⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

[pmatic]

Review the 2015-16 Process Sixers. A bunch of quality players came from that 10-72 season.

Jerami Grant, Richaun Holmes, TJ McConnell, Robert Covington, Christian Wood, Nerlens Noel.

Nah that dunk was right after Nash stole Kobe's MVP

That dunk meant so much more at that time.

Didn’t Nash eliminate Kobe from the playoffs 2 years straight?

Nash ain’t steal nothing, he was top of the west/league while Kobe was 7-8

Same reason why Steph shouldn’t get MVP now

Thad Young is a living legend

He's at over 1K games now and all of that is still valid except he dipped down to 13.1PPG so I'm not sure if that opens the flood gates but he's still in rare company

Not slandering AD but tskip brought up an interesting point about how AD is noticeably trying to shake off rust (which is OK) and KD can just put his phone down and get 30 in his sleep.

A true alien.

KD been out a week, AD was out 2 months

 

[HIM]

Somebody posted a meme years ago about KD being the only great without any stanbase. It’s truly remarkable how he’s accomplished that, considering he’s a top 5 player of all time.

Top 5?

KD been out a week, AD was out 2 months

I think KD was out like a year+ when he came back and started getting buckets immediately. Think that's what he meant.

KD isn’t even ahead of Kobe and Kobe not top 10

Shaq? TD? Duncan? Hakeem? Bird? Magic?

That’s your opinion and I respect it.

ehhh still an apples to oranges comparison. KD had an entire, healthy training camp to get ramped up before the start of this season. Not trying to take away from KD, he's an all-time great player, but its odd to bring up AD's name at all in this discussion.

Off a similar 2 month break KD was at 23 on 63/58 splits over 3 games. Again this is NOT AD slander. Everyone is different. Just a testament of how special KD is.

I’m not going after y’all’s kid MLGA.

 

[storm2006]

KD been out a week, AD was out 2 months

Yeah, I mean even if we're looking at this season, KD and AD both started sitting a day apart. KD came back two weeks earlier but he put up 17/7/5 (19 min) and 22/7/5 (24 min) in his first two games back. AD had 4/4/1 (17 min) and 17/3/3 on 5-19 shooting (29 mins). And as I pointed out yesterday, KD is getting 25.6PPG in 25.6PPG in 5 full games back.

Prior to the season were tons of "You think KD is going to come back and do what he was doing before " posts too and he proved the world wrong. KD is just different

EDIT:

ehhh still an apples to oranges comparison. KD had an entire, healthy training camp to get ramped up before the start of this season. Not trying to take away from KD, he's an all-time great player, but its odd to bring up AD's name at all in this discussion.

I think them going out and coming back around the same time is why folks are drawing comparisons.

A true alien.

He’s so far ahead of anyone else in that conference especially since he’s out of OKC & you can’t shrink the floor on him anymore.

If they’re healthy that Lakers series is gonna be incredible

 

[p0tat0 5alad]

I've NEVER heard KD being top 5 all time let alone top 10 before.

Im biased, but I truly believe coach Nate is one of the more underrated coaches in the nba.

Say what you want about his playoff record, but nobody was expecting his Pacer teams to beat Lebron. He also had a raw deal when oladipo went down with those injuries in 2019 and matched up against the finals runner up Miami squad
