2022 OFFICIAL NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - NBA FINALS TIME - GS 4-2 - STEVE GETS #4……ON NT - SUMMER JAM SCREEN RECEIPTS INCOMING……

[nick.]

I think we've all seen enough of James Harden in the playoffs to know
you can't put him above Jerry West or Dwayne Wade.

and exactly how much of Jerry ******* West have you seen?

 

[WASHED KING]

it's either him or Oscar as the best offensive player of the 60's.
Was considered a good defender at the time,

and is one of the few players that really got better in the playoffs.


given Hardens playoff failure and bad defense,
I don't know how you put him above the logo.

Because it was the 60’s and I think Monte Ellis was better than Jerry West.

 

[HOU$TON]

EYE have the receipts for the Luka vs Harden debates but EYE was on the wrong side so they're staying in the folder.

It all started in 2020

I’m sure I’m on the wrong side of this as well but harden was better in 19/20 both regular season and playoffs.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

and exactly how much of Jerry ****ing West have you seen?

enough to know.
you can look up the numbers, you can check Jerry West team performance.

there's more than enough info to extrapolate Jerry West relative to his competition.




This a fun vid tho, 4th quarter of the 1969 finals.

LA down a bunch Jerry West scores 15 points to bring em back, only to lose to Bill Russel again in his final season.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Because it was the 60’s and I think Monte Ellis was better than Jerry West.

well that's dumb.

Monta Ellis in league with no carrying, no 3 point line, and a clogged paint would be terrible.


there's a reason all the best offensive perimeter players at that time were hyper accurate mid range shooters.

 

[N41D]

Scott Foster ******* is the news I needed this morning.

 

[witnesskb24]

Y’all gonna be comparing players to Harlem Globetrotters next

 

[WASHED KING]

well that's dumb.

Monta Ellis in league with no carrying, no 3 point line, and a clogged paint would be terrible.


there's a reason all the best offensive perimeter players at that time were hyper accurate mid range shooters.

I honestly don’t think Jerry West could play D1 basketball today.

Was the defense better or were the players less offensively skilled?

 

[MajinZuub]

What have I done

 

[addict4sneakers]

Welp

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Does anybody talk to buc em ? How is he thinking

I bet I could score on James Harden

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I honestly don’t think Jerry West could play D1 basketball today.

Was the defense better or were the players less offensively skilled?

and you would be wrong.

1. If you give Jerry West all the advantages of modern life he would be even better.
and if d1 players had to suit up in 1960s many of them would suck.

it goes both ways.

2. How do you explain Kareem's 1989 finals MVP?

40 year old, old washed up Kareem won the Finals MVP in 1989,
this is a league with Michael Jordan in it.


if the talent level in the 1960s and 70s was so much worse, how was Kareem able to do that?
if the 1960's guys couldn't make D1 rosters,

How come kareem,

a 1989 finals MVP didn't win the championship basically every year with the Bucks when he was in his physical prime?

 

[akajae]

Scott foster getting pulled is wild

Gotta keep him fresh for phx game 7

This clown is load managing in preparation to unleash maximum ****ery on Sunday

Scott Foster called out tonight so he could ref Chris Paul on Sunday. Dedication.

he needs to be available for mavs/sun game 7....

 

[sneeker]

give respect to the man who is responsible for NBA Logo. unless you want to change that into .....

 

[geno90221]

 

[smedroc]

Jerry West was elite for his time. That's all you can go off when ranking all time.

No one says Mr Russell only dominated because he played against family men so we gotta give all these dudes their respective flowers.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

"this whole all the older legends couldn't make D1 rosters."

how far back do we go without totally discounting the talent of great players?


because overlapping players makes it problematic.

Do the 80's legends count?
no?

How come old, post HIV, ground bound slow Power forward Magic
was so effective in 95?

What about 70's legends? No?
How come Kareem was able win the finals MVP in the 88 as a 39 year old?

60's legends?
How did old Bill Russell in a league with Kareem win the 1969 finals?

you have to just measure guys in there era.
stop trying to discredit them.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

and the idea that you put a immense choker, front runner like James Harden above Jerry West.

all because Harden has the luxury of carrying while dribbling, a 3 point line
and non lead poisoned childhood nutrition?

nah i can't do it.

ect

Jerry West doesn’t belong in the same conversation as Kareem.

Kareem was 7’2 with arguably the most unstoppable shot in NBA history he can play in todays NBA.

Jerry west would be a slow unathletic guard.

Y’all gotta stop putting Jerry West in the same conversation as folks like Wilt, Kareem and Russell. One of these are not like the others.

 

[nick.]

and the idea that you put a immense choker, front runner like James Harden above Jerry West.

Jerry West lost eight ( 8 ) Finals series

 

[DripNick]

@"non lead poisoned childhood nutrition"

 

[tomdiginson]

Harden looks like a 70s soul singer trying to play basketball at this point.

 

[WASHED KING]

Dunking on Harden is good and fun but to put a man who wouldn’t be able to keep up with Payton Pritchard over James is too far.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Officer Jimbo vs. A white dude whose best years were in the 1960s

Y'all dudes wrong for making aepps20 have to read this
