Yes! OKC shouldn't lose possession to those wolves. grin
I'm done with Curry this season. OKC gon beat y'all this time.
Re: The NBA Begins by kliq(m): 4:35am On May 17, 2016
OKC 1-0 smiley
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:36am On May 17, 2016
OKC takes Game 1. 108-102
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:41am On May 17, 2016
No one should get carried away by tonight's game, not the Warriors and definitely not the Thunder.

The post season is about adjustments and I am looking forward to how both teams make adjustments in game two.

This is a pretty difficult one for me, I am torn and would stay on the fence for this one.. How do u root against Curry? He is defining greatness and team play and as much as I criticize Durant, I have a very very soft spot for KD, I want him to win a championship, however, at the expense of Curry?

Again, no one should exaggerate this result.

Yes!! I thought the lakers fans were bad, but mehn, warriors fans are the most self-entitled bunch I have come across. Good to see them eat a loss at home - wheres all that dancing now Curry smiley.

Good job to Donovan, who didnt panic on those crazy curry 3s that were falling early - stick to the game plan. The warriors backcourt is deadly on scoring, but they are soft. Just outphysical them, and if they can still make those 3s, live with the result.
Re: The NBA Begins by Mizzzbeee(f): 4:44am On May 17, 2016
But how did Warriors go from 60-47 to this angry complacent play down the stretch. They would definitely bounce back. This is the ginger they needed. OKC ddn't play great, it was just our inability to keep the lead, which is strange for Warriors. But it's good thing next time they won't take anything for granted. Now the playoffs is interesting. Warriors in 5.

Everyone trolling the warriors, you know how this works now. We have been there and done that. You know deep down Warriors is taking this series. grin Enjoy your game 1 fame.

@lola Williams hmmm angry .. lipsrsealed .. undecided
Re: The NBA Begins by addempsea(m): 4:47am On May 17, 2016
What’s the crazier stat: Steph Curry with 7 turnovers or Kevin Durant shooting 9-29?
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 4:47am On May 17, 2016
Couple of rushed 3s by Klay in the Third quarter that didn't splash and unforced turn overs from the whole team. Refs made significant mistakes again especially the foul on Iggy that should have been 2FTs and would have levelled the game.

The loss entered me deeply but every great team utilises moments like this to make a statement. I still believe #DubNation.

James is a great player, Curry is also a great player but a better teammate.
One on one situation Curry will smoke Lillard and James. And for God's sake when you talk of PGs start with Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, Isaiah Thomas of the Detroit , Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Walt Frazier. You ever heard of them?

Lol.. Today is a tough one for us all. I still think Iguodala is sleeping he needs to wake up. No lie OKC played well. This was one of those games were everyone is lazy and didn't play the game one at a time. Kerr panicked as well. We were too hurried and eager with each Playland possession. Curry should learn to lead the offense sometimes and make it easy for Green. He makes unnecessary passes. Like just handle the play one on one. Iguodala and Barnes scare me.

Re: The NBA Begins by lolawilliams(f): 5:36am On May 17, 2016
Curry completely disappeared in the 4th quarter, but I bet no one will call him out. If this was Durant or LeBron everyone on national media would be going nuts. Double standard, Curry choked

you and me both bro. cheesy
problem is they will make those three most of the time. I know KD won't shoot that horribly again.
the thunders make it to the finals them am rooting for them.

Bleep your false Modesty bullshit Steph.

Abeg commot for here. You picked the best team in the East and the 2nd and 3rd team in the West and you say you're still winning. SMH. You for pick 2nd and 3rd too in the East to ensure total assurance. undecided
And A40 please just leave that Lola girl. Whoever Picks Iverson over Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Jason Kidd surely doesn't know basketball.

He carried his sixers 10
years without any help. MJ
had Dennis n Pippen, and
Kobe had Shaq. He was
and always will be the
best player EVER!



The reason A.I. is in the
top 10 is because he is
the greatest little man in
the history of the game if
I were ever to pick a
starting Shooting Guard to
my team I would pick
Allen Iverson yes sorry
Kobe, D-Wade, Michael
Jordan, Jerry West
because he is not a point
guard he is a shooting
guard.
Allen had the best cross
over ever if you haven't
seen it look it up it was
an ankle breaker he even
crossed Jordan and that's
no easy task I guess you
can say he has the
"ANSWER"


The guy is 6'1", I would
say he's the best dribbler
of all time, he can
Crossover, Between the
legs crossover, Behind the
back and, The spin move.
He's had multiple injuries,
still making as many
matches as possible...
And he didn't turn up to a
single game not playing
his best.



Allen Iverson is one of the
toughest NBA player ever.
He takes beatings out
there every game but gets
right up. He's a warrior.
You don't see toughness
like that from Jordan or
Kobe or most people in
today's game. He was
barely six feet tall and
could dunk like crazy, had
an amazing crossover, and
lead the league in steals
his 1st 10 seasons. Allen
Iverson had NO HELP.
Unlike Kobe and Jordan.
He is amazing. The
Answer.



Allen Iverson is just
amazing to me he should
be at least in the top ten the
beginning was just
outstanding he had
amazing offense and also
he was the best defender
against Michael Jordan top
that! Also Iverson had so
many games where he got
above 40 points I know he
is pretty short but he is
one of the greatest
basketball players in
history



Best player ever but never
got the treatment he
deserved when I am in
the nba I'll tell everyone
how he was my inspiration
how he went through all
that and and still did all
that.. He is the answer 3



If you look at Iverson's
best career plays, you'll
see one that comes up in
a lot of videos and its
Iverson getting a basket in
Jordan's mitt. Its crazy. I
mean Jordan is 6 inches
taller than Iverson and
Iverson swishes in Jordan's
mitt. he's really the
greatest. He's only 6 foot
but he can dunk like this
guy had hops.



Allen iverson is the best
point guard to ever play
the game. His unique
shooting skills along with
his handles and passing
abilities were mesmerizing
he is truly the best ball
handler to ever hi the
game of basketball and if
he would have gone to the
lakers with Kobe and shaq
the team would have one
twice as many
championships s back to
A. I he is truly
mesmerising and and its
no question dts y hes in d hall of fame


This guy had magic, with
only 6 feet tall he could
do many things on the
floor. Best crossover in the
history. And he didn't
have a great team to
support him. Kobe had
Shaq, Michael had Pippen.
Just watch Game 1 2001
finals against Kobe, 48
points and Kobe only had
15. Just amazing guy.



Allen Iverson would be top
5 if he wouldn't have
ruined his career after
leaving philadelphia. The
guy had so much swagger,
and he could score on
anybody at will in his
prime. Lets remember, he
was a 6'0 shooting guard!
He made it look easy
scoring against guys much
bigger than him



He dominates no one
wants to win or compete
as much as he does he is
the best basketball player
hands down Allen iverson
led his team to the nba
finals by himself pretty
much and if he had a side
kick like Jordan had Scottie
pippen he would've one
more then 6 rings


1. Iverson
2. Jordan
3. Lebron
over 24 000 points for 890
games fantastic



If Allen had a better
team... Wait didn't he put
Philly on his back and
went to the finals, But ran
into Shaq and Kobe. Allen
is the best player in my
eyes because of his size
and heart and will to win.
Even after a hard nite of
partying he could turn
around and drop 35 on
guys. He had the best
handle I ever seen too,
how many guys got
destroyed by that cross
over. He was like 5'11" and
like 150lbs. All talent. I
know people are feeling
the same way but the got
with the popular choice MJ
I'm not that old but when
I look back it seems that
the greatest or all time is
up for grabs in every era.
Mj came in at the right
time.T.V. ,marketing,
shoes, and novelty. That
what I see. Mj wanna talk
rings. Bill Russell should
be the greatest of all time.
If you talk scoring its wilt
if you say all around its
Oscar Robinson. Talk about
jumping abilities. Vince
Carter, Dominique Wilkins,
Dr J. Tons of guys can fly.
(nate Robinson) so don't
give me that dunk
champion crap. I got eyes
and a brain. No ... more



Dude why his he below
Durant, Iverson has better
handles and has played
longer plus he was an
eleven time all star and
Durant has made seven all
star games so that's why
Iverson is better


He basically played on a
different time space from
the others, he was really
fast and skilled player,
beat loads of star in 1v1
situations and just destroy
everybody with cross
overs.

Allen iverson is one of the
top 3 greatest nba players
of all times because of his
small size but still could
show up Jordan

Sorry Youre the one who surely knows nothing about nba maybe You watch china lge alot.. Youre also decieved by curry's 2 seasons of greatness when lebron has every seasons on greatness.. Im done mannnn
