wizards got an another big man
Come on warriors
Finally
they have no cap space
We just got rid of cp3 and likely klay
What more could we do
still cp3 counts against the salary cap
he was guaranteed 30m and then u got draymond and curry taking up over 50% of their cap space
I thought it would've been guaranteed after today
yeah it doesn't effect the hard cap so they can still offer a MLE but don't think they have the ability to offer a max

Oh wow
Definitely did not see that coming
Theyāve only been talking non stop how heās going to the 76rs since yesterday
I canāt tell if Iām happy or not
Iād be happy played well on the clippers every time Kawhi went down
212 mill is a bit much tho
And you get another person who chokes every April-June
He wasnāt gonna come for cheap and we have the cap space
Embiid didnāt play that bad these playoffs he was just injured (like usual)
Well this time you get a fully healthy choker

He didnāt play that bad last playoffs
Definitely canāt blame him for the clippers losing
Yea that first round series was decent
It wasnāt all on him
They definitely couldāve won it
But the mavs played better and wanted it more
At least PG will be ready when Joel goes down
Joel when healthy is a great player tho
His problem is being healthy
100% mvp caliber player
Iām okay with him being injured in the regular season if it means we get a healthy embiid playoff time
Iām still curious who we gonna sign still
Since we need atleast a wing 3 and D
I donāt think there is such a thing as a āhealthy embidā in the playoffs
One of these days weāll see it
At this point he is gonna struck by lightning before entering the arena
Re-signing oubre was a great decision
We got a new backup center which has been what we been needing
Love Paul reed but heās not a center
76rs have had an amazing free agency
Heās a PF heās got the height and athleticism for it
Surprisingly
Looking like a real threat to win the title
Itās all about health at this point
Get to praying
If we have a healthy team like embiid isnāt injured doesnāt get injured pg is here not on his weak knees and Maxey is playing the ball we saw last year we are contenders
I saw lots of people complain about Maxeys MIP
Yea it probably could have one to Coby but itās an MIP I really donāt think anyone needs to care
Heās the only person who had a fight but as much as I loved how Coby played I feel like Maxey did it with more pressure
We havenāt expected much from the bulls in yearrrrsssssss
True and probably wonāt expect anything from them for even more years
Yeah donāt know what that Caruso trade was
If he was that cheap sixers couldāve just traded a cookie for him
Still donāt know how to feel Iām ehh about it but canāt be worse than Tobias Harris right?
Right?
Seeing Tobias Harris gives me flashbacks
Thankfully heās gone
Was Eric Gordon a good pickup havenāt been watching much phoenix ball ina minute
no
Heās washed
Havenāt heard of him since he was on the clippers
If we signed him we gotta have been thinking something
Oh I see heās a decent 3pt shooter
Needed
does anyone here have experience with gt cut 1
Rip kawhi x pg
2019-2024
Idk if this the right place but I'm new to nba and 2k24 but when I try making a my player after I get to the screen where I can chose what I'm good at it won't let me continue to the next screen I'm on a ps4

they have paul reed, drummond seemed unnecessary. unless you play big with reed at 4 and drum at 5
not the mavs saying resigning him was priority 1A and 1B and then letting him go and signing naji marshall for 3 million less. like ????
losing KCP is a big loss for Nuggets. if i'm them I look to make moves asap. lonnie, vassel, keldon, gary trent, etc to fill that starting SG spot
We get out rebounded a lot when embiid isnāt on the floor itās why we picked up Drummond reed is more suitable for the 4
paul reed has always been a 4 he's too small to play the 5
and they stacking depth for embids inevitable injuries
Klay Thompson intends to join the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell @āTheAthletic @āStadium.
yes please do that
happy it was the mavs
Wait wasnāt he just with themš
So we traded took him and then they took him backšššš
last year
They just got worse
They added someone who shouldnāt even be in the league
good point yeah
Is the best thing we can do rnš¤·
feel like the 6ers have been doing a heap of great moves
really only hield left to bring back or extend
Swear he didnāt have enough time to adjust last year and we traded picks for him soš¤·
Bring him back or sign another good role player
?
The lakers need someone
Demar Derozan
klay going mavs
he resigned max but thats it
Yes
i would like it but he would want a lot of money
val went wizards for a steal, underpaid imo
werent those 2 who lakers were trying to get?
Yes
klay and val, sadly yes
Last choice
its this or bron supermax
Thatās a bad choice
Lebron wants another good player and if yall canāt sign one best choice is trade for one
And yāall need the space in case of a trade
demar and lebron at the same time on the court? i dont see it
with what assets
Why not
bron at the 4 damar at the 3
easy
Austin reaves, Rui, Dlo, picks, Dalton, half the team
just spacing, plus demar is a ball having player. like hes an iso scorer, post up
dalton is staying, rui needs a bit more time imo
dlo and picks can get traded maybe even vando but idk
They arenāt trading reaves
yea jj said he was ready to coach reaves
trade only and a big if, gabe vincent, vando. but then what do you get from that...
Damn man
2 2nd round picks and lebron leg juice
Like why did klay go to the mavs
lol
Klay wanted the bag
i did not want that man on the lakers
Mavs was the only people willing to offer a real bag
malik beasly 2.0
Klay and Dlo god that sound terrifying
Yea but we need someone
Just as bad as THJ and Tobias Harris
3 year, 50 mill. werent the warriors offering more??
probably but klay wanted a new challenge
Their connection was also pretty bad
Klay has beef with the warriors gm thatās the reason why he left
thats fine. just dont say you feel "disrespected" by the offer
Money wasnāt the issue
And they probably didnāt offer that much
Warriors and Klay have been bad since last season everyone knew this was probably Klays last season with gsw
Free agent De'Anthony Melton plans to sign a one-year, $12.8 million deal with the Golden State Warriors, sources tell @āTheAthletic @āStadium.
Exactly what do we get out of this
why
Uhm well bye man
It was nice having you I guess
hes super underrated imo. real 3 and d pg
You were too injured for us
just injured last year
No definitely a hooper when on the court the problem was when on the court
He was never on
Free agent guard Aaron Holiday plans to sign a two-year, $10 million deal to stay with the Houston Rockets, sources tell @āTheAthletic @āStadium. Holiday played 78 games as a reserve guard for Rockets' turnaround season last year.
yeah
need nuggets to wake up. where the moves at. even if its bringing bruce brown back
I also kinda knew it was his last season with us
He just wasnāt there and we needed more thatās why we traded for pgās
maxey, mccain, cam payne and then prob hield is nice
then PG, oubre, embiid, reed, drumm
If we get hield back it works and if we sign that new rookie we drafted
Adem bona
He could play pf or backup something
Next season y'all gonna regret trolling Klay š¤š¼š„
Got 2 of the best pgs around him
Klay to the mavs ššš½
he can play the 3
a second round pick
Klay will be dookie at the 3 šš
nah he played it a good bit
i'm not a mavs fan so idc
They need role players who can actually shoot
Klay is gonna play a THJ type role
But betyer
nah he prolly gonna start at the 3
he's the same size as josh green who started at the 3
Wild bro, buh does that mean the mavs could do a 2 peat?
Depends on Luka condition
was it a good joice by the nets to trade away mikal bridges?

Terry Johnson šš¤¦
Cam Payne
Irrelevant bro was cold on the suns
Barely avaraged 11 ppg
He inconsistent with his stats
yall think he still relevant?
he had a solid run with the pistons just nobody saw it cuz it's the pistons lmao
im a pacers fan I donāt think heāll play this season too much but assuming Isaiah Jackson asks for an overpay I think heāll walk at the end of the season and wiseman will get one more prove it year in 2025-2026
And heās cheap
If wiseman ends up being solid heāll be our Myles Turner replacement they have similar play styles
Adjusted on Gary Harris contract, per source: two-years, $15 million
Zydrunas Ilgauskas
they do not have similar play styles lmao, myles turner is a 3pt defensive menace, james wiseman is a rebounder with some athleticism who has only made 16 3s in his entire career
Free agent guard Monte Morris plans to sign a deal with the Phoenix Suns, sources tell @āTheAthletic @āStadium. Suns lock in a reliable point guard entering his eighth NBA season. Morris has averaged 10 points, 39% 3-point shooting and 3.8 assists over career.
So sixers signed pg and that was it for our offseasonš
Morey really said pg, Drummond, Gordon, and Oubre should be enough
I mean you only have so much cap space
They got 3 max guys now
Donāt get me wrong I understand but like youāre telling me no news of us doing anything or attempting anything
Sixers signed a 34 year when they could of got a younger talented team instead they want old players
Iām pretty sure our original plan was try to get mikal then ny did it so we didnāt have much options
I give it 2 seasons and PG asking for a trade š
He might he might notš¤·
Could always sign g league players and develop them
That takes time and embiids not getting younger or less injury prone we wanna win now not later
Tyrese is y'all's only young talented player besides embiid
Jared McCain might be next if we develop him right
Embiid get old that's why y'all need young players surrounding Tyrese
Jared too focused on being a titkok superstar
Kinda
Jared is gonna be assigned to the g league š
Weād probably do that with Adem bona not Jared
Wolves had the best draft and had only 1 pick
Shannon and Rob with ant is gonna be crazy
Shannon can replace Mike
Kinda they definitely robbed the spurs tho
Rob can come off the bench or get PG minutes
Spurs got robbed of doing something with rob and wemby
Cp3 is still a good playmaker and can mentor younger players on that team
Yea but when he's gone who's gonna step up at pg
Keldon?
Il be surprised if keldon stays another year
They just picked someone up I forgot who it was
But they drafted someone else
Stephon castle can play the point for them
Pop will make it work
Stephon will be the best out of this class
Maybe
Depends how they develop him
Ehh
That sneaky lakers pickup was pretty good
If they get rid of Robert for a better big man not just size like claxton they could be dangerous
I wouldnāt say the wolves won the draft did they get a great pickup yes
Have KAT at PF Naz REID at PF Jaden at SF ant at sg and Shannon or Rob at pg that's a deadly roster
Jaden already proved he could be a x factor
And his defense is gonna get alot better
We still havenāt seen any of these rookies on the court they still have to learn the difference in how the game shifts from college to the league
This wasnāt a amazing draft class but it was definitely a nice balanced class
Shannon's good defensively and offensively
Obviously I give them a year to transfer their skill to the NBA
Zach edy at 9 is insane though
Grizzlies definitely did a great job for that
I think Zach does have potential like yao
Exactly
And they did it
Jaren could run the 4
Edey at 5
And they still have ja and bane
I expect them to make playoff run this next season
If ja stays out of trouble
I dont expect them to win tho
Definitely 2nd round though
Great team great young talent there just missing minor things
My expectations are just for them to atleast make the playoffs and go from there
Now warriors went into a slump I could see Steph retiring in a season or 2
If stuff doesn't turn around
Lost Klay
That or he leaves gs
Was a brother for Steph extra shooter
They should try signing Seth curry
It would be nice backup help
If warriors don't make it above 500 this season Steph or Kerr leaving
That prod guy been stepping up
I like the Mavs roster and knicks roster
Knicks been losing their centers
I think it could be lukas year
So their roster could definitely win but that C position needs help
Nah shai owns him
He has the experience now
Mitchell Robinson wonāt be able to do it by himself
Luka beat him?
Shai still outplayed him in every single game
Okc still need more team development
Not really
U can't say shai owns him if he lost and posted nearly triple double every game
Age is a big thing rn
He still won
They got good chemistry and also some experience this year
š
And they are still a young team
They should be ready next year
U can outplay but u gotta win to be better
They wouldnāt be winning it all
Everyone who watched the games knows shai still outplayed him in every game
Lost lol
At least conference finals
Mane Im not dumb
Maybeš¤·
Shai let PJ take him to Cancun
Yfm?
Can't be better losing to a role player
Best series pj ever had
Lucky run by him
He was the worst 3 conrner shooter all year long
Thatās enough pack it up
And then against the thunder he shot like 52% from 3
Cap he had a good series against clippers and ant
You can look it up
Djj was a big lost though
He statistically was the worst corner three shooter
Djj was him until the finals
Idk if its even worth arguing when you just talk out of your feelings š
No one's in their feelings lol shai had a good run
All these stars are young
Plenty to learn from
I just think lukas gonna be better prepared
Now that Kai and Klay and lively are staying
Give him help
I dont think celtics make another run
Yea thats also true
But all the thunder need is experience
Now they sort of got a little
And added a 7 foot center
Alex will help them
Wolves nuggets and Mavs are still very much up there
Wolves got a big amount of talent against the thunder
Match up perfectly I even think wolves are better defensively now
Wolves head coach is good too
It's either gonna be wolves vs Knicks for the finals or nuggets wolves or thunder vs Celtics or Knicks
Celtics didn't lose anything Knicks gained a lot and lost a little
shai was good although farming a lot of free throws

Golden State is sending Minnesota a future second-round pick swap and cash in the sign-and-trade, sources tell ESPN.
hardlyš
Nah this is what they need to do
warriors fans thought they were gonna get KD and Lebron and ended up with Deanthony Melton and Kyle Anderson šš
Make small moves that makes the team look a lil competitive
Yeah that wasnāt happeningšššš
Wouldnāt make them that good since this isnāt 2017 anymore
Dont get me wrong having curry, bron, and kd is amazing
yeah but this team currently looking like a play in exit if that
They want Lauri they have to trade for players like Anderson
Players that look pleasing
Big worry Lauri
idk that lauri helps he has 0 playoff experience and is very injury prone
very solid player but man
He helps heās a big that can shoot the ball play defense and yes health is a concern but look at the team he been on
Thereās a reason he aināt been healthy
jazz were the 8 seed near mid season then he got hurt and the team decided to yank
tank*
He needs more help
But Lauri on the warriors would be nice
Especially since they donāt even got a center realisticallyš
Their center is draymond and looney
Two 6ā9 centers
yeah i think he would be a good fit with their scheme but lauri never played center
ESPN story on free agent Kyle Anderson landing a three-year, $27M deal with the Warriors https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40484538/sources-kyle-anderson-heading-warriors-3-year-27m-deal
Heās been playing pf center wouldnāt be a huge adjustment it just means he plays with more pace and the way warriors play ball itās more of a slow down get a shooter open game plan
Itās a lot of screens
he's been a sf on the jazz and never really got minutes at center on the bulls
Heās a sf on the jazz
I couldāve sworn he was playing pf
yeah he played the four on the bulls
Then again the last time I turned on jazz ball I think Rudy gay was with them
but he a really tall sf
Heās 7 feet
would be an adjustment to playing c on the warriors but they really need somebody to lock up jokic, ad, and kat
If they donāt move that boy to pfš
they should've gotten drummond or plumlee
Big Philly got bro back and we needed that
idk what other centers are available on the market maybe zach collins or something
Love Paul reed but everytime embiid exited the floor they got outrebounded
No
Precious achiuwa or whatever his last name is
If warriors get him I wouldnāt mind it means Knicks are down another center
Warriors doing anything but signing actual talent to help Steph š
They got deanthony melton
Heās good
Just isnāt healthy often
I think heās gonna go down with the ship
Him and draymond
steph probably retiring soon
Need shooting center and lock for rec asap 60+ wp% please
šŖ
Itās Philly man
Theyāve never been known for a good front office
Honestly I donāt know how weāve been doing this good so far

yall need bigs not another shooter
We bouta make warriors give us a pfš
They boutta sign Kyle Anderson now buddy hield, yeah warriors are over dawg, idk wtf they doing to their roster they needa big not a bunch of guards
Bro as a twolves fan I feel like Kyle Anderson has underrated defense and passing he was good during the nuggets and mavs series
I donāt wanna give him up
yeah, kyle anderson is an interesting case
odd to think the dude that has a build up meter on his jumpshot is going to the warriors

Too skinny
Heās really bulked up over this season
He looks way different from the start of the season to now
I donāt think itās enough to guard Shaq tho
If he has Giannis build maybe
My actual hot take is that Giannis could not guard shaq
Ik giannisā defense is really good but still
nobody could guard prime shaq man
I donāt think no one could idk who maybe wemby but ya
Or maybe mark Eaton
man he messed everyone up

Darvin ham and prince going crazy
Bronny wearing 9
welcome back Nick Van Exel
what do you guys rate pg13 to the 76ers?
B- they need more dime droppers
Joe ingles letās go
Over paid but I hope he can teach some things to Tyrese maxey
8
Still not getting to the conference finals
Knicks and Celtics still better
And maybe the bucks
Their solution to having one of the biggest playoff droppers in the league was to add another playoff dropper
I love Lebron James

@rich dock
?
skill wise
kyrie is the best ever
but we are not talking about skill wise
we are talking about at their role
and kyrie isnt a top 10 pg
Bruh donāt have the accolades to be top 10
no its not
Chris Paul is about to break the assist record, heās much better at moving a team
curry, magic, Kidd, Nash, Russ, Oscar Robertson, Stockton, Chris Paul, Jerry West, Isaiah Thomas
Ok
Letās see
did you ever watch Prime chris paul?
Yea a lil
he literally was so good
Did u ever watch prime kai?
that the commisioner had to stop him from being traded to the lakers
Bro also a menace at steals
because he would have broke the league with kobe
of course im a warriors fan
š¤¦š¾āāļø
You can't pull cp0 as your get out of jail card bru
Give kai till heās 30 years old
Prime kyrie got one ring with bron, if u say heās still better cause he couldāve gotten more on another team or what ever then u going too much on what ifs
40*
fr
bro played with
James Harden and Kevin Durant
Ik he had superteams.
why didnt he win with them or get to conference finals if he is a top pg?
š
I aināt gonna choose one side but kyrieās teams had issues
So they broke mentally
curry, magic, Kidd, Nash, Russ, Oscar Robertson, Stockton, Chris Paul, Jerry West, Isaiah Thomas. these players have a title under their belt, or have broken records
Curry is the best PG of all time
Magic is the 2nd best
Magic > curry if we talking about true pg
true
cause curry is supposed to be sg
Got you
Curry more of a mix of pg and sg
if we are talking about a TRUE PG
Kyrie should go to pg and Luka go to sg
Honestly he a pg cause of his size
yea
Luka at sf
Kyrie pg, Luka sg, Klay sf, PJ pf, Lively C,
Klay at sg
Na KLAY
Klay smaller to leave at sg
luka is slower tho
Becomes a weakness against teams with bigger sf
ohhhh ok
Yea but kyrie can slow the game down in their possession so maybe itāll balance out
If Klay can average 18 on good splits and Derrick lively gets much better then they got a chance
But yes Iād say rn itās thunder from the west and Celtics from east
Gafford>lively
Both gotta take a jump
But as of rn they just rotate
Lively was lowkey clutch against one of the series in the playoffs, I think it was the timberwolves
16/16
Yup
But the knicks, nuggets, timberwolves. And maybe the mavs and Philly got a chance too
Iām tryna see the wolves Ngl
U think grizzlies got a chance
Nah they a mid team, gotta make a decent amount of trades
They need to make 2-3 decent trades
Id say replace Brooks with RJ Barret and Lue Dort for Brandon Clarke
Jus keepin it real wit yall
Knicks sweep

ESPN Sources: Free agent Buddy Hield is joining Golden State on a sign-and-trade deal guaranteed for two years and $21 million. Hield gets $18M in first two years, a $3M partial guarantee in 3rd year and player option on non-guaranteed 4th year. Warriors send Sixers 2031 second via Dallas.
Sign-and-trade has to be three years but small guarantee on third-year gives Golden State real flexibility on the deal for Hield. Warriors add DeAnthony Melton, Kyle Anderson and Hield in wake of Klay Thompson departure.

I can't believe people think kobe is top3
Yessir
Sixers can actually contend? What yall think, i think we need some defense and we can acc have a chance
Hopefully No injuries for any team
Itās not really that hard to believe
Name another player who has had 7 finals appearances in 10 years and almost three peated twice and also averaged 35 a game and dropped 81 in a game
Now that I think about it
I donāt think thereās any player in nba history other than Kobe who couldāve guarded MJ
Ur being way too specific
Facts heās barely top 10
He's like 7 or 8 for me
Personally
I have MJ/LeBron LeBron/MJ then KAJ
Yeah same my top 3 goes mj Bron kareem
No clue how some people put kobe up there

Lowkey Cade and Ivey and Duren all still on their rookie contracts
Once they develop they gonna be crazy
Duren averaging like 13 and 14 on 67% shooting last season
Imagine if he steps up and becomes a second option
Iām not, the only other players to do that are Michael Jordan and LeBron James
Jordan out here averaging 35 a game and winning 6 finals in a row and LeBron out here going to the finals 10 times
The only other player I can think of to have that many successful playoff runs is Kobe
Name me 10 players above Kobe
I can see maybe 3 or 4
But not 10
Lowest Kobe should be at is 5
Heās top 3 fs
nah lebron jordan and kareem respectfully above kobe
Bird Mj magic lebron Tim Duncan Shaq
And Kareem
Rip Kobe you cannot convince me heās above any of these guys
With all do respect people are putting Kobe that high on their listing because of his d eath not saying that Kobe is bad but that changed his legacy and people donāt want to say it
Kobe is a legend but I have him 8th
Bird had a stacked team with 4 hofs and still only managed to win 3 rings
Magic and Dr J killed him in the finals almost every time
Kobe had Shaq and an entire front office
Kobe and Shaq had Derek Fisher
Dr j didnāt destroy Larry
Oh wait
Yeah it was the rockets most of the time
Then the lakers one year
Still
No one is putting Kobe higher because of his death. Weāre putting him higher because of his crazy resume and what he did
And also every great player has a great team so I donāt see your point
Iām not saying thatās the only reason
Those last two chips that Kobe got werenāt great teams
Itās a reason
Not a good enough reason to have him at 8
Well if you want to put him at 7 you can but all of those players are far better than him
Well
Not far better but better fs
1: Kobe is arguably one of the greatest scorers of all time
2: Kobe is probably the most skilled player in NBA history
3: He is probably the only person in NBA History who couldāve guarded prime MJ
4: He three peated then he almost three peated AGAIN
5: averaged 35 in a game and dragged a trash lakers team to the playoffs with smush parker (also dropped 81 in a game)
6: one of the greatest NBA peaks of all time
7: Some of the greatest longevity in NBA history
8: Some of the best playoff runs in NBA history
9: Took down a super team with 4 HOFs while being down 3-2
I could go on
Kobe had it all
He was also one of the greatest defenders at his position
You canāt name me 3 shooting guards who were better defenders than Kobe
Kobe had the mid range and the 3 ball and the finishing and all the athleticism. He also had the best footwork in nba history. He also had the best IQ in maybe basketball history
He literally studied his opponents and knew everything about them
He was as much as a threat on defensive as much as offense
Then his playoff runs are up there
Averaging 35 a game on negative 3s is crazy
Kobe can probably beat any nba player in history 1 on 1 maybe besides MJ
Literally during that season were Kobe averaged 35 the lakers were losing if Kobe didnāt drop 50 a game
Saying Kobe had maybe the best basketball iq is insane to me seeing as he hardly passed
Kobe had great defense but lebron Jordan Tim Duncan and Shaq had better one of the reasons he averaged so many points is because he wasnāt a pass first player bringing up one year where he had to carry doesnāt make him the goat (while still and incredible feat) saying heās the only player that could guard prime Mike is just false on so many levels many great players study their opponents thatās not explosive to Kobe footwork was incredible but players like Hakeem Jordan Duncan have better he was not inconsistent but that was a weakness of his
Kobe had the best footwork at his position
In history is excessive
Many greats took down super teams
Well I would put Mj above slightly but I see your point
Kobe literally knew everything about his opponents tho. He literally had it all in his head how he figured out his opponents
I love Kobe Bryant and I reps t all the work he put in but I canāt put him top 5
He knew Jordanās game more than anyone else. His game is literally MJs
Many players did that lebron Mj kg etc
Many players idolized Mj
Not to the level of Kobe
Iāll give you that but still
He didnāt idolize Mj. His game was literally just a carbon copy of MJ
Kobe Bryantās game was literally just Micheal Jordan but with a better 3 ball and maybe better footwork
Yea however he was only in the league with Mj for 2 years (not counting wizards Mj)
You have to count wizards MJ
He didnāt get to use it to his advantage against Jordan that much
MJ is still MJ
Kobe is the only person who understood Jordanās game to that much of a level
Because Jordanās game as his game
Yo i got a qui question
That wizards team was not a threat and I believe Mj only avg about 16 points
MJ was still dropping 55 on people
He was still like that
Not prime MJ but still a bucket
Do any of u play 2k24 on ps5
On the wizards š¤„
Do any of u play 2k24 on ps5
Check our roles
Well I still have Mj Kareem magic bird lebron Shaq and Duncan over Kobe
Maybe bird slips down below
Kobe has more rings than all of them except Kareem and Duncan
Magic is the greatest passer ever and the greatest point guard
Mj and bron self explanatory
Magic had a stacked team most of his career in one of the weakest western conferences ever
He shouldāve have won some of his chips to
Again every player had great teams
And he had to leave the league early
Iād toss Rodman in his prime in there to ngl
That 88 Chip against Detroit shouldāve never happened
The pistons had them beat and they called a bs foul on Bill Laimbeer
The phantom shot
My bad I meant pg
Magic realistically should have 4 chips
But he doesnāt š¤·āāļø
Plus he had James Worthy and Prime Kareem most of his career. All of this in a weak western conference
Like name any team who was messing with 3 hall of famers
Never said he wasnāt
But having multiple hall of famers and basically a superteam is crazy
Especially in a weak western conference
The Celtics and bulls werenāt weak and they had to play them on the biggest stage
Yea
When they were on the finals I think they did
East teams
The Celtics and pistons were the only teams in the league capable of beating the lakers
They were both in the east
The bulls DID beat them
Magic basically had a Jayson Tatum level run most of his career
That was the year he left the league
Kareem retired im pretty sure
Iām not saying he wasnāt
Iām saying that year he lost to MJ was his final year
Thatās literally what you just said
bro it's 1 google search
Iām saying the bulls beat them in 1991 on Magics last year in the league
ā¦
It was Worthy and HIV Magic vs Prime Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen
Idek what weāre arguing over š
kobe top 3
7 finals appearances in 10 years and 5 chips is crazy
I donāt see how thatās not top 5
if u wanna talk about "easy" rings kobes first ring was 100% a shaq carry job
