Simmons has more upside than draymond.
In a team with a good coach like steve kerr and no center to clog the lane and multiple shooters, simmons will eat.

What is Simmons upside? If he ever loses his speed he is cooked

afrodoc2:
E be like Dwight no need him NBA salary again.

Shebi na veteran minimum e dey collect before. E no go mind than to collect insult from small boy

Roland17:
You don carry come now

But fr that boy soft as hell

Roland17:
Who dey watch AD vs Dwight drama?

Was telling him how buttersoft he was playing and AD took it P

afrodoc2:
Where is the shooting in that team?

Where is the perimeter defending?

That was what preseason was for. To work out those kinks but they took it as a joke. Anyway Horton Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, Ellington and Malik Monk are supposed to provide most of what you mentioned above. But how do they fit in a regular in game rotation. This was what preseason was for. Any team now already knows to hunt Melo and Westbrook in any defensive matchup so you can't play any starting 5 with those two playing big minutes. Figuring the alternative should have been the plan

This gun prop thing ehn. If I were an actor or film crew, Anything gun na peace out. That is the most unpredictable thing man has invented. It will jam when its supposed to fire and fire when it's supposed to jam. RIP to the woman. Just 42

Once again, the Suns are running the Lakers out of the gym. Fast paced transition basketball..Where did I see this tape? Oh, last season, round 1 playoffs.

Certain players are simply not stepping up to the plate. If I say Antho you say Ny another man say Davis omo na you sabi

The Lakers were far too dismissive of preseason. A newly formed team like that needed the reps and also needed to take notes of the flaws their 0-6 record showed.

Roland17:
The Astros lead the 7 game series and are up by 2 runs. There are 9 innings in the game of baseball, if they are tied by the bottom of the 9th, the go into extra innings. Each inning is divided into the top and bottom of the inning. Each team will pitch and hit in either of those innings. For example, the Astros will pitch during the top of the 1st inning while the Red Sox will hit during the top. During the bottom of the inning, the Red Sox will pitch while the Astros will hit. Each inning ends after the pitcher pitches to 3 hitters of the opposing team.

You score by making a hit and a player of the team that hit the ball makes it to the home plate. There are 4 plates in MLB (Home plate, first base, second base and third base). In baseball, the pitcher is a defender because he doesn't want the hitter (offense) to make contact with the ball. A hit outside the field is a home run.

It's the bottom of the 7th right now and the Astros have made it to the home plate 2 times and that is why they are up by 2.

Ok this makes sense. At least I understand the basics. I see though that it is possible to score 1,2 even 3 or 4 runs at once. Is that when you knock it out the park? A home run ba. What if you hit it sideways?

Also you have to strike out all 3 hitters abi? How do you do that?

Ayafi succubus. Dem go suck everything comot person body.

Only Kanye elevated while with them. And he had to sacrifice his sanity to do it.

You must lose something my guy. I'm not the most spiritual person in the world but how is it that asides fame something must go amiss once you mess with them. The succubus vibes is strong bro

See Phoenix dey knack Lakers akpako. Roland e no fit better for these your useless Celtics oh.

Jokic man. Already in MVP form. This guy is a joke

afrodoc2:
Or since he started kpanning Kardashian?

That one sef follow. Their succubus energy mad gan

afrodoc2:
That game they spend half the time chewing gum and spitting. Tufia!

Na the length of the game dey vex person. It's too fuvkin long. That sport will struggle to gain new fans. But their money ehn. E mad pass basketball own

Roland17:
Dem don come again oh! Na so una talk say I hate Giannis..

Meanwhile, I don give you your answer but I see say u don take style slide like Patrick for my own answers.

Well done oh!

Come explain this baseball to me like I'm 5. I don try make sense of am but e no make sense for my eye at all. This Red Sox and Astros game looks tightly contested based on the score

Since Stephen A anointed Booker the next Kobe omolomo never get himself since then

afrodoc2:
I no watch am but I don’t see why Unseld would be on it and Dwight not on.

Generally speaking I don’t see how 75 players get in ahead of Dwight.

These kinds of lists are popularity contests once you go further than the GOAT candidates or record breaking stat padders/title winners.

Dwight's peak is one of the best for a center in the history of the league. For 4 years he was the undisputed best big in the league. See why I hate all these polling booth lists, zero consistency just vibes and inshallah

Khanben:
The difference in their defense is marginal? Dude CJ cannot guard a cold, Harden is a better defender than CJ.
In terms of playmaking CJ is 3rd to Jrue and Middleton, so I agree he is marginally better than Brown on that end

Jaylen Brown is not an elite defender abeg so if I say marginal I am not inaccurate. The NBA is a league with certain players with unearned defensive reps and others with underrated defense as well. Jaylen Brown is not elite so if I say it is marginal I am not wrong

Lol in terms of playmaking how is Middleton 3rd to CJ? What are their average assist numbers? Go and check. The difference is negligible as well.

afrodoc2:
Bruv, CJ plays phantom defence o.

I get he is not elite but if we take out last season CJ and Portland have lost to teams that should normally beat them. Steph, Harden and most of your faves are turnstiles on defence too

Khanben:
So defense is no longer part of basketball abi. He is the worst defender out of the group. The 3rd best facilitator and just as inconsistent a scorer as Brown.

Jaylen Brown is not a better facilitator than CJ. The difference in their defense is marginal. It is clear that you simply have no respect for CJ. Brown is not better than him

OG Anunoby shot 4 of 18 and Boston still losing by 30 . I hope they don't sack this our Calabar brother oh because of these useless players

afrodoc2:
You people are thinking it should be easy to choose the list maybe cos subconsciously you are thinking mainly of current or modern players.

By the time they start adding Cousy, Maravich, Unseld, Lucas and other immovable players as well as the usual suspects you recognise just how hard it is.

Lol me na that Unseld I go first comot. It's not about modern era sef cos there were many solid players in the old era that didn't make the list. Alex English is one, Grant Hill etc but there really is not justifiable metric to leave Dwight Howard out that list. That one is unconscionable

Khanben:
Baba, lets rum a little experiment with two teams of different competive spectrums. The Bucks and Celtics. Out of Middleton, Jrue, J Brown, and CJ what rank will you give CJ.
For me he is last, which means if he were in any of their teams, he will be the 4th best player on the Bucks (and 5th most important), the 3rd best player on the Celtics. The dude is highly inconsistent offensively and offers next to nothing defensively so that are we talking about

CJ is better than Brown abeg. Wetin una dey yarn sef? The Jrue is a better facilitator but this idea that Portland is a one man show is myth and urban legend.

Roland17:
Now he is going to the rim. This is the problem I have with both JB and Tatum.. They get carried away with one type of offense.

This is my problem with this era. You rarely see guys that can score from all parts of the floor. Everyone has bad shooting nights but it's the frequency and predictability. Everyone trying to be Steph instead of finding your own niche and bread and butter on offense

Who will tell this Jaylen Brown chap that his 3 ball is not falling? This is what tires me with that dude. So inconsistent this Celtics 'big 2'

KNIGHTBlaed:
The disrespect on CJ mehn.
Dame got injured at some point last season and CJ carried that team until his return.

The thing weak me

Khanben:
Top 5 players in the series IMHO are Steph, Dame, Klay, Draymond and Iggy

Ohh you're talking Portland? Can Iggy carry scoring responsibilities like CJ? I don't agree this one sha. Steph, Maybe Dray but the role CJ does Dray cannot fill it for Portland anyway so I no gree that GSW had the top 4 players in that series never mind 5. Una no respect CJ at all sha

Khanben:
That is how they rewrite history, the same KD-less warriors that had a 2 time MVP, top 5 greatest shooter of all time and a 2x DPOY. Out of the best 5 players in that series it can be argued that 4 were playing for GSW, so please explain how he was supposed to win.
Furthermore the disrespect for Jokic is sickening, when did losing to a team lead by the MVP of the league while averaging 34pts 10 assist and 4 rebounds as a guard equate to underachieving. The series against the Pelicans, out of the best 5players in the series the Pels had 3 of them and also had the best 2 defensive players in the series to boot, anyone who picked the Blazers to win that series should go learn the fundamentals of basketball.

Which series you dey talk in particular? I hope its not 2016 Finals? Who are the best 4 players out of 5 that were playing for GSW

Roland17:
It's not even about the culture and accountability, for me it is fit. Does Simmons fit the Warriors high intense transition scoring offense? Remember, the Warriors do not play through a Big Man like it is done in Philly, everyone should be able to score the basketball especially guard players. Getting Simmons on the Warriors roster will only stall the offense and change how they play. Also, Curry dominates ball handling, how is Simmons supposed to fit?

Which is why I said he will add zilch then when you factor his diva tendencies this worsens things already. Ben Simmons as a player is not mentally built for the grind of the playoffs.Even his game is not built for the playoffs, with less transition and more halfcourt play. He is a mark and a trojan for any team that fields him. Steph can play off the ball anyway its Simmons, he has no heart

etidy:
The warriors are just wasting curry's prime for one useless future build.
Trade draymond and one or 2 of those pick for ben simmons.

Why will the Warriors want that diva in their squad?? Culture is even more important than talent. Ben Simmons will do zilch for them. His lack of heart and accountability will ultimately doom any contending team when push comes to shove

Roland17:
I will personally write a petition if that happens. He absolutely deserves to be on that 75 list.

E no go shock me at all

aliondo:
Doesn't just add up at all...How does Dwight not make that list??

We have normalized the disrespect of Dwight Howard. That's the problem. The man was the unquestioned best center in the league for 4 years at least. Maybe he has played too long past his peak that people don't even remember again

Dwight Howard didn't make top 75 I won't be suprised if he doesn't make Hall of Fame. You see why I hate all these lists.
