[graceful dirge]

My list goes
Mj
Bron
Kareem
Magic
Duncan
Shaq
Bird Kobe at the same level maybe Kobe higher

[delicate carbon]

Not really

[delicate carbon]

I need reasons

[fluid lark]

kobe averaged 15 man

that was 100% a shaq ring

the other 2 kobe was a bigger contributor in

[delicate carbon]

Beyond finals. Imagine the playoff run as a whole

[delicate carbon]

He dropped 8 points in overtime while Shaq fouled out

In the final game he dropped 30 and 10

[graceful dirge]

Kobe is maybe my favorite player ever but there are many players over him

[delicate carbon]

I need reasons

Give me reasons why those players are better

[fluid lark]

on 30 percent shooting

[fluid lark]

^

[delicate carbon]

They would’nt have won that Portland series without Kobe

[graceful dirge]

Kobe was a ball hog

[delicate carbon]

So?

[graceful dirge]

Rookie Kobe telling Shaq to get his rebound if he wanted the ball

[graceful dirge]

Wdym so

[delicate carbon]

Like how does that affect anything?

[graceful dirge]

It means he has worse basketball iq and was not an all around offensive weapon only a scorer

[delicate carbon]

Even on 30% shooting the lakers would’nt have won without Kobe doing that

Rick Fox wasn’t helping Shaq

[graceful dirge]

If he passed more and took better shots he would be higher all time

[delicate carbon]

Saying Kobe has bad basketball IQ is one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard

[graceful dirge]

In terms of passing?

[delicate carbon]

He knew how to pass

[graceful dirge]

Yes bad basketball is

[delicate carbon]

He was a guard

[graceful dirge]

But didn’t

[delicate carbon]

He was a playmaker when he wanted to be

[graceful dirge]

Meaning bad basketball iq

[delicate carbon]

That’s a horrible argument

Kobe didn’t pass the ball so he has bad basketball IQ

Wow

[graceful dirge]

Bad shot selection and not passing don’t equal bad basketball iq

Not saying it was horrible

It was below average

[delicate carbon]

He didn’t have bad basketball IQ he just choose to play a certain way

[delicate carbon]

Curry’s shots can be seen as bad shot selections but he’s Stephen curry so it’s fine

Yk what I mean

Like Kobe was that good

[graceful dirge]

But they go in more

[fluid lark]

he shot them out of game 4 too lol

[delicate carbon]

He could take those shots

[delicate carbon]

Still. Even on bad efficiency who else is dropping 30 on that team besides Shaq

[graceful dirge]

If we’re talking about putting Kobe top 5 then compared to them he has bad basketball iq

Compared to them

[delicate carbon]

he didn’t

Kobe is one of the smartest basketball players of all time

[graceful dirge]

How so

[delicate carbon]

Saying that a 5 time NBA champion has bad basketball IQ is crazy

[fluid lark]

yeah but im saying that for that first year, kobe got carried to the ring ☠️

[graceful dirge]

Answer the question

[fluid lark]

a few good games does not excuse that

[graceful dirge]

How does he have good iq

[delicate carbon]

Defensively he always knew his opponents strengths and weaknesses

[fluid lark]

he shot them out of just as many games as he helped them that specific year

[delicate carbon]

He knew KD could’nt go left and he knew what made him uncomfortable and made him take bad shots

He did that with everyone

[fluid lark]

that's the nature of younger kobe, older kobe understood what it took to win better

[delicate carbon]

He was always guarding every teams best player

[delicate carbon]

I’ll talk to you later I’m talking to other dude rn

[graceful dirge]

Okay well if we talking offense and playmaking his iq is just not there

[delicate carbon]

Offensively his IQ was amazing

[graceful dirge]

How do

Explain

[delicate carbon]

He didn’t pass the ball to his trash teammates

Look at his plays with Shaq and Pau Gasol

[graceful dirge]

Players that aren’t stars are trash

?

[fluid lark]

yo lets be fr here 😭

[delicate carbon]

He had a very high basketball IQ and if you actually watch Kobe you would understand that with his good teammates he always made good plays with them

Kobe was a facilitator

[graceful dirge]

No he really wasn’t

[delicate carbon]

You need to watch ball man

[zenith spindle]

Need swing for 3s

[tight trail]

ngga said kobe dont got iq wallah help this brotha

[delicate carbon]

Smush Parker was trash

[delicate carbon]

Ong

[graceful dirge]

Omg one player in the team was trash that’s why Kobe didn’t pass the ball his whole career

[delicate carbon]

Rick Fox?

[graceful dirge]

Replying to one guy agreeing with you is sad

[delicate carbon]

I can go on

[graceful dirge]

Every player had bad teammates

Idk what your trying to say

[fluid lark]

kobe was a good facilitator when he chose to facilitate

[delicate carbon]

^

[fluid lark]

however he did not always choose to do that

which is not good

lol

[delicate carbon]

He doesn’t need to

That wasn’t his role

[tight trail]

i open this channel for the first time and see that never opening this shi again

bro got 2k knowledge

[delicate carbon]

Fr

TikTok ball knowledge

[fluid lark]

no, but a good teammate should always try to get his teammates involved

[graceful dirge]

As the best player on a team that’s mid without you that has to be your role

Sooo

[fluid lark]

like lebron could be playing with bums and he'll still try to pass it if they have a better shot

[delicate carbon]

Kobe had his mamba mentality which I’m not gonna act like is amazing

[fluid lark]

It’s a double edged sword for sire

[delicate carbon]

Just because Kobe didn’t pass the ball to his trash teammates doesn’t mean he isn’t top 5

[delicate carbon]

^

[graceful dirge]

Not the only reason though

[delicate carbon]

Kobe knew this but decided to not do so

[graceful dirge]

There are just players that are better

[delicate carbon]

Because he wanted to make his teammates better

[fluid lark]

Kobe has good basketball iq, which makes his bad decisions more conscious, which imo is worse

[delicate carbon]

Make them motivated to improve on their game

[delicate carbon]

Skill wise?

[graceful dirge]

Yea skill wise

[delicate carbon]

Kobe is the second most skilled player in NBA history

The only player more skilled is MJ

That’s debatable even

[fluid lark]

Comparing pure “skill” is kinda dumb in basketball

Especially in greatness arguments

[delicate carbon]

Look at Kobe. He had the footwork, the mid range, the 3 ball, the finishing, the athleticism,the defense, etc

[fluid lark]

Yeah but I mean he didn’t do any of that the “best” if that makes sense

[graceful dirge]

Kareem had the most unstoppable move ever bron and Mj obviously Tim Duncan was extremely edict in both ends a the time and was great at scoring magic is the goat of greatest passer etc Shaq is the most dominant ever

The highest I put Kobe is 5-6

Personally

[delicate carbon]

It was a sky hook

It was a literal hook shot

[graceful dirge]

Which was not the most unstoppable move ever?

That got blocked twice ever

[delicate carbon]

MJ post fadeaway

[delicate carbon]

He played in the 70s

[graceful dirge]

So?

[delicate carbon]

He was taller than 90% of the league

You have to take that into consideration

[graceful dirge]

He also played In the 80s and he still dominated with that move

The sky hook couldn’t be stopped

[delicate carbon]

He had magic and James worthy

He didn’t dominate, they dominated

[graceful dirge]

How does that effect the skyhook 😭😭😭

I don’t understand how that makes the skyhook less unstoppable but okay

[delicate carbon]

It’s pretty easy to get your shots off with the greatest passer of all time

and having 2 superstars who drag so much attention to themselves

while being a 7,1 center and stronger and taller than 90% of the league

[graceful dirge]

When he’s in the post and ge pulls out the skyhook 1 on 1 it doesn’t matter

Even when he was playing people his size

Or slightly taller/shorter

[delicate carbon]

I need your main reason

[graceful dirge]

Elaborate

[delicate carbon]

Why do you hold Kobe behind some of these players even tho he has more chips and accolades

[graceful dirge]

I’ve given you some good reasons

[delicate carbon]

and more better playoff runs

Kobe has 5 rings just like Magic but with worse teams

[graceful dirge]

Well Kareem and Shaq were just unstoppable and magic has more in his offensive bag

[delicate carbon]

So magic having more in his offensive bag is more impressive than Kobe having the same amount of rings on worse teams?

[graceful dirge]

Shaq was the true leader when he played with Kobe anyways

[delicate carbon]

They both ran the team.

Kobe was a key piece to that dynasty

The lakers weren’t three peating without Kobe

[graceful dirge]

Again just because I list a reason doesn’t make it the only reason

[delicate carbon]

But that’s a dumb reason

Like why bring that up

Magic had better passing. Cool

[fluid lark]

Yeah obviously

[delicate carbon]

Shaq had no other centers capable of checking him

[fluid lark]

But you can say that about any #2 on a dynasty

[graceful dirge]

I name a valid argument and he says “whatever cool”

[delicate carbon]

37 year old david Robinson was not checking Shaq

[graceful dirge]

Because he was so good

[delicate carbon]

I’m not saying he wasn’t

Also Shaq was capable of getting checked

Ben Wallace was locking up bro

[graceful dirge]

doesn’t mean Shaq wasn’t still getting buckets over him

That’s one guy either way

Shaq was still dominating

[delicate carbon]

Wilt Chamberlain,Hakeem,David Robinson

All the centers who had a chance of guarding prime Shaq weren’t in the league

Maybe except Ben Wallace

[fluid lark]

Man that whole lakers team got clamped this year

[delicate carbon]

04 pistons are crazy

Lowkey

[fluid lark]

Unrelated but the 04 pistons were so fun to watch

[delicate carbon]

Greatest defensive team of all time

[delicate carbon]

^

[fluid lark]

Such a cool team

[delicate carbon]

LA is so stupid I swear

They gotta stop assembling these super teams

Like they never work

The Dwight Howard Steve Nash Team, Karl Malone Gary Payton Lakers etc

[graceful dirge]

Who lives in la and likes the clippers over the lakers

😢

😭

[delicate carbon]

No one was talking to you bro 😭

Pure silence

My bad man

💀💀

[graceful dirge]

Mad af

Pure white knuckles rn irl

Muttering under his breath 😭😭😭

[delicate carbon]

Ngga what

Don’t be mad at me because no one wants to talk to you bro

I’m chilling rn

[graceful dirge]

Seems like you are talking to me 🤷‍♂️

[delicate carbon]

I believe that pistons team could lowkey take any team in nba history to 7 games

[delicate carbon]

A chip with no all stars is crazy

[graceful dirge]

Chirp chirp

[delicate carbon]

I’m replying to bros message

You literally talking to air

Go watch basketball man

[graceful dirge]

That’s why no one responding to you?

Okay

[delicate carbon]

I heard you say “Kobe has a bad basketball IQ” you don’t get to have a opinion

[delicate carbon]

He probably doesn’t chronically live on discord

[graceful dirge]

Bro stop getting so pressed over nothing?💀💀💀

[delicate carbon]

I’m not pressed

I’m chilling rn

[graceful dirge]

Seems like it to me

[delicate carbon]

Go watch some basketball my ngga😭

[graceful dirge]

That’s why you immediately responding to me and bring up stuff that happened earlier that doesn’t have to do with anything rn

[delicate carbon]

You need to actually understand the game

[graceful dirge]

lol okay buddy

[delicate carbon]

I’m just saying. Someone who says “Kobe doesn’t have basketball IQ” doesn’t get to speak to me

Like lower your tone lil ngga

Real shi

[graceful dirge]

Well obviously you don’t really believe that cause you keep responding to me

And I said Kobe had below avg iq compared to the legends

lol

[delicate carbon]

This is why you can’t talk basketball

[graceful dirge]

🤣 you think I care about what some bum has to say

[delicate carbon]

Ask anyone who knows ball and they’ll agree with me

You get all your ball knowledge on TikTok lil bro

[graceful dirge]

Again I said he has lower offensive iq compared to som wit the goats

[delicate carbon]

Wallahi someone help this ngga

[graceful dirge]

💀 look you got mad earlier because i talked in chat

[delicate carbon]

I’m boutta leave, watch some basketball and then come back and talk to me lil bro😭

[graceful dirge]

You are obviously pressed

[delicate carbon]

I’m playing 2k rn and laughing rn

I couldn’t be happier

I’m dropping 40 in rec while arguing with you

Crazy

[graceful dirge]

I sent one message that had nothing to do with the previous argument

[delicate carbon]

Keep talking bro

I’m boutta leave

[graceful dirge]

Which I thought was supposed to be friendly but bottles everything too serious

[delicate carbon]

I ain’t gonna argue with someone with negative basketball IQ

[graceful dirge]

Leave I honestly couldn’t care less

[delicate carbon]

I don’t live chronically on discord to argue basketball with 13 year olds

Bye

[graceful dirge]

Okay cya later bum

[delicate carbon]

Do your parents give you attention at home? It seems like you constantly need me

[graceful dirge]

Have fun on 2k

Hope that you get the counseling. You obviously need for your temper

[delicate carbon]

Bye lil bro

I’ll send you some Kobe highlights to watch

[graceful dirge]

Alright hope you win your game that you play all day bye 😘

yeah, fox shoots the 3 well. sabonis arguably would too if he just more. like 2 or 3 a game. it's odd he's so shy to shoot, even in the midrange sometimes, when he is very capable of doing so

[cerulean totem]

Yall do I get 808 3 ultra v2s or all city 12s for outdoor basketball

I’ve heard all city 12s are really good but idk if the 808 ultras are gonna be good or not even though there’s 2 carbon plates

[random path]

yo

[sudden iron]

I would get 808s but you’re only using them for outdoor you could probably just buy ja 1 and save money

[cerulean totem]

I mean like I’ll use it for indoor too

But thanks

[delicate carbon]

Should’ve went to Detroit

[delicate carbon]

If Cam Thomas stepped up defensively he would be amazing

He has it offensively but defensively he’s still dodo

Ngl Austin Reaves lowkey has game tho

He’s averaging 15 a game as a third or 4th option

If he was on a bad team like the nets and he was able to take more shots i feel like he could put up 22 a game

[opaque oracle]

Does anyone play irl basketball? I need jumpshot advice

I feel like if i jump too high it slams the backboard but if i dont jump its bounces off rim, and idk if im pushing it too hard

[lyric crow]

Jerry got up

[delicate carbon]

When you shoot your jumpshot tuck your elbow and make sure when you shoot the ball when you jump you shoot it while you’re jumping up. Don’t shoot the ball on your way down. It’s all in the wrist to.

Don’t lean forward either

All in one motion

[opaque oracle]

Oh word, alright ill note that for next time

[static kelp]

And they will obviously deny signing the player I created and was wanting him to be at with his 8th year in the NBA after 8 years in the Denver Nuggets Man had the advertising plan out and everything to promote him and DeRozan as the stars of the Bulls

It makes sense considering well they got rid of those players why not stomp on the neck and not sign a former NBA Champion while they're at it.

[stuck solar]

They should've made that decision last season and shipped out Capela for some picks or a backup point guard

I'm no Hawks fan, but if I was, and I saw my young center unable to blossom on our perennial play-in team because we were keeping a capable center who we could've traded to get stuff to be better later, I'd be kinda pissed

They added neighbourhood back

atp bro the 2k company and employees are just getting lazy

"yeah the community wont care that much if we make pc newgen without crossplay"

newgen got me hype but no crossplay killed my heart and soul for the game

[stuck solar]

I mean I personally don't care about crossplay, as a PC user who was praying for newgen, but I know some people do

And I understand that cheating is far more often on PC, you wouldn't want to subject the console players to that, at least until they can get it better under control

I assume it's something where, the focus this year was getting next gen on PC, then the focus the next year or two can be on the anti-cheat, and then by 2K26 or 27, then they add crossplay

[restive tinsel]

i mean then again they should have been done had anti-cheat running since 2k22 or 2k23 came out, theyve had plenty of time to figure it out.

there is not one game that has came out in the past 7 years that doesnt have an anti-cheat system installed already

and yeah there are ways to get around that anti-cheat but still

[stuck solar]

yeah no I agree. A flawless anti-cheat is a dream that will never be reached, but I don't think anyone (resonable) is asking for that; people are just asking for any anti-cheat in the game that at least can stop the blatant "99ovr" 60ovr players, and the alien looking dudes who are 12 ft tall with 12 foot wingspans

"you people" so because I said he's the 55th pick im the biggest bronny and lebron fan of all time. got it

which is also me "spazzing out"

[quaint fiber]

you heard this once and since haven't been able to think and or argue rationally. you make it sound im giving my life to defend bronny. I just pointed out he was picked 55 out of 58 and a lot of people, you 2 included, act and talk about the kid like he was selected in the top 10.
he won't be homeless for as long y'all 2 live I guess, rent free. let it go. you wanna criticize? make it constructive and make it about players that deserve it

"So original"

What? I'm not allowed to criticize someone for missing a ton of shots in a basketball game because it's not original or something just because some YouTubers are doing it?

Also I didn't say I'm criticizing Bronny 24/7 just this instance of putting terrible numbers up on the shooting scoreboard. Especially when LeBron claims he's better than others.

It's this misrepresentation of criticism as hatred that irritates me.

[static kelp]

I'm just gonna move on from this considering it's not going anywhere. My apologies if I confused you for one of those people who worship LeBron like he's their father and Bronny's brother. Sheesh. I was just saying it's ridiculous that people are conflating Criticism with hate and toxicity.

Cade Cunningham will make a superstar leap next year and average 25-26 a game

Jaden Ivey and Duren and Ausar will all make leaps as well

The pistons will get 30 wins and if they actually do well enough they’ll be a play in team next year or the year after

Hear me out

Starting lineup:
PG: Cade Cunningham
SG: Jaden Ivey
SF: Ausar Thompson
PF: Tobias Harris
C: Jalen Duren
Bench:
Isaiah Stewart
Marcus Sasser
Etc

Lowkey all the young pieces on the pistons are only gonna get better

Duren was putting up 13 and 14 this season. Imagine him leveling up his game along with Ivey and Cade and Ausar

That young core is crazy

Reminds me of golden state

[quaint fiber]

idk if jaden ivey fits with them ngl. tbf havent watched much of the pistons but hes a PG. if holland develops well. it could be cade, then either ron or ausar at 2 or 3, tobias, duren.

stew, sasser, fontecchio, reed off bench

[stuck solar]

I agree with the person above about Ivey, he's really a PG that they're forcing to play off ball. If he can't learn how to do that, his spot in the starting lineup is going to get usurped, and he's just going to be their backup PG (kinda like last season when Monty Williams played Killian Hayes in the starting lineup)

They will definitely have more wins this season, but they are still going to encouter some trouble having two players in the starting lineup who REALLY can't shoot (in Ausar and Duren), and Ivey isn't exactly a great shooter either

Cade has massive potential though, I could see him having a great season assuming he stays healthy

[delicate carbon]

I’ve been saying that they should trade Ivey. We need more vets/shooters/wings and he’s a great piece that most teams in rebuilds would take

[quaint fiber]

agree. they had joe harris but let him go, not as good anymore.

who could they even get for Ivey, good shooting wings that is

[quaint fiber]

feel like the league needs 2 expansion teams asap. too much talent be randomly on teams. Rockets and Thunder got all these young players with a bunch of potential. Jazz got like 4 different playable quality guards. Celtics a superteam. Knicks got a superteam of "role" players.

[stuck solar]

I saw Bleacher Report suggest Ivey for Cam Thomas, which, as someone who cares little about either of those teams, I think could be a mutually beneficial deal

Cam Thomas gives them a second offensive creator (because they really didn't have one last year, I guess they have Harris now but), and a guy who can actually make 3s when Cade passes him the ball

Cam is a defensive liability tbh

Idk

[stuck solar]

That is true, but Ivey isn't exactly clamping up most of the time either. Not to say Ivey is a bad defender, but I think Cam's shooting and offense is a greater jump and helps more than his lackluster defense hurts them. Their starting lineup has at least 2 solid perimeter defenders, so, depending on the team, you can hide him on defense and let Ausar guard his man instead if the other team has a good 2 guard

im lowk bad though

i get like 5 minutes a game bro

[delicate carbon]

What type of basketball do you play? AAU?

If you’re bad then practice and work on your game

The only way you’re gonna get minutes is if you work on your game and prove you can be good coming off the bench/starting etc

If you’re playing point guard you gotta learn how to run an offense and your handles and passing usually has to be the best on the team.

Also creating open shots or creating opportunities for your teammates/yourself

I would watch some drills or go play more full court games to try and gain more experience

Kevin Garnett had 16,638 total points during the 2000s, landing him 6th in the NBA during that time 💪

It wasn't about the summer league until Bronny started scoring 12 points

Like okay good game Bronny but sheesh those LeBron worshippers are very arrogant and insufferable. Like we get 12 point game he got something more for once. And people wanna know why people don't like LeBron? They're their own worst enemy.

Y’all need to get added to this group I’ve been on💯 there games are 100% accurate and no chance of losing… let’s get there ✅✅✅

[delicate carbon]

Y’all think if Kobe won in 2008 against the Celtics he would be ranked higher all time?

Because lowkey

You got that first three peat with Shaq

Then he lost in 08 to the Celtics

Then he won b2b against Orlando and Boston

Imagine if he would’ve won that 08 series and went on to do a second three peat

In the span of 3 seasons he would have gotten

1 MVP
3 Rings/Finals MVPs
3 All Defensive 1st Teams
3 All NBA 1st Teams
Won against a superteam twice

Lowkey I feel like his ranking all time would’ve gone up

[snow tundra]

Over and over again 💰🔥✅… who tailed? More plays coming up today. Don’t miss out 👍🏻

the Goat debates are always... Debatable

[vocal jewel]

Everyone knows MJ is better than Bron

[static kelp]

Maybe LeBron shouldn't be so disdainable and I'd consider

[vocal jewel]

Yes and if the NBA never vetoed the trade with CP3 then Kobe would have 7 rings and 5 FMVPS that puts him at a Top 3 ranking of all time

[static kelp]

He keeps aligning himself with the most detestable people. Malcolm D. Lee (who said 1996 Lola was weak because she was feminine, I don't mind the A New Legacy character design also so just the addendum he gave.), Drake (before that Kendrick Lamar concert LeBron attended that severed that friendship), Draymond Green (who should have been in the NFL to be honest with you.)

lebron sucks

lebron is not the goat

I suggest the lebron 21s and either the DON 6s or AE 1s

kevin knox winning summer league mvp would be the funniest thing ever

[prisma charm]

Yall think USA getting gold

That Sudan game was crazy

[coral finch]

yeah, im a bit late, but you gotta look at it that way, he would have 6 titles, a threepeat, 1 mvp, 3 all d 1st teams, 3 all nba 1st teams, in my eyes that goat stuff

[quiet jetty]

2 three peats actually

same as mj

i think the only thing holding him back from higher rankings is lack of individual awards

only 1 mvp, only 2/5 finals he won fmvp, no real dpoy level seasons like mj and bron

[coral finch]

yeah

[coral finch]

yeah i forgot

the team success is there bro

but the individual awards are lackin

[quiet jetty]

if his team was better in the 2000s he'd definitely have a couple more mvps and probably championships

then he'd be undoubtedly top 4

[coral finch]

yeah he still falls in the top 5 for me

Its:

1. Lebron
2. Jordan
3. Kareem
4. Magic
5. Kobe

[quiet jetty]

fair

thats a right list imo

i think as long as lebron and mj are top 2, kareem is 3, its a good list

i think magic kobe duncan larry shaq are all that middle tier

Imo, you can switch from Lebron to Jordan from 2 to 1 and that would be a very good list

1 mvp?😭🙏

[cobalt olive]

Vc Method ?

[oblique forum]

3s pro am trust

[coral finch]

yeah he has one mvp

[delicate carbon]

He realistically should’ve won like 3-4 MVPs

I hate the whole “More MVPs” thing

Because there’s been people who have played at a MVP level but lost due to voter fatigue or because the other player was a higher seed

Like LeBron shouldn’t have lost to Derrick Rose.

Karl Malone shouldn’t have beaten MJ

Steve Nash shouldn’t have beaten Kobe

I think LeBron had a argument for 2018 vs Harden as well
