The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Vincent Van Goat]

Durant had a chance if he would have got a few more rings without GSW. He's in or near the top 10 but not touching the upper echelon

To me Duncan, Kobe and Shaq are ahead of Curry. Not going to bother ranking those 3 against each other because it can be argued for any of them

I used to peg Curry as the goatPG, now that more dust is settling I could be swayed either direction and makes his position in the goat talk cloudy. I would say Curry ahead of Durant

I also have generally held the opinion Durant>Bird but I get how people would disagree. I'm old but not that old to have watched Bird and Magic like that

Hakeem is the one where as years go on he starts to look better

Anyway, I don't think Kareem, Duncan, Kobe, Jordan, LeBron, Shaq can be threatened by Curry or Durant

Magic, Bird, Hakeem can fit in wherever you want them to I guess

Stephen A along with the other NY reporters definitely never lied when they said “KD was supposed to go to come to the Knicks up until a certain player from Jersey convinced him to go the Nets..”

KD was putting those feelers out there for a while. It wasn’t a “he’s not going to the Knicks LOL” situation.

He just decided to follow and listen to Kyrie.

All the days when your girl complain basketball is on

Me today when she has all my attention:

Why can’t Shaq be threatened by Steve?

I know osh kosh bosh hates this but ... resume

What does Steph have over Shaq... Steph has 1 more MVP but Shaq has 2 more Finals MVP's

Other than that Shaq has more All NBA and All Star... made All Defensive teams too

Steph was a steals leader once and a 50-40-90 to try to make up for that gap but I can't put him over Shaq as of now

As a huge Bron fan and trump hater...this ruined my night.

Made sense TO ME when he said it butnof course people wanted to cry about something.

MPJ agrees

Steve is the Point guard version of Shaq Can’t easily take one over the other personally

Shaq had like 12 straight years after his rookie season of making his team a contender

I don't know if Steph can say the same thing

 

[RustyShackleford]

How that pep talk ended...

 

[antidope]

People acting like this game is the apex of basketball is ridiculous

 

[Moheezy]

Kyrie is crazy man

 

[dmbrhs]

Crazy how they both overcame major lower body injuries as well

Players left from drafts:

2003: LeBron
2004: none
2005: Chris Paul
2006: Kyle Lowry
2007: Durant, Jeff Green, Thadeus Young, Al Horford, Mike Conley
2008: bunch of guys
2009: bunch of guys
2010: TWO guys
2011: bunch of guys
2012, 2013, 2014, etc. :bunch of guys

Looking back, the 2010 draft is just a mess. It's not that it's bad, it's just that almost nobody's career played out the way anyone thought they would. There were some random flashpoints, but it was mostly full of guys who ultimately kind of disappeared from the league.

I really thought Cal's UK boys were gonna be special in the league man

They had their few moments of brilliance like you mentioned but they didn't end up having the careers or longevity that I thought they'd 100% have.

From the names you listed though, I think Mike Conley ending up as the best player and overall pro from that years Final Four might be the biggest surprise or most unexpected outcome for me

 

[Coupé It]

Kyrie is crazy man

One of the most skilled players and finishers ever.

Can’t imagine what he would do if he was 6’7.

 

[rolaholic]

JJ really earning his money over there

 

[lovehateself]

Perk need to stay out of it before JJ hits him
With the “I got dirt on you too doggie “

 

[moe200069]

They hype it up crazy every year . This year was no more crazy than past years.

they built a whole *** NBA court in an airport that no one could actually hoop on. insanely stupid and somehow it worked

Nah, Horford takes it. Horford gets it by being a 5-time All-Star, and also being an All-Star early in his career as well.
