one injury to lebron or ad and theyre going for cooper flagg
coop on the lakers shouldnt be allowed
kevin knox robbed
How he win mvp but isnt first team is still wild to me 😭
to all my hoopers should i cop these for my birthday?
i got no tax on it and its cad

- ugliest colourway i ever seen i aint gon lie
- melos are trash for performance
no traction
theres so many better shoes for 160 or less
Dont get melos there are so many better shoes than those
If you TRULY want a puma shoe get the latest model breanna stewart released
The ankle support is rly bad I almost hurt my ankle severely wearing Melos. But I’m a big so idk if it’s the same for like guards but I’d find another shoe
You should wear gt jumps or something if you a big 😨
I wore them before I got into basketball seriously
I wear Lebrons currently
They are amazing
I wore Melos as beaters to school and my ankle broke on both sides lol
Not from hooping I won some game in front of the whole school and got rushed by like 30 kids where someone stepped on my ankle
Ikr they are terrible for your ankles
Of hot potato 😭
lol
Some of them may look clean but they just aren’t good
Explains why lamelo is always out
I have a pair of curry's that work pretty well for me
I was gonna say dude gets an ankle injury every 3 games he actually manages to play, idk why he hasn’t demanded a functional shoe design by now
#Hornets are waiving Reggie Jackson, league sources told @theobserver. Story: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/charlotte-hornets/article290210489.html

Sources: Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb, who has been unable to land the type of contract extension that other wide receivers have, is not expected to report to training camp Wednesday with the rest of his team. Lamb is entering the last year of a deal scheduled to pay him $17.99 million this season.
What does this have to do with the NBA?
Does anyone know what the player in the nba 2k-news is I think its melo
Yeah it is
Y’all think Wemby a top 5 center next season?
For me idk
My list goes like this
1: Jokic
2: Embiid
3: AD
4: Bam
5: Sabonis
I ain’t even gonna lie
Alperen Sengun and Jalen Duren and Jarrett Allen all look like they all gonna make a superstar leap to
I think in like 2-3 years the top 5 centers in the league is gonna change dramatically
Me personally I’m switching out AD for Wemby
It’s his rookie year and he already avg 3.6 blocks now just IMAGINE next season
Where he has more improvement
Training way more in the offseason
He dribbles like a damn guard
And he shooting half court floaters like he at the free throw line line
That’s literally the best center build fr bruh
What more could u ask from a center

RIP Nba on TNT

i saw the memo saying its still broadcast by Turner meaning Shaq and the team will be able to stay?
I mean 2k cashed in and nailed a critical story in the form of legacy or grandfathered in players with Taytum winning the ship. guess you cant get lucky twice in one year and expect some stability from the nba in terms of broadcasting... 2k set to be DELAYED?
At least I’ll be able to watch games
1.8 billion, why match that. shoulda made it 2 billion get it over it sooner than this
but I guess if it's going to prime we could get a few games to be on twitch???
losing inside the nba is what sucks
jordan better fosho
Adam Morrison better
Amazon wants to keep the cast of inside the nba but it's up to the cast
Do y’all think that RJ Barrett is a bust or he’s gonna have a breakout season?
‘Cause I’m still in the middle
yeah but they also post it on youtube. thats where I watch it
players like RJ (so far) and even wiggins if you wanna go furthere aren't busts
But you have to admit, it’s a bit underwhelming on how they’ve been playing as they were expected to be stars
they are good players that most teams wouldn't mind having. especially such an important position like a wing.
yeah I was about to say, underperformers if you will. not up to expectation. you feel like they can and should be better
seeing barrett vs france the other day and he was just missing some simple driving layups but then was hitting his 3s. odd. he gotta finish better at the basket

How do yall feel that Tyrese Halliburton made the USA team
Not bad
They needed another playmaker
He should get minutes when ad and bam are on the floor together
I personally think that Kylie should have made it
Not a good fit with their team and he’s injured rn
Already so many good scorers off the bench a guy like Haliburton or white are fine they can impact games in ways other then scoring

Hi
Free agent center Anzejs Pasecniks is signing a two-way deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, his agent @ArtursKalnitis of @BsaAgency tells ESPN. The Latvian 7-footer played parts of two NBA seasons with Washington.
I've though about getting a jersey. just to wear casually over a shirt nothing too crazy.
anyone that can tell me the difference between a "swingman" jersey and authentic one?
mitchellandness's ones can be cool but their "swingman" jersey's colors seem so dead on a lot of jerseys and the authentic ones are just too expensive. meanwhile nbastore's and fanatic's "swingman" look like the authentic and nice quality.
nothing final, just to have an idea if anyone knows,
would honestly prefer a john wall one but found nothing on the 3 sites I mentioned or other stuff
Stop hating on Tatum or y’all are going to have to see me personally
Trying out for my high schools basketball team, hoping i make the team 🙏

Kobe fans are so slow 💔
I'm arguing with someone on why Kobe is not better than Jordan rn
Their only point is
"Your fighting evolution"
I'm sorry
But Killian Hayes isn't cooking Steve nash
Tf does that even mean 😭😭😭
I don't even know
They also said Kobe is a better scorer
Kobe averaged 5.1 less ppg and 5% less FG%
💔
He also said mj played nobodys
Acting like the all time assist and steal leader is a nobody is crazy
Mj a worse scorer than Kobe?
Mj the guy who in his 3rd and 4th season averaged 35/5/5 with 3 steals and 1.5 blocks?
Kobe a better scorer than mj?
As in Kobe who didnt average 30 until his seventh season?
MJ is better than Kobe but the gap isn’t as large as everyone thinks
When people say “greatest scorers” of all time
You have to take into account how skilled Kobe was when it came to scoring
Like
His finishing,his midrange, his 3 ball,his post game
mj the goat of basketball end of debate
Like most people have all of that but what makes Kobe special is that he could do that at an elite level for 20+ years
Not only that but as Kobe got older he lost his athleticism and changed his game a little bit
He still was a 27 PPG scorer even when he was battling injuries and got older and losing athleticism etc
Rings don’t mean everything
Bron number 1 for me but it’s understandable for MJ being 1
6 rings, 6 finals MVPs,6 finals appearances amazing
But people tend to forget his other years
Like getting swept by the Celtics in the first round multiple times, or him getting beat by the pistons multiple times
Or him getting beat by Orlando in the conference finals
Or even his years in Washington where he wasn’t making the playoffs
People wanna forget the other 10 years of Jordan’s career and act like the 6 years where he was winning only exists
I’m not tryna say he wasn’t a winner and he isn’t great. He’s still the greatest shooting guard of all time
I’m just saying you have to take account for EVERY part of his career
Even the low points
Same for Bron
Those years he missed the playoffs with LA and Cleveland and first round exits etc
During those years it was prime bird and mj with zero proper help
Mj and LeBron have decently similar careers
Most people don’t wanna act like it wasn’t the same for LeBron tho
LeBron was carrying trash teams to finals at 22 with no help
Then he was losing to prime DPOY Dwight Howard and the super team Celtics and everyone was like “playoff dropper”
But realistically for 9 years he didn’t have any help
What new players are added to 2K?
Shut upn
The same people wanna be like “weak eastern conference” or “Lebron making a superteam with D Wade and Bosh is a bad move”
Not the 2k chat
People wanna say “LeBron had so much help” like Jordan didn’t have 3 all stars and a 72-10 team
This what I've been saying
Rodman was getting 20 boards a game
Pippen was the greatest second option of all time and greatest small forward in the league
Jordan was Jordan
Like that’s a squad
Wade and Bosh weren’t even playing at a elite level anymore by the time the Miami stint ended for LeBron
D Wade was playing 50 games a season and averaging 19 a game by the time LeBron was finishing his time in Miami
He wasn’t 2012 D Wade playing 70+ games a season and averaging 22 or 25 a game
This is why TikTok kids opinions don’t matter
Everyone on TikTok thinks russ 2017 MVP season is a top 10 peak
It’s not even a top 3 point guard peak
John Stockton is overrated is a horrible take
Holding a sports record and an MVP means something. It's type of criteria that's used to separate Regular players from the future Hall of Famers
Nash over Magic is an odd opinion. Haven't seen anything that would support that arguement
I'll have to keep an eye on him
Someone’s gotta have nba playgrounds 2 here right
I feel like every rookie has a chance this year
Kobe's 81 makes that a solid position. As well as the multiple times he was the only option on his team. I've never heard of fans being pissed that MJ passed to his teammates
Sorry but no not only does he have a worse FG% but also averaged less per game
There are years of Kobe's career where he was the only consistent scoring option. I see your point, however I'm referring to skill not averages. Kobe has a game where he shot with his off-hand because he hurt his right shoulder. That's a different level of skill
There were years where Jordan also had to be the only scoring option
I'm referring to Kobe's skill not his averages. Both men are great scorers with amazing skill. Kobe is in a league all his own when it comes to scoring skills. Mid-range, 3 point, long three, dunking, layups, post moves. Kobe honed more of the skills of a scorer.
found one
Horrible efficiency, 5 turnovers a game,barely got to a sixth seed.
Not saying it ain’t a legendary season but it’s VERY overrated
^
He was averaging 35 a game on negative threes
In todays game he would thrive
I’m talking at least 40 a game
Prime Kobe anyway
i think the reason it’s overrated is bc of the storyline (kd leaving, ibaka leaving, etc.)
I understand that. I feel he's very underrated. Russ's contribution to the game is major. Jokic was celebrated for achievements Russ has been doing for a career
because jokic was a 2nd round pick who came out of nowhere and started winning mvps
it’s like trenton hassell becoming first team all nba for averaging 30, it’s gonna be celebrated bc it comes out of nowhere
40 a game is crazy prob 23-27
vaild point
23-27 is the worst take I’ve ever heard
Kobe would cook every shooting guard in the league
Hed get doubled
Has to be ragebait
Wouldn’t even be enough
Do y’all think 3pt contest wins and dunk contest wins count as “real” accolades
Or nah
True. I forgot he takes 69 shots every game
When my career gameplay coming out
JUST IN: NBA All-Star Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz are expected to agree to a massive long-term contract extension and sign Wednesday or later, making him untradeable for entire 2024-25, sources tell me, @Tjonesonthenba, @anthonyVslater.

😐
lmao wtf
Nobody asked for this but ok
😐
Problem is they're acting like LeBron should be superior to Jordan in any way and the opposite happening on the MJ Side of the fanbase. tell me, weren't there people before saying that LeBron was this unbeatable juggernaut that he's better than Jordan in every other way? Why does LeBron need Gilbert Arenas and the Media to peddle him as the greatest instead of his game?
Anybody know where to buy 2k accounts?
hot take: clint capela is way too underrated
I’m back for nba playgrounds 2 players
Is this a good roster? I’m trying to go out and get more PGs
Roster:
Embiid
Maxey
Kawhi
Dejounte
Markkanen
Demar Derozan
Keegan Murray
Cameron Thomas
Walker Kessler
John Collin
Jalen Johnson
Clint Capela
Mikal Bridges
Caleb Martin
Paul Reed
Only had to give up some 70 ovrs James Harden and Lonzo
Just got Trae so - Paul Reed +Trae
Who are you asking?
LeBron needs Gilbert Arenas and pros because you have Jordan fans who start telling stories and talk down on LeBron
You have Jordan fans being like “LeBron played in a weak eastern conference”
Or “Lebron joined a superteam”
Or “LeBron wasn’t feared like how Jordan was”
You got all these old heads making arguments like “He averaged 35 in a more physical era and he played in a stronger eastern conference”
Like all Jordan did was score and facilitate
LeBron could put up 35 a game if he wanted to
He scored 32 at his peak
while averaging 8 assists
He just was always a great passer and a amazing playmaker so he capitalized on that
Not saying Jordan couldn’t facilitate or pass the ball but not to the level of LeBron
LeBron could’ve played Point Guard if he wanted to
Gilbert Arenas played prime LeBron James and grew up in that era
Like I don’t see why he can’t talk on Bron
do you guys think spot finder will be in the new game
Need current gen xbox acc
where is the link for the live
23 jokic > 17 westbrook
Lebron had Dwade, Chris Bosh and Ray Allen yet he still chocked against the Mavs.
ray allen in 2011?
Ray Allen wasn’t even there yet
Plus I don’t see why upsets happen all the time
He choked against the Mavs and then proceeded to make 8 consecutive finals appearances
Then beat a 73-9 team while being down 3-1
Dirk was prime Dirk and that Mavs squad wasn’t a joke
They literally swept Kobe and stopped him from three peating
Also beat a very good OKC team which made the finals a year later
Also beat Brandon Roy,Lamarcus Aldridge,Gerlad Wallace
All these teams are SQUADS
Ray Allen saved his legacy with that 3 in the corner
Let me not say anything else before @Zenox types a essay, I say one bad thing about LeBron and bro automatically starts defending him.
Like it's not that deep
lmaooo
I’ll be 100% honest LeBron did choke
But I’m just saying you can’t act like that Mavs team was a bum team
Like that was a genuine amazing team
You’re acting like he choked to the current day pistons
Tbf lebron did have 16 in that 4th quarter so without that spurs wouldve won
Ray Allen was still a NBA champion even if he didn’t make that 3
What about that brick?
He had a poor shooting night that night. only 1-5 from 3 people have off nightts all the time
Your name is literally LeBronGoat so I can't even take you seriously
so was lebron? he won in 2012
He played 50 minutes and had a 30 point triple double
Also just outside of scoring, defensively who else is guarding Tim Duncan
I bet if Jordan was in that position and missed you would've been flaming him
They have Chris Bosh
So LeBron didn't have to guard him
I wouldn’t, everyone misses you can’t make them all
chris bosh only had 1 more stock than lebron
Cap
Jordan wasn’t the facilitator LeBron was. He was more of a scorer
LeBron could playmake at a high level
kobe or jordan?
only bird brains would flame jordan cuz at the end of the day sometimes people just miss
Fr
Like not everyone’s making it every time
He also had better defense tho
Jordan has the easier defense for his position
LeBron was guarding Tim Duncan
How?
LeBron was guarding the 1-4 sometimes even the 5
Jordan was guarding the 2-3 mostly
He can play shooting guard and sf
Lebron wasn't playing sg or pf with Dwade and Chris Bosh tho
LeBron can play all 5 positions plus facilitate as a true point guard
LeBron played PF in Miami
He literally played the 4 in miami
He isn't tall enough to be a center
He played center in 2021-22 and averaged 30-6-8 with a steal and block
by far
Lebron is the best
You just had to say that
No one was talking about who's the goat
I’m trolling
You wanna talk about defense than LeBron the more versatile defender and could guard any position
But in all fairness, LeFlop is definitely the better OVERALL player. Now he wasn’t the most feared like Jordan because the game is a lot softer but if he played back then he would’ve been FEARED
Yep
Lebron is better at chase downs than locking someone up
Even on offense he was the best transition scorer in league history plus he was arguably one of the greatest playmakers in the league. LeBron had so many options on offense
Says someone who’s never watched a LeBron game
Jordan was feared cuz he had david stern on his side
Look at you automatically assuming that
Calm down 🤣
You just said something that wasn’t true.
It is
You said LeBron only gets chase down blocks which is how I know you don’t watch basketball
Is everyone still debating jordan vs LeBron, because realistically they're both the goat. They were both the best in their era and that's that. There is no telling whose better just off of stats because they played different because of the era the were in. Stop debating this because you cant jus decide between the 2 based of stats or just watching them.
Jordan was Feared because he’s MJ
He was better at locking someone down in his younger days
He's better at chase downs now
Most braindead Jordan fan
Why is this a narrative that LeBron can’t play defense now that’s he’s older?
Like if you watch the games LeBron still locking people up
He’s a good defender still
nah hes kinda right Lebron plays about 70% on half of his defensive possesions
Look at you defending your favorite player off his train
Thank you
It’s the same thing with Luka, you can’t give everything on offense and defense. You have to sacrifice sometimes
Especially when you’re in year 21
Doesn’t mean he’s a bad defender tho
Yeah just saying he still has his weak spots
Lebron is a all time player but you cannot ignore that most his defensive possessions are chase downs.
Just cuz i think brons better doesnt mean i view him as a flawless perfect nba playre
He never was flawless
Steals too
Now your bringing up other players
The closest thing to it tho
I’m using Luka as a example
Lets not pretend lebron isnt a steal machine
Luka has literally nothing to do with this
I literally just explained why
Can you read what I say before you start arguing with me?
Yeah
You're*
I love you
Wow you're so intelligent do you what a cookie?
Want*
Luka completely chooses too disregard defense on most plays so thats different
@edgy geyser i think you're mad because im not slow like you
When you’re putting a 35 point triple double on great efficiency that’s hard to do
Exactly he doesn't he mention that
That’s why players like Kawhi are special
Those 2 way players
I guess Jordan to
Its not like he plays great defense then slows down at the end of the game thad be understandable. right from tip off he slacks on defense
You're about me is "why are we even here?" You can't be talking 🤣
Lukas defense primarily contains bump steals due to his size advantage. No actual defensive tenacity
What’s the debate in here rn 👀
I don’t even know, some people arguing but idk why
Arguing < Debating
Wrd
Now u goin to my profile that's crazy level anger issues
Where my Bulls fans (shi lonely)
Not every player in the league knows how to play defense properly
NBA players have said it took them a few years to figure things out
Who ya team / fav player 👀
Hopefully during the offseason Luka figures things out
im not saying luka doesnt know how to play defense im saying he chooses to slack off
Also what my profile gotta do with u not knowing correct grammar 🤣
It seems like he’s slacking off but maybe he’s still trying to get used to things
Or maybe he just can’t give it 100% on both ends
Didn't your favorite player have anger issues with Kevin Garnett?
Because he isnt in shape
True, but he can work on that during the offseason
He’s still a pro athlete
You know autocorrect is a thing right?
luka is similar to jokic they dont look in shape but that helps them w/strength
Fr
True
He isnt going to magically get in shape. Hes become complacent because he is still a great player as of right now.
im sure if they cut they'd be a good bit faster but they'd have to change their game a good bit too
If LeBron won that DPOY, would he become a better defender than Jordan already?
Jordan is the better defender at his position but LeBron is the more versatile defender if that makes sense
mm
How? Jordan won DPOY while winning MVP
miami bron was insanely switchable
So did Hakeem and Giannis
That’s true
with juiced home stats
True
Just because someone didn’t win a MVP doesn’t mean they weren’t playing at a MVP level
Same for DPOY
Accolades don’t mean everything
How? Is that even true?
if lebron won dpoy that year he woulda won both thta year
Did you not see all the news abt it?? 😭
Like Marc Gasol won DPOY but LeBron was still number 2 in voting and was playing at a DPOY level
Nah they glaze Jokic too much
jokic wasnt in the league then
What news?
no like im saying the year lebron placed second in dpoy voting (2012-2013), he also won mvp, which would mean if he won the dpoy (which is the hypothetical here) he also would have won both mvp and dpoy in a year
Most brain dead Jordan fan
bro u live under a rock. there was a whole news flood abt the fact jordans home defense stats were boosted t
I was on vacation for a bit
u gotta go brush up on all of it. just google it there will be like 100 articles on it
Oh you're talking about back then
ye
Marc Gasol wasn’t even all defensive 1st team
LeBron should’ve won that year
Bro how did I miss all of this?
Ydkb
I do
its abt time he stepped up
I literally just said I went on vacation
Facts finally
Ant is a choker
Who yall got? The current USA team or The Dream Team?
Jokic just choking them
Current USA tbh
Yeah he was struggling
This current team I dk
Current USA spaces the floor like crazy
The current team or the redeem team?
greatest shooter ever averaging shooting 32% Fg and 26% 3pt. We been waiting for bro to play good
Dream team
current
He too great to being this
ong
There’s just so much talent now
ant Edwards is selling😭
Id agree, the whole roster needs to be healthy at once tho, then id call it the greatest
my king with the and one
Idk it might be
Ngl I feel like jb got snubbed from this team
😭😭😭
Curry and lebron needs help
That's what happens when you talk bad about bronny
lol
😭
Fr
ant needs help big time. get a good grip on the basketball
I know LeBron definitely had a talk with him
Facts this is knock on his game
Dancing
I dk what Steve Kerr doing
Ty lue
ft
ant isn’t trying bro
neither is embiid
all he did was just hit one three
didn’t even help on defense when bogdan had the wide open three
I have the current team 8-4
Are y'all watching the game vs Serbia rn
You going by matchups?
just by which names are next to each other
yes. Ant is selling
They down by 9 at the half
bro ant is my fav player. It just hurts seeing this
Crazy bro

Why we losing to fat serbian man
Right bro we losing to kingpin rn
Dont worry lebrons finna lock in
I was an ant fan since he was in the playoffs
I hope bro
This years playoffs?
ye
Last year's*
23-24 playoffs
Yea
bro it feels illegal seeing ballerinas on the bball court dancing
Lebron going for 81 points btw
Honestly he had probably the best playoff performance in the 23-24 playoffs
#1 lebron glazer
Ong
His name is LeBron goat what u expect
i just had that feeeling he was gonna get 70. idk what made me say that but i told my boys and they was just like "oh ok"
He is not scoring 72 pts in the next half
U sound like lebron
I am. Just spreading some propaganda before end of half
im Gonna score 72 next half
"yea that's my favorite saying" ahh sentence
true but he is not scoring 72 pts next half
Yea def not
Unc ain't like that nm
jit little league aint nba
he grandpa not uncle
my brother 22 and went to a bball court
they were calling him uncle
That’s just new age shi ngl
lebron is considered grandpa to them at that point
yeah thas js corny kid shi
kids call anyone over 19-20 unc
"kids" u sound like unc rn
Found one
bruh
Kids as in “teenagers”
EMBIID
21 isn’t a kid
Jokic brick
Leflop got lefouled
Y'all I'm calling out everything that happens be prepared
I feel like it
Bogdan crazy 3
Daddy dirk courtside
Why'd it get so quiet 🙄
Curry carrying badly
They need to play defense
Fr
Still don't understand why joel is playing for USA cuz he from Cameroon
wors bball I saw bro
But Joel is good for the team. He was the best center in the 23-24 sesson. Argue with me all u want but jokic is not as dominant or good. U didn't see him score 70
Which is more important for a basketball career? Stats and Records or Accolades and Legacy?
For me it’s the accolades
I hate ant
bro USA
Take out ant
no he’s freakin not
Put hali in for him anyone
Tatum
even him
If Joel stayed healthy the full season he would have been mvp and had the sixers a top 3 seed
Joel was averaging 35 points
ur right
But he didn’t
But he didn’t tho
So Jokic was the best center last year
and now he’s playing like crap
Joel been good this game?
HELL NO
Dawg
he was standing there while they had a wide open three
go and play some defense bro
This is supposed to be more physical yet Jokic gets every call
fr
and one!!!!!
I would do caps but like
it would say to many caps
we needs jokic foul out
DBOOK
Get forget how good book is
What’s the point of watching USA 5v5 basketball
When we Alr know they gonna win
They were down 15 in every other game.
6 POINT play!!!
Ended up winning by almost 20
Yea but there is like 6 minutes left
bro I hope y’all feel the hype in my texts
I don’t think we do.
Joel finally showing up against Jokic
😭
Tie game!!
Jojo 🔥🔥
You are my sunshine
Stop jokic 😤
Bogdan gonna keep talking now 😂😂
jokic🙅♂️
LeBron TD⁉️⁉️⁉️
#IWasHere
Steph with 34
Holy script
This why kd my goat 🥹
play of the game: keep ant on the bench
Hali and Tatum didn’t even play either tho
Bogdan play game of his Life
Not everyone can play in these games
KD is him
Bogdan isnt him
Curry be messing around after the play so much lol
Gg my boys
Official predictions. Who’s winning gold: USA or France?
Usa
CMON
France got Victor
fr lol
Congratulations to the refs
STEPH
They helped us win the game
MFN
Tbh
CURRY
Bro i just got chills the whole 4th quarter and im not even from america
If it werent cause of curry we woulda won
This was a spiritual experience damn they cooked
Without the refs we are fckin trash and the most overrated country itw
steph curry is insane
steve kerr is a bum
Ty lue
ty embiid
It's a bad day to be noah lyles ngl
I watched him set that not illegal perfect screen for curry to take the lead had a tear on my face
When is the news for season 9 coming out
fr
Wenby (im french )
Looking for rec, 85 three point shot hunter, I was in gold but playing with randoms is bad asf, I am on silver rn
yoo
Can anyone explain to me a reason as to why Tatum and hali like haven’t even gotten off the bench in these Olympics?
I just don’t understand
I’m a bulls fan so I hate the Celtics but I’m confused why he doesn’t even play
Imma be on pc whoever is on that platform
Tatum’s only 19 give him more time
needed quite the help by the refs to win this one huh?
triple double lebron
If accolades meant everything Bill Russell would be the goat
woah bron having 2 of the 4 olympic triple doubles is pretty cool
tho if jokic got one more assist that one game he owul dhave been 2/5 lol
NBA Christmas Day games for the 2024-25 season, per sources:
🎄Spurs at Knicks
🎄Timberwolves at Mavericks
🎄76ers at Celtics
🎄Lakers at Warriors
🎄Nuggets at Suns
Guys I’m back for nba jam playgrounds 2 opponents
Hali I get, because as good as he is offensively, he's not a great defender, but Kerr has no excuse for not giving Tatum any minutes
especially when he's a great perimeter defender, and Serbia was cooking us from the perimeter
Is there gonna be fiba teams?
Heard they were putting Spain’s team in, might be wrong tho.
Okay
Yo
lakers legit play every Christmas game
yall who would win: prime melo, or prime james harden?
which melo
carmelo anthony
i mean yeah obviously
the most popular teams play on christmas its nothing new
Carmelo
if we gonna be fr draymond green the goat
i ❤️ rodney stuckey
do u guys love brittney griner
