Eh, Muhammed Ali said multiple times that he was the GOAT boxer & most people would agree with him. 9
>No, hes not a top 10 player of all time. No, hes not obviously better than Wade. No, hes not having the greatest season of all time. >Hes playing at a legendary level but calm the fuck down, its December. People keep shitposting dumb takes to try 2
Luka 16
Tbf, Reggie Miller couldnt really create a shot either 6
Iguodala > Curry confirmed. 1
Yeah, AI was actually great during post-season where he showed up. Something I cant really say for Harden whos very underwhelming in playoff series lol 1
Dirk being washed up nowadays doesnt mean we shouldnt respect of how amazing he was during his career. 20
The same 73 win team that choked away a 1-3 lead against Cleveland? 1
I mean, almost every NBA superstar have won the Championship with an another player with same caliber. The likes of Dirk and Hakeem winning NBA for their respective team are outliners. 2
Dominique Wilkins wasnt part of NBAs top 50 greatest players of all time. 2
I mean, are we gonna forget that Warriors choked in 2016 NBA finals despite having a 3-1 lead vs. Cavs. Having a 73-9 doesnt mean much without having a Championship. Durant made the correct decision for joining Warriors & hell be regarded as a top 1 1
I mean, KD joined a team that choked away a 3-1 lead in NBA finals against Cleveland despite having a 73-9 win. 4
Ray Allen + Kevin Garnett teamed up with Paul Pierce in Celtics before that happened. 0
Doesnt change the fact that 3 All-Stars teamed up together. Also, theyre still in their prime when Celtics won the Championship. -1
> led the 73-9 warriors (ik they lost but it’s still one of the greatest regular seasons of all time). 73-9 doesnt mean anything without a ring tho. I mean, giving away a 3-1 lead against Cavs is one of the biggest choke jobs in NBA history and Cu -14
You realize that Cavs became the 1st team in history to ever overcome 3-1 deficit to win NBA finals? Which was completely unthinkable considering Warriors were overwhelming favorites to win that series. Theres a reason why Warriros went out and signed 1
Depends on if theyre great 3-point shooters. Otherwise, no. 1
Its unfair for any European player to be compared with Luka, that guy is an anomaly. 3
Still cannot believe that Duncan never won DOTY during his entire career... 9
>Luka is the best player in the 2018 draft FTFY And its not even close 29
So Kevin Durant isnt a snake? 0
Any footage of that? 1
No. Hell be a free agent during 2020 1
Perhaps you should read the thread than jumping into that conclusion? >Weve to remember that getting into Basketball Hall of Fame isnt just about what a player has done in NBA. -5
Tim Duncan carried Spurs to a Championship in 03 with a washed up Robinson and Manu/Parker being inexperienced. -1
>Yeah Durants rings mean less Eh, Kevin Durant won back-to-back FMVPS and has been GSWs best player in the post-season. He has 100% earned his rings, its not like KD played garbage minutes while his teammates did the heavy lifting. 2
When you take into account of what I mentioned above, Currys first ring isnt that much valuable. The next year, Cavs (this time with both Kyrie & Love available) won NBA Finals 2016. 0
Hell be remebered as an all-time great 2
Who knows. Its impossible to prove one way or another. 14
Kobe isnt even the top 3 laker of all time 2
Only Luka Doncic and Ayton seems to already be the real deal. 1
Ask Brian Scalabrine 2
Wtf 5
Hello Luka! My question is how does social media effect players these days? Do you guys read comments on Twitter/Instagram, and how do you deal with criticism via these platforms? 2
I mean, NBA during 1970s were one of the weakest eras ever. ABA was better than NBA at the time. 1

No. Spent a season in college and missed almost entire 2014-15 season. 1
Sounds just excuses. Wiggins is argubaly the biggest bust of this decade. 3
No. Must prove himself in the playoffs first. 6
Prime T-Mac never won a playoff series... 3
No. -6
Yup. Had 9 turnovers & 38% shooting in game 6 during 2010. 0
Only because KDs move to Warriors prevented LeBron to win any more rings. 4
Eh, Kobe Bryant is regarded as one of the most universally beloved athletes of his generation. Its almost comparable with the same amount of love Dirk & Magic (the player, not GM) gets. 0
Larry Bird is still the 2nd greatest small forward OAT - for now. Durant still needs a couple of more rings (as the best player for Warriors) in order to surpass Bird. 7
>to the best team of all time Not really. Having that said, Warriors are heading towards a possible 3-peat with Durant as their best player. Something not even Larry Bird was capable of. 1
>Then they blew the first 3-1 lead in Finals history If youre gonna discredit Warriors 2015 Championship, I can easily do the same for Cavs 2016 Championship. - Curry playing through injury. - Draymond getting suspended for game 5. - Bougt getting 11
> Its been a bum year by LeBron standards Eh, its considered as a bum year since LeBron failed to leading his team into playoffs. Nobody has downplayed LeBrons amazing individual stats. 1
LeBrons career points per game is significantly much higher than Prime Kareem. 1
Dame never had the luxary to play alongside with Kevin Durant tho... 16
Nephew, thats enough internet for today 24
Durant 2
If Warriors wins, why should Durant even consider leave with a possible 4-peat? Something that hasnt been done since Bill Russells Celtics in the 60s. 2
Miami Heat got rid of 9 players & got argubaly best PF from 09/10 regular season in Bosh before LeBron joined them. That team was expected to win at least a 3-peat, even LeBron said it would be easy lol. 14
And water is wet. 1
That 73-9 team didnt win a championship and more importantly, they choked away a 3-1 lead in NBA Finals. Something it has never happened before in NBA history. If Warriors went into the Finals in next season w/o Durant,Cavaliers would have a mental adva 0
Didnt Tim Duncan won NBA Championship 2003 more or less single-handedly with a very weak supporting cast? 3
Probably on same level as Kemba Walker. 1
Durant. 16
Prime LeBron/Wade/Bosh being underdogs against an inexperienced young OKC team? Just revisionist history as it finest. 3
Vince Carter probably. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOqVA80mIzA&t 1
Playoff Rondo. 5
Thanks 1
Including an unanimous MVP, which has never happened before in NBA history. 0
Curry would have 0 rings in 2015 if Kyrie & Kevin Love were available. 0
And KD being more efficient and can score in countless of ways. 5
And Wade actually passed the 1st round multiple times lol. 3
Curry certainly cares about Finals MVP, everyone is holding that against him. 0
Dwights supporting cast of Jameer Nelson, Hedo Turkoglu, and Rashard Lewis was easily much better than Mo Williams, Delonte West and a old Zydrunas Ilgauskas -2
I know, Im just supporting it. 2
Durant is avg. 6 assists per game in a ball sharing system. He can definitely get more assists if he was allowed to be a ball-dominant player like LeBron, Westbrook etc. and being surrounded with shooters to kick it out. 0
When Westbrook went down in 2014 and he basically played full-time point forward for the first time his life, he averaged 7-8 assists during that stretch. But yeah, he definitely doesnt have the potential to be an elite playmaker of averaging that many as 1
Go to sleep nephew... 1
Devin Booker is not white... 20
Curry has been anything but MVP-level during this playoffs and both him & Klay have had bad shooting nights. And Warriors may still have the core from 73-win season, but their bench is arguably the weakest compared to any remaining teams in the playof -1
Kobe. 23
Thanks mate. 1
At least, Giannis is playing for a historical franchise & have done an great job to surround him quality pieces. Something Pelicans never did for Davis. 1
Kanter. 0
Durant was carrying hard for Warriors (until he got injured) Playoffs 2019. Hes a necessary than luxury. 4
Durant (or anyone else) has no effect on how poorly their shooting were lmfao. Clippers took 2 games and played out of their skin. Durant was the reason with Warriors came out alive. 1
Houston Rockets 1
If you cannot reach the playoff, youre automatically disqualified from "best player itw" conversation. Yes, I know that LeBron got injured and miss games for a while and its kinda unlucky for him. However, Lakers were still in the playoffs contention w -3
>KD staying in Golden State ​ If Durant plays in NBA Finals and wins a chip, then Id agree with you. Otherwise, hes probably leaving. 1
Bucks have much bigger chances to win over KD-less Warriors, I cant say the same for Raptors. 10
Durant was important for Warriors in 2019 playoffs. They wouldnt have made it out from the 1st round without him. 0
Yes, but not until Game 3 I think. 2
no. Dirk isnt top 10 player OAT despite his 2011 ring. 28
If thats the case, Warriors shouldve used Durant way before theyre down with 1-3.... But they didnt. -2
Fun fact. Andre Iguodala has 1 more Finals MVP than Steph Curry. 3
And Kawhi won his 1st Finals MVP as a role player at Spurs. He wasnt even an all-star back then. -1
So did Iggy during NBA Finals 2015 lmfao. He was (and still is) a role player like Kawhi used to be in 2014. 0
Given to how Durant isnt even 100% healthy, it definitely would be the greatest 3-1 comeback if he delivers. -33
Never mind on how Bogut (All-Defense caliber player with great rim protection) was missed too. 0
Yeah. Durant wouldnt have passed Kareems point tally anyway even if he was healthy. He came into the league as a one-and-done player & missed almost entire 2014-15 season due to foot injury. 3
I wonder how long this thread will last until it gets deleted. 1
LeBron himself was individually awful against during 2007 with his poor shooting splits. 0
Too long, didnt read lol 1
No. 12
KD definitely left as you described 1
To be fair, Kyrie won a playoff series as the No.1 guy. Westbrook has never accomplished that in 2016-2019. 2
KD is (or rather **was**, if he doesnt return to his old self) a monster too. 4
KD 5
And KD avg. 30 ppg on godly 65 TS% against Miami Heats elite defense in the Finals. 6
Eh, Kobe wouldve quit if Lakers didnt got Paul Gasol. 2
And Paul Gasol arguably shouldve won Finals MVP 2010. 2
