Bc we win
They buns
Look at your profile pic
Iām down to run too
Thatās a opinion not a firm reason
Why are they buns?
They lowkey just buns
Thatās just not a reason
Why tho?
Lot of teams better than them
Name em
How yall lose to the warriors in the finals?
5 years ago against The best pg of all time?
Lost solely to curry that warriors team was horrible
If Celtics were good they would have won
You can say the same to bron bron
Cake walk schedule
And so was that Celtics team
Yo bro
You donāt watch basketball?
Woah lets leave Lebron outta this
Yo bro you clearly donāt
This is a IRL chat and you talking about anime just leave bro
Bron still lost to curry a dude shorter than him
6ā0 kings beat 6ā9
Oh ok my b
Man we gonna leave you out discussions big bro @tawny jasper
BACK TO the question
Wavymello is that you ?
Team game my guy
This like 0/10 rage bait
I said spin move
Who that
Give me 5 teams that are so much better than the Celtics @gritty sundial
Thunder, rockets, nuggets, wolves, Cavs, Knicks
Cavs, thunder, rockets, mavs, knicks
Lebrons 17
Just to name a few
Rockets.
Mavs, wolves, lakers Knicks, pacers
Why we sneaking in the Mavs šš
Iām not even mad at the pistons over the Celtics
Mavs got bailed
Yes šš
Wavy you donāt know ball
We serious dog
Wish I was around the KG era
Yep
Indeed
This year we are cooked fs
Rockets will be good
2nd apron wonāt allow dynastyās anymore and I love it
How yall lose to the pacers
Well actually I think the thunder will be dominant for atleast 7 years but otherwise
The HALIBAN cooked bombed Boston
Thunder better than Celtics
Cmon.
Wym cmon
Thunder have so much draft capital and a young big 3
Thatās gonna be the norm now though
Yo sixth chat gpt is nice aināt it
Yes I agree with most but ngl it was annoying watching the warriors play, the nba was not watchable for casuals in the slightest
I think no modern player will win more than 4 rings or anything anymore and idk how I feel about that
Yo whoever is deleting our messages can u tell us what we are saying?
I prob have biased cause the wolves benefiting so much š
Give #šrules a read and if you have questions, make a ticket through that channel.
We talking nba šš
You still have to follow the rules, that's why I'm recommending giving the rules a read before you continue.
Angel Reese better than Caitlin Clark
Thatās not ridiculous š¤·āāļø
it's a little ridiculous
If she shot those numbers in the nba she wouldnāt have a job
yeah exactly
Wait both of them honestly
I donāt watch the wnba so I dont have a takes
VJ edgecombe was the steal of the draft
Bro lived off a generator thatās a hunger that canāt be fed he is dunking on anyone and everyone
@plain cypress please make this the cover instead š
Angel Reese is horrible
Orlando
its the fans bro
that cover would be tugh
raptors just signed alex sarr brother wth

biggest dream to just play for any team even for gigago monopolizes
2k26 New park leak
Which edition of 2k should i get yall ?
Angel Reese
Naw itās either melo or shai
Legend
I donāt got legend edition money can you spare some change
Grown man excited to play 2k
What can I say bro I love the game
to play the only decent basketball game*
Decent is a stretch
said decent cuz if I said only basketball game then youd say umm actually there some basketball games
not my main court tho lol been there like two times
my main chopped too tho
I wouldnāt say that
y'all people preordering the game without knowing half of what it's gonna be liked and not being able to know "edition" from "addition" really showing a lot š
That tells you everything you need to know about the 2k fan base
fr
U thought i actually pre ordered it šš
You not wrong
Yo sixxth you still talking bro
? did my ability to talk expire
I mean your basketball takes are horrendous so you straight if you not talking about it
Man you tried to tell me Coby White was straight buns
Yup
I asked you to tell me another non-all star and non-all NBA player you thought was actually good and all I got was radio silence
Yea kaneki might be ri
You couldn't even tell me why Coby White was buns
Cuz i said so
I don't even have a reason to be defending Coby White anyways, I don't care about the bulls nor do I care about him as a player, but he's far from a bad basketball player. Especially compared with the other players on the Bulls
He not even better than Tyus Jones
Josh Diddy
Like you guys are talking about "oh your basketball takes are bad", "oh you don't know ball", and haven't done a single thing to show how you do know ball
Josh giddy needs to be put on watch fr
Legal stuff aside, Giddey is one of the better players on the bulls. I'd personally say him, Coby White, and Vuc are the 3 best, with Matas coming for one of those spots ASAP
Matas has potential I just think he needs more time in the oven
He also dog
Agreed. Good frame, just needs to get more comfortable and more experience. In 3-5 years I could see him start to make a few all star appearances as the best player on the team. Could be less than that if he develops quicker than expected
Kobe is top 5 all time argue wit a wall
Kobe is like 10 imo. Top 5 is Lebron/Jordan, Kareem, Magic, and the fifth can vary but I like Bill Russell or Tim Duncan as the 5th
Lebron
Mj
Kareem
Kobe
Timmy
Magic
Larry
Curry
Shaq
we deadass rn?
Absolutely
Bill Russell deserves to be in the top 5 imo
11 chips? Yeah thatās top 5 if not goat debate
kobe nice but he not top 5 all time on bro three of them rings was shaq carryin and when kobe was the main guy he was forcing too much missed the most shots ever and wasnt efficient like that he wasnt a playmaker either just a bucket getter legends like bron mj kareem magic even duncan got more impact more consistency kobe top 10 easy but not top 5 respectfully
I get the whole āplumber eraā but the point is he had a lot of success
No goaltending
No 3 seconds
8 teams
No three point line
I mean it wasnāt that hard tbh for bill
Still 11 chips? Thats impressive tho
he got 8 chips back to back
he up there fs
and fmvp wasnt even a thing back in the day so he prolly woulda had at least 8 fmvp
Shaq needed Kobe as much as Kobe needed shaq, magic doesnāt get slack for his rings with Kareem who is the best center oat. Kobe then been to 3 straight finals without Shaq or a top 75 player at that. Ppl bring up efficiency Kobe is one of the greatest contested shot makers oat, played the two way great, Kobe is better then Duncan, every playoff series heās been more efficient then Duncan and cuncan had a hof coach and the same core his whole career
Look at the era he played in also
kobe cold no doubt but letās not act like shaq wasnāt the main force in them first 3 rings bro got all 3 finals mvps and was straight dominating magic had kareem yeah but he was leadin the squad and winning mvps as a rookie
yeah he hit tough shots but takin hard shots donāt mean itās smart basketball efficiency still matters bron and jordan made it look easier and still killed on defense he was solid but not always lockdown like that and duncan was just consistent all around never no drama stayed efficient got 5 rings too and was leadin his squad same way
Well Duncan was fin leave in 2003 to go play wit Tracy injured ahh but who would cause drama when they had Gregg pop and guys that wanted it just as much as him his whole career also with kawhi down the line. Kobe sent him home 4 times with and without Shaq
nah brudda duncan aināt just āfin leaveā he was injured but still played hard when he could and the team was built around him and pop not just kawhi later on kobe mightāve sent duncan home some times but duncanās consistency and defense shut down way tougher squads over the years kobe had flashy moments but duncanās steady all-around game and 5 rings show he was the real boss over the long run
Kobe stayed steady too until he got hurt 2012+ but he stayed loyal and aināt want to go ring chase like Shaq after Miami
Anybody got advice to become a 2k YouTuber

Peak hoops
this aint even a hot take ts just trueš
He is top 4-5
š¤Ø
Honestly prime lebron was really good at fadeaways
Look at Tatum man so inspirational
honestly he was good at anything
he would be in HOF even if he was 5"11 or HOF in the NFL or even 10x olympic gold for swimming
Yall how do i get a good server on 2K24 xbox? like im trynna play 24 again but there is nobody on the game and ive seen people playing on tiktok
How many mvps would lebron have if the criteria of an mvp is solely based off of their performance alone
Jalen Brunson is a monster
Thatās because they posted it a year ago
Or repost clips a year later. They shut down the servers like last December
Heās buns
like 8
ngl it could be even like 18
cuz 27 7 7 is crazy
the servers arent shut down gng
Lukaaa
Just in on @āSportsCenter -- Luka Doncic lands a $165M extension with the Lakers six months to the day of his stunning trade out of Dallas:
For MyCareer Iām pretty sure
they aint cuz there are players but its rlly little amount
Nvm I guess
Luka Jokic Sga
Jokic for MVP
Couldnāt agree more
Facts
Should've won last year ngl
New story: Luka Doncicās contract extension represents a āmonumental moment in Lakers history,ā says Rob Pelinka https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45887921/newly-extended-luka-doncic-ready-chase-titles-lakers
MVP tainted and watered down anymore. Voters get tired of rewarding the same person. ā¹ļø
You can steal mine. Iām used to losing things. Like my dad.
Can someone give me a web site or some to watch college opr any league films pls??
it ll reallly help me ty
Bronny should develop in the g league before he does games in the nba
he been back and forth with g-league and nba
22
Hell yeah brother
Tatum is better than Luka
jokic sga giannis luka dmitch tatum
Cap
wat does this mean
Look at Tatum man so inspirational
Why do I see dmitch in the same category as these dudes
2 days later and you still got no ball knowledge
No ball knowledge

True or false: Healthy embiid is better than Jokic
Hell no
Buddy healthy is a d1 flopper
embiid disrespect is crazy
Not that embid is better than jokic when healthy but I agree
They disrespecting him like crazy
Embiid is very good when healthy (which is what makes his flopping all the more frustrating, he doesn't need to be doing all that when he has the skill to score without it, but I digress), but he's not better than Jokic I don't think. I feel pretty comfortably that Jokic is the best player in the league, trailed very closely by Shai and Giannis, and then followed by Luka, Tatum, Steph (we'll have to see if he regresses much this season), Bron (See Steph), Brunson, and DMitch
Mvp calibre
I still have no idea how steph is still top 5
Or 6
His game doesn't really rely much on athleticism, so he's still able to be pretty effective as he gets older. That said, there are still some games where he š©s the bed just because he's not the player he used to be. But he's been dragging that weak Warriors team to the playoffs each year. He has Butler now which should help, but Butler is also getting older
Yep hes really inconsistent
If someone tried to tell me Steph was 10th instead of the 6-8 range I think he is, I wouldn't blame them, especially if they're assuming he'll regress this year. But I'm shocked at how good he can still be sometimes
Like that olympic performance was the perfect example. Useless in the first few games, unstoppable in the last 2 games
He relies on offball movement so im sure he will get extremely washed once his lungs give up
Steph def 10
Or a bit lower
Stat wise, cade better than him
If i remember correctly
That one game he dropped 2 pts and then a few games later he drops 50 š
Cade really shocked me with how good he was last year. I think him and Paolo are definitely both part of the "next up" group of young stars
LMAO I remember that, it was wild
I'm just glad to see the Warriors downfall after how long they were good LMAO like Idk what it was but the Spurs dynasty was much easier to like and support and appreciate
Maybe it's just the fact that they were the best team in the league and then added KD
like if Bron went to the Spurs instead of Miami
I still like the warriors even after its dynasty days
Lets be real curry lowk helped kd a lot to get those stats in the 3 years hes with them
The soul of the team had always been curry so i hope he and his team get well
Yeah but as much as I like KD as a player, part of the fun for me was seeing them face off. It felt kinda lame when they teamed up because it felt like KD accepting defeat
It isnt a feeling , its facts
Kd gave up on trying to be competitive
And chose the easy way
Yeah exactly
But watching heart broken mvp westbrook is entertaining
Name ur 20
- Nikola JokiÄ
- Giannis Antetokounmpo
- Luka DonÄiÄ
- Kevin Durant

- Joel Embiid

Debate me
S-tier ragebait
Im not beinf disrespectful btw its ur opinion so even if its ragebait or not doesnt really matter
š
Wthelly š
I think imo Edwardās gotta be further up especially for his shooting splits
Wdym? Luka lost in the finals. NGL Tatum is better.
Not to say Luka is Bad but heās a laker so you already know Iām hating for the love of the game
In all of your opinions. Who of all the past rookies from the last 5 years do you see being a LeBron caliber player
Or face of league
I am a huge "Shai is good but he gets a lot of help from generous calls from the refs" truther, but to say he's the 7th best, behind Embiid and an old Kevin Durant, is kind of egregious
you see its ragebait
yeah there's no way someone actually believes all that
Paul George being on the list gives it away
bro has more podcast episodes in the past year than he does games played
vc dm me
Spurs coming
deaaron for 229??
million???
spurs just got robbed in broad daylight
wemby rookie contract sad asl
Just in on NBA Today -- Spurs star guard De'Aaron Fox lands a $229 million max deal six months after a trade to his preferred destination of San Antonio:
lwk just touched the rim today
Not even a spurs fan but I feel like spurs should be top 5 if Wemby stays healthy
Letās go wetbananas and swipa need that chip
No
Can we get more mocap suits to do animations instead of Ai scanning gameplay
Baddie alert
Paolo mvp yr loading
Why u say this
I jus feel like he's gonna take that leap into the mvp convos this yr
More hope than anything
no lebron
This guy knows ball
pg???
hell naq
no wemby is actually crazy
if he didnt get injured he would have won dpoy
@patent rover Over the great barrier thief.
he definitely rage baiting im not even gonna say anything lol
Embiid so cooked
Paul George isnāt even top 25
No LeBron in top 20
Can we ban him
???
LeBron still Top 20
Yea no basketball knowledge
Kids man
You gotta be under15 years old
Kids be saying anything
Lmfao
Unless I see more than 50k Iām not talking to you
Top 10 sg
Bald
His knee injury is bad
Waif why the hell did embid play for team usa again
He wanted gold
It cost him tho
I mean he is prob african
Top 10 SG, top 50 player. Not sure where in the top 50 but definitely up there. For me, probably somewhere in the low 30s. His availability (he rarely ever misses games), his 2 way talent, being able to be effective on both ends of the floor, and his IQ and skills make him a very good plug and play player.
He had the option to play for France, but chose not to so he could chase the Gold with the US
can't ring chase so has to medal chase LOL
Tf
The guy is NOT French nor American
He has French Citizenship
Surprising
he is from Cameroon, but chose not to play there
I can see why
Yo anyone experienced an ACL tear and done surgery?
My dad. Got it playing soccer, said it didnāt hurt but he just felt a pop and couldnāt get up. He went surgery and full recovery took him ~1.5 years where he couldnāt even run. Still not as good as he used to be but he can play
Niang returns to Utah now and his salary goes into the massive John Collins trade exception along with two draft assets. The move allows the Celtics have more salary relief below the second apron.
RJ Lewis Jr bruh who is that š
Boucher departs Toronto where he has the all-time franchise record in points, rebounds, blocks, minutes and games played off the bench. He also was the Raptors' last remaining member of the 2019 NBA championship team.
Finally celtics got a big
Bro is not going to do anything
I'm not saying he's gonna win us the championship lmao we just needed to have a big
Our big man rotation before was thin and weak to say the least
Yall lucky mannnn
I love Queta but I don't think he's a starting caliber center
Boucher is so underrated
Why would Celtics trade POrzingis?
They had to to get under the second apron. If they didn't trade Jrue Holiday and Porzingis this year, they would've been stuck paying a ridiculously large amount of money in the luxury tax due to the second apron. By trading both Jrue, Porzingis, and now Niang, they are under the second apron, which will help them to have the flexibility to make better trades at the trade deadline and better signings next off season, due to Simons's expiring 20M contract. I believe Garza, Minott, and Boucher are all on 1 year deals as well, which helps.
They weren't going to win the championship this year anyways with no Tatum so it was better to take a gap year and then come back stronger
I ain't reading allat gng āļøš
That makes sense. Iām a hawks fan so I was like āwhy would Celtics trade himā
it's barely a paragraph bruh LOL
Yeah ultimately I think we wanted to keep him, but keeping him would've meant getting rid of either White or Brown to stay under the salary cap, or paying a ridiculous amount in luxury tax. And as much as we like having him, he doesn't play a ton due to various injuries.
I mean itās something so
RJ Luis Jr?
Bro averages 1 rebound during the playoffs and played 37 games this season with a mysterious illness. I love Tingus Pingus but it was his time to dip
Who tf? lol
an undrafted player who signed a two way contract with the Jazz. He was the Big East Player Of The Year in college this past year, before having a poor game in the Round of 32, which lead to him falling out of the draft
No idea if he will pan out but it's mostly just to get off of Niang's contract and get under the second apron
Money
Literally just money
I blame CJ McCollum for the fuckass CBA
he literally only constructed it this way bc he was pissed off after getting consistent belt from the GSW
Iām so serious
CJ MidCollum
Ong
Literally no team could ever be constructed like the warriors were back in the late 2010s
If they tried
CJ would punish them through the CBA
ššš
This 2nd apron stuff caps teams so much
0 all star appearancesššš¾
Cj McCollum only created the CBA because he couldnāt beat prime Dub warriors. Sounds like he should have asked for a trade
Cj needs to be put on NBA trial for this Ngl
Who got a good build for 2k25

Free agent forward Riley Minix is re-signing with the San Antonio Spurs on a two-way NBA deal, sources tell ESPN. Minix spent his rookie season last year with San Antonio's G League team and played one game for the Spurs.

Madden??
HELP
Cappin
rate the top 10 list
1.Jordanš
1A. Bron
3.kareem
4. Duncan
5. Kobe
6. Magic
7. Shaq
8. Curry
9. Bird
10. Hakeem
Ngl people put Kareem at 3 likes heās a lock or something. Honestly to me Kareem can be anywhere from 4-8
Kobe most overrated player OAT
Mmmmmmm
yo can i sent a survey in here about social mdia and the nba
That is insane to say. I think Kareem is definitely a lock at 3. It's pretty comfortable Jordan and Bron at 1 and 2 in whatever order you prefer, and then Kareem at 3. He was kind of the original Lebron, in terms of longevity. 20 years in the NBA on TOP of playing in college, which Lebron didn't. His resume, just in the NBA, is insane.
19x All Star
15x All-NBA
11x All Defensive Team
6x MVP
6x NBA Champion
4x Block Champion
2x Scoring Champion
Even at 38 years old, he put up stats of 23.4 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1.6 blocks, good enough for 5th in MVP voting and All NBA First Team.
I think Kobe is 10th, but I could see an argument anywhere from 14-7. He was very good, one of the best of all time, but he was inefficient at times, and you really have to split hairs when it comes to the best of the best
@daring elm im gonna take over iso okay?
but then again he was a two way monster
Yeah so was almost everyone in the top 10 LOL
Is magic considered a two way monster
He is 6ā9
But idk about his interior
He had good height, and he was a good defender. Not an insane defender, but a pretty good one. He wasn't as fast as the shorter guards he faced, but his height and length helped him out a lot
No
Lowk curryās d in his prime is pretty underated
People consider him as a defense liability
Curry was far from a great defender, but he was definitely a good defender, and good enough to help them win. For what it's worth, Magic Johnson's defensive rating for his career was 104.5 and Steph's is 108.6
I mean ye he did lead the league in steals at one point
Hes solid -> good so def not a liability
Even now i still think his d is good enough š
Yeah exactly
It's getting worse as he ages but it's not so bad yet that it loses them games
Itd be better if u dont play 26 lmao
Im deadass
Its the same as 25 if u alr have 25
If u dont then just get it on phone for free
Not worth the money
Nah
U shouldt have gotten it while its free
For like a month
THIS RANDOM. How can I improve my
Basketball handles? I have the worst handles I have a foam basketball and just been dribbling around the house I have noticed a slight improvement. Can even just dribbling the ball around the house improve my Basketball handles? Even tho I only have a foam ball? And how long before I start to see improvements? Been getting frustrated lately. And just wanna improve my basketball handles.
Keep doing what youāre doing, play basketball the game, and maybe watch some beginner handles and footwork yt videos and incorporate it. Since youāre a beginner thatās the only advice I have for you, but it sounds like youāre doing good
When you improve a little more and get good at transferring the ball with crossovers and maybe a tween no matter how bad or slow it is. Take a tennis ball (which is what I prefer) or any small bouncy ball and start bouncing it, pulling out moves youād do with a full size basketball. That will train hand eye coordination
Yo you need a win what bet app you use, am gonna send what I got š¤š°
You can have steals and still be a bad defender
Debate question 2019 harden or 2016 Steph Curry who was better
2019 harden by far
2025 sga was better than currys every individual season imagine james harden
holy L ball knowledge
2025 sga has more free throws than any player on his prime
2019 harden was cooking but 2017 and 2022 curry was better

Michah Larson traded to lions!!!!!!!
?
whose better point guard
steph or magic
Realistically put magic 1st all time and Steph 2nd but imo Steph is best pg because of scoring and ability to get a bucket on demand magic was more of a playmaker aka passer in my opinion
But to each of its own
steph no doubt
Exactly why i said hes good not excellent at d
It doesnt say everything but it certainly means something
Ill be honest with you
Just play
It will gradually get better
Dont repeat my mistake and practice it too much alone
When is magic adding this to his bag
He actually has the least out of all the scoring champs. It's crazy how people just blindly believe narratives.
You cant just compare FTAs between scoring champs
different teams
different years
different pace
thats why steph is better
Steph way better than shai
i mean ye
Tyrese or ant ?

he actually did nothing better than westbrook on his prime
Lebrons haters trying to not personally attack anyone who praises lebron challenge
Okc westbrook> Okc Shai
Houston Chris Paul> Boston kyrie
2015-2019 steph> Larry Bird and kevin durant
Giannis>AD
Jokic>Booker
Well I was talking about free throws. But you right, he didn't. He just won a championship.
People gonna be mad bout that 3rd one
I mean ye giannis is pretty much 2nd best PF oat
Not even a debate
- Steph Curry carried Kevin Durant. they donāt watch the games stuff always got double teamed remember 2019 when the durant and cuzzins went down, he literally carried alongside Klay Thompson and almost won vs toronto alone (he wouldāve had very high scoring nights like 40 in the playoffs. If he had LeBron James team, the proof is 2021. He literally average 40 in April with a shitmix team).2. Larry Bird is too slow. He would get absolutely mauled by defenders like Draymond Green, Jrue, Holiday, and other perimeter defenders. 3. if Kevin Durant won a ring in Brooklyn and now in Houston, then he would have a shot of being better than steph.
They arent mad about KD one cuz we all know curry is the main star there
Now, im not a dinosaur so idk how Bird played but people seem to held him in high regards
Draymond got more threes than bird
Also, theyāre just saying that because at the time he was really good at offense
They donāt understand that players evolve
They just stuck to the past or they are just going with what everyone saying about the older generation of NBA players
I can agree with you to some extend
Bird is definitely the most Overatted celtics OAT
Not really a valid arguement
I know, but itās still crazy
not that crazy tbh
Bird's career is not too long and he played in an era where chucking up a bunch of 3s means you getting benched
OKC Shai is already better than Westbrook. Westbrook never got past the first round in 2 years as a number one option
In 2019, he and Paul George got belted by dame in the first round
In the first round btw
And before that series
I swear
Dudes were saying both Russ and pg were better than dame
And okc was favored
They had no business losing, let alone in 5 games
I agree with ever other take tho
Elite ball knowledge
(Larry bird is also a little overrated imo)
He literally played 10 years in the league and accomplished less than magic
Yet people easily rank him above dudes like Curry, Kobe, Shaq, and Olajuwon
It should at least be a conversation
in career accomplishments, career trajectory Shea wins I mean look at his team look at his future they have so many first round pics. Thereās no debate on that one what Iām talking about is a player not a team winning effort as much as you think, yes, rings MVPs playoffs matter but when you look at someone,
that you need in your team a leader, which is also Shay someone explosive strong at the rim someone that also has a lot of hustle thatās Russell Westbrook in his prime. He was a beast. He deserved that MVP so much but what he didnāt deserve was his career trajectory of Kevin Durant leaving him they really couldāve won something at least and Iām a warrior fan
what my point is that Russell Westbrook in his prime as a player and slightly as a team player is better than shai even though shai is a better shooter defense wins championships and being explosive at the rim at 6 foot 3 itās crazy
Thanks bro u too appreciate it
when shai retires, he will definitely be better than Westbrook Even as a player i see shai as a Kobe Midrange player which is obviously very deadly
Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla has signed a multiyear contract extension.
If you seen Young Draymond, he was shooting those threes so much that steve kerr (correct me if im wrong) literally had to tell him to stop shooting threes and get on defense
they had a fight or something Idk if its true but the stats show
also, if you put Draymond Green career in Larry Bird era, he would be close to beatin Larry bird in therees
k
WHAT
oh my god
No No u misread it
I mean threes im using text to speech
If u acc believed i meant that, Thats is wildš
its definitely satire
if so
all of that is incorrect coming from a real nba ref
Idek about that
Russ was very inefficient
Like
Very
Very
Inefficient
He was a dominant paint scorer, a good mid range shooter, and a pretty painfully average 3 point shooter at his peak
Usually this wouldnāt be an issue, but Russ would shoot too many of these inefficient threes and jumpers
While also having a tendency to ball hog and stop the offense just to get up a shot
And even though he averaged a lot of assists per game, he didnāt exactly maximize his teammates around him
Just look at Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis while on the thunder versus how they played in Indiana
Not to mention how Russ was a pretty inconsistent defender and wasnāt a heat decision maker
Shai isnāt an elite defender, but heās usually very very good, and can always be trusted to do the right thing for the thunder in the clutch
Ik if Russ replaced Shai in this finals series, they donāt win game 4
And probably lose the series earlier on
And speaking of, Shai is a better defender, decision maker, volume scorer, 3 point shooter, mid range shooter, more crafty finisher, and more versatile overall
Heās also more portable and better at initiating an inclusive offense
That has 0 relevance my dawg LMAO
I get itās Russ, but the big O was doing that first lmao
And was acc a champion
Russ again, hasnāt gotten past the first round as a number 1 optionš¤·š¾āāļø
Was a number 2 option in this clip
Russel Westbrook
Same dude that got put in a box by Kawhi in game 6
2014
8/23 from the field
Lmfao
(And got outplayed by 37 y/o Tim Duncan in an elimination game)
You trippin. Giannis
isnt better than Nowizki or Garnett.
Anybody tryna run
Allen Iverson was the best player to play.
No questions asked
Mind you
He was on the 2k cover for 3 years
Itās was 1958 bob cousy
In a ROW
I would say it's
TD
Garnett
Giannis
Dirk
Malone (unfortunately)
It's TD, Malone (forgot about him), Garnett Nowizki
Iāll run it
?
Malone is the only one without a ring. I could see him above Dirk but I think the others are above him because they were ELITE defenders too
Yur
Look Cousy has to be a top 5-10 point guard of all time
Bob Cousy the best pg oat
easy
Damian lillard is the best center of all time
Dirk > KG
And Giannis > Dirk
Mid
I like Dirk a lot. The first NBA game I saw live was the Mavs in '08, he was awesome to be able to see in person. But I think KG was better. KG was a much better defender, and I would argue that he was also a better playmaker. '04 KG was arguably one of the top 10 individual seasons from a PF in history.
Are we ignore Dirk having one of the 3-4 greatest individual championship runs of ALL TIME GANG?
Not to mention how he was a better playoff performer overall
More consistent
Better longevity
And got his teams farther in the playoffs?
Against the same western conference KG faced
And Dirk was more successful than KG even after he went to the Celtics gangš¤·š¾āāļø
Like how are we gonna rank KG over Dirk when he was less successful his entire career, both before and after joining a literal super team
š
Didnāt get it done in the playoffs
And Dirk had one of the greatest individual championship runs of all time
Definitely top 3
Only made it past the 1st round once as a Timberwolf btw
1 ring with Celtics
Dirk has 1 ring with the mavs
One of the most unimpressive championship runs ever bro
Celtics hate in full effect
They won 66 games and got taken to 7 by the 8th seed hawks
š
And lebrons Cavs
Like come on bro
Both teams were mid
Idek how the lakers got 2 games on the Celtics
They had no Andrew Bynum
(Top 3 playoff run of all time btw)
Same team that got belted by LeBron multiple times
And couldnāt even beat Orlando in 09
When mavs got 18 weāll talk about playoff runs
Weāre talking abt KG and Dirk rn tho
All I know is Dirk was more clutch and a better playoff performer
Not to mention he did more in his career
(That same dude in ur pfp has the body composition of an 80 year old man)
And was dumped for bums and cash
Your mans got traded for a half eaten bag of Doritos
And also for a dude with the ankle support of a grandma
But sure
Oh Iām not some Luka fan gngš
This is js my pfp bc the pic was tuff in some game the mavs played vs Washington
In the 19-20 season
Lmfao
At least itās not Georges Niang bro
Every team knows KP is just a glorified stretch big with shot blocking
We donāt got Niang anymore nba casual
And no other championship level attributes
I know yall donāt
But Porzingis was still traded for that bum
Who was then traded for even more garbage
Lmao
Ahh add champion in front of that
Barely played in the playoffs
Theyād win last year with or without that glass made āunicornā
Thatās all I gotta say. Do your NBA casual thing bro
7 playoff games played btw
With 12 points and 4 boards per game
Respect to anybody else on the team that played in that run
Not glass boy tho
(Notice how he barely celebrates like his teammates do bc he knows he didnāt contribute as much)

You see those teams he was playing with? Can you name the second best player on those teams?
Trick question, KG was the best AND second best player on those teams
He played with:
sam cassell
Wally
Latrell spreewell
Terrell Brandon
Stephon Marbury
Chauncey Billups
Joe Smith
All very capable players
And those were his #2-#4 options usually
The rest of his teams were full of avg or decent ish role players
He shouldnāt have gotten belted in the first round as many times as he did
Donāt make excuses for kg here either. I swear Tim Duncanās spurs in 03 had just as bad of a supporting cast and won a chip
š¤·š¾āāļø
Popeye jones solos everyone on every list
This is such an elite pull I bet half of yall donāt know he was even in the NBA
The only reason I know him is because of a chalres barkley clip where he said he was a guy who for some some reason could not stop (Who gets the nickname popeye)
Oh u mean the monkey looking Richard Jefferson
Got it
š« romacpa., you need to wait 8 hours to use that command again.
! I am Him
Heās better than the entire mavs roster Ngl
Whoās better kyrie or curry in 1on 1
We need all star team up back
Steph> Kyrie
mvp
??
L ball knowledge, I get it , Shai has the least amount of free throws than every single one of scoring champs , because the difference between shau and other scoring champs is that they actually foul them except in shais situation he gets Mickey Mouse fouls , the refs are glazing him , also the championship doesnāt count when arguing about players not teams
That's the refs fault. L basketball got him a championship.
Okc westbrook vs Shai
Westbrook wins
im too lazy to debate yall can go ahead
I don't agree. Shai a 3 lvl threat and has length.
Mitchel injured , Tatum injured , Hali injured ( he was about to get his best game of his career btw) , Lillard injured , Allen injured , Gordon injured
yea fr the haliburton injury
Ohhh donāt let me forget that , Ant was playing on a strained ankle
We were going to see the best finals game 7 performance of all time , he was literally had 3/4 3p in 5 min
Westbrook holds the top spot in Thunder history for points (18,859), assists (6,897), rebounds (5,760), and steals (1,442), far surpassing Shaiās totals (10,405 points, 2,092 assists, 1,979 rebounds, 570 steals). Even in per-game rankings, Westbrookās 8.40 assists per game rank 2nd in franchise history, while Shaiās 5.51 rank 11th. Westbrookās ability to dominate multiple statistical categories over a longer period underscores his broader impact.
Westbrook is the mini lebron in OKC
westbrookk triple doubles passed a alltime great
t shai hasnt done nun
He WAS LeBron in OKC , the hoop must had trauma after him
No one could stop him
20/21/20 btw
Best triple doubler in history btw
Rather have shai on my team though obviously
2nd individual mvp season btw
I would rather have 2015-19 Westbrook in my team
He was unstoppable
You good
But watch out for ur future
lakers westbrook gonna hit u hard
No I was trying to say that I would rather have this version of brook for all years
Oh
fr
Am I crazy for saying that Curry 2022 was better than the whole Celtics roster in 2022 ?
He was literally beating their asses
Agreed
As a 6th seed
Shai has literally peaked higher than Russ anyway
Agree
Lakers Russ should be on the all time team
My guts telling me it will ironically be like a damian lillard situation. He'll stay in milwak untill he's forced out by mil & then spend last awkward years losing somewhere else instead of mil. Could be wrong tho.
(Of course dame got waved & came back due to injury so š¤·āāļø )
Who got 26 hmu
Both of Ben Wallaceās triple doubles had 1 assist
How
you put shai in the era that Westbrook was in
I donāt think heās even going to a conference finals
Westbrook is just tougher more stronger, more versatile at the rim a better playmaker he makes your team better like I said heās a mini LeBron
Seems like legit situation to me
this the same luka who slimmed?
he still looks like a chubby kid in 6th grade
his ozempic doesnt work. the bug needs to be fixed
That one month of Wizard Russ was better than the GOAT
Thatās I was thinking about too
For sure
in this one he looks the same with different lighting. he looks like he lost 5 pounds. he def looks like he lost weight but not nearly as much as 30.
31 pounds*
mb i sending too many screenshots
he prolly lost the cake
Tbh i think if u replace shai and russ with eachother from 2012 to 2025
Shai will lose
And russ will win
The chip i mean
You cant really compare because the supporting cast is different
Shai is definitely a much better scorer than prime russ rn but he can't carry the whole thunder with russ' players
Shai's already on a good team unlike 2017 russ
Take away the free throws
still a great scorer
also, Chris Paul helped shai and his development
SGA had it easier
CP3 has to be one of the most influential teammate in the league
Dude transforms nobodies into stars
what about lebron @vocal barn
Agreed
ā¦
Cp3 teammates wasnāt nobodyās
You just talkin at 11 am
Im not on anyone side here but technically u just proved his point i guess?
He said nobodyās
I wonder who the nobodyās he talkin about
Hot take : cp3 is just overrated
Woah
Just accept bruh , he is very small , he couldnāt do anything in his career except assists , he canāt score much , he couldnāt lead a team except clippers , he canāt win a ring he canāt do anything
Make the playoffs with okc and made the suns š
āMade the sunsā the suns roster was :
Booker
Jonhson
The center the lakers got which was a beast
And Mikal Bridges
Do we have any thoughts on Giannis settling down with the life partner that he settled down with? Could it imply something
Explain , whatās is a life partner ?
āBeast ā
Ayton sucks
Cp3 made that team good to the finals you sayin Anything rn
Made that team good ? The worst player on that team was crowder
You forget how good Devin Booker was , you forget how good Mikal was
Not just talking about peaks⦠will Kawhi go down as a better player than Scottie Pippen?
Did you see his highlights 2020-21
If he win another championship we wiil have to argue that
For now no
Have faith in the unction
What do you mean ?
Haha he can win
I have one in my notes hold on
W jokic
Okay so I do have multi paragraph explanations but Iām just gonna send the team
Because itās a lot of yap
Coach: Pop. No explanation needed
PG: Magic
SG: Jordan
SF: Pippen
PF: Dirk
C: Jokic
6th: Hakeem
7th: Curry
8th: Ginobili
Ask me anything you want
Itās not best players itās a dream team
With chemistry in mind
Pop is the best coach⦠but if MJ and Pippen donāt like him Iād be happy to let Phil Jackson take his place
Kerr would be my third choice. Heās learned that if a player is really good you can let them play their own game and not interfere⦠good mindset with so many legends
