The Official NBA Thread: Mavericks-T'Wolves Game 1 on TNT

[Coupé It]

Dame gets it.

I’m not even sure what the right word is to best capture it - unexpected? improbable? creative?

But Kyrie’s shot today is definitely one of the most something NBA GWs I’ve ever seen.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

"most skilled ever"? lol yall are impressed by that Kyrie shot?

Bob Cousy> Kyrie

 

[doublemesh96]

If kyrie is the most skilled ever who’s 2 and 3?

 

[B Sox]

Was thinking about potentially going to this Cs/Wiz game today but looked at tickets this morning and it was like $250 for uppers

 

[elpablo21]

Only one player in the league can do that.

It’s literally that man right there.

 

[B Sox]

“Most skilled” will forever be hilarious

 

[doublemesh96]

Kenny smith was doing this at his home all day. Everyone had it they just didn’t do it in game…..

Kenny Smith is mostly correct.

The idea that 80's, 90's NBA players were like physically incapable of doing these type of moves is silly.
it was against the rules for most of the history of the league so it didn't occur to them to do it.

Im sure if you had a time machine and showed a tape of Kyrie to Rod Strickland or Tim Hardaway and said "hey can you do this?" im sure they would have no problem doing it.

Jokic disappearing in a big game again. Becoming a theme

Yall equating skills to what looks good to you aesthetically

 

[dman14]

when you guys say skilled, is this just offense?

 

[Coupé It]

While being draped by a 7 footer with less than 3 seconds with his off hand? Floater from 18 feet?

Appreciate the artiste bro.

You got it bro

There's a difference in appreciating and saying he's the only person who can do that lmao

 

[elpablo21]

Not even just offense

It's literally dribble package and shot profile. Nothing else included that involves being a highly skilled offensive player

How many kids or NBA players do we see practicing the left handed hook shot floater from 20 feet tomorrow? Will it even be quantifiable?

 

[getback]

Sam Hauser with 10 threes only 3 mins into the 3rd.

EDIT just sprained his ankle on someone’s foot from the Wizards bench

 

[B Sox]

Sam Hauser with 10 threes only 3 mins into the 3rd.

One shy of Curry’s record for the arena.

 

[JD617]

It's wild how this is the worst Wizards team in franchise history by a comfortable margin. Just considering how many bad teams they've had over the years.

First word that came to mind was gutsy.

It took me a second or two to comprehend what happened.

Ramadan Kai man.

Kyrie most skilled ever.

And shortly Samuel will become greatest 3 point shooter ever.

Kyrie with a lucky shot on st Patrick’s day ….
