Besides the warriors, when was the last time when a team was favored to win the championship(before the preseason) and actually won the chip?
Prime Rudy gobert or prime brook Lopez
just defensively or offensively too?
yoo

The bubble team?
Idk why people put so much into whoās favored or not⦠thatās really only for people who gamble

The NBA is suspending free agent guard Josh Primo for four games for what it will term as "conduct detrimental," sources tell ESPN. The Spurs waived Primo a year ago.
Primo allegedly exposed himself to women in multiple instances, sources told ESPN. Primo would serve the suspension upon signing with a new team. Primo, 20, was the 12th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

The most Josh Primo thing ever.
Get him out the League he not good thought he was

Nah let him cook
This Dame Giannis duo is going to be scary. If they play to their best abilities and Middleton adds in 18-20 a game, I can definitely see the Lakers in 4

Primo underwent evaluation with specialists who consult with the Clippers and the organization is comfortable giving him this opportunity. The NBA suspended Primo for four games Friday after a probe found that he had āengaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior by exposing himself to women.ā

How was this dude a 1st round pick š
Waive him at this point
No its too late bro
Never seen this tweet
kobe always been spittin
that shi actually makes me surprised since he won that chip with only kyrie
Dudes in denial
Those role players were perfect that year. Shumpert who wasnāt an offensive machine, was able to focus on locking up Klay with his top-tier defense. Dellanova could give Kyrie a break and come in and cover Steph. Love was that box out freak on the boards who could stretch and be ready for knockouts when everyone covered Lbj and Kyrie on drives. It was a great mesh of teammates to cripple that Warriors amazing year.
And JR donāt have any bonehead plays that series lol like his offensive rebound and bring it back out to half court the following years.
man that actually be fire
i mean they did give the warriors 3 games so it couldnāt have been that perfect
it was a good team donāt get me wrong but the glazing is crazy
The Celtics are trading Robert Williams, Malcolm Brogdon, 2024 GSW 1st, 2029 unprotected BOS first to the Blazers, sources tell ESPN.
The Celtics were among the teams at very top of Holiday's wish list in recent days and expectation is Celtics are eager to retain him long-term, sources said. Holiday has a year left on deal. Boston beat out several teams in both conferences with a significant trade package.
that's crazy ngl

Final tally on Lillard trade: Portland gets Deandre Ayton, Robert Williams, Malcolm Brogdon, Toumani Camara, three first-round picks 2024 (Golden State, Top-4 protected), 2029 (Bucks and Celtics unprotected) and 2028 and 2030 Milwaukee pick swaps.
That's the current tally on Lillard trade, anyway: Portland plans to keep Robert Williams to pair with Deandre Ayton, sources say, but there has certainly been interest in veteran Malcolm Brogdon and expect teams will be calling on him. Blazers are committed to young guards.

ESPN story on the Celtics landing All-Star guard Jrue Holiday in a blockbuster trade https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38538353/sources-celtics-add-jrue-holiday-trade-blazers
nahhhhh
They got ayton, Williams, and brogdon and lots of first round picks
All for a aging dame
they only got 2 picks
Two picks and a promising core is a win for a 34 year old dame
true
They fleece the Celtics
Scoot, sharpe, simmions, Williams, ayton is already a solid core to build up and plus they have brogdon
@restive gyro didnāt they also have the bucks picks
On top of the Celtics one
They won the trade long term imho
Exactly
TURBO
5 good rebuilding players and 4 picks for dame is fleecing
People just are too casual to know about it
They still kept sharpe and Simmons
Get rid of nurkic who has been injury prone for them

Free agent F/C Wenyen Gabriel is finalizing a deal with the Boston Celtics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Gabriel, who averaged 5.5 PPG and 4.2 RPG for Lakers last season, will compete for a reserve big man spot in Boston.
Free agent 7 footer Wenyen Gabriel has agreed to a training camp deal with the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN.
Free agent G Skylar Mays is returning to the Portland Trail Blazers on a two-way contract, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports tells ESPN.
Thoughts on Portland? I say it takes a few years for chemistry to build and one of their guards/forwards leaves due to money. Either Simons or Sharpe⦠š¤
portland is falling apart
They alr got a good starting 5
As for the Celtics⦠KP stretches the floor at the 5 (something Rob Williams wasnāt known for) and is much taller as a presence in the paint, yet RW has a special talent when it comes to timing a block attempt that I believe makes up for the size difference. Al may be considered āoldā but letās not forget his defensive masterclass on display against the MVP Embiid last year in playoffs. My concern with last years Cās team, they settle way too much for 5-Out perimeter shots with little to no off ball movement (even against Miamiās 2-3 zone š¤¦āāļø instead of a 1-3-1 to attack the gaps). This works well against man defense when their shots are falling. That wasnāt the case last year when Brogdan injured his arm, negating his lights out shooting. Losing Smart hurts their defense, but Smart has been inconsistent from the perimeter. Letās also remember what happened when Smart met Holiday in the ECF a few years back. So it appears as though theyāre sticking with their offensive approach of 5-Out perimeter-centric shooters while JT & JB iso (fun to watch š«¤), while relying on proven veteran leadership on the defensive end. They say defense wins championships š¤
You can read?
Yes lil bro
Bro is not cool š

But I see you aināt got nothing better to do than troll so Iāll leave you be under your bridge š§
Cringe asl
Now back to irl hoops talk
Bro watchers baddie comebacks
I like jrue to the Celtics
Iāll pray for you kiddo. Life will get better for you.
I think itās a big change from Smart but Iām interested to see how it impacts the locker room.
Maturity and championship experience may be the biggest factors
Jrue has experience and I think heās an energy guy doesnāt need to talk much but will do what he needs to do
I think this roster change could set the floor for Tatum to take that leadership role
Interesting evaluation. I can see what youāre saying.
When Tatum became a facilitator under Udoka, they almost won it all.
What yall think about Dallas? Or the Suns?
Is this when Marcus knew�
He tried the blow-by animation into a half court trap šŖ¤
I just realized something⦠they traded Horford away only to get him back. What are the odds Rob Williams returns to the Celtics? š¤
I feel like Dallas has kinda maxed out with Luka they need to get a better team to have around Luka like their team is just a bunch of cones tbh
Suns will be nice interested to see how Bradley Beal will fit in to an already ball dominant team
Suns seemed to have such a deep, talented team when they went to the finals just a few years ago. Talk about blowing it up š¤Æ
For the better tho
Out of curiosity, do you have any numbers that can validate that claim?
Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet broke a big toe is expected to be sidelined two-to-four weeks, sources tell ESPN.
"a big toe"
If weāre comparing individual players, then yes. They have two players whose overall could be considered an improvement. But in a team sense, theyāve taken a huge step backwards in my opinion.
edited it cuz why not (clock is edited)
bucks in 7
i hope to god they match up in the playoffs tho thatd be one of the best series of all time
Provided theyāre all healthy
I doubt that
Did you watch him shut down Embiid? KP was the known as a SF on NYK⦠granted he bulked up but Horford has played way better at Interior Defense.
I would have Horford guard Giannis and put KP on Lopez since their game is identical.
Maybe use KP for the jump ball.
horford one of the best giannis defenders in the league and dame literally played his worst when guarded by jrue
giannis is scary in the paint
i can rly see that series going either way
we just signed a new center today
makur maker
thon ain't even in the nba anymore he playing in china
thon maker is the creator of basketball so makur might have insider info no one else does
makur is 6'10
undrafted too
i didn't even realize thon is his cousin
or im trippin
how many makers are there š
that og dick duo gonna go insane
honestly idk what the starting lineup is gonna be
i have a feeling it's gonna be dennis, either og or gtj at the 2, scottie at the three, pascal at the four and jakob at the five
i still think to this day kawhi shouldve just stayed in toronto
but nah he wanted to go hollywood and be the kING oF lA
Question it doesnāt show the contest for anyone except when I shoot. Is this something they added or is there a setting I have off by accident
cause he's from la
lol
but he disappointed his hometown by not winning a championship for them

Hot Take: Portland won the Dame Lillard Trade

Serious question:
If MJ never retires the first time, do the Rockets win those two chips?
Hello

yea but it is what it is knowing the raptors history i would rather got outbidded
no stars would want to stay at the north
debo was different but other ones leaves after a season
the only reason no one wants to play for the raptors cause canada has taxes
so when they get paid, the taxes hit

there was a vid brian sutterer made about it when it happened and how surgery would prolly fix it

or was the defender really good
Who else got that big Knick energy? Just me?
Need 2 people a big and lock for rec 4 waiting
can someone put a video of someone getting stuned by a pass irl
I mean its not entirely realistic but they gotta nerf it somehow, Way too easy in previous years to play multiple people with how big players are on the court. They could just Shrink player size overall or make the court bigger for REC and Pro Am reasonings, but they won't
i feel you but if they want to make a realistic game every aspect should be realistic no?
Sure, but there is a lot of moments that IRL players are ball watching or helping on Defense and get dotted, they have almost zero time to react to that and play defense on the shooter, in 2K terms you can nearly always get back to your shooter to defend him even if ball watching sometimes @fair edge
So its a realistic way, to penalize you helping or ball watching like people IRL
thats because your not allowed to jump on a defender at the 3pt line like they do in 2k they just gotta make a better game
Well, now in 2k if you also jump a shooting more than likely you're fouling him for 3 also and or landing on him, Just trying to balance it anyway they can.
It's annoying for sure, but don't play so far off then.
you wanna see a clip of someone peoples elbowing me and dont get a foul called on him lol
no i do not

Joel Embiid, the NBAās reigning Most Valuable Player, has committed to play for Team USA at the Paris 2024 Olympics, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Embiid informed Team USA executive director Grant Hill of his decision on Thursday morning, sources said, just days after the two quietly met for close to an hour in Ft Collins, Colo., where the Sixers are holding training camp.
Embiid, who was born in Cameroon and holds both French and American citizenship, has been at the center of an intense recruiting battle over which country he will represent at the Olympics.
He ultimately chose to represent the United States, sources said, because he wants to help the United States return to the top of the international basketball world after it failed to medal at the World Championships in Manila this summer.
Philadelphia 76ers and reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid has decided to play Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Embiid decided among USA, France and Cameroon.
Embiid gave his decision to USA Basketball managing director Grant Hill in person in Fort Collins, Colorado, and now helps lead Team USA at 2024 Olympics along with expected commitments from LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, among others.

She act like employers give us a two week notice or something
What yall think they name the team?
Since he got injured
Cp3 as an offensive lineman is crazy
I wouldn't be surprised if they were also called the warriors
I love when sports teams donāt have an āsā at the end. Like Magic or Jazz.
Or lightning ā”ļø
Fun fact, every NFL team name ends in s
All of this just to lose to Canada and get a bronze medal again
Fun fact: The sports teams with numbers in their name add up to 13.
76ers
49ers
Fun fact: remember those commercials about how everything about the NBA is owned by them and can't be used without consent? What that also means is that you technically aren't allowed to talk about the game with anyone, even if its just a conversation with a friend
Weāre talking abt basketball
76ers are basketball

Why would you do that to yourself?
I reversed his career
So he starts with the lakers
But like
He ends up getting a 71-11 record right
but guess what
He isnāt a 1st seed
Heās a second seed
Which team was he on?
The Mavs where a first seed
I accidentally created the most OP super team of all time
Kevin Garnett,Gilbert Arenas,Dirk Nowitzki,Jason Kidd
All in their prime
On one team
If Lebron and Kobe and Shaq can beat this
Iāll be shocked
Avengers level threat š
I mean, that lakers team is too
Not as much as that
I mean
Itās a 34 year old Shaq
plus Kobe and a second season Lebron
Vs prime Dirk and Kevin Garnett and Gilbert Arenas
Plus Jason Kidd
Thatās crazy
rawr
Ayo?
Shaq really was that old?
Yeah
I didn't realize that
Iām in the off-season rn
Shaq left for San Antonio
He wouldāve left for Miami this year anyway
so itās fine
Kobe and Lebron better clutch
Tim Duncan
Shaq
Tony Parker
Jermaine O Neal
Steve Nash
To many super teams
I gotta stop this
Dwayne Wade went to the Mavs
Dwayne Wade + Dirk Nowitzki + Kevin Garnett + Gilbert Arenas + Jason Kidd
šš
Shaquille OāNeal + Tim Duncan + Tony Parker + Manu Ginobli + Jermaine OāNeal

They had 55 Wins
The Rockets has 59 Wins as a 3 seed
The Spurs had 71 wins as a second seed

Does anyone know when NBA league pass comes out?
They start being sent today. Those who set everything up before today should get theirs before Tuesday if all works as it was described in the FAQ.
I set up on release day and havenāt got anything
Then re-read what I said.
I got an offer
Trying to watch per season tomorrow I bought the game on the first pre-order today and played it on release day. Why am I waiting?
It could be any technical issue, or a lot of people got their setups done on release day.
Seems like nobody has got a code so hurry up
We supposed to pay tax on the league pass sub?
If your not a fan of KOBE BEAN BRYANT you should be a fan. HE IS BETTER THAN LEBRON AND MJ HE'S THE GOAT
Shut up š
He doesnāt pass
In what ways is he better than either
Shooting on both
Better driver then both
Better fades then both
Better dunker then Lebron
Better fades than mj?
Iām not saying Kobe is a bad player at all but Kobe is a MJ fan all his moves are MJās
And Kobe shot 44% from field goal his whole career and Jordan shot 49%
As biggest kobe fan, I have no problem that someone picks mj. They are both better in certain things
Iām not saying Kobe isnāt great but Jordan and Lebron are top 2 all time wherever you put them I donāt see Kobe better than those 2
I cannot put lebron over kobe
The finals record is abysmal
You canāt just look at finals appearances
I don't
How about every other aspect
It's a preference thing, his in the top 6
LeBron likes to control everything, I think it would be very interesting to see LeBron in a triangle offence.
Then?
Kobe is properly rated
NO MAN
For some people yes.
People say KD is better then the Black Mamba
Yes bro Kobe is a great player and we all know that and thatās how heās rated as a great player
Kareem is better than Kobe my friend
Your top 2 is, mj & lebron?
I agree.
Kareem is not better then mamba
Personally mj then Lebron
when u think abt it lebron aint even that good
your twelve?!?!??!?!
6 champs and 6 finals mvps scoring record for 40 years thatās all Iām saying
Underaged man
Cool story
ur sayign kareem is better bc kobe is underrated like I said
Iām not dissing Kobe at all but your claims arenāt true
Mj career average is 30 ppg
Kobe is 25
But Kobe Is The Black Mamba And MJ Is Just Jumpman
All Mj rlly did in his career were the buzzer beaters and free throw dunk
It doesnāt matter nicknames
And mj was way more than all that
Jordanās nickname was black jesus
lol
kobe is top 5 imo donāt he delusional
Yāall
Everything he rlly did was tht while Kobe had a 15-1 run in the playoffs with the most high scoring games in nba history along with Chips, Mvp's, DPOY, and All NBA teams
I got an offer at 13
for what
Basketball
where
college?
ok
so
Still in 8th
youngin
You can get high school offers?
i guess
Itās alright donāt really need to see
To late
lol
6 MVPs and 6 Championships
true
Thatās what I said but Ig Kobe is the goat lol
And saying heās underrated is crazy lol
I mean
in totality
I would say heās at least slightly underrated
Because people constantly have him at 8-10
Which i canāt get
What players do you think are better than Kobe?
lebron mj kareem
and maybe tim Duncan
How about Shaq
Shaq had 2 moves. 1, Throw elbow at face. 2, Dunk when they backed up to save their own life
Shaq is a traditional center and for his time thats what they had to do not throw elbow but play in the post
Just pure dominance
Yes indeed
Need someone to help me to get into rise I can shoot Also a 91 overall
Thatās in #šmycareer
Thank you
Np
Tim Duncan is top 5 easily
Yāall think Isiah Thomas is top 15 all time?
Not only that
Is he a top 3 PG of all time?
ššš
in my opinion he is
Magic, Johnson, Steph, Curry, Oscar Robertson
finally someone giving oscar respect
like to see it
Isiah is the 3rd best point guard to me
Who else is in that convo
Big O
nobody else
john stockton
does jerry west count
Wasnāt he a shooting guard?
West was a sg
he was both
Most of his career he was sg
1: Magicā Curry
2: Curryā Magic
3: Isiah
4: Big O
5: Stockton
he was PG mostly actually
magic is better than curry
stop it
I guess he was a pg
Magic had already had Kareem at the start of his career
but besides that i agree
He literally had the best player in the league in his team
Magic was better mostly
Then he proceeded to get James Worthy
Curry started from the bottom
He didnāt get his main players till later
ok buddy
he was 24
when they started competing
Curry brought a terrible team to 4 NBA championships
Magic brought a team with the best player in the league to 5 championships
Thereās levels
Magic is a better traditional point guard
I agree
but as a overall player
^
curry is really just a 3 shooter and layup guy
no sense of D
Iād have to think about it but like career wise I think magic has the better career
magic on the other hand was the traditional pg for his time
but no one shot 3s then so no one cared
Stockton was the best pure PG. Hence the all-time Assits and Steals leader.
Curryās a ok defender
stockton was just karl malone's assist toy
i wouldn't put his defense up there with magic's though
I wouldnāt put Magics 3 pointers up with curry
see the argument
obviously yes
Stockton was a great pg but itās the fact he does have enough hardware
We gonna act like Curry doesnāt have a top 5 handles of all time
will we eliminate his range of 1.05 miles too?
Also we aināt gonna act like he is the only player to beat Lebron like 5 times
Magic literally got lucky for his 5th championship against the pistons. Isiah got injured and the refs where garbage
Irving Iverson Crawford my top 3 nba ball handlers
The healthy Pistons literally swept them the year after
š
yea then enter michael jordan late 80s aka '88-89
wow okay
Iām just saying. Magic got lucky
Isiah literally got injured
plus the refs where bias
ufc champion detroit pistons handed him
Because nobody liked the pistons
no one ever has
no one ever will
it was isiah then idk, hamilton and billups in the 2000s?
People from Detroit going to hate you for thatš
beat kobe and shaq in like 02 then just disappeared
they can come fly to san antonio and fight me then
šš
Detroit literally stopped the lakers dynasty
TWICE
they stopped the lakers dynasty twice
š
They beat Magic. Then they beat Kobe and Shaq
Thatās the bad boy pistons though they manhandled a lot of teams
The going to work pistons man handled Shaq and Kobe
yeah this was a 'make you feel like you were in a car crash after the game' typa team
We gonna forget Kobe and Shaq had Karl Malone and Gary Payton toš
Big Ben Wallace
old man karl and old man gary
didnt gary prime in seattle in like 94
Karl and Payton were way out of prime
Karl Malone didnāt think he was to old for that 13 year old
šš
ok buddy
u good
Karl was great on court I wonāt say anything off court
karl was one year from retirement in 02 i think
and gp played until 04 iirc
or earlier
idk
or even later
Not to the level they were at in that point in their career
i know but they were basically grampa karl and grampsy gary
Even at 36 years old they still were good
They obviously arenāt like all stars
Karl was dropping like roleplaying number with The Lakers
He was averaging 13,9 and 4
He was averaging a double double
He wasnāt like Isaiah Thomas level washed š
And Clint Capela averages 12 and 11
And Karl also brought bad energy to the locker room
Iām fighting the urge to make so many jokes rn
But nah
Imma just chill
Anyone have any debatable takes?
Hmmm
An all time pistons team can go toe to toe with anyone
Because of pure defense
There is no NBA team in history that has better defense than the pistons
The 89-90 Pistons and 03-04 Pistons
Both are the greatest defensive teams of all time
Nobody comes close
Whatās the starting 5 for pistons
Hmmm
PG: Isiah Thomas
SG: Joe Dumars
SF: Grant Hill
PF: Dennis Rodman
C: Ben Wallace
6M: Chauncey Billups
Crazy
The defense on this team would be crazy
The offense wouldnāt be horrible either
All time warriors might be able to win that
I say might because they are kinda undersized in some positions
PG: Stephen Curry
SG: Klay Thompson
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Draymond Green
C: Wilt Chamberlain
Ben Wallace was shutting down a lakers Shaq
He was also shutting down Miami Shaq
Wilt chamberlain is a freak athlete
He was also averaging 4 blocks with 10 points and 13 Rebounds
Was
Prime Dennis Rodman + Prime Ben Wallace
Golden State aināt getting no rebounds
Why wilt got 55 rebounds in a game
He played against Mailmen
Expect like 6 players
Lakers:
Pg: magic
Sg: kobe š
Sf: bron
Pf: shaq
C: kareem
Wilt also had to go ring chasing to win. Bill Russell owned him
Anyone can grab a rebound
Literally cld be an all time nba team by itself
Youāre delusional if you think Golden State is getting rebounds over Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman in their prime
Wilt is not Superman
š
Ben Wallace is under sized at the center wilt is 7ā3 lifting weights with Arnold Schwarzenegger
Still. One of the greatest rebounders of all time
So is wilt
He was averaging 19 rebounds with Detroit
Wilt averaged 22.9 his whole career
Wilt played against Walmart employees
š
Thatās not the point the point is he could jump and grab rebounds and rack up points youāre acting like wilt is 6ft
Heās 7ft 3 with an insane vertical
Wilt was 7 foot playing in a era with 5,7 guys
Dennis Rodman was grabbing rebounds over Bill Walton
Thereās levels
Dennis Rodman is the greatest rebounder of all time
Theirs no debate
Even on Detroit he was averaging 19+ Rebounds
I agree with rodman but draymond is also an elite defender
Rodman is an elite defender
And rodman isnāt guarding wilt
so is Ben Wallace
Ben Wallace will
Ben Wallace won 4 DPOYs and was shutting down Lakers Shaq
Wallace whose 6ft 9 is locking up wilt whose a 7ft 3 freak athlete
But how about curry
Thomas barely guarded anyone at perimeter
Whose guarding durant?
Hold on, important question. Which era rules y'all going by?
I.E., Hand-checking or no?
Iām not sure what era
Grant Hill was a good defender
I could switch out Grant Hill for Bill Laimbeer
Good enough to guard Kevin durant who can score from anywhere
KD might be a problem
Laimbeer was a center
But other that that
Joe Dumars has him
š
The Pistons are all locking up everyone
Expect maybe Grant Hill on KD
but thatās it
Pistons are averaging 9 blocks with 26 rebounds
How when they have next to no perimeter defence experience
Golden State isnāt getting past 80 points
And the dribble style of todays game
hate to say it, but that pistons team has zero post scoring
Warriors all day
don't even have to guard Rodman and Wallace
Rodman and Wallace arenāt there to score
Just to get rebounds and blocks
Grant Hill and Joe Dumars can score
Isiah can score to
Nate thrummond also for warriors
Actually Iām a raptors fan lol
I'm aware. But that means you can double the others off either one
What?
