Jeanie getting credit for the chip now?
Why shouldn't she? Every other owner does. You hate women or something?

I think you’re completely underestimating how difficult it is to win a title. Winning 1 title in 10 years is not something to be ashamed of in the least bit. I also don’t blame him for not running it back with that roster because it took a Bron epic choke for them to even win it.
It's 1 title in 20 years as the owner. Where I will give him credit for is before became the owner they was trash. They had the good run with Dirk which got a title. He badly mismanaged then after that title, now he got Luka due to the Hawks making that trade.

I was gonna say in that same post that I'm not sure that whole trade and debacle is not discussed enough. The hype was INSANELY through the roof when the original trade happened and it ended in SPENCER DINWIDDIE.
They really thought they had Gen Z Bird + McHale
I don't know who there is to blame for how that all shook out (I'm sure multiple parties all share a part)...but KP has the worst reputation of all parties involved so I think everyone just left it there.

KP can’t move in space, it’s almost impossible to be a good playoff defense with him having to play drop and he can’t really create for himself on an elite level.
Nevermind the injury issues

Trades about to get crazy in these next 7 weeks or so. So many teams need re-alignments and the league is wide open.

Cuban treated Chandler Parsons like he was Larry Bird.

At the time of that move it was almost universally considered a heist and they were cooking with gas. Very few detractors anywhere in the basketball world.I was gonna say in that same post that I'm not sure that whole trade and debacle is not discussed enough.

Bubble KP was a glimpse of what it could’ve been. He was legitimately high-level All Star good in that bubble stretch/first series against the Clips before he got hurt.
Then he kept getting hurt. Carlisle stopped trusting him and did petty Rick Carlisle things. KP got jaded/Luka envy, etc.
The last injury issues blew his mobility and he just can't defend in what the L has moved to - at least not at high-level playoff hoops.
Big swing - a worthy risk at the time. It bombed. But they tried and most everyone at the time thought they hit a grand slam.

Surprising that everyone is talking about Cuban constructed teams and his only championship in 2011 but no one has mentioned the 2006 Finals appearance where they lost to D-Wade with the Refs as his #2.

I didn't say they deserve the most credit but especially in this case there is credit in some facet seeing as this is her family business and what led to to Bron even considering to come in the first place.

Ain't even realize Luka shooting 50% this year. Crazy.

Giving Jeanie Buss credit for much of anything given what we’ve seen is COMICAL . Might as well direct that credit to Rich Paul

You still think Bron comes with Jim Buss in charge?
Another woman hater as well smh.

In 2K he's a god but in real life he hasn't lived up to the "unicorn" moniker at all. Just flashes before another injury

Yeah...but he had those limitations when they traded for him. In theory, that's supposed to be on the front office to account for those limitations in how they build the team around it's stars.
That whole thing ended UGLY for the plug to have been pulled so fast. It wasn't just they found out "this guy is injury prone and can't defend so we HAVE to pull the plug for whatever we can get right now".
Even with his limitations, he's the most talented player they've put next to Luka since they've had him. It wasn't supposed to end like that because he couldn't play drop and he's pie.

I thought Luka would be good, but like Manu Ginobili good at best. Now it feels disrespectful to compare them and Manu's a legend.

I think Bron went to the Lakers because of Magic and what he sold him on, Jeanie played very little factor in that imo.
