Missing todays slate is painful

When I get off this plane I’m tryin to read some beautiful slander. Don’t let me down Mavs and to a lesser extent, suns

[Brownstone]

what y’all think about this?

Garnett?!

We talking about 9 time first team all defense KG? 15 time all star with same amount of rings? I'm gonna say no, rest of the list. I'll allow it.

Joker is absolutely better than KG.

Now you know these guys don’t care about defense when it comes to judging greatness…

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Semi on topic: I saw Garnett had 15 all stars compared to 9 all nba teams

Is that one of the most lopsided ratios? No hate on kg but that’s a pretty wide differential

Jokic has 5 all nba, will be 6 by the summer time. I’m going to assume he gets at least 4-5 more which will eclipse Garnett’s

Plus Jokic has 2 mvps and absolutely deserves a third for this year

Pretty clearly going to have a better legacy than Garnett… pretty solid case you could make for being a better player as well

Jokic reaching GOD mode levels these last few years. How much do you value defense?

It’s not like his defense is a liability either

Garnett’s elite defense isn’t enough to make up that gap

[addict4sneakers]

Elite defense gets you so far. Give me the generational offensive hub. Team defense >> individual defense. Just ask Anthony Davis

 

[aepps20]

Pics or ducktales….

Videos of shooting forms and lefty lays may be a new ask though

The only time pics weren’t requested was years ago an NTer from Miami was fighting with his girlfriend and another NTer and her picture was posted and the following was said.

1. “Error 404 Hot not found”
2. “This thread is worthless with pics”

NT was brutal back then

 

[Nipsey3000]

Being fair, jokic has improved to an average defender now. A few years ago, he was sub average.

He still isn't and will never be any resemblance of a rim protector.

He's out of this world brilliant offensively

Great on the glass

IMO

All-stars are worthless you get voted in by fans

All-nba is where it’s at

2 mvps and a fmvp puts jokic over kg for me.

Jokic still not done playing, by the time he retires he’ll pass kg easily

I think Jokic is going to retire at like 34/35. I can’t see him playing until he’s beyond 38 like other big men

They kind of tried Moses Malone because he has 3mvps as well. Moses’ career numbers are astronomical other than assists

 

[keko jones]

Lakers fans, would you want the Lakers to retire LeBron's jersey if he retires as a Laker? Or do you not consider LeBron a true Laker, despite him bringing a championship to the team?

It’s not like he’s getting by today on his elite athleticism.

Vlade Divac and Sabonis were around for a while.

Agreed here

Lakers retired Wilt’s number and he played there like 5 seasons

 

[rbk93]

Im so out of touch.

But if Sengun had to lose to anyone, Maxey is deserving.

 

[sooperhooper]

Ball don't lie, ugly, awkward charge

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

How can you say Bron was from 08-10 when Bean won MVP, and b2b Finals MVPs during that span?

dude enjoys riling up kobe fans i presume

 

[651akathepaul]

Gobert locking up Beal AGAIN on the perimeter. What's good dudes?

GA sees it...

 

[picasso swerve]

I know yall watching Gooby affecting almost all of the Suns inside shots.
