THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[Zo gif]

Zion is the new big, but I kinda hope we get a real dominant big man again.

Embiid really coulda been it.

Giannis a fraud. System freak
Greatest stretch of defense and offense from a non warrior team I seen in a while

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I feel like Bill Russell could have slowed Shaq down.


Obviously it's all guesswork but..


Bill was 6'11 around 230, Wilt played around 270 in his prime, around 300 by the end. Bill was very effective guarding Wilt.

Modern day training maybe Bill gets up to 250-260.

On the other hand I feel confident saying Wilt was a worse offensive player than Shaq ..


I'td be tough but I give Bill Russell ...THE GREATEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF BASKETBALL a shot to maaaybe slow Shaq down.

Greatest "post zone illegal defense rule change" defense?

I got either


19 Raptors
08 Celtics
04 Pistons

 

[dman14]

shaq was a handful. could get whatever shot he wanted in the paint and resulted in a bucket or free throw attempt. great passer out of the double team as well. don't think we will see that type of big man dominance again

 

[SpittaJetLife]

He can’t stay healthy and he’s a 4

Lol Raptors do not belong on this list they weren't in the top 3 defenses in the regular season nor playoffs like those other 2 squads were. Homer.

Giannis putting up 30 and 14 in 31 minutes a night. Shoots 10 free throws per game. Physically imposing. He’s the closest thing you’re getting to a Modern Shaq.

 

[pums]

Prime Shaq would render all the greats as second options if they were on the same team.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Oh they got Carmen Electra in here. She was a sexy white chick back in the day. She still can get it.

Wilt dominated those matchups. Bill just had HOF roster to help him.

The wildest thing about Shaq is that he was lazy...hell tell you that himself..there's no telling how longer he would have remained dominant over the league if he would have trained harder

 

[HIM]

37% as a center is gross

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Shaq has become absurdly underrated.

My grandkids gunna won't believe me when I try to explain how dominant he was.

In terns of peak performance only Jordan, LeBron and Kareem compare.

Hakeem probably had the greatest peak ever, in 1993-94:

-MVP
-DPOY
-Finals MVP - the only player ever to win all 3 in a single season
-Won a championship with the worst supporting cast for a championship team ever

 

[pums]

Hakeem is probably the most versitile big of all time. He would fit in with any roster and on any era .

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Hakeem is probably the most versitile big of all time. He would fit in with any roster and on any era .

Drexler is probably under appreciated . He won one with the Rockets , but carried the Blazers to the finals twice (against the Pistons and Bulls)

Dude has put in the work. Possiblly the next Phil ?


Everybody is PC now, so they want to water down comedy. They don't feel uncomfortable about jokes targetting black people though.

Everything is PC but porn and nudity, and vulgarity are easily accessible on all social media apps. Content is 10x worse nowadays.

[osh kosh bosh]

Wilt dominated those matchups. Bill just had HOF roster to help him.

Yeah no.

Yeah Wilt still got his points but the efficiency took a pretty big hit, he was shooting like 52,%-54% from the feild around that time..

Russel getting him down to 48-49% imo is very effective defense against a star player.


And yeah that of x Russel won just because he had a HOF roster stuff" is BS I use to think that but Ben Taylor's break down of Wilt pretty much convinced me Russell is def better.

Russel played In an era where rim protection was by far the most important aspect of the game and Russel is easily the greatest rim protecter/ defender of all time, so you can switch rosters with Wilt and Russell .

and yeah maybe Wilt gets a couple extra rings but I think the result is largely the same. Russell was just better.

This is what being shook looks like.
