AFC
Def my fav AFC team to win the SB
More or less yeah
Joe burrow is the greatest qb in history
I know Sab is rooting for all the other AFC East teams to implode
Which is why I’m fine w the Giants losing to Bengals if we face them
Anyone else needs to lose
If we make it to the SB
That’s they favorite reasoning
“They’ll just be the lions” like bro, that’s not a valid reason 😭😭
He can enjoy a hard AFC and team mediocrity for a while
Will never see a dynasty like that again
It’s the same w the Jets
Watch me
Jets will Jets it
You gotta have a real reason imo, especially as a whole ass journalist
The Falcons will falcon
It’s just a cop out to me
I knew this was coming lol
Sometimes it’s not about your team winning. It’s about the other team losing
Look, yall may not know but when you win superbowls, like a lot of them
Your preception changes
Your bar raises
It’s only about your team winning. Your team winning takes care of everything lol
I’ve been yearning for the days thag the patriots become medicore
If they make it to the playoffs and lose in the divisional, I'd consider that a good season.
Thank you Eli Manning fans
We’d absolutely take that
Np
It’s ok, because we have two trophies in our walls we stole from them

Not just stole! We mugged that 18-0 team
And a whole lotta nothing else
Thank the Giants defensive line for that one.
They were a force
Glad we could provide you two moments of happiness in the otherwsie dark abyss of New York Giants football
Transitive property says Eli is the GOAT qb
A team with a good d line is so fun to watch
wish I could see that with my team
Giants won 2 bowls before the pats did doe
I wouldn’t want to take that happiness from anyone else♥️
Just gonna say DJ has a higher ceiling than Eli Manning
They weren't around for those
Besides maybe the eagles
Hard to celebrate a ring that you weren't even a fetus for
Cowboys are too poverty for me to care THAT deeply but I still hate them
Pats have the best dynasty no debate
Chiefs can make one now
Meanwhile the Commies can’t even win a trademark dispute
Weren’t even a dynasty them mofos were an empire
Actually the Celtics do if we talking across sports
Although they were playing against plumbers
Yeh but you said dark existence like the Pats didn’t have a dark one prior to this
100% do
But nfl, yeah patriots
They still made superbowls. But they never won
Bill russell carrying that entire franchise smh
Lost to the Bears and the Packers
Ok imagine losing 4 straight superbowls
Not saying otherwise, but there's been a lot more brightness in New England than New York
Bills
And that makes me happy
Imagine being a bills fan during that period
^
They were outclassed in the latter 3. Should have won against the Giants.
I think I’d quit watching football
Talk about cursed
The city of Boston being happy doesn’t make me happy
Giants always winning games they shouldn’t
A trend
I don't really care about the Bruins, Celtics, or Red Sox
Celtics??
Florida Panthers channeling Giants energy rn
In fact I hate the Red Sox
You said you'd pop off?
Because Butler failed?
Which is why Miami should snuff out this glimmer of hope they have
Tomorrow
I hope
Yall assigned me celtics fandom
Oh it was from that angle
Celtics need to go home
Just because I dislike butler more
I do dislike the Brooons
Did you like the Red Sox before the Cora cheating scandal?
Yes. I did.
I could have sworn you had interest in them before
...................
No I'm reacting to Lunik
Ah
Yeah
I in fact celebrated and purchased multiple world series items when the sox won
Will never root for the Bruins after this
Good
That's cool
I have since sold all that
I remember the one against the Cardinals
That was cool
I actually threw away the 2018 title hat I had. It didn't feel right
I still remember that one game where they went multiple innings from the 2018 series
Nathan Eovaldi
That was tiresome
Sox cards was 2004 yeah?
That was legendary, mlb 2005 is like the best baseball game ever
Mvp baseball 2005 I played that shit for years
Yeah fair enough
Could be the colts
My best guess
Really talent devoid roster
Plus richardson going to take some time to develop
Bears have some nice pieces along with the Texans
The Chiefs received permission to talk with DeAndre Hopkins earlier in the offseason and spoke to him before the draft, per sources. Contract was the hurdle, and to do it now, price would have to come way down.
KC likes him, but the deal they gave Donovan Smith makes $$$ tough.
Think they’ll just edge out the colts
@rustic ore
Hahhahahahahaah’
Smith strikes again
Become a bengal deandre
On a recent appearance on the “I Am Athlete” podcast, free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins listed the five QBs he’d most like to catch passes from: the Bills’ Josh Allen, the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts, the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and the Chargers’ Justin Herbert.
5375
915
Gee. Who woulda guessed
DHop with Herbert could be fun
Did he just name the best QBs?
Dude pulled the All Pro list and went I want that
Why not Jared Goff smh
Notice he didn’t say Rodgers 
Or Brady
No Burrow though which is odd
He doesn’t like old QBs
I am sure he would be fine with Burrow
But the Bengals aren't looking for more firepower
Or should not be
I put my money on the Bills
Because Bill's blood oath to Satan in 2001 is coming due
Would make sense, let Diggs go slot full time
Davis gotta get his head out of his ass though
Let down year last season after what he did the year prior and in the playoffs
But they still won’t win
I hope burrow cooks his ass
They already did all the winning
Next time they face off
Chase in the slot would be disgusting
I’m a big Herbert fan but I’d never overrate him
Wouldn’t have any qb not on that list other than burrow and Rodgers above him
Stafford I don’t think is better
Brady obv retired
Lol, love the ravens but that offense will always be structured around the run first
Same honestly
And I don’t think that’s the best idea
Given how good Lamar is
As a passer
Ravens do have a new OC
Monken is a run first guy too
Lamar’s a damn good passer to me still but the offense will still be built off the run
Just cause his running ability is better doesn’t mean he isn’t a top ten passer when healthy in my eyes
Look man sometimes ya gotta take the browns to the superbowl
Lol
Penguins fan? Dangggg enjoy the rebuild man
I am an unabashed simp for that woman
If she told me she would like it if we cheered for the Panthers
Just simp for more money easy
Nahh not how it works
lol Ik

“LeBron James will be the greatest statistical [player] to ever play the game of basketball. [Michael Jordan] was a horrible player.”
- Scottie Pippen
(h/t @DieHardCBfans )
15076
2149
Isn't there a clip of him on some espn show saying Lebron is definitely not the goat/better than Michael??
Yeah, dude is just saying shit for the sake of it
Won't be as bad as the latest Kwame Brown thing tho goddamn
Side note: I'll be in Vegas during Summer League and my uncle says there's a good chance he can get some tickets through a friend to go watch Wemby
What about Shaquille
he's like top 10
It's not the first time he says he prefers Bron over MJ either lol
LeBron could be the best of all time in my mind, just depends on the day of the week. Jordan and him aren't oceans apart or anything
Kinda like Gretzky and Lemeiux
Remove the 0 and we’re talking
I can name 5 dudes better than Shaq
He definitely is in the top 10 but I can't see top 5
Name them and I’ll tell you why you’re wrong because I won’t know them
You may not know ball, but you're honest about it and I respect that. A lot of dudes wont
Shaq is just a nerfed Kenneth Lofton JR ngl
I'm trying to come up with a top 10 all time and it's so hard lol
Kenneth lofton jr can’t be any good when he’s not even the best Kenny lofton
Still depends on the day of the week but I would say LeBron, Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Kobe even. But you could switch some spots
There are so many candidates for the 7-10 spots
He's a big big boi
I have Duncan pretty high
Well for me he was the best PF
I have Duncan at like 6
You still got Hakeem, Wilt, Kareem, Russell but that's skewed
If you are going off
Like don't take eras into consideration
Then Wilt is really high
Wilt should be high
And Bill Russell I guess
But that's what I mean, I can name 8 dudes or so that I would consider before Shaq but not 10
Top 3 has to be Bron, MJ and Kareem imo
Though I will say this
Pistol Pete was way ahead of his time
And is one of the most underrated players
Man I love Maravich
Top 3 might just be that for me too but the 3 spot is more interchangeable
Not top 10 or anything but
Man his plays were nuts
For that era
It would make into highlights in today's nba even
Another thing is considering the game of these players and how well rounded they are. At least imo
That's the issue with players like Curry
Because tbh I don't wanna just put Shaq above all these dudes who could pass well, shoot, etc
He'd be in top 10 if not for his defense
I think he can be top 10 even without being an elite defender
Melo was great at what he did and fucking absolutely just that
I would consider steph more if he was a defender at all
I admit the dude should be talked about
But let's be real, he is amazing at shooting, is somehow an hyperactive toddler offball and it works
And his passing is great
Yeah dude is just nuts offensively
But do we really ignore his defense or lack thereof
Yes
Yeah you need to take overall game into consideration
When there are dudes who scored close to him and played D
No one has done what he has
I do think offense is valued more than defense though
It hella is
He revolutionized the game in a way that we've never seen
Amazing offensively, good defensively>Amazing defensively, good offensively
Otherwise James Harden would be on the bench
That is enough to balance his lack of defense imo
Hey man everyone getting triple doubles since Russ is farming it
Can we get him into top 10
By any chance
I can respect it but at the same time I just think a well rounded player who scored less but still a ton is gonna be someone I go to first
:3
Man Idk if I even put Russ in an all decade team
I don't see Bird or Magic being praised or remembered for their defense and yet so many people have them in their top 10
Yeh
He's definitely not getting into a starting 5
Like a team of 5
I admit he had cool games but man
Been my favourite player and hes the reason I even watch basketball
But even I wouldn't put him in an all decade team
I like him in clippers
The main thing about Westbrook was I knew a dude who was OBSESSED with him and KD
I just remember his shot selection being awful
So that's my main memory
Lmao
Russ was actually as efficient as Kobe from the field
Which isn't much
But yknow
Just tons of "Bro how could KD and Russ NOT win any rings??"
The downside was his 3 point shooting
His mid range was deadly
Athleticism also helped him massively on defense
What would be your all decade starting 5?
I just don't like how people make him this guy that just hates his teammates because idk they didn't hit a shot or something
Harden maybe?
Even tho he's been kinda underwhelming in the playoffs recently
Though it is too late for him kinda
Lmao
Wade is overall like top 3 SG of all time
Yeah Wade was starting to regress those late Heat years
And then for the center position
Never forget he played for the Cavs too lol
This is the toughest one imo
I wouldn't put Jokic as he peaked in the very late 2010s
I don't remember a constant dominant center
Yikes.
Look Deandre Jordan was a beast but
Marc Gasol maybe?
He fell off hard and quick
But his lob city highlights are great
How didn't they get past the second round ever is beyond me lmao
He made ALL Nba 1st team I think
wait did Deandre?
Can we put Giannis at center lol
We could
I love his videos recruiting nba players to taiwan tho lmao
