I believe the second part of that statement is the most valid. On a comparative basis, the rest of the league was in no position to compete with the Bulls. They had the best SG, the best SF and always a top level PF while most other teams had nowhere near that level of talent. Talent was spread pret...

Without a doubt, in my less than humble opinion, the greatest trade in NBA history was orchestrated by Red Auerbach. He traded all star Center Ed Macauley and 6 time future all star Cliff Hagan to the St. Louis Hawks in exchange for the draft rights to one William Felton Russell. While Macauley and ...

The NBA Commish, the NBA VP of Ops, the best Defensive Player in the game, several "current" Euro stars AND a boatload of former players are all wrong and full of nonsense BUT some 5'2, 60+ year old, fake-stat loving, arm-chair fan from Canada is right. Oooooookie dokie then. :elidrunk: :...

Reggie Miller weighed 180 lbs and could be blown over by a stiff breeze but he could be successful and Curry couldn't? That is the kind of drivel that is being spewed. It's complete fucking nonsense.

At this point it has nothing to do with "me" because the debate has been settled already, rob... game, set, match. You, bush, grizz, LMD, zombie, etc can cry and whine and deny until your faces turn blue BUT there is nothing you can do/say to refute this: "Today's NBA is soft, the De...

Shooting uncontested jumpers on a wide-open floor is not all that impressive, people. Sheesh. Get back to me when LeFraud wins a Championship withOut the help of 2-3 other HOFERS around him, like Mike, Kobe, Dirk, Joker, Dream, etc. Thanks in advance. You gotta make your mind up. Either there's nob...

It's close though. MJ was pretty good.

DaStars. You will love Chris Tanev on your squad. The guy is the epitome of the blood and guts hockey player who leaves everything on the ice. Every Flames fan LOVED that guy. Just crazy tough. He will block shots with his face if he has to. Not the most offensively skilled, but the absolute perfect...

Don't really have one. I do favor Greek salad a lot though, so that would include cucumbers and green peppers.

My Magic are doing great, thank you very much! Getting brighter by the day!

I don't like the elimination of the corner 3. That is just too big a change versus how the game has been played for the last 30 plus years. And personally, I like how the threat of the corner 3 forces defenses to stretch the amount of court they need to cover. Pushing out the line a bit at the top I...

Funny how a guy who only has a job in the NBA because of defense might suggest that rules favor the offense. Weird. He probably carries a bias, but he's not wrong (basically). It's just not a straight line from that idea to players performing better *solely because of* said rules. You can receive a...

"The rules really favor offense, in general, right now." - Rudy Gobert I never denied that, dummy. But it can ALSO be the case the players are ALSO more skilled, despite playing in a more friendly environment. That's exactly what the second link illustrates. Incidentally, if you want to g...

Amazing how Lebron James ran away not from one but two 60 win teams like a Gutless Choking Coward. Playing with Mo Williams. Give me Pippen all day long. But LeBron ran from a 60 win team. No offense Stars, but that is a retarded take. He was by far the biggest reason that team won 60 games. The ta...

Wow, Boras messed up, Bellinger 3/80 with two opt-outs back to the Cubs. Fat L for Boras, that's honestly a great deal for Chicago. Yankees would have been much better off signing Bellinger to that and keeping King and the other guys they gave up for Soto. Well played by Chicago. Good for them. Fuc...

Amazing how Jordan's competitiveness got snuffed out every year he didn't play with Scottie Pippen, to the point he couldn't generate a winning regular season or win a playoff series in five seasons. Crazy how that works lol Amazing how Lebron James ran away not from one but two 60 win teams like a...

I don't have tons of time today, but to me the composition of contribution is irrelevant compared to the magnitude of said contribution. It's not about "valuing defense" or "valuing offense" or wanting guys to be "complete players". "How much (all else equal), doe...

Literally has nothing to do with the topic. Let’s talk about 1920s baseball. Has the same relevancy as what you just brought up :elistoned: Iverson played in an era where obese bus drivers were full time starters. That clear things up for you? BTW, Joe Ingles would be an all-star in AI’s era. Fat f...

I have nothing to add to what Bush has stated, except to say I agree. I've seen very few players at their apex tilt the floor in one direction as much as Curry does. I would have him in the same tier.

Iverson (I'm embarrassed to admit) broke MJ's ankles off the dribble fool... he'd absolutely destroy today's NBA. Plus, stop acting like players have evolved to such a degree that today vs. 2000 (for example) is the same as today vs. your era (ie; the 60's and 70's). Luka and Jokic are completely d...
