A40:
Lool Man's snuck in Butler, PG and Cousins like we won't notice.

chic2pimp:


I"ll have Butler,PG and Cousins over Davis said no one ever. Hell apart from maybe a couple of seasons, Davis has always been rated over Westbrook too. Heck even Giannis only nudged slightly ahead during His MVP seasons.

The reason why we are not having that discussion with Regards to the duo of Harden and KD is because Harden just recently signed. Once that duo gets sufficient game time, trust me it'll come up.

SmooshCHN:
Omo, Westbrook in his MVP season didn't deceive up to 80% of people in the thread. Just saying.

Roland17 where art thou? You boys are currently beasting as I type.

Roland17:


Baba no jinx am oh! @A40 dey burn red and black candles on top our matter!!!I dey hold my heart for tongue as I dey watch..
We have dominated the line of scrimmage and ran the ball well and the GOAT had been spectacular. We have always been bad on the 2nd so I am not surprised it’s only a one score game..

How about that Badddddddd Mannnnnn!!!

Roland17:

Is Durant the best scorer in basketball history even above Jordan
This man just came back from an Achilles and is dropping 42 points averaging 30+ on 50/90/40

nairamaniac:

are u sure? Wasn't cousins ahead of Davis while he was in sacramento? Cousins was the best bigman/center before his injury o.
most of us felt he wd have dat position locked down for next several seasons to come
With AD, Towns and Embild competing to displace him

Butler was on everyone's lips during his last season in Chicago and even thereafter.


U guys seem to forget so easily.

Well, Let me don't derail.

chic2pimp:


Even when Westbrook had His MVP season, I still saw people rate AD over Him.

SmooshCHN:
Watching that game, I don't even know what to say. Kevin Durant is just built different. How the hell do you stop Kevin Durant? Na this KD Anthony Davis wan guard? I am just happy he is back to almost 98%

Khanben:



For these issues, IMHO the major problem for players is media and fans narrative, because a great player who never wins a ring he is constantly ribbed and ridiculed especially if he remains in the spot light after retirement.
For the owners, they can easily solve most of their issues by making front office decisions based on competence instead of nepotism. when players keep seeing wrong moves and decisions as the order of the day, they will start worrying about the limited time period they have in building their legacy.
With the current culture most players will not accept wasting their primes on teams that are badly run, it is high time owners recognise that it is no longer the 80's or 90's and get with the program. With the amount of money in the game especially outside the court, players will always be attracted to a team where management has great leadership. at the same time bad management will continue to become more unattractive, the days where owners hire people because they know them and not because of their ability to do the job is simply over and ownership should get with the program.

PS: One aspect of great leadership is to ensure that a superstar is not over indulged even if it leads to a reset, getting it over with is better for the franchise in the long term

afrodoc2:


Cousins plays less defence than a breath of air.

Davis was always better. Offensively they were possibly same level but the gap in defence was and is too wide.

mattfeuter:


He might be.

It’s not even the fact that he’s a good scorer, it’s always the efficiency for me.

I respect efficient players and not just guys jacking up shots.

This was why it never worked in OKC having Westbrook as his decision maker.

The only fear now For the Nets should be Kyrie.

aliondo:


I dunno why but I'm kinda having this feeling that the Nets with just Harden and K.D will fare better than when Kyrie is added to the mix.......
