I honestly think people forget that Kareem went to college for four years, and Michael Jordan went for three. Just think what their all time numbers would be like if they wouldn't have gone to school like LeBron didn't.
Jordan would destroy people
You couldnt touch him
They had hand checking back then
Cant do that now
Also he we learn to shoot 3s
Dude was so detrimined to win
Forget he scored 40 points when he was 41
Back to back nights
From 91-98 he never lost more than 3 games in a row
Also when having 1 all star he lost 1 playoff serries
Thats it
lebron and kobe think it was 5 or 6
series they lost with 1 all star
the GOAT
I'm old enough to say I saw all those games and he is definitely the man
I remember when he destroyed Charles Barkley and the Sixers that was awesome
He didnt play at 41 what
Not necessarily
He absolutely would destroy most players
Just not everyone
As I said
He would get called on fouls a lot
Because he also played physically
If he played defense the exact same then he would foul out before the 4th
Not that simple
He could have learned the 3 in the 90's
Which he did
Tremendously increasing his percentage
But it isnt enough to compete with klay, curry, lavine, lillard
Embiid would probably be seen as better
At shooting
And as I said
He wouldnt be able to dominate in the paint as much
Because he would foul with his physicality
01-02 season
0.2 and 0.9 3 per game
18%
in 60 games
LOL he would change his defense lol
He shot 50 percent for his career not many guards can claim that
scored more points than most per game
avg 30 pts on 50 percent shooting
For his career
And he never domainate in the paint, he could dunk and do layups and I dont see that changing
But he was deadly in the mid range that wouldnt change
I dont see anything changing
MJ is overrated
Horray for 12 days of locker codes where the 1st day didn't work and the 2nd day excludes current Gen! 2k cares and gives us awesome stuff šš¤£

Golden State's Steph Curry is expected to miss "a few weeks" with his left shoulder injury, sources tell ESPN.
Golden State Warriors All-NBA star Stephen Curry has sustained a labral injury in his left shoulder and will be re-evaluated in two weeks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Warriors' Stephen Curry has a labrum injury in his left shoulder that is not expected to require surgery, sources say. Details on @TheRally: https://t.co/6ox6W2UiN5
His overrated he got overrated once he won his 4th ring
His 4th ring wasnāt that competitive at all
He wasnāt even top 3 in the playoffs
That argument ended hours ago
Opinions are already classified my boy there ain't no argument no more
4*
2*
Let me ask you this
No
Will the 2017 warriors without kd win the chip
Yes.
Wait who did they play in 2017?
CAVs
Oh then yeah
Explain how
You gotta think about their game plan after blowing a 3-1 lead, they would've had their best defender on lebron at all times and would've had curry and Klay set up for great plays to help them win
That isnāt gonna change anything
āBest defender on Lebronā
Who can defend Lebron ?
No one
Not even Draymond
Draymond said that
Didn't the Mavs lock up lebron in that one finals?
Yes??
Cavs Lebron is different to heat Lebron
Plus warriors arenāt mavs
They canāt defend Lebron
Lmao
Plus by your logic you're saying lebron would've carried the Cavs to a back to back finals with only kyrie?
Yes
Warriors without kd too
Kevin love > Draymond
I don't see it
Lebron was averaging a triple double against the warriors 33 12 10 in finals while Kyrie was averaging 29
Thereās no way
That warriors beat that cavs
Without kd
Cuz kd came in and averaged 35 in finals
And saved the warriors
You're only going off their averages
Thereās no way that Klay and curry best scorers on the team beat kyrie and Lebron
Simply the better duo
But they do
Huh?
You ain't even let me finish you just ended an argument by saying I lost
Man whatever you lame can't even finish an argument
Bro blocked me to act cool lmfao š
Explain how curry and Klay are gonna beat Kyrie and Lebron
In finals
They aināt beating Lebron lil bro
I've tried like thirty times and my message ain't send
Lebron averaged a triple double against them
And I'm not ya lil bro
Wdym
Curry and Klay had more bench pieces then bron and kyrie did, plus this was when kyrie was mad he was a second option, so since bron and kyrie had no help besides k love and tristian Thompson overall warriors win due to actually having good backups to help them keep their lead.
So yes they do beat bron bro bro
U lost
U can't argue
Have a good night.
Bench pieces ?
Kyrie and Lebron were getting 40 mins a game
That doesnāt matter
And even kevin love and Tristan are good
Jr smith was shooting 58% from 3 too
Can u learn ball
Klay was Op back then tho it was just the comeback and the mentality that made kyrie and lebron win which means they can cooperate much better and make better decisions
Thatās tough, but i will take the bulls in seven

Ima keep it 100
Steph curry a top 5 player at minimum
Iād even argue top 3 tbh
Jordan, LeBron, Curry. The only reason Curry isnāt the GOAT is because of heās not an elite defender like Jordan or LeBron in their prime
But heās the best offensive player ever
The Lakers say Anthony Davis is out for Sundayās game vs WAS with right foot soreness.
Hell no
His nothing compared to magic Kareem and bird
Aināt no way this guy is saying curry top 5
Casualness
Steph and Klay are the best backcourt in NBA history debate a wall idc
Depends how we debate it. Their career or their skill
Skill wise. What canāt Steph do besides defend at an elite level? Which not even Magic could do at 6ā9ā
For their career and skill
Damn near got handles like Kyrie, the best dribbler in NBA history
And heās by far the best shooter in NBA history
The warriors are struggling rn
Yeah I wonāt deny that but their individual skill. I donāt think magic / Kareem/ bird have higher skill than curry. Curry is a HOFer of today. The game and players has evolved in the past 40-50 years. He has more skill than all 3 no contest
Career though Curryās career not over but you could say top 10 maybe top 15 worst case scenario but thereās more time to tell
I think the warriors will figure it out and make the playoffs
Me too
And the Lakers though I donāt think theyāll go to the finals, but I do think they can get there.. hopefully
This year is the year of the Celtics š¤ Warriors robbed me last year
What game in your opinion is the best Christmas Day game of all time
you're that young ,huh

Too weak compared to other teams
Luka can single handedly beat the warriors
Ok then mavs can beat warriors
Warriors are about to get blown out by the raps
Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis is expected to miss at least one month after suffering a right foot injury, multiple sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

They would have to trade so much for lavine
ESPN reporting with @mcten on Anthony Davis who's expected to miss multiple weeks with a right foot injury and still undergoing more evaluation on Sunday: https://t.co/KuyVvJC0Hy
It might be worth it tbh
Not really, lebron is most likely gonna leave once bronny can be drafted, so trading for lavine is gonna be really hard to do since LeGM traded away all the picks for day to davis
my guy theyll prob add ad and lebron for him lol]
Yeah ad can never stay healthy tho, but you are right with LeBron
Nah the bulls gonna ask for picks.
Actually this playing time is a new record for him
I wonder if the lakers are gonna draft bronny š¤
no
With what picks?
theyll prob trade ad and 348 picks for him tho
They should do that
Lol
and then hes a bust
True true
Ooh true
They should trade him before the deadline š
And doesn't punch people
ikr
Because he's a triple single
And kick their š°
lmfao I remember seeing that game š
bruh how do i defend the suns?

Call up pat bev
lol
hey, iām looking to play on someoneās 2k22/23 account for a while if you donāt mind. if i like it good enough iāll even buy it off you. dm me and lmk
Yep
Lavine is decling, he is older
Lonnie walker, russ and the 2027 first
Itās not about being young to know about the past. Thereās not been a player like Curry in any way and the reason is because of his skill. You smoking if you thinking Magic is better than Curry. Magic had a better career, Curry is a better players thatās all Iām saying
My point proven
.
Look at jokic man so inspirational

People have been calling LeBron the greatest scorer ever as he closes in on the total points record, do you believe this to be true as well?
For me, I donāt believe I can give him that title. Heās pretty mid outside of 0-3.. but.. the goal is to put the ball in the basket and he gets to the rim efficiently and has for 20 years.
Heās the greatest finisher, for me greatest scorer requires a bag, some versatility. James has a poor midrange game and below average 3pt game.
Perhaps itās some bias but part of me feels LeBron is breaking this record is due to favorable circumstances. Able to be drafted at 18, less stress on the body when thereās less physicality in the game is a given, surely medical technology has advanced, the floor was opened for offensive opportunities. Not to downplay what heās done though, it was considered an unbreakable record for a very long time. I just donāt think the term would be greatest scorer depending on how you define it. I expect with how prevalent the 3-ball game has become, we will see a lot of greats fall in the all-time scoring list. Though even with the record being broken, I think LeBron is setting another unbreakable record because youād have to average over 27 PPG to break it š
like you elaborated on, "scorer" is too broad of term. i would say lebron is not the goat, but maybe tied with Jordan and Curry as greatest teammates of all time. that is to say if you want to win games, those are the top three players to build a team around.
Itās hard to think who the GOAT truly is. Two different players, different eras so both playstyle and rules have changed. Rings arenāt everything but itās what helps me settle the argument and give it to Jordan. He did exceptional things alongside those rings in such a short period of time. Not just something anyone can do. A lot of people will combat it with LeBronās finals appearances but he lost 60% of them. Yeah, people dream of getting to that stage, but it is the GOAT topic and idk how you can have a losing finals record and be the GOAT. With that being said, he has the greatest singular chip in history to me just because everything about that year was so iconic.
LeBron even said heād be happy to win another chip and doesnāt really care about the scoring title, whether that part is true or not it shows how much a championship is valued. The goal is to win. A lot of people say I think Jordan only played 6 years but 6/15 is better than 4/19 (maybe 5/20 soonā¢ļø) is what I try to explain.
Heās definitely the GOAT of longevity though. Think the GOAT debate depends on what you value more, the player that was the best or the player slightly worse but kept that consistency 7 years longer.
Regardless, I think it goes 1) Jordan, 2) LeBron or 1) LeBron 2) Jordan
I donāt think anyone else is truly in the conversation, no disrespect to Kareem, Wilt or Bill.
- Jordan 2. Lebron 3. Kobe 4. Magic 5. Curry - idk it's still early here, but something like that
ESPN Sources: After six seasons, Atlanta's President of Basketball Operations Travis Schlenk is moving into a senior advisory role. GM Landry Fields will oversee basketball operations. Schlenk's acquired significant talent, including Trae Young and reached Eastern finals in 2021.
Career-wise I have Johnson over Curry, as an individual player I have to place Curry over Johnson. When making a top 5 I try to factor in both :3
Iād feel bad omitting Wilt, Bill, or Kareem from the top 5. It feels they do not get as much respect because how long ago they played
Schlenk has multiple years left on his contract, and will remain in the organization working with owner Tony Ressler, sources said. Fields was promoted to GM in June and will step up and take on a larger role now. Hawks are 16-15 and remain engaged in trade talks on John Collins. https://t.co/6RySqItJgO

valid
Kobe at 3 would have a lot of people mad š but I think itās justifiable
Not everything can be told by a stat sheet and that seems to be the go-to. Kobe is one of those players where I think the stats can be misrepresented very easily and the eye-test is a much better way to judge him.
LeBron's longevity allows him to beat records, which isn't a bad thing at all.
Iām sorry if I made it seem that way, his unseen before longevity definitely is a positive not a negative.
you didn't. I was making it clear that I didn't mean it as a bad thing š
I think Kobe's way too high
what's your top 5, i don't usually put the old heads cos i started watching in the late 80's
whoa, you're older than me. I"m not sure if my top 5 is fair because it's not based on observation only, but what I"ve read/learned about
yeah i understand, sometimes i want to put players like oscar robertson and westbrook higher cos i admire the triple dub so much
Westbrook gets too much hate, he lowkey changed the NBA. Look at how many people got triple doubles before him averaging it and then after. Always like the guy since 2013, think he gets too much hate today. People talk about him like heās always been trash or something
i start his amethyst in myteam and he is solid too . .. but yeah agree šÆ
The triple double for Westbrook seems more because he was chasing it hard
Sources: The Pistons have signed general manager Troy Weaver to a contract extension. Since Weaverās arrival in 2020, Detroit has accumulated strong young talent in Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart and Saddiq Bey, along with the trade of Bojan Bogdanovic.

I've never really watched sports growing up. Never too late... so they say. I'm interested in starting to watch basketball but don't know all the rules, players, history, etc. Is there anyway I can get a jumpstart on this knowledge or research about it? Also where can I watch games and which games are important? I've heard from time-to-time that some games are good and relevant to watch and enjoy but a select few aren't. But hey, who am I to know?
NBA app gives u a free trial before billing after 3 months
I'm not sure if fox sports streams it for free but I hope it does
Yeah but how am I supposed to enjoy the sport if I don't know much about the players and their history. How do I know who to support or when there's a foul,
You
google and wiki. And it depends, as usually the playoffs are important. You can also look at nBA.com and check out which teams are the best and see if they're worht it, as well as friends or social media.
Also, wikipedia the game to learn, or just ask us. And play the game

Start: MJ

Start : Bron
Bench : MJ
Cut : Kobe
I'm only starting Bron because I think Bron is a pretty good playmaker and I'll have MJ a pure scorer coming in and bringing us up 20 in the 2nd quarter

No disrespect to Kobe lmao one of my favorite players heās just not in that conversation

ESPN Sources: All-Star guard James Harden is seriously considering a return to the Houston Rockets in free agency this July -- if he decides against a new deal with the Philadelphia 76ers: https://t.co/ZqJGIL1ZeP
I think he could if he stays healthy
i hope i can watch the lakers game today
If zion stays healthy and gets a good jumpshot then yes, but if injuries make zion's development worse I would say luka
So overall it's a 50/50
I can watch the game yaaaay
Knicks are up 3 at halftime
yee they looked pretty good
like your pfp man
Yours is cooler
Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) will not play tonight against the Celtics, per Mike Budenholzer
This aged horribly
On the day that Dallas Mavericks forward Christian Wood becomes eligible for a four-year, $77 million contract extension, he delivers 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
looooooool @ your team
ive been sleeping on dillon brooks' defense
š
they went from leading to trailing by 10+ points
lame team
paying to see them lose >>>>>>>>>
jumping for a dunk at a high velocity is so scary
these athletes have 0 fear which is insane
Ja trying so hard to be like MJ/Kobe
ayo, Grizzles lost to the Warriors
One of the worst reffed games of the season that Iāve seen
dunno if the Ja dunk should have been a defensive or offensive foul
Suns star Devin Booker is out for remainder of game vs. Nuggets after due to his groin injury. Booker played just over four minutes to start the game.

Noice

maxey went ham in the start of season

i aint gonna lie, if harden never left okc, i wouldve always thought him to be a 6th man
because i think like that of lou williams
Probably would've started eventually tho
yeah
Harden would def have started, but then again was being a starter why he got "better?"
the strongest center is easy to find, but who's the weakest?
the nba does that to a man
legit question. I dunno if starting made him "better"
Sacremento, why you even trying to play Sabonis
you have a tough matchup and you aint predicted to win
Itās an injury that can still heal if he has a cast or brace on
Imagine losing to the rockets THE ROCKETS!!!! I Mean They Di Got Jalen Green Thatās It
Just saying
I honestly feel that the thunder could have a better record if they just switch up a couple of players
Pacers are actually rlly suprising this season
Why are my Hornets last? We play GSW tonight and we already beat them once.
because HOrnets are still irrelevant
Embiid >>> Harden
See if we're talking about now I totally agree with you, but all time I think harden is better.
you're a KNicks fan so I don't expect you to be right
How is embiid better than harden all time?
because he is
I feel bad for Luka
I have a question I bought MJ Edition and have current gen
wrong channel

Fax 
Is uncle Drew and kd the greatest duo in the league rn?

Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic: 60 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists in win over Knicks. First ever 60/20/10 game in NBA history.
nice
Don't care wizards win
Vs
Refs and
tonight. Gonna do it again tomorrow nightā¦
Fans when there team loses
team they support vs RefS
I'm so done with people who say that
Your team lost. It's simple, not on the refs
Watch the game and tell me the Refs didnāt have an impact on the Kings.
Carry calls, lane violations on free throws. Come on
60 points and 20 reabounds is crazy
lol that sounds like a long time but itās only a few days.. prayers for the kings
Nets been popping off
to add on the warriors is calling jordan poole = same level as stephen curry which is crazy since all he knows how to do is get "shifty"(aka caryy the ball) and makes three pointers every once in a while hes a good player over all but the refs never call anything just like the kings ows deeren fox
MJ GOAT
nobody was talking bout that but i agree
Don't care wizards win
but we talking bout sum else
no
who is then
quite a few choices
no, I just don't care enough to respond

Suns star Devin Booker will miss at least four weeks with a left groin strain, team says.
INJURY UPDATE: Further evaluation has confirmed that Devin Booker has sustained a left groin strain. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Anyone tryna run 2k?
Sources: Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal will be day-to-day after MRI on his left hamstring. He will miss tonightās game vs. Phoenix, and thereās optimism he will be available as soon as the Wizardsā next contest on Friday in Orlando.
Frick
Warriors about to win tonight against the jazz
MJ is easily top 10 of all time but not the goat of all time
it's a fact
mj was the best OF HIS TIME
not necessarily of all time
gotta say it š¤·āāļø
that's still debatable, but def top 3 of his time
Number one of his time def, Hakeem and Isiah Thomas are 2 and 3
severe doubts about Isiah, I think Reginald Miller or Charles Barkley should be top 3, if not 5. Maybe Patrick Ewing
As a Knicks fan I don't think Patrick Ewing would be top 3 of Jordan's time. He only made finals when jordan retired, yet he still never won. I do agree with you tho about Barkley and Miller being top 3 maybe 5 of that time tho
Winning isn't everything, plus the Bulls were pretty stacked. Without Pip they wouldn't have made it as far as they did.
Aleksej PokuŔevski sustained a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture in his left leg and will be reevaluated in 6-8 weeks, Thunder announce.
true
Are lebron 19 good?
Imo pip wouldn't have done anything without jordan
he definitely needed Jordan to elevate him and shape him into the player he became
also, heck yeah Bulls! But they're way too damn inconsistent
that's embarrassin
To be fair the kings blew a 20 point lead to them last game
Nets and bucks ecf predicting it right now inshallah
doubt it. Kyrie will probably Kyrie and not play, while Bucks have to stay healthy
But giannis still took the Celtics to 7 when his team wasn't healthy, so I think they have a chance to make ecf
Celtics suck though
any1 wanna talk???
Whadup yall
2k legend in da house
Lol jk
Lakers sux, westbrick cant shoot there i said it
we all said it
True true.
you better say that
I'm being forced by new york to say that
Exactly
Louisville WBB game
Nah they donāt they got wiseman
Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez have exercised their option to purchase the next 20% of the Timberwolves and Lynx, sources told @ShamsCharania and @JonKrawczynski.
It continues their three-step plan to assume full control of the franchises.
IS IT JUST ME? or why is luka dropping 60 points 21 rebound and 10 assist
bro is on demon time
And he not that athletic
bro needs some help
because his team sucsk
Th Heat with Butler
NBA has suspend Detroit guard Killian Hayes for three games and Orlando's Mo Wagner for two games for altercation on Wednesday night.
Fr the GOAT
Wdym
Kyrie is playing good rn
He will play
They have a legit chance at a chip
Take advantage of it
Claxton playing a big role rn too
Top 2 in blocks
Celtics are no problem for bucks and nets
l
Celtics are gonna tank again. But Kyrie somehow has something going on that prevents him from playing
3 seconds into the game... this was the FASTEST three-pointer recorded since the start of the play-by-play era!
Another Pacer held the record previously... Reggie Miller (4 seconds on March 5, 2000).
Why the rush, Buddy? š

Kyrie and kd best duo in the league
Kyrie wanna hoop just like kd

If bronny James plays with LeBron do you think they'll win a championship.
no
Why not?
Bronny isn't good enough, and without AD they aren't winning
True
Nah they definitely wouldnāt
LeBron too old to carry
If Bronny has superstar skill when he enters the league then maybe with AD but like that guy said AD is needed
I think he can still carry, he just has to know hwen
Bronny has to have MJ skills to carry without AD
or Magic
I donāt think Bron can carry anymore since itās not really working. Seen a quote saying he said he could lead if he had the right pieces but he had very nice pieces to work with a year before the chip. I think AD is the carry rn if he could stay healthy
Iām at least glad AD can come back and be very effective still
Was afraid heād fall off, weāll see what happens now. Sad to see
AD is definitely the key piece
As you said thoug, he needs to stay healthy, and that seems to be a struggle for him
In midst of turbulent season, Atlanta Hawks head coach Nate McMillan has strongly considered resigning from his position, sources say.
Details on McMillan remaining as coach for now and his tenuous status in Atlanta at @TheAthletic: https://t.co/XytwQ2fXST
Darvin Ham, two weeks after Anthony Davis suffered the stress injury in his right foot, says āthe biggest thing is, his pain has just about dissipatedā and says Davis is trending in the right direction when it comes to approaching a ramp up to return to the court.
facts
and Ik people say bronny is good but like I doubt if he wasnāt lebron son no one would know he was alive
He would be underated
people hype him up too much yk
like heās good but I donāt think heās that good to be getting all this hype around him
How do i turn off untouchables in 2k23 current gen my league
Fox with a Dunk of the Year!
Iām not at Golden1 Center tonight.
I entered Health & Safety protocols today and was out for tonightās game.

Hey
Fans!

@narrow dune just getting over COVID myself hope you feel better soon tho
This game sucks
Poole>Lillard and it's not close
Jordan poole and Klay popped off tonight
72 combined points
But all the 40 point bombs today were crazy
Zamn!
Yea but didnāt just recently luka doncic scored 60 points with a triple double
20 rebounds
thgags crazy
W bucks!
Hello can someone help me

Yeah
oh,nvm it worked,tysm
Ok no problem
š¤
bro poole is so is mindblwing
he doesn even have handle

if you stop the stepback you contain him
No way you just said Poole doesn't have handles
he dribbles no where
š¤”
Raps gave us a free win too
or the team
Only because Danny Green intentionally fouled Klay
anybody got a jacket I can borrow?
pat bev over curry...
ur high asf
yea so
Happy new years
Jerry West over Curry lmao. Jk
Steph or kd
Isaac bonga
Bol bol
hi
larry bird
Kd
dream 5?
Steph,mj,kd,bron,giannis for a center
Steph is better than kd
whoās better jaylen brown or ja morant
Currently, I'd say ja
Magic, Kobe, Bron, Hakeem, Shaq
Magic, MJ, bron, Tim Duncan, Shaq
Timmy d is a great pick
He's a really underrated pf
Magic, MJ, Bird, Duncan, and Wilt
Heās ranked the best Iām pretty sure
Like best pf
top 5 easily, at the very least
š®
shaq
Man I wouldnt say top 3 of all time
because if you're born after 2000, then it's hard to take your opinions seriously. I argued with few people on here who were born after that year, and they were wrong
Youngin
2002 ofc
Robert Horry
I literally said "hard to take your opinions seriously." In any case, Embiid is not even close to top 5 centers of all time
Your opinion is wrong but I support you having an authentic opinion
Your age matters because you have a very small reference point to other great centers in history. Youāve never watched prime Shaq while he dominated, youāve never seen Hakeem play with your own eyes.
it's not an opinion, it's backed up
exactly
Also, depending on your age, your brain š§ isnāt even fully developed yet
While centers now are probably more versatile, they might not be as dominant
I seen that blocked message, you gotta chill
for example, someone like KAT and Embiid would not last long in the 90s because of how physical centers were
Embiid would. Unless injuries
how much damage can he take?
Give me Prime KAJ vs Embiid
Hakeem and Shaq would be destroying most centers
Prime Patrick Ewing would avg 35, 15, 6 in this era
is that good or bad?
my assumption is because when he plays on form, he's great. Without him Lakers are doing bad
Ah. I'm not sure how Ewing played back in the day, whether that's better or worse.
He averaged 28,14,3 in 1989
eww Knicks
meeeeh, dull
Youāre smarter than I thought originally
I'm from NJ and still don't support KNicks or Nets
You not a real one
a friend likes the Knicks, so boo to the Knicks
Nets left NJ, so boo to them
The bomb squad
Westbrick is overrated.
Triple doubles are w/e
FOr some reason he got worse with the Lakers, which is a shame as he could have helped them win a lot of games
Yea
I feel like Westbrook like forces himself to get the stats
he tries so hard for the triple doubles
dude needs to stop chucking shots
smh, I"m surprised he hasn't been jumped by his own teammates yet
he likes AD
The Sixers might not work for him
he needs another ball handler
Question for myteam, since no one is awnsering me in there
Am I not able to sell my dwight Howard becuz j got him from locker code?
Yeah
Dang alr
He is unauctionable
Wizards 5 game win streak:)
hope it snaps soon
I'd watch out, draymond is cooking
Draymond Fr the goat
hes gonna carry us
to Ls
Pelicans say Zion Williamson has suffered a right hamstring strain and is out for remainder of game vs. 76ers.
he easily be a top 5 center if he played in this era
Get giannis to dap you up
Donovan Mitchell in tonightās Cavaliers win over Bulls: 71 points ā becoming the seventh player in NBA history to score 70 or more in a game.
@wind light do we talk about that?
very impressive
warriors vs hawks potentially game of the year
and a historic night in scoring
Mitchell 71, Klay 54, Derozan 44
Not to disrespect the NBA but Jesus the defense can be very annoying
Itās worse than 2Kās defense
At least in 2K when someone is close to you, itās considered contested
Dudes is running alongside the driver and they getting easy layups because you can't make contact

Sources: Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. will undergo surgery on a torn ligament in his left hand and miss 4-to-6 weeks. Oubre ā averaging a career high 20.2 points ā suffered the injury in the first week of the season and has been playing through the pain on his shooting hand.
Kobe Bryant could never
how many rings donovan got again? š
Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III has sustained a right-hand injury is expected to miss extended time, sources tell ESPN. Bagley III is undergoing further evaluation to determine next steps.
3
No defense NBA fr
Don't matter about rings, donovan is still young and has a lot of time to get a ring scoring and or assisting on almost 100 points is really impressive and maybe Kobe never did do that
Kobeās 81 would adjust to 115 points today šÆ
Iām just bsāing. I would like to see what it would be today adjusted for pace
I mean it could've been at least 100 if he had any assists that game
Still impressive for both of them
I think it's more impressive for Donovan cause he's a young star
Maybe. I donāt like to be a hater but the game is just so different
No defense, inflated scoring
2000s is known as some of the best defense after hand-checking is gone, Luka just set a record. As impressive as they are, I think these would not happen if defense was less limited rules wise
tonight.
