  1. I hate the "wasnt going to win ring" stuff. So many people use that to justify all types of crap. Just because you dont have a roster to win a title doesnt mean you stop playing. Especially at the beginning of the season. Anything can happen. The last couple weeks before the trade he quit on his team. He was pretty clearly going through the motions and was visibly out of shape. The same thing he did in BKN before the trade to PHI.
  2. Exactly!!! That fucker flat QUIT in HOU. His whole plan was to go to BKN and win an "easy" ring with KD and Kyrie then go to PHI since Fertita refused to trade him PHI.
  3. Right, that is honestly the most surprising thing. He's had broads throwing drawers at him since he was 16 and he has been all over the world without his wife and we havent even heard any chicks saying he smashed let alone have any extra kids out there. I wont even lie if I had em chasing me like that I can guarantee I would have got caught up at least once in 20 yrs
  4. Yep, its almost a miracle that not only did he make it to league without going to college but has been scandal/trouble free in 20+ yrs under a microscope starting when he was a kid. A whole lot of well adjusted kids from 2 parent household cant say that once they get an ungodly amount of money. The Decision (which I really had no issue with) and some awkward interviews are nothing IMO. He looks to be a pretty devoted husband and father and has broken the cycle that his parents were in. People like to pile on him for whatever but its all trivial shit.
  5. Its brutal man. They now have him on everything basketball related and his takes are terrible and make it clear he really doesn't actually pay attention to anything but superstar players. Then he gets offended and acts like he cant believe anyone could POSSIBLY question his judgment/takes. He constantly makes stuff that isnt about the Knicks, about the Knicks. The constantly yelling about everything is just the shitty frosting on a shit filled cake. I actively avoid him. Stopped watching Countdown before the games or I have it on but on mute until the games start. I cant stand to hear him for a single second now.
  6. Everything SAS is involved in is a train wreck.
  7. So HOU kept Gordon all this time and ultimately got nothing for him?
  8. He is! Cant imagine any way he isnt bought out but still funny.
  9. Pretty wild that after all that tough talk by the Nets they trade KD to where he wanted to go for basically 3 role players none of which look like they have the potential to take the next step to even stardom. The Nets just threw away 4 yrs and the nice roster they managed to build before KD/Kyrie got there. They got a lot of press over the yrs but that is really it. Gotta ignore the clown. His agenda is clear. The league is healthy as ever.
  10. 3 rotation guys that can shoot for one rotation that cannot and 2 guys that dont play while only giving up one of their picks. I am not AT ALL a fan of Russell but its pretty good for them
  11. This is a huge point. Especially in his first few yrs MJ looked like a fucking alien compared to most of the other players. He was MUCH faster than most 2 guards and taller than the rest of them. He was so quick that in his first couple yrs he got travel calls made on him cause the refs couldnt believe his first step was that fast. The team had to submit slo-mo vids to the refs to show he was putting the ball down before he lifted his 2nd foot from a face up. In today's game the avg 2 is about the same height and stronger than him along with being just as athletic. MJ's physical advantage just wouldnt exist.
  12. Yeah I was at that gm too. They gave him the game ball and then he lost yds on the next play. When he broke the long run on the next play the Dome went absolutely nuts!!!!
  13. MJ famously refused to shoot for a playoff game to prove a point to his coach
  14. yeah man, both the jaylen's look like the wig mekhi phifer wore in 8 mile. The light skinned Jaylen is especially peculiar looking as well.
  15. They stopped the game for Steph just last yr. This is the biggest record the league has with its biggest star. Of course they were going to stop the game.
  16. They gave up quite a bit to get Harden though. As part of a 4-team trade, traded by the Houston Rockets to the Brooklyn Nets; the Brooklyn Nets traded Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince to the Cleveland Cavaliers; the Brooklyn Nets traded Rodions Kurucs, a 2021 1st round draft pick, a 2022 1st round draft pick (Tari Eason was later selected), a 2023 1st round draft pick, a 2024 1st round draft pick, a 2025 1st round draft pick, a 2026 1st round draft pick and a 2027 1st round draft pick to the Houston Rockets; the Brooklyn Nets traded Caris Levert to the Indiana Pacers; the Cleveland Cavaliers traded a 2024 2nd round draft pick to the Brooklyn Nets; the Cleveland Cavaliers traded Dante Exum and a 2022 1st round draft pick (MarJon Beauchamp was later selected) to the Houston Rockets; the Houston Rockets traded a 2023 2nd round draft pick to the Indiana Pacers; and the Indiana Pacers traded Victor Oladipo to the Houston Rockets. 2024 2nd-rd pick is CLE own 2021 1st-rd pick is a right to swap, did not convey 2023 1st-rd pick is a right to swap 2025 1st-rd pick is a right to swap 2027 1st-rd pick is a right to swap 2022 1st-rd draft pick is MIL own 2023 2nd-rd pick is HOU own
  17. LOL You got me crunching numbers now. Luka could avg 35ppg for the next 10 yrs without missing a single game and still be 1k short of Cap
  18. LOL, it absolutely is diminishing 38k. Bron has played 20 yrs and has been a top 5-10 scorer pretty much every yr and he is just getting there. And he had the benefit of the 3p shot
  19. KD is not playing another 7 yrs. He is breaking down physically. Luka has 8500 pts in his 5 yrs currently. He would need to play at his current level for 15 more yrs and that would still only be about 34k. He is already missing about 10-15 gms a yr. I'm pretty confident he wont end up anywhere close to Cap. I think you are really underestimating what it takes to get to 38k and beyond.
  20. When has a Kyrie led team done anything except win the lottery? You seriously think it would be a good idea for him to be the leader in a locker room of all those kids?!?!?!
