OFFICIAL 2020 NBA PLAYOFF THREAD - DISNEY COVID INVITATIONAL EDITION - MAMBA FOREVER - LAKERS WIN THE RONA RAND - ALA FOREVER

[DCAllAfrican]

I hear you, but it kind of speaks on your whole thing about context. Russ' teams require him to be a big time scorer. He can't just be John Stockton.

I dunno. EYE do not feel like arguing FOR Russ anymore though

I look at it like this, who do I trust more? Who puts my team in a better position to maximize their potential?

It is hard to look at RW and say he does that better than the folks I named.

He is an athletic freak at that position. Very physically imposing, but he just never had IT between the ears.

But, he didn't grow up PLAYING the position, so I feel for him. He maximized his gifts as well as anyone in modern history.

He could have ended up as any other high flying 6'4 or shorter player, but he didn't. That says alot about him.

But, to be a TOp 10 PG means a little more than THAT.

 

[MVP]

Russ' resume right now
1x MVP
9x all Star
8x all NBA
2x scoring champ
2x assist champ

It's comparable to most everybody in top 10 right now except Magic

 

[smedroc]

Russ aint even a top 10 pg alive

Sharife Cooper & Dior Johnson >>> *

 

[rolaholic]

Isaiah Thomas always getting left out!

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Russ aint even a top 10 pg alive

THis is only funny because nobody that was in front of him has died, so that list doesnt really change.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Nash, Kidd, Stockton, Glove, Magic, Kobe, Jordan, Isiah, Luka, Steph, Oscar, Parker, Iverson, Kyrie, Reggie Miller, Booker, CP3, Ginobili, Drexler, all these guys I'm taking over Westbrook

If we are looking at blind resumes, You are correct.

 

[MVP]

Nash, Kidd, Stockton, Glove, Magic, Kobe, Jordan, Isiah, Luka, Steph, Oscar, Parker, Iverson, Kyrie, Reggie Miller, Booker, Lillard, Ginobili, Drexler, all these guys I'm taking over Westbrook

Not only do you not know basketball, you can't even follow the conversation or debate that's going on right now.

 

[B Sox]

Who was better in the finals?

russ
GP
Kidd
Stockton

See. This is why it’s hard to argue those others over Russ for sure.

 

[ballinsam23]

His #s are impressive but no one is taking him on their team. I hate looking at today's stats. They're so inflated and it was obvious Russ was stat padding the last couple of years in OKC.

Legit I'd take Billups, Tony Parker, Kidd over him if I'm building a team.

 

[MVP]

If we are looking at blind resumes, You are correct.

When you put feelings/ preferences into the conversation instead of what's actually done on the field/court of play; I think you get into mucky territory.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Russ might finish as a top 10 pg but we all know he's not that. Same way we all know harden aint what he's made out to be. Both of them are woat goats

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Not only do you not know basketball, you can't even follow the conversation or debate that's going on right now.

Bruh . You got something against me ? Let's make a bet on something since you all up in my you know what like you admire me or something. Laker fan

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Walt Frazier is another name that gets left off because he came so much earlier but looking at his resume also puts him in Elite company.

I personally wasn't alive to see him so that is why I don't mention him.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Bruh . You got something against me ?

I have noticed him following you around lately.

 

[HIM]

You could’ve showed last nights game to someone who’s never watched basketball....and they’d come out saying, “#0 is really killing his team”

My girl is a “lakers fan” but knows as much basketball as your average girl. We were txting last night and she sent me this text out the blue

Had me dying for a minute

 

[Based Jesus]

THis is only funny because nobody that was in front of him has died, so that list doesnt really change.

That's the joke

 

[MVP]

Bruh . You got something against me ?

Depends, are you related to whiplash?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

When you put feelings/ preferences into the conversation instead of what's actually done on the field/court of play; I think you get into mucky territory.

Again, context has to be considered.

Context doesn't automatically equate to " feelings/ preferences."

But to pretend JUST the actual resume should be viewed is disingenuous,

 

[casper90403]

Nash, Kidd, Stockton, Glove, Magic, Kobe, Jordan, Isiah, Luka, Steph, Oscar, Parker, Iverson, Kyrie, Reggie Miller, Booker, CP3, Ginobili, Drexler, all these guys I'm taking over Westbrook

point guards man, point guards.

He weird bro

Gentlemen gentlemen there's no reason we can't settle this like civilized men, in Temecula

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Depends, are you related to whiplash?

Da hell is whiplash

 

[8pm at msg]

What makes it worse is that Russ knows exactly what he's doing.

Collin Sexton was a lesser version of this. Never seen someone get so much love for having "heart" yet playing defense completely ineffectively.
