They won’t. Watch them become incredibly hyped

You really think so? I ain’t seeing it right now. Maybe I just need to see better CWs

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Get whatever you can for him, Philly

You’re better off if not for next year then for the next rebuild

 

[Moheezy]

Considering how Morey has handled this offseason, I'm curious to see how he handles his situation.

I kinda like the idea of having Tobias and Harden expire next season as we've never had flexibility after Brand handed out contracts like Operah hands out cars.

I think having a gap year is the sensible thing to do. The last thing I'd want is to take on another bad long term contract.

Yup. Midas whale trade embiid

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Take it easy on me pizzo

 

[danger style]

Man I wish Kobe would’ve hit that self oop to East bay dunk in the actual dunk contest. Would’ve set the bar for years

[Vincent Van Goat]

So who was doing the elbow dunk first, I’m sure they’re were some even before this kobe one

 

[xxpizzo]

Take it easy on me pizzo

i can just picture a slight Shrug with a midas whale trade embiid right after

nice little giggle i got which i needed after this rough work day

Okay, so you're saying either trade Harden for scraps or trade Embiid. Got it.

I think I read somewhere Kobe and Vince played AAU together, and they both used to do it.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Speaking of Kobe, this dude should have swung on all of em

That is not how Nike operates

Players have input, but the designers have final say

So it was a Nike designer that made the final decision to do those

I remember Kyrie saying he had 0 input on his last 2 sigs....they just released them without him.

 

[DripNick]

2 Kings

Cam Johnson explains why he signed with the NETS

MSN

Young people these days don’t understand the impact AI had on players and the culture as a whole in the 00s. Especially young Wade,Bron,Melo,CP3 etc. Wade wore #3 because of him. They just pull up his advance stats and call him overated, inefficient etc. You had to be there to understand that impact. Dude even had non Sixers fans wearing that Black/Red #3 jersey

 

[Bad Religion]

Reebok Iversons around the Answer 2-4 were so hard to get, while Jordan 17's, 18's were always sitting, at least in my area.

The Questions and Answer IV's are the only non Nike sig shoes I've ever had growing up

 

[aepps20]

Was that before Kyrie trashed his own shoes or after? He burnt so many bridges at Nike I wouldn’t listen to him either.

Between the Seth shenanigans and this. We gotta square up

 

[ballinsam23]

When was the last time a team traded with Masai?

Hes turning into the GM no one wants to deal with, if he’s just tryna rip everyone off.

I believe even Bron said AI was his favourite player growing up.

And his impact was also felt internationally. I grew up in the Middle East and everyone was rocking arm sleeves including myself. lol

Even Beckham rocked braids in 03 because of AI

Is OG the most overrated player in the league now by how their own team views them?
