lol
- he is the cover
Woah it’s so hot it’s like I’m eating the devils booty hole
Go to a provided channel
Best friends
Bruh wtf
LeBron looks like Bitter Beer Face
Imagine being the person here who gets pinged every time someone tries to ping everyone
when they ball hogging all game and now they want the ball
Junk be so aggravating
o
Bro thinks that This summer league championship is equivalent to the bubble💀
😂
Bro rlly said 😛
When defending should you cross your feet or not
My coach says to never cross feet but I’ve seen people say it’s fine
No, it makes it easier to get your ankles broken on dribble moves
Doing leg stretches also prevents that
Any tips in general for defense
Just watch Kawhi highlights
You generally don't want to try to block jumpshots, it leads to more fouls and its easy for the opponent to pump fake and drive past you
It's much better to just try to get a hand up
Free agent guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. has agreed to a training camp deal to re-sign with the Toronto Raptors, with a significant salary guarantee if he makes the opening night roster, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
8 HOURS?
I thought it was 3 hours?
They upped it.
i like knicks
I like the Chicago bulls
Bro
Yeah he seemed to fall of the face of the earth a year ago. Hard to believe dudes can have 50 and 60 point games in the nba, be all stars and all pros and still find themselves scraping to play overseas
Hot take Ad is a top 10 player if healthy
Unpopular opinion: Steph is a top 10 current player
Maybe not
Obviously
Ig
2000's era is falling now yall
If ad is actually heathy next season he could win dpoy
We know it's true, but you know there are a lot of people here who would fight me for hours about it
Crazy ppl
They just straight up hating
They probably are just lebron 🥩 riders
Damn I'm a lebron fan but saying Steph is not a top 10 player rn is crazy
leBrick
Or even LeSwept?
We'll come back to this in April
fosho
By then we'll have even more LeNicknames
every single lakers fan will get there as banter when that happens
You assume laker fans will still exist
We still don't have anyone over 6'9
But it's fine
We'll just bring back the death lineup
Nah we're gonna teach Looney to shoot
Kawhi sucks on the clippers
He's gonna be chucking 3s from steph range
Always injuried
So why doesn't this logic apply to lebron?
A few years ago, I wouldn't care, but hes not as good now
He's getting injured more and more
🤷🏼♂️
Who are those people?
Ron Harper jr is the son of NBA hall of famer Ron Harper
Javon was signed on a two way contract
And Jeff is a undrafted rookie
Well hes been in the NBA for 2 years
Bro only watched LeBron this season💀
😂 bro thinks im a leBum fan, i rather blend my di
to be a leBum fan
accept the fact that you guys will bottle next season 😂
extending ar-15 and singing gabe vincent just for nothing imagine 😂 💀 😂
Bro what literally the Lakers just got better at depth
How can u call Austin reaves nothing bro has been hooping all season
Even if he played 1 bad series doesn't mean he is nothing
The Lakers literally got better in every category
Straight up hating
Bro calm down he avg like a solid 16 per game
😂
Dang you a casual if you don’t know Ron Harper jr
Ron harper jr. Is the next goat fr🙏
LeBron ready for that barbie movie😂😂😂
Don't make fun of my glorious king james
Cuteness overload
🤮 🤢
ye mna
I believe you
hakeem
Over who?
wilt
100
Bro what💀
100?
100 points in one game
If you're skills are crazy y are u not in the nba
Idc if he played against plumbers thats crazy
Kd at top 4 is a bit high
n o
I dont think so tbh
at the pace
hakeem would have too
best footwork in history
one of the best blockers in history
most versatile center
Bron
Jordan
Kareem
Magic
Duncan
Bird
Russell
Shaq
Kobe
Hakeem
Sup yall
Even if Russell played with plumbers 11 time nba champ
gimme d wade over larry
Bill russ?
What
did i stutter?
Dwade ain't even in the top 10
idk why this order is always argued
Bro said Kobe over Bron😂
Facts
real
im going by rings
ty
Then bill Russell is the goat
Bro
I am not talking about all time
Fr
Im talking about out of the three
What era untalkij about
Oo
That makes sense
Then
Michael jordan, kobe, lebron is the most realistic order
Everything else is bias
In rings yes but all time no
jordan, bron, alex ceruso
Lol
Caruso the goat
And even in all time they stay in that order just not at the top
how to get team role?
Wilt, bill russell, Mj, Kobe, Lebron
nuh uh
Im only putting wilt over bill cause hes more athletic
Im just personally more of a wilt fan
too small for hakeem
Hmm
Anthony Bennett>
Go to the menu here in discord there’s a drop down box in the Server Roles section
puerto rico
idk why
he was good on the jazz
monster in miami
ben wallace or hassan
(highlight reel)
that's biased as well, whatever we're talking about
you know
If i wanted to get a nba jersey like the players wear would i buy a stitched one or a screen printed one?
Yikes
I'm not sure, I just buy whatever looks cool
why would you ask this in IRL hoops?
best jordans to hoop in
What ymca league he play for?
😏
That foot size…looks like he’d be in clown shoes.
Enjoy, that's a fun store
ESPN Sources: The NBA’s Board of Governors has approved the sale of the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin, clearing the way to end Michael Jordan’s 13-year run as majority owner.

Re-Watching LeBron’s first nba game
A FIBA U18 European Championship game in Serbia was completed amid controversy as the Polish and Turkish national teams boycotted the final five minutes of a game in protest, an unprecedented event at the national team level. FIBA says it is investigating https://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/38060715/fiba-investigating-court-conditions-european-u18-game-led-boycott

𝙍𝙀𝙋𝙊𝙍𝙏: Dwight Howard would Like to Play for Lakers Again.

Thoughts on dwight cpuld be the game changer?
Lebrons 5th ring
Those ymca league dads go hard
Lakers Abt to win another ring
Isn't that what they say about every single team that is popular
Yeah but the difference is the Lakers got a good squad
That is definitely what they say about every popular team
are unibrows relevant?
New ESPN story: A different team has been crowned the NBA's champion for five straight seasons – something that's happened one other time in league history.
Is this the NBA's new reality – or just a blip for a league consistently dominated by dynasties?

#SBJGC
2018 was a monster who could only be stopped by both teams
The only team stopped him was the Warriors avengers team
and jr smith
Does Russ deserve the hate
6 in a row this upcoming season when the Knicks hoist the trophy. 😏
#jk #RealisticKnicksFan #LifeOfMisery
who's better all-time? Kobe or Jordan?
It’s close but I say Jordan
If every nba finals loser had a FMVP who would it be starting from 2014
LeBron for like 4 of those
Jerry West is the only one to do it
Y’all might think I’m crazy but 2 of those I don’t have Lebron
Butler probably year they lost to Lakers in Bubble too
J.R. smith the year he grabbed the board and ran backwards.
This is my opinion:
2015-Matthew Dellavedova
2016-Draymond
2017-Kyrie
2018-Lebron
2019-Klay
2020-Butler
2021-Booker
2022-Horford
This is my opinion
I’m not speaking for everyone else
No def not JR
Tyler Herro for 2023 cause he didn’t have a bad game lmao
Anthony Bennett
Kareem, Michael, LeBron, not on any special order.
I absolutely think it’s MJ, but I know everyone’s opinions are different; there’s no “answer”.
Should i start wearing stiched jerseys or keep wearing screen printed ones?
I’ve heard that wearing stiched jerseys is more authentic or something but idk
Free agent G/F Dylan Windler has agreed on a two-way contract with the New York Knicks, agents Andy Shiffman and Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tell ESPN. Windler was the 26th overall pick to Cleveland in the 2019 NBA Draft.
yes
The left one is a screen printed one and the right is a stitched one
Ok but im mainly just asking if i should try to start wearing stiched jerseys instead of screen printed ones
Alr thank you
Free agent G Jared Butler has agreed on a two-way contract with the Washington Wizards, agent Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN. Butler has played with Utah and Oklahoma City in his first two NBA seasons.
no
bro got tired
Dragan bender
Even the warriors city edition was better than the lakers
I'm pretty sure I have a stitched and screen printed, and I haven't noticed much of a difference between them
I am a wnba player on the Las Vegas Aces
Me too!
ok then, name every player in the wnba EVER
Tom Cruise, David Hasslehoff, Peter Brady, Lady Gaga, Steve-o from Jackasss…
Need I continue?
Tom cruise 😭😭😭
Any east olayers tryna add me so I can join east
good job
Bro what
What are you doing step bro?
Stuck
Hot Take: Kyrie Irving is better than Kevin Love
The 2k curse is real.
2k20-Anthony Davis traded to Lakers
2k21-Damian Lillard has requested a trade
2k22-Kevin Durant traded to Suns
2k23-Michael Jordan leaves Hornets
2k24-Does Sabrina leave NY?
That's isn't a hot take
It's obviously that kyrie is better
Exactly
Who’s better in their prime? Westbrook or Rose?
How can Davis being traded to the lakers be considered a curse? Or Durant to the suns?
Westbrook
Do you not know the 2k cover curse?
I do
The whole trade thing
But I want to know why you chose those as the curses for the cover athletes, rather than their injuries
Oh
Now it makes sense
18 lebron
He led a team of bums to the finals
I really didn’t expect them to make the finals that year but he proved me wrong. Still impressed the Pacers managed to take them to 7 games
And Ben simmons is mvp
Its a nba team located in Indianapolis
The worst owner of all time
I don't know, I think the Washington Commanders have that title
No they got the worst team name and are nominated for biggest downgrade of the year
they were better off as Washington Football Team or the Washington Redskins
Nah the university of Hawaii has the worst name
The rainbow warriors
🏳️🌈
NBA or all sports?
All sports
I already mentioned a college and NFL team
I'd say my D-Backs cause they mascot don't fit the team.
Interesting
I would say the Philadelphia flyers since they're mascot is just so random and scary
Gritty literally makes no sense
who has the worst nba mascot
Diamondbacks mascot, D. Baxter the Bobcat
a diamondback is a type of snake, why they aint get a snake?
zach lavine or paul george?
Brandon Miller
Maybe that thing eats snakes? 🤷
Kevin Durant
Pacer P
sounds irrelevant
Who y’all think is a better pick up, kriztaps for the Celtics or Bradley Beal for the suns
Indiana is irrelevant
true
Kriztaps for celtics. If they run him pf n tatum sf they gon have a crazy wing setup
Might run him center fs tho

dang hope broski recovers quickly
BREAKING: Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has agreed to a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension with the franchise, per sources. This is the richest deal in NBA history, negotiated by agent Jason Glushon.
Fully guaranteed, with a trade kicker. No player option.
304 mill for someone who can dribble with only hand
How are you going to pay your third best player more money than the best players to ever play?
Jaylen's got something on them
Nah for Jalen brown a 304M he doesn't deserve that
Madden, FIFA, or MLB the Show?
The 76ers are hiring Mike Longabardi as head coach of the franchise’s Delaware G League affiliate, sources tell ESPN. Longabardi is a 20-year NBA assistant coach.
Days like today make you really value the time we’re given.
giggity giggity goo
Rip bronny
I want Iguodala💪🔥
I keep leaning forward when I shoot how can I fix it
The next QB domino falls: Chargers and Justin Herbert reached agreement today on a landmark five-year, $262.5 million extension that ties him to the franchise through the 2029 season, sources tell me and @Lindseythiry. Deal gets done before Chargers’ first training-camp practice Wednesday.
Damn i was shocked prayers for the james family🙏
He’s alive??
Yes
You guys think this will prevent him from getting into the league?
It’ll be a red flag. But others have played with similar. Even look at Bosh and Alonzo with their kidneys and blood clots. I mean sure they weren’t the same, but they played.
Bosh had some time left in him too, that was unfortunate, and I hated the Heat.
Who’s playing?
Go Yankees!
YESSIR
you have astro in your name eww
Enjoy! My wife and I have been to 2 or 3 games there and always loved it.
I have been known as astromal for 2 years if i would change my name i would have problems with work
I've been to two or three Yankees game. Lit and they won each time
oh whew, gotcha
I mean im 14 im havin a ton of fun
Yeah i do ethical hacking and bug hunting so im known by this name for everything
Staring a franchise, who do you pick if it’s between these 2: Charles Barkley or Karl Malone?
He'll most likely be able to get into the league still but recovery time may vary, depends on how it effected him I guess.
Im praying for him to get back
Yeah, praying that it didn't effect him that bad. 🤞
rip 🙏
Did u hang on there?
Poor hoop😪
nope
its a 3yr old hoop with tons of rust on it so I tried to tomahawk dunk and it broke and I fell 😢😂
he's out of the ICU from what they said
I had a pool hoop and I Michael Jordan half-pool jump dunked on it and it broke 💀
atleast the backboard didnt break so I think I can buy a rim replacement
Ye you can buy a replace hoop
Its pretty cheap ngl
I had a pool hoop and when i went for a 360 windmill dunk the hoop fell on my face 😭😭😂
$50 for one from dicks
Dayum
nahh $90 for a kids hoop
But backboards have crazy prices thou
Fr💀💀💀
It's plastic too 💀
does size matter?
I dunked on my nephew (in the pool) and the hoop flew back and flug forwards into his face 😭
i know like kids to adult rim are different obviously but would any adult rim fit
Let's just say he hasn't wanted to play pool basketball with me since 💀
I love dicks
i wish i knew how to weld
Nah why is there a $250 Spalding rim 😪
Spalding rings are tuff thou
NAHH
Looks clean tho ngl
I just found a hoop on dicks that cost 1900

Nah it's alr
he's out of the ICU so👍
NBA legend Michael Jordan has sold the Charlotte Hornets to a group led by Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin, ending his 17-year run at the helm of the franchise
Guys rate this 'dunk'
the sound 💀
The rim was only 7 1/2 feet high
try putting it higher so you at least have to go on your tippy toes to touch the rim
ohh
your air time was 3.51 seconds tho
idk lol I'm not a dunk professional because ive only dunked like twice on a short hoop
I got unlucky with my genetics and I think it skipped the growing part because I'm 14 and done growing at 4'9 😪
lucky
I was supposed to be 6'3, but I stopped growing randomly
I was supposed to be 9’2 but I fell off a plane and that made me shorter
I was in my mothers belly and I was ordering my genes and I think I forgot to ask for 5'4 or taller
Sending yourself to Jesus
I could stay in the air for longer, but I was trying to making sure I didn't go too far
I also think I jumped too early
Fly yourself into the matrix to visit andrew tate
Bro wants to be curry, lebron, giannis, and muresan all at once
And Nate robinson
For jumping
😂
Is it weird that I'm 6'3 at 14
A little
Im 6’2 at 14
I was 6’7 when I was 4
Short kings 🔛🔝
I'm actually pretty sure it's larger than normal gym hoops, I've noticed that it's a lot easier to make shots on this hoop than indoors
Idk my mom is like 5ft but my dad like 6,6
Jidion is crazy for that💀
daily reminder that mj > lebron
ima girl
In
But it’s good
wrong channel. This is for IRL Hoops
Jidion the goat

Max 6’10
Crazy how Jalen brown has the highest salary in the NBA Even though he is not the best player they're team
He is so good he anklebreaks himself idk what u mean
💀
Bruh that pumpfake against nobody into a missed pass
Bro is the next magic johnson no doubt
Who’s the all time leader for turnovers?
Bron
In my country u can request a doctors appointment to check ur maximum growth if u get ur dna analyzed
Whos gon tell bro 6’13 dont exist
6’13” wild
Fo sho
Bron
Me
🤔
I once got slapped in the face mid game when i got an insane ankle breaker
By the guy whose ankles you broke?
And did you make the shot?
Bro if he god slapped in the face he prob didn't make the shot☠
Florida F Alex Fudge has agreed on a two-way contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, his agent Shayaun Saee of @OneLegacysports tells ESPN.
Alex Fudge
Fudge it all
I figured he got slapped by the guy after he shot it,but okay
Free agent center DeMarcus Cousins has agreed to a one-year deal with the Lakers, agent Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports tells ESPN.

Boogies back on the lakers omg omg
Melo is the most overrated superstar ngl
Random kid in a state tournament and i made the shot while being double teamed
Nice
I'd say that's an A+ experience, maybe even A++ for being double teamed
fact
That was an insane highlight that one play might have gotten me here in america since i got sent here by the euroleague for 3 years
Meant to say 3 weeks
This real?
I reccomend doing box jumps tuck ups and frog jumps thats what i do
Idk, I can only dunk up to 8.5 feet
Jumping on a trampoline as a middle schooler into high school years helped me too, but OFFICIALNAZY is spot-on.
One thing that helped me all the years I was playing ball in school, jump at the hoop, rim, backboard, net… whatever it is you can any chance you can to measure your progress. If I touched net, I went for backboard. Once I was able to touch backboard, I aimed for the spring box at the back of the rim.
I’m just shy of 6 foot and have been since I was 15.
I’m older now, much older. But I was able to dunk at least once a year from when I was 16 all the way up til I was 31. That’s when age and wear and tear caught up to me.
31!? Brotha is a wise old man ngl
Forward Dominick Barlow is returning to the San Antonio Spurs on a two-way contract, Todd Ramasar of @LifeSportsAgncy tells ESPN.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Angels are finalizing a deal to acquire right-hander Lucas Giolito and right-handed reliever Reynaldo Lopez from the Chicago White Sox for catcher Edgar Quero and left-hander Ky Bush, two top prospects, sources tell ESPN.
Why is the basketball guy talking about baseball?
lol
This is irl basketball talk man, ask that in good vibes or make a post in the appropriate lfg channel
Include your build character height overall and all that jazz of you're going the lfg channel route
This is fire🔥🔥🔥
I don't understand flight
Like
Dude starts off good playing against other people
Good shooting form, hitting his shots, everything
But then as the game goes on
He goes back to his old habits of just chucking up random shots
It's like he gives up halfway through
He is even getting training from an NBA trainer
Hello
It’s not all rings
Who flight
this guy
So flight
but yeah
I don't get the guy
starts off games against people playing good irl
then starts being an idiot
Content
wouldn't it be better content now if he started playing good consistently?
It's easier to be a clown
I don't watch him but I'm sorry you feel this way
Hi
To be fair I don't watch him either
As in not him directly
but I recently watched a video where it showed that he's genuinely getting good at his game
only for him to fall apart and go back to chucking bricks
💀😭
Guy named Arenas:
.
Gilbert Arenas
is the only dude
to talk trash to Kobe
and walk away with a win
he first dropped 60 on Kobe
then said he'd drop 35 on him next game
and he drops 37
Gill really got no chill
You think the lakers are gonna extend ad’s contract
Wonder if they will say if it’s vaccine related or not. I think a lot of people share the same curiosity.
Joe mama
It’s crazy how if Cavs won championship in 2018 Derrick Rose would have a ring
Hassan Whiteside
I think the lakers will keep him and use him as a trade asset to get someone like c.wood and an extra
AD
for C. Wood?
That's like trading Michael Jordan for Kwame Brown
you must be on something vicious if you think Christian Wood is anywhere close to value as a player to AD
??? 😭
Hot take = Chris paul off the bench for the warriors will have a bigger impact than jordan poole had in his best year
Also, chris paul wont get punched by draymond
See my banner for the rings on my squad
Chris Paul isn't gonna fit in with the warriors
he is already showing dismissal of leading the bench unit
They would add another player maybe getting a decent point guard is possible
AD ain't going anywhere for that
if they need backup centers they got Jaxson Hayes and Demarcus Cousins now
they already got Russell back plus Gabe Vincent
Demarcus cousins?
When did they sign him?
I aint know about the cousins trade thats on me
boogie woogie
Bro thats a hard one
Woah why is the mod deleting my comment
You’re in the wrong channel
Ask in #🏖good-vibes
Lebron at PG ? I mean Ik he’s a playmaker but can he handle a 94 ft press from MJ ?
Daily reminder pat bev is too small
crazy
Utopia is fire
decent
anyone wanna play 2s on 2k pc
They fr switching up to soccer now
Yessirrr
Kyrie might do that
Crazy
Bro dunkin like he dunkin josh christopher💀💀💀
💀
2K yay the most racist toxic hypocritical game ever known to man! w00t w00t lmao
2K, do you hate white people?
The Portland Trail Blazers are waiving guard Jeenathan Williams, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Williams averaged 10.6 points and 25.3 minutes per game in five contests to finish last season.
Dumb decision shouldve used him as a trade asset
That aint bron thats dj khaled 😂😂😂
Lakers about to retire number 23 and 6 Bron😤😤😤
.
Antetokounmpo chose return to the Bucks over multiple options, including Knicks, sources said. Brothers Giannis and Thanasis, Brook and Robin Lopez all reunited in Milwaukee for next season.
Yall think Grizzlies gonna keep Ja nxt yr?
Yes
no
Yes
Lets logically think okay so ja has been suspended twice and was suspended in playoffs and even without ja they made the playoffs so im expecting a trade because they realized they can survive without him
they're going to say that if Ja was playing, then they'd have made it further
Yeah I think they keep him. he’s a dawg.
NBA sent a memo Friday to all 30 teams about Damian Lillard’s trade request and the stance that he only wants to play in Miami. Reporting details on @TheRally:
⏵ [1]
Ye i mean its just for 25 games anyway
Plus they need an athlethic dude
One of the funniest basketball stories. Former D1 Mens basketball player is confirmed pregnant after drug test… after confusion it was confirmed he used a womans urine to pass his drug test 😂 #basketball
imagine the surprise she got if she dind't know
curry woulda won mvp in the bubble if he didnt have cashiers as his teammates
ima guess you mean 2020-2021 cause he was out the entire of 2019-2020 when the bubble happened and tbh this is a pretty good take
MJ would have won MVP in the bubble if he didn't retire
Read the full memo that the NBA sent to teams regarding trade-related comments focused on Damian Lillard request – at @TheAthletic: https://theathletic.com/4730234/2023/07/28/damian-lillard-memo-trade-request-heat/?source=twitterhq
Mj would’ve done a ton of things like bought a better team than charlotte tbh
The league throwing a fit because Dame wants Miami 😭
nah he'd buy a bad team regardless
meant 2021 mb
he was a dawg when he had cornrows
If he wasn’t seeded so low he prolly would’ve got it
dawg what?
pc runs lmk
Rate the jersey yall shorts still comin in
Its a coincidence cuz i got a new jersey in new jersey
10/10 we love thunder🔥🔥🔥
Dh is replica
I’ve noticed something about sports. LA teams and NY teams
A majority of LA fans root for one team. NBA, most root for Lakers, NFL, Rams, MLB, Dodgers. I wanna know about y’all people in NY. If y’all NBA, are y’all Knicks or Nets fans, Giants or Jets fans, and Yankees or Mets fans?
Don't worry, it'll be the chargers soon
Chargers and Clippers
Idk about clippers
It’s fake lol
Im a Knicks and Yankees fan. Not a fan of either NFL team though.
Most of NYCers and NJers root for a team. Majority root for KNicks, some for Nets. I root for the Bulls. Dunno how many root for which teams, but I root for Giants and Yankees
I root for the sonics even if they don't exist anymore
They might be coming back
Which seattle probably has
If the nba expands again its gonna be seattle and Vegas
Well not technically thunder rebranded
So the name can be adopted
It would be a new sonics yes
Which doesn't matter cause that history is thunder history now
Not supersonics anymore
And why seattle is such a good market
Why they have an amazing NHL team
Harden is washed he's an all star now
Not an mvp
At least they'd have a centerpiece
For about 4 years
What the kd 15 or gold medal kd 15
I feel like seattle would get some nice pieces from a expansion draft
Build value and trade
I meant shoes
He aint horrible tho jordan poole is horrible
Nah dillion brooks is horrible
What team u for andro
Same can be said about lebron
Same
But u cant say okc kd was bad
Yh def
No 7'5 guy stayed healthy their whole career
Name one
Name one player

What does a majority of NY say?
I don’t think he was correcting you kiddo, moreso just informing the people involved in the convo that both have their names spelled different.
Hello guys
JorGOAT
Probably because Scottie is an above average role player
Barely an all star
Watchout, Lebron fans gonna come
Ik and I’m ready for it
Scottie averaged over 20 once in his career😭 he good but overrated asf
Scottie wasn’t even that much better at everything else
Averaged like 2 more rebounds 1-2 more assists
And Jordan was arguably just as good at perimeter D
Wrong
real
I’m not saying he bad
??
Notice how 2 were years Jordan was gone.
My point was with Jordan he never averaged over 20
Besides 2 times
Then Jordan comes back they go 72-10
Scottie was a playmaker
What
He averaged over 6 assists like 2 years
That’s not any better than Jordan
And he’s a “ball hog”
Fr
Playmaking doesn't necessarily mean getting assists
I don’t think anybody loved passing the ball besides a handful of people
Some just did because they weren’t the best at scoring
And just because you don’t love passing the ball doesn’t make you a ballhog
MJ was a ball hog
Him being a ball hog is why he was so successful
Of course Stockton was a passer
You think a 6’0 white dude in an era where driving was popular is gonna average 30
Shooting 👍
He was a solid shooter but shooting wasn’t as popular as it is now
Still a great way to score
If he played now he’d probably shoot more but like I said it wasn’t the style so he probably didn’t think about shooting as much
He also played with Malone too
So that’s prob one of the main reasons he didn’t shoot as much
Either way, even MJ acknowledges how important Scottie was to winning
Important enough to be top 5 or 10 of his era
He’s like 11 or 12 only because of Jordan
Jordan unlocked his potential but Scottie had that potential
that was MJ when he came back from baseball
James harden with and without
How I get rid of a big man
I wanna do this little pump fake thing Yknow into a post spin move
Watchu think
Good luck
Idk what it’s called but it’s something like that
I don't know what you are describing, but have fun
Thx bro, ima work on it
I recommend just running around and tiring the big man if possible
That’s not a bad idea
Generally big men are not very fast or athletic, and it's easy to get past them
Just watch out for a chasedown block
Those be dangerous
Also if you are trying to guard a big man as a smaller player, make sure to stand tall and make them exert as much energy as possible. In addition, try to go for steals, especially as they attempt to back you down
Pull a chair
or low blow them when refs aren't looking
See thats a fair argument
ya without getting caught tho
jumping on box
I can dunk on 8.5 foot rims, but after that I can't
I can jump higher, I just can't get the ball in
give yo height to me
i would be touching top of the backboard
real talk
i’m touching mid net at 5’4
5 4
