[orchid hinge]

[vocal barn]

ngl i feel like coop won't live up to the hype. I'm not saying that he's gonna be a bust, but he's not a gonna be a prodigy either

funny how they hyping up 2nd round bronny vs 1st pick coop tho

[obtuse tundra]

5-100 nice one

[undone veldt]

This more hyped than Zion and LeBron

[vocal barn]

not really. bron was considered as the second coming of christ when he got drafted

[cold fern]

The game shouldn’t have been hyped up the way it was

Ts was sad

[pale solstice]

lived upto the hype

[fluid pier]

Bronny sold last night 💀

[undone veldt]

After this year yes

Lakers ain’t offering him a contract

[fluid pier]

That’s crazy

Who ⁉️😭

[potent karma]

so kobe is overrated guys

[idle orbit]

Jokic is my goat guys

[abstract totem]

Luka really gonna be the new lakers star man

[spark hull]

Needs help

[astral thicket]

Y'all heard tht stupid rumor going around abt cooper flagg and lebron getting trading?

[hollow shard]

Oh my god the raptors are ending the bulls

Disgusting

[neon ibex]

Let's go get some bet

[tribal wave]

Isaiah Jackson

[distant forge]

I saw that almost version like him

[undone veldt]

How tall is he? Compared to Jalen?

[distant forge]

6'0

[undone veldt]

Damm I thought bro was like 5’9 out there😭💀

[distant forge]

Brunson is 6'2

[distant forge]

Like Isaiah Thomas 5'9

Boston Celtics

[undone veldt]

Yeah but then again everyone out there is like 6’5+ so I just thought he was 5’10 and under

[distant forge]

Yes your right

[hollow shard]

Reed Sheppard is a demon

Defensive menace

And a shooting ace

[tiny basin]

https://youtu.be/7rhKanMcsKQ?si=bGo3C0cecX-FLYYd

I beat NBA Player Josh Smith 1v1

[nimble basin]

[fossil citrus]

cooper and ryan is like the next luka and brunson

[hot heath]

😂

[teal otter]

wait

doesnt cooper flagg play n32

[surreal coral]

.

[slender shell]

lol

[solar badge]

gang what

Luka and cooper are the same
Now?

let’s get this straight

fat luka does not play d

would rather complain to
Refs

[distant forge]

Yes

Wait That's not Cooper is next Luka 💀

[short ermine]

Yes i do

[distant forge]

That unexpected move sent the player to the new team.

[slender shell]

none of these were unexpected except maybe ayton

[fossil citrus]

ok bro pipe down i was just pointing out

and i meant like luka and brunson

[brave ravine]

Luke kornet 😍😍😍

[pulsar topaz]

My AAU team just won 74-6

[abstract swallow]

they cooking you but they don’t see the vision yet

[tawny jasper]

Bro why do you got curry on the mavs bro. You and everyone here knows that is NEVER happening

Straight blasphemy

[abstract swallow]

he’s fav player is curry probably and he’s team is mavs and that’s it

[tawny jasper]

So be a warriors fan tf. That’s some Drake level cornball activity

It’s like putting LeBron on the bulls hell nah

[abstract swallow]

he don’t need be warriors fan to like curry a lot

i like giannis and that’s dosen’t mean i should be bucks fan

[tawny jasper]

But it doesn’t also mean you put a picture of him on the mavs now does he?

[abstract swallow]

no but if he likes it who stopping him to have it

[tawny jasper]

It’s like me taking Tatum and throwing him on the lakers

[tawny jasper]

I’m not saying he can’t have it. I’m just saying it makes him a Cornball

[spark hull]

Coop vs Harper

[hollow shard]

I don’t see coop winning roty but that’s just me ig

[solar badge]

Luka is fat

agreed.

[solar badge]

it will not be him

won’t have enough statx

stats

[hollow shard]

His team is too stacked and there is too much competition this draft

[solar badge]

yeah but it won’t be Dylan Harper either

for same reason

[hollow shard]

Yep

They’re both gonna be insane though still

[solar badge]

yeah they will play well

[hollow shard]

Helping their team go far in the playoffs

[solar badge]

spurs vs mavericks first round matchup

[hollow shard]

Would be crazy

[solar badge]

frfr

need a lakers vs mavericks series too though

for obvious reasons

[hollow shard]

Lakers are hopeless

They just can’t go far with this sorry team

I guarantee ayton is gonna be injured going into the playoffs

[solar badge]

yeah but I’m just imagining mavericks being clearly better than lakers, but then Luka starts averaging 40 page

ppg*

and lakers win in 7

[hollow shard]

I just can’t see the lakers beating the Mavs

[fossil citrus]

chill out bro its just a pfp

[hollow shard]

Seems impossible for me

[solar badge]

i know, Im just saying if Luka goes super saiyan

[solar badge]

your team is too injury prone btw to win

AD and Kyrie bout to be on the sidelines together by playoffs

[hollow shard]

Even if Luka averages 40 they still wouldn’t win ngl

Lakers have no defense whatsoever

[solar badge]

okay thats crazy combined with LeBron and reaves scoring

[solar badge]

Ayton is about to turn into Olajuwon on defense, and embiid on offense

frfr

[hollow shard]

Luka reaves ayton and rui are allowing 40ppg each on their heads though

[solar badge]

160 ppgz.

lol

[hollow shard]

Yeah lmao

It’s just a lineup bound to fail

[solar badge]

I personally agree with you

thzt reaves should be traded

for 2 defensive players

they should target melton too

but im thinking if pelicans are bad this year

then maybe herb jones will be available

[solar badge]

but btw Luka can still improve on defense

he has the ability to get better

[abstract swallow]

Ayton won’t be this good how ppl talks about him tbh

[solar badge]

another mavs fan

[abstract swallow]

so?

[solar badge]

check what happened last time ayton had a good pg

[hollow shard]

The problem with Luka is that he doesn’t want to sacrifice his offense for defense

[solar badge]

he was a key piece of a finals team in the suns

[hollow shard]

If he focused on becoming a defensive minded player he would become a much greater team threat

But he just doesn’t want to sacrifice his stats

[solar badge]

I mean let’s be honest here, yeah I agree

but his shotmaking and playmaking

already more than make up for his defensive ahortcomings

he might give up 40 ppg

but he creates about 55 ppg

he definitely could improve his defense

but it’s not necessary

but Luka already looks skinny this off-season

so we’ll see

Lukas about to be athletic 🔥

[spark hull]

Mavs in 6

Nobody on that team guarding kyrie

[spark hull]

I’ll give spurs 2nd

Okc and spurs conference finals is a must in a year or two

[solar badge]

u mean spurs?

yeah

[spark hull]

Yeah

Spurs summer lg looks good

[tame surge]

Probably but he’ll still get drafted as long as he has a good sophomore year

A couple years ago brandon miller was facing way more serious allegations and he still ended up being drafted second

Obviously he’s not as good as a prospect as miller was but still

[fossil citrus]

Oh my gosh coop has 30

[tame surge]

He’s been so much better off the ball

[fossil citrus]

Fr

[tame surge]

And he’s settling for less jumpers too he’s been getting a lot of free throws off driving to the rim

Everyone was overreacting over one game lol

[fossil citrus]

I know bruh

He just needed some time

[tame surge]

Yeah

[hollow shard]

Coop already getting the superstar treatment in the summer league

[spark hull]

He gave yall buckets

[abstract swallow]

he needs improve game from 3s and he will be so good and complete

[tame surge]

His shot actually looked pretty good today aside from that one airball

bron won roy

jordans steals were stat padded

I think curry is the greatest player of all time. Attack me haha!

everyone’s list is 1000% opinion based and who people loved watching the most.

For me i can watch curry play any day of the week. The impact he made on basketball with the three point shot is incredible. For that reason in my opinion he is my favorite player of all time and i believe the greatest because of his impact.

[worthy osprey]

facts!

[tawny jasper]

I mean he deserves to be in the debate. If he was in the plumber era, we are in the flopper era. If we want to talk about stat padding this is the era for it. Lebron and his flopping. It took buddy 80 seconds to get up from being poked in the eye.

[tawny jasper]

So did Mike

[tawny jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-flopjames-gif-21709169

[pale solstice]

whats this supposed to mean

shai does it all the time and won mvp

[tawny jasper]

And I know some of you will talk about how he had a super team. However remember bron has had more 1st round picks on his team like Kyrie, Luka, ayton, etc

[pale solstice]

ayton is washed

also that means nothing btw

[tawny jasper]

He constantly cries about not having a super team but when he gets help he’s upset. Pick a struggle bron

[pale solstice]

lakers only good year was 2020 coming from a lakers fan

the teams he went against were always better than his

he played in the hardest era of all time

the 2010s are the most dominant era oat

[tawny jasper]

Of course because you can stop eating LeMeat and realize how true what I say is

[tawny jasper]

Jordan’s bulls in the 90s never went to a game 7

[pale solstice]

what comp did jordan go against?

[tawny jasper]

He threpeated THEN RETIRED, came back and threepeated again

[pale solstice]

bron went against unanimous mvp curry, 2014 kawhi and tim duncan

not only was it curry he went against, it was draymond, klay, and kd too, who are all hof players

[tawny jasper]

MJ faced more hall of famers then bron has

[pale solstice]

thats 4 hof players on 1 team

[pale solstice]

lets speak real facts and not lie

[tawny jasper]

MJs competiton was Shaq, Ai, Kobe, Malone, Stockton, bird, Magic, Ewing, Barkley, kemp, Payton, Dr J, Larry Johnson, Alonzo Morning, Mutumbo

[tawny jasper]

On top of this list

[pale solstice]

Brons competion was Kobe AND shaq

Along with 4 hofers

on 1 team

[tawny jasper]

Shaq broke up with lakers when bron entered

[pale solstice]

Went against tim duncan who has 5 rings

[tawny jasper]

Tim Duncan never repeated though did he?

How bout bron?

[pale solstice]

a year after he was drafted

[tawny jasper]

Has bron ever repeated?

[pale solstice]

bron has won back to back wym

[tawny jasper]

When

[pale solstice]

2012-2013

[tawny jasper]

2011? With his super team?

It’s okay for bron to have a superteam but if MJ has one it’s an issue

[pale solstice]

Has jordan completed a 3-1 comback against the greatest team ever?

[pale solstice]

not what im saying

does jordan have the most points in nba history?

[tawny jasper]

No because he was always up and won in a game 6 when he was down 20

[pale solstice]

is jordan top 10 in almost every stat?

[tawny jasper]

Lebron played longer that’s the only reason why. Besides why does your guy wear the same number as the goat?

https://tenor.com/view/okay-bulls-blazers-michael-jordan-idk-gif-5619473

This the real 23

[pale solstice]

thats not an argument

jordan was a gambling addict at 40

while bron is still scoring 25

[tawny jasper]

What do you mean, your mans couldn’t stick with 6 bro HAD TO BE 23

Bro wants to be Mike so bad

[pale solstice]

how could he when it was retired across the league??

your sick in the brain???

lebron is 1 all time in playoff points

4th all time in assists

1st all time in playoff assists

[tawny jasper]

Yet still has more rings, DPOY, all defensive first teams, all nba first teams, ROTY, dunk contest champion, more all star selections, more scoring titles all before the age of 35

[pale solstice]

1st all time in steals

[tawny jasper]

Bron still can’t come close at the age of 40

[pale solstice]

jordan was stat padded for dopy and jts been said already

[tawny jasper]

Did I forget his gold medals?

[pale solstice]

dunk contest means nothing

doesnt have more all star selections

doesnt have more scoring titles

[tawny jasper]

Did you even check?

[tawny jasper]

Yet he didn’t even play in all of them

[pale solstice]

the only thing jordan has is scoring titles

[tawny jasper]

Bro literally sat last all star

[tawny jasper]

Rings

DPOY

All first teams for defense and nba

[pale solstice]

bill russell is the goat then

since we talk about rings

[tawny jasper]

As a Celtics fans I agree with this

[pale solstice]

like i said 40 times already jordan was stat padded for his dpoy

i can even pull highlights jordan wouldnt ever fathom of doing

LeBron is 40 dunking on 7ft bigs

Shooting from 30ft

[tawny jasper]

All before Scottie pippen joined for that “super team”

[pale solstice]

And backing down anyone

[pale solstice]

The year jordan retired they won 58 games??

they didnt need jordan

Lebron is 6’9 ofc its gonna look like he doesnt jump as high

What does that even have to do with bron

[pale solstice]

jordan was a slasher not a shooter?

how can you be better then someone if you dont shoot better

[pale solstice]

ofc if he jumps before someone hes getting the dunk

thats how it works

if he were to really jump at the same time as him hes getting snatched

[tawny jasper]

What’s this bro

Wanna talk about hesi right?

[pale solstice]

a close 3 btw

im talking about from half

[tawny jasper]

A game winning hesi pull

Not some half court buzzer

For the lead at halftime

[tawny jasper]

Buddy had D rose on him who didn’t even jump

Literally put his hand on his elbow

[pale solstice]

it doesnt matter? its a half court shot???

how does that make him worse if the person doesnt contest him

whos expecting a 6’9 mid range/dunker to make that?

bron was doing that in highschool btw

if jordan is the goat then why wasnt he drafted out of highschool

[tawny jasper]

Anybody can make it when your not contested

[tawny jasper]

Because he went to collage 🤦‍♂️

[pale solstice]

no??

[pale solstice]

bron didnt have to go to college

[pale solstice]

2nd clip is a basic pull up middy btw

2 defenders while playing Jordan rules

[pale solstice]

yea we can take it to dm if you really want it but ian worried about you son

[tawny jasper]

Do you know what Jordan rules was?

The "Jordan Rules" in the NBA refer to a defensive strategy employed by the Detroit Pistons in the late 1980s to contain Michael Jordan. It involved a combination of physical defense, double and triple-teaming, and forcing Jordan into unfavorable positions on the court. The Pistons aimed to neutralize Jordan's impact by making him uncomfortable, forcing him to give up the ball, or taking difficult shots

Never did bron ever have to play against these rules

[nova terrace]

lol

[grave fractal]

Yo bro we have a 2k franchise we would be down for you join so as 7 other people drop you user if you down PlayStation if anyone down

[weary kraken]

why has curry never hit a 99 ovr

[teal otter]

bro do you know basketball??

he has one of the most lethal midrange games ever

he jumps, handles, shoots, defends better then bron

Sure he has the scoring title, but mj played way less time in the league and still got 30k+ pts

and 6-0 in finals??

Against magic, stockalone, charles barkley and gary payton and shawn kemp??

U gotta stop it

MJ wasnt going around memeing

He means buisness

Kobe not top 3 all time

[viscid musk]

and jordan lost to these rules bro

watchu trynna say

[teal otter]

he learned to grow with them, went to the gym, stacked up and blew the pistons

watch the last dance

[viscid musk]

yes watch all 10 hours of a documentary glazing michael jordan

[teal otter]

it is a bit glazing, but it clearly shows mj overcoming the pistons

In the end he cooked em

and thats facts

[viscid musk]

thats great

he got better !

overcame a challenge !

i guess we shoudl all call him the goat because he overcame one defensive strategy

that is such a weak point bro

great players will struggle against great defensive strategies

lebron had it in 2011 against the mavs and jordan had it two consecutive years against the pistons

saying jordans better than bron cuz he played against good defensive strategies is such a weak argument

[tawny jasper]

Arguing a whole 24 hours later is crazy

And no he won a championship that year against the pistons in ECF

[viscid musk]

what year

he lost twice before that

multiple times

cant rmb exactly

[minor elk]

Lebron to arriors?

[minor elk]

Lebron had to face prime spurs, and warriors?

[viscid musk]

twin I never said that

u started by saying mj is significantly better rhan bron bc he never faced a great defensive strategy

the mj rules

which is a weak ahh argument because I pointed out bron also faced elite defensive coaches and strategies

[viscid musk]

did u see his roster?

it’s a feat that he BROGUHT thise rosters to the finals

see how he could actualky win with proper help

mj never won without pippen

bron never won without Kyrie wade or ad

bringing up finals losses is just so ignorant towards the full context

how many times Jordan WAA eliminated first round and 2nd round?

Also bron had to face three multiple super teams

late spurs prime warriors and the big 4 celtics

[fading spruce]

apart from them wen he was on heat etc

[viscid musk]

give the man some help and he will bring you a chip

[viscid musk]

what

[fading spruce]

i would disagree to some of the ratings 4 sure but even most nba players say mj the goat

btw kobe #2 all time

[viscid musk]

alr bruh

this is outrageous

[fading spruce]

5 rings

lbj had bosh,dwade

klove,kyrie

2020 bubble ring was just garbage

[viscid musk]

why

[fading spruce]

not once did bro have to single handedly win a ring he always had a supporting cast

[viscid musk]

and mj?

[fading spruce]

uh is u dumb?

[viscid musk]

give me some reasons bro

why was the bubble ring illegitmate

would it have been better if bron lost?

[fading spruce]

most of the teams best players were injured

[viscid musk]

such as

[fading spruce]

take the warriors for example?

no klay thompson?

[viscid musk]

they went 15 and 50 in the regular season

bro they didnt even make th eplayoffs

what are you on about

[fading spruce]

exactly? my point

[viscid musk]

so if klay wasnt injured th warriors wouldve won the 2020 bubbles chip

[fading spruce]

lakers had no comp are u ight?

[viscid musk]

great take

[fading spruce]

did i say that

[viscid musk]

ur referencing that

or

[fading spruce]

oh sure

[viscid musk]

it looks like ur trying to get to that

the warriors if healthy was gon beat bron in 2020

[fading spruce]

what team goes from geting past the second round for 3+ years just to not make the playoffs

[viscid musk]

this roster

the roster is why

even with klay

can you find any decent role players?

dlo and wiggins wasnt even averaging 20 even with a lot of shots and poor efficiecy

[fading spruce]

cuz no one wanted to hoop in the pandemic

they was all in orlando

no family nothin

[viscid musk]

they went 15-50 before the bubble

in normal arenas

twin

[fading spruce]

and u expect them all to play at their elite level?

[viscid musk]

only the last couple games and playoffs were in the actual bubble

[viscid musk]

expect who

who is elite on this roster

draymond klay steph

great

who else

this is a terrible take bro

Lillard will use the 2025-26 season to rehabilitate a torn Achilles tendon, but a return to the franchise and Portland where his family and kids reside were of the ultimate importance. He also had multiple mid-level exception and minimum offers from NBA contenders.

Portland traded Damian Lillard for Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, and assets in 2023 -- then Holiday to Boston for Robert Williams III, Malcolm Brogdon and assets.

Now, the Blazers have both Lillard and Holiday, plus Williams, Camara, a 2029 first-rounder and two Bucks swaps.
