Ersan: In the instance you can't argue without name calling or asking insulting questions, I humbly request that you stay off my mention/ posts. It is a genuine request. Thanks |

Ersan:And there lies the problem. Y'all give him too much credit. We had quite a lot of Cavs fans propagating Kyrie being better than Steph but he's become a bum now. Lmao! Anyway I digress. Curry's numbers were historic! No phuckin with that. Pick a year any year of Bron's MVP campaigns and tell me which one beat Steph's 2015/2016 performance. I'll wait 2 Likes |

NFL in a bit.. Very optimistic about the chances of the mighty Steelers. Martavis is back! Still praying they cut that bum Sammie Coates but landing Joe Haden was real savvy! Pats vs Chiefs tonight! |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 11:43pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
A40: You do realize the incongruity of your statement right? which one am i? am i giving him too much credit or am i calling him a bum? LOL! Starting from 04/05, all of lebrons numbers are just as good if not better than that. You sleep on the fact that lebron does historic sh it on the regular. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 12:26am On Sep 08, 2017 |
Rose is basically kyrie just can't shoot as well;less handles;not as athletic (still looks good) but a better passer. we probably don't have to change too much. never called kyrie a bum, how can I? my main gripe with this his new career move aside from the obvious is that,it is a bit too late to become the type of player he wants to be. the only time I ever called kyrie better than Curry was to needle the curry lovers,using kyries ROY as the reason he better pass curry. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:07am On Sep 08, 2017 |
Ersan:I am saying he gets too much credit!! There is this mind numbing propensity of Bron fans to downplay the contributions of everyone else even at the expense of contradicting previous held opinions. A lot of people who swore Kyrie was better than Steph (A two time league MVP) suddenly argue he is a meh player just because he demanded a trade. That was the only unanimous MVP vote in NBA history. You cannot name 1 year LeBron did that shooting at over 50% and leading the league in scoring and steals. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:16am On Sep 08, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:Rose a better passer than Kyrie? I don't know about that one. Too late at 25? I commend Kyrie for his willingness to step out of Bron's shadow. That is a very ballsy move! He could have chosen just to be an exceptional sidekick but imagine if he goes head to head with his old teammate and slays the dragon! Just think of the lane he would have created for himself in the pantheon of NBA greats. I salute Kyrie |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 2:31am On Sep 08, 2017 |
A40:Am going off his best years in Chicago. injuries can't take that. If you don't flex those passing muscles early,atrophy go set in. Kyrie never acted like he wan pass before. Stupidity they pass for courage sometimes. Seriously,he gets point for trying to be his own man.I wish him well,just not too well. I no say Black Mamba low-key influence his decision. Snakes they cast the league. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:33am On Sep 08, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:I wonder how Kyrie's numbers were supposed to be high playing with Dion Waiters, Dellavedova etc compared to Derrick Rose on a vastly better team. Kyrie is a capable passer of the rock. And at the moment he is definitely better than Rose, if you can step out of your Bron fan viewpoint for a second you would agree that Kyrie was very smart! It would have been phoolish for him to wait for an older Lebron to decide his future for him. He took a grown man step 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 7:28am On Sep 08, 2017 |
A40:ha! the age old reason for why any score first guard doesn't pass the ball,his teammates are never good enough. we know guards that are inclined to share the ball, Rose and Kyrie no join,but one is more wiling to pass on some possession. "Seriously,he gets point for trying to be his own man" that was in my post,me admitting that he made a nice move,with some calculated risk,don't know what bron fan view point gats do with saying the truth. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:26am On Sep 08, 2017 |
A40: Here's the truth whether you like it or not, LeBron is a transcendental once in a generation player, of course his contributions are irreplaceable but most of the people he plays with are not like hes proven by achieving great things without them over and over again and he will once again this season. I never claimed Kyries better than curry and don't think having him in my top 5 PGs makes him "meh". Like I said he's a very very good player and my opinions about him haven't changed. Steph Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, period. I've never denied that. Happy? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:32am On Sep 08, 2017 |
SIRcumalot: Derrick Rose in his prime was definitely better than Kyrie. Almost single handedly carried the bulls to the best record in the east ahead of LeBrons heat and the Celtics. Youngest MVP ever (though Lebron deserved MVP that Year). Rose was also the most athletic PG ever until Russell Westbrook. Completely unguardable he was. Of course today's Rose is completely different but let's not totally forget who he was and who he could have been. Let's hope 3/4th of that player shows up this year and I see him on a path to redemption. |

Donlittle: Bruh... I had to preserve my IQ points by making jokes. In fact, I'm tired He says "Kawhi Durant is a more sensible debate" and "Curry winning 2 MVPS doesn't make him better than Kawhi" I'm tired |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:46pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
Decale: Curry has two MVP awards. Durant has one. Kobe has one. Is he better than them? You lot here just love engaging in the most ridiculous arguments And frankly I don't even know why I indulge you when it's very clear you don't know what you're saying. Only an ignorant foool will claim curry is better than kawhi. Blasphemy! Kawhi is the second best or at worst 3rd best player in the league, there was recently a very strong debate whether curry is in the top 5. These are established facts. Good on you preserving your IQ "points" in single digits. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:29pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:But it's not a lie nau. In Kyrie's early years his supporting cast was crap. Abi you wan deny? Kyrie Irving is not a ball hog and besides you are never going to get the best of Kyrie Irving the passer when he is playing with Lebron who also thinks he's a Point Guard. Back to the Rose and Kyrie debate all I know is that in 2017 Kyrie is the better passer |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:33pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
Ersan:Kawhi better than Steph? In what planet? You people should stop with that Molly Percocet abuse. Abeg who are the dangbana people questioning if Steph is a top 5 player? I don't get the disrespect for Steph. Is it because he is light skinned and makes the game easier than it looks 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:56pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
A40: D Rose is also playing with a ball dominant forward in Melo. Every argument you made for Kyrie goes both ways. I don't see a clear winner in this debate though. This is where subjectivity comes to play and clearly you're not inclined to hear roses side of the argument. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:01pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
A40: LOL! All I can say is I'm disappointed in you, seems you also have your head up Currys as- like everyone else here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpaty9VujYk Few analysts name KD ahead of kawhi to begin with, I'd like to see just one who rates curry. I'm not denying he's top 5 but that's a better debate than saying he's better than kawhi. The basketball gods should smack your tongue before you finish that statement. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:01pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
Ersan:Ball dominant as a scorer not a passer! Melo is not relied upon to create. Completely different scenario. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 8:12pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
Ersan:Keep quiet my friend! Kawhi were wo? Do you watch these games or allow fugazy analysts with a cult following decide for you. Stop arguing like a sheep! Watch games and stop bandying opinions of analysts like gospel every time. KD and Steph Curry are better than Kawhi and no lunatic analyst with a podcast or YouTube channel can change that fact! Wake me up when Kawhi leads his teams to NBA Finals and drops historic seasons like Steph did. Kawhi ko Kamoru ni 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:26pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
A40: LMAO! I've been rating kawhi for a very long time just as I'm rating the human alphabet now saying he will get his due credit in a while and he has. Sometimes when opinions clash it's good to hear the opinions of experts as well, if you think these two are wastemen then what about sir Charles and Shaq who both rate him as number 2 in the league? Do you know basketball better than them as well? What about your god Jeffrey? Sit down small fry! Put some respect on kawhis name and get of Currys d-ck! No objective person who watches the NBA will make such ridiculous statements. Leading a team of 3 all stars to the finals is no unachievable feat. Kawhi is basically carrying the Spurs in the stacked west to the conference finals. Only way to stop the Spurs from spanking them like they were is to send zaza to do him dirty. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:31pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
For his size and courage, IT4 is an anomaly and its this same anomaly in size that concerns me about his hip injury especially considering he turns 29 in February. I think he would miss a significant portion of the season and play sporadically when he returns which would force the Cavs to move him elsewhere. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 9:14pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
Ersan:KAWHI ;DD hez a good player no doubt both offensive ly and defensively making him the BEST TWO-WAY player in the LEAGUe right now earning him DPOY for 2 years in a row and even 2nd and 3rd place in MVP votings for 2016 and 2017 which some say he should have one.in fact he outperform end Curry Dis season.HOWever hez only a SYSTEM player playing according to POPOVICH's rules just like DUNcAN.thereby reducing his PPG and limiting his ball usage. Hez nowhere close to curry's level. Stephen curry is 1 a better scorer averaging (22.4 points to KAWHI's16.4) 2BETteR LEADer,carrying an unknown 2015 warriors team to an NBA finals winning his first ever MVP that year with KLay Thompson being the only all star on that team 3 he makes those around him better just like lebron_we see this in draymond green Andre iguodala even Andrew bogut as at 2015 Don't also forget that he led the warriors to the best EVER record set by an NBA team in 2016 beating the 95_96 bulls record(the team that comprised of MJ and pippen) .that same year he was also voted as an unanimous MVP the FIRST ever in NBA history note that this was accomplished with Durant still playing for okc whom he beat coming from from a 3-1 deficit In the 2016 western conference FINals. Bro u shouldn't compare KAWHI with curry its nt even close.KAWHI is only better DEFENsIVELy.aside that,curry is a better overall player. 5 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by Decale: 10:30pm On Sep 08, 2017 |
Ersan: Established facts that there was a strong debate? They should continue Durant is a multiple scoring champion, NBA champion and finals MVP, multiple all star, led his team to the playoffs and is a major impact on his team stemming from his leadership Kobe is a 5 time NBA champion with 2 finals MVP, multiple first team NBA, most all star appearances, 30k points, 35.4ppg in a season, led Kwame Brown and Smush Parker to playoffs. These are players that besides low number of MVP titles have proven themselves time and time again. Who is Kawhi Leonard to be the 2nd best player in the league? What has he achieved? DPOY? So has Joakim Noah Choose a player, put him in the Brooklyn nets, try and get them back to the playoffs. You're going to pick Kawhi over Durant and Curry? Okay, continue... 5 Likes |

Donlittle: LMAO! I don't have the time small fry. I have given up. Seems I have just stumbled across a curry orgy here. Some idiotts claiming no one watching the NBA would rate kawhi ahead of curry when it's literally the other way around. No executive, player analyst or coach would rate curry ahead of kawhi. Like I said, this is a curry orgy and you small fries are incapable of making any sense because it seems Currys jizz is covering your eyes. Only a group of deluded Nigerian curry fan boys would make such ridiculous claims and agree uniformly. Just shows how misinformed/uninformed most of you are. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:28am On Sep 09, 2017 |
rotimi9: people who rate kawhi ahead of curry MJ Charles barkley Shaq Kenny smith Stephen A Every analyst Every former player Every NBA coach and most players. People who rate curry ahead of kawhi Curry fan boys on nairaland. And I'm the one who just started watching basketball. LOL! You lot are confused. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 12:35am On Sep 09, 2017 |
A40:No,but that supporting cast na easy excuse. When the team needed another playmaker to run the cavs offense this last season where Kyrie dey? His a great iso scorer,big shot maker,The rest still remains to be seen. If the term for ball hogging never change na kyrie face go appear near the term for dictionary,not necessarily a bad thing. Have seen Rose be better on a good team,the cavs are a really good team not that we need him for passing he just need to play like kyrie for us to work well. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 12:48am On Sep 09, 2017 |
rotimi9:LMAO! You do realize duncan is a top ten all time player yeah, you lot have no respect for greatness. The fact that his ball usage is a sign of his effectiveness and not a downside at all. Hez nowhere close to curry's level.Unknown but talented, he had klay and draymond, they were hailed as a team, no one ever saw them as being carried by curry. Lets not forget curry is three years older and kawhi averaged more points last year, even with his "limited" ball usage. 3 he makes those around him better just like lebron_we see this in draymond green Andre iguodala even Andrew bogut as at 2015F-ck off with your malaria, three franchise caliber players on his team and he makes them better? LMAO! Are you talking about the same warriors team that blew a 3-1 lead in the finals to a less talented team You are not well. Besides, 72-10 has a better RING to it, get it? Tell me one quality spurs player besides kawhi, and you still needed zaza to take him out to gain the upper hand, thats what making a team better is, not riding with 2 other all stars and still blowing 3-1 leads in finals and choking in the final minutes Bro u shouldn't compare KAWHI with curry its nt even close.KAWHI is only better DEFENsIVELy.aside that,curry is a better overall player.Are you all typing from the same beer parlor? i am convinced most of you fellas dont even know who kawhi is. |
