Re: David Stern dead at 77
Did we ever figure out what he was referring to when he said "I know where the bodies are buried"? PED scandal? Betting/something with Donaghy? Rigged draft lotteries?

Re: Rate these veterans careers- Overachieved, Underachieved, Met Expectations
Dwight - Underachieved, though I thought he'd be out of the league by now so he has to get some credit. Though maybe it's mostly name recognition. CP3 - Met. I was one of his biggest defenders until Curry emerged. I think the bottom line is that a guy who is 6 foot flat (and that's being generous) i...

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
Maybe I'm on an island, but almost the entirety of my evaluation is how often a player elevates a decent team to contender/championship. Why though? How a player lifts a "decent team" only covers a piece (maybe 30ish percent?) of the content space. What about lifting a bad team to respect...

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
The Horry argument is lame. He didn't command the most defensive attention on offense, and isn't a gamechanger on the other end. He was a very good 3-and-D at the four who couldn't create his own shot, and played with three top ten players.

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
I have Hakeem in my top 5 but he's definitely one of those guys that has a big range of where he's slotted. I can see an argument for not having him in the top 10 depending on what people value (though I'd disagree). What value system (other than playing a contrarian role) could one possibly have i...

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
I don't think Scottie was capable of leading a team to a title as the #1 offensive option.....and it didn't happen, so "what if" doesn't really matter. Well set aside the Scottie part. What's the weakest a statline somebody could have and make your top 10? Let's say post-merger (except fo...

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
Does a points+rebounds+assists statline inherently mean anything though?
Say Jordan stays retired after 93 and Scottie won two more of his own. 5 rings with a 16/6/5 statline. He'd probably be top 10, right?

Can Kevin Love still help a contender?
He looks healthy and is putting up his normal numbers (second best TS% of his career after 18). Does he have enough left in the tank to put someone over the top?
Any other stars you guys are expecting to be moved?

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
We've never seen a "down on his luck" version of Kawhi. He's never had to play in a bad situation at ANY point in his career....so we don't really have a "luck/circumstances" point of reference for him. The Spurs were already competing at a high level and winning titles. The Rap...

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
This is his third or fourth elite season, right? I personally value longevity and accumulated lift/value more than most, so that would ding him a bit. Then again...he's only 28! Him being a relative nonfactor his first four (?) season and missing 2018 hurts. I will say too I'm not sure why it reall...

Re: Buy or Sell - NBA Champion From L A
Clippers are the favorite IMO but not favored against the field. I think the Lakers put LA as a package bet over the top.
Sixers and Bucks could be a matchup problem though, especially with no contenders having star power + amazing depth.

Re: Hey LMD if I wanted to build a desktop computer w/ better specs what parts would you recomm
I haven't done a new build in a while and I'm certainly not an expert, but make sure you don't overspend on the processor. Your video card is going to be the most important component for the most part and you're going to want to splurge the most. The issue is, they don't really go on sale until the...

Re: If Kawhi wins the FMVP where do you rank him all time
Three Finals MVPs with three teams (even if you view the Spurs one as an ensemble effort) has to give him a floor of top 15 at the very least. Especially considering two of the franchises would never have won before and were laughing stocks of the league for most of their histories. Realistically, h...

Re: It's always funny watching Giannis play vs LeBron
Giannis is so insane to watch.
Is he better than Durant at his best?
It feels silly to say KD has underachieved with an MVP (and a few other seasons at that level), 2 Finals MVPs. But Giannis just looks like a better player than KD ever was.

Re: We missed a great time to troll Arty.
Can Giannis make it out of the East this year??? His team shot itself in the foot (Brogdon, bad contracts, free agency whiffs in general) but they've won a lot of games.
