Kawhi is playing some nice basketball these playoffs. On both ends of the floor.

Before I forget, it was “Quick & Clean”..

On to game 3 in ATL.

Westbrook is just funny. Takes a pull up jumper and misses. Next play he drives to the basket and also misses grin And the funny thing is none of his teammates touched the ball on both plays
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:15am On Apr 19, 2023
If the Suns are not going to rebound the ball, especially, Ayton who is getting mauled by Zubac, then this thing may be over pretty quick for the Suns.

They are abysmal defensively at the top of the key and can’t stop a lick!

The NBA has handed D. Green a 1 game suspension for stomping on Sabonis chest. I figured a decision must be made today if any was going to be made.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:10am On Apr 19, 2023
The Clippers are blitzing the “Slimreaper” with doubles and triples but man is smoking them by finding the open man for the assist. Either way, you are getting smoked!!!

Deserved suspension for Green. At some point you have to be held accountable for your madness

The kain wailing wen dey happen for Ajala camp since this news break don pass Jordan day 2/3/23. The tears just dey flow! It's been 20 years since the GOAT left the scene but the man is still pressing necks even without asking. I mean look at the gap na...lol.

According to the Athletic, the anonymous players included superstars/ all stars and young players still active in the league.

Here is an excerpt from one of the players

"M.J., for sure. Definitely 6-for-6 (in the Finals) is a big thing for me. But the way I look at basketball is (it's) about the winning, and if I feel like I need (somebody) to go win me a game, I'm picking M.J. over everybody. (I'd pick) whoever is going to carry me through a series, carry me through the playoffs, and is setting the tone. I think M.J. checks all those boxes."

It's a certain reverence and respect he commands that I've not seen in any sport. Even amongst his contemporaries

Look at that Allstar game and how even in Cleveland he got the loudest pop.

Shannon Sharpe who's a notorious Bronsexual you should see how he describes Michael Jordan. Shannon is a 3x Superbowl champ by the way. A HOFer. But I've heard him and other superstars describe this dude with awe that's almost bordering on idolatry

Forget on court achievements. 1 more MVP, 2 more FMVPS, 1 more DPOY, 2 more rings seal that argument. It's the off court greatness that further cements Jordan's GOAT status

He will never get to that level of reverence and acclaim. He knows that's why he can win a title and during the speech still be lamenting about wanting respect

One needs validation from everyone even strangers the other does not care.

It says a lot about how he's perceived that he can have a team of AD and Russell and still be perceived as an underdog to freaking Ja Morant.

Why will you parade a player as the GOAT and still call him underdog against inferior opposition. The math ain't mathing

All this anonymous nba player quotes, might lead to increased animosity amongst teams, and I am loving it grin grin grin.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:53am On Apr 20, 2023
Why are the Grizzlies allowing Dillon Brooks shoot them out of this game.

He shouldn't be taking 7 shots a game never mind 7 shots in half a quarter
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:25am On Apr 20, 2023
Is it just me or do these Grizzlies look better without Ja?

Everything seems a bit more fluid despite Brooks attempts to shoot them out of the game in the first quarter

AD is having a shocker btw
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:35am On Apr 20, 2023
Lol as AD dey block people na so them dey block am back
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 1:43am On Apr 20, 2023
E be like say we go carry our one win dey go back LA. Because the refereeing has been shocking so far. Shocking. And it doesn't look like it'll change.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:58am On Apr 20, 2023
Lakers turn Xavier Tillman to Michael Jordan. This man is destroying AD ffs
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:02am On Apr 20, 2023
Tillman has to be the oldest looking 24 y.o in history

I wasnt capping when I said this is a nightmare matchup for the Lakers. Some folks wach for names. Others watch the games themselves. They way the Grizz play, if they are clicking, the Lakers cant stop them. The only hope for this game is to hope the young team relents late 3q, try to cut things to 10 points and see what happens in 4q.

The only other team I fear more in terms of matchup is Denver. If Jamaal Murray plays anything like the last time he was healthy, they coming out in the West. Lebron iced him the last time, but that was 4 years ago. Legoat don turn to papa smurf

Yea Memphis is for real. There's a reason the Lakers were only a +1 favourite with Ja missing.

The lakers are not that good they're the easiest matchup for anyone except AD put up like 30+ each game

That is the lie you lot sell to each other.

If you say they're underperforming that's an acceptable argument. When you say a team with the best record in the West since the Allstar break is not good I respectfully disagree
