You are a foolish house boy.

The real people that started the protest have achieved the aim and gone back to work. Na street guys dey do this ones now.

Ewu gambia

Shut up your mouth you brainless oaf.

You're no different from the foolish and blood thirsty SARS officers.

Did they tell you all the people you saw outside protesting are unemployed. Most of them are gainfully employed more useful to the society than you are

Anyway I have always suspected you to be a daft cretin from your posts and you have never disappointed. Werey alaso

Was this done by SARS or just regular policemen?

Cos I saw the image of the policeman who killed a guy in Ogbomosho and he is not in SARS uniform

Do you really believe SARS have stopped operating? In due time we would find out if it was SARS or regular policemen.

The short term goal was to have SARS ended, nobody is under any illusions as to the work that is yet to be done

Roland17:
While playing with a damaged heel we must emphasize. We know what happened when the Normad tried to do it without AD!

He didn't even sniff the playoffs. Imagine having the luxury of a player that could give you 25-10 and two blocks with DPOY caliber defense and Rondo off the bench dropping 5-7 assists a night

Emaprince:
Also all the people I saw here protesting looks like yahoo boys and runs girls.

This is my problem because yahoo boys seems to be the most active with the whole protest going on.

You're not bright at all. Don't take this the wrong way.

Stupid stereotypes like these are why Nigeria is the way it is. There are lawyers, doctors, IT professionals among those protesting but you're here yarnin megedefegede

It's a freaking protest. Shey na suit and tie with Atiku dem suppose wear ni

I don't wish anything bad to happen to anyone

But at this stage maybe if their loved ones has been affected by the acts of SARS... They won't be here spewing rubbish

Look at the guy that was killed in Surulere today....It's so annoying

Did you see the babes they bundled and were beating to a pulp. The elderly woman wey dem light slap for face.

Ibime your people. Shey na true?

SARS is not the only unit with guns. They're not the only unit underpaid. So why is their case different?

Shey na only police dey underpaid? The way mandem dey reason sometimes I don't even understand. Make everybody kuku enter street dey thief nau

WeissVonner:
A40 has to be the most shameless hypocrite on the face of this earth. Before the season he raved about the parity in the league. In fact, he anointed the clippers as the prohibitive favourites. LeBron inevitably wins and suddenly, the Lakers are a superteam. Embarrassing

Congratulations your man needed a teammate dropping 25-10-3-2 to beat a severely undermanned team that missed two starters for 3 and 5 games respectively.

Enjoy your Mickey Mouse ring and let us hear word

WeissVonner:
Your man has never been past the first round without Pippen or Phil Jackson. Whats his real edge over LeBron?

Lool MJ got to a full Conference Finals without Phil Jackson.

Pippen? Lmaoooo Pippen contributed 9 ppg in 88. He literally scored 0 pts in a game MJ scored 50 at one point. I dare you to show me any series where MJ was the 3rd best player on his own team. Man's 6'9 but D.Wade at 6'4 got more offensive boards than he did

The sheer clownery and buffoonery comparing Pippen's contribution to the likes of AD and co.

benji93:
Make we just let them enjoy this one. . It kind of seems like the just concluded finals was 50/50 and we counted them out. If anything everyone expected a sweep. Perkins in an interview said this is Lebron's second greatest championship. I wan laugh die. . You mean against a Heat team that barely has 2 stars? . But well a championship is a championship, another rank to his batch. but it would blasphemous to call this one of the greatest championships. I mean every player was subjected to the same circumstances, probably unprecedented. i remember they asked Perkins on ESPN about how Lebron's legacy would be impacted if he lost the finals. The guy was trying to hedge his bets, so he said No, he's already above MJ. Now he says he's just surpassed MJ by winning his 4th Championship. But well as someone said,his losing record has been adjusted. We can now call him (4-6) Lebron. .The guy don suffer for this 4th title no be small. .

Lol they are always undecided. However if you thought LeNomad was already the GOAT after 3 rings why should I think he's the GOAT even if he gets to 7 rings.

This man has never won a title without supernova talent and contributions from his HOF caliber teammates so what is his real edge over MJ?

Anyways my metrics for tagging MJ the GOAT goes beyond the 6 Finals MVP and 6-0 records

nairamaniac:
Meanwhile I'm the happiest man in the world right now that Lebron won this chip.

I was soooo sad when warriors were spoiling his finals-Win's to Loss count.


That warrior's team was a cheat-set-up.


I don't think even the bulls with Jordan would have beating 3 very good scorers in curry, Durant and klay. [url][/url]

Then considering they also had top3 best defensive players in Draymond&Iggy within a space of 5years.

Adding to the genius of Steve Kerr who mixed up both the genius of Pop&Phil Jackson.

Steve Kerr was to Warriors what Pep Guadiola was to Barcelona.

They defined an era.


Congrats to Lebron and the Lakers, especially for the fact they won same year they lost Kobe and his daughter.

They would both be joyful In heaven.

So was the Heat team in 2010. That team opened the eyes of others to this concept of creating the best possible situation and stacking the deck so high it was impossible to lose.

I would not count the GOAT out. Even that Warriors team was far from unbeatable. Chris Paul got hurt Game 5 with the Rockets up by 3-2. Nobody can prove to me the Rockets don't win that series if CP3 was healthy

Kobe is the only reason I'd be happy the Lakers won but the Kobe I knew would want me to keep that same energy so it's Bleep the Lakers still

WeissVonner:
What do you constitute as enough credit? They're being hailed as a dynamic duo, what more do you want? did you want him to get finals MVP? LOL

Keep clinging to that Dallas series. Like I said, the fate of your goat is inevitable, death by a thousand cuts.

Dynamic duo? Are you seeing the tweets and the comments? Nobody is talking about AD. As far as the narrative goes he's a passenger. Though he brought it on himself by not dominating like he should have in these Finals

I don't need to cling. It literally happened, my GOAT, the GOAT never got outscored by two of his teammates in a Finals series, he never scored in single digits. The only time my GOAT ever lost it was because he had insufficient help.

Roland17:
Jerry Jones is a business man to the core, you can see the way he micromanages his team and how he expects his team to respond to social justice issues. Jerry and his camp are the winners in this situation, don't let them decieve you with their sympathy. Cam was already established but Dak made a big error by not taking the offer, I mean it was not like it was an insulting offer for a player of his caliber. The self life of NFL players is getting shorter by the season, he should know better!

Dak was very naïve to keep on playing without taking a
long deal of some sort. Even Leveon Bell sat out a year because he knew if he played the chances of him getting hurt are very high, we saw the same with Earl Thomas

If Andy Dalton plays well enough to lead the Cowboys into the playoffs why should Jerry Jones bother giving Dak what he wants? Any sympathy they do now would just be for optics. It will not even be a smart business move to then pay a guy coming off a gruesome injury like that

WeissVonner:
LOL AD has gotten a lot of credit, stop trying to cause mischief. Nobody in the history of basketball will be the best player on a team with LeBron James. Alpha or not, AD is a champion.

Very soon he along with Giannis will be carrying LeBron to four more championships. You'll be crying for a very long time A40.

Not nearly enough. Especially for his defensive work.

The real GOAT would have led the Heat past Dallas and not allowed himself get outplayed by Dwyane Wade. MJ never folded in any playoff series. He would be the best player in every team including a team with LeNomad on it

By now it's very clear what LeNomad's legacy is. Team up with his draft mates in his early years (Wade, Bosh) leave to team up with younger players (Kyrie,Love) and a motley crew of role players, then team up with even younger players in his latter years (AD) this man is literally a basketball Touareg extending his championship window in the most cunning and smart way possible (I give him that)

Roland17:
Don't mind them..We know what happened when he tried to do with last year..Opelope AD joined them..They want us to forget he stacked his Heat and Lakers team but will hold a grudge with the slimreaper for winning a title with the Warriors. I never get their time. Let them enjoy their ring for a bit..

AD and Rondo got a ring and that matters to me..

Lmaooooooo. Let them allow us rest with their Disney ring

Nobody is even talking about AD and his 25pts and 10 rebounds contribution. If he likes let him not acquire that alpha mentality. It would be on his CV that he was carried. At least with KD we know he was the best player on the team and when he got hurt they couldn't beat Toronto

Roland17:
The NFL is a brutal league and yes he was offered $35M but his camp kept pushing for more because according to them he deserved more and now he is with nothing. A lot will depend on how he recovers. This season is already gone, so we talking about 2021 or even 2022 season and by then he will be 28/29 years old..make what you want out of that but it doesn't look promising. It will be interesting to see what Jerry Jones does and how Andy Dalton performs while Dak is out. I wish he took the money, his future would have been secured. The shelf life of NFL players is getting shorter.

I can understand his grouse. The Cowboys are partly to blame because they could have extended Dak when the likes of Wentz, Goff got extended I'm sure that is also what played on his mind. Considering their rookie deals were way higher than his

Dak on his part overplayed his hands as well. I heard he's making a boatload of money off the field just by virtue of being a QB of 'America's team' he should have put that into consideration and taken a little less to secure his future. He bet on himself last year but assuming he was going to succeed at that strategy two years in a row was a very unnecessary risk.

I hope he doesn't get treated like Cam who struggled to get a team. If Andy Dalton goes on to make the playoffs, which he can in that weak ass division what incentive does Jerry Jones have to not let him walk and bolster that rubbish defense they have

DeeMain:
A40 and his Houdini acts

A40 please appear, we are going to take it easy on you

Afromentalist:
A40, God has a message for you about Lebron

You lot are really dancing in my mentions because LeNomad and his stacked team beat an undermanned Heat team with players that literally were playing in college in 2018.

FBS:
You have not pointed to any facts.
But below is an interesting fact for you.
Schumi 91 wins, LH 91 wins.
Argue with your keyboard bro.

When you have the fastest car for the last 7 years. He should have broken it sooner sef

Roland17:
Thoughts and prayers are with D. Prescot.. What a devastating injury.. Worse off, he is without a contract after this season!!!

Really sucks. I heard they offered him $35m but he was pushing for $40m if true I don't think he played his cards well because he's not a $40m QB but I hope it all works out good for him in the end. He's a high character player that gives everything on the field

DeeMain:
Smh. Just speechless.

Did you catch her using steroids mate? Show some respect to the dead please

Amoto94:
You are wrong to assume that it was a one-sided protests and demonstrations as the calls were made across the divide, an aide to Gov. Ganduje has allegedly been relieved of his duty by his boss for his unsavoury remarks against the President, also the likes of Gimba Kakanda, Kadaria Ahmed, Bello el-Rufai, Ahmed Musa, Shehu Sanni, Bulama Bukarti, among others joined in the online protests.
I personally don't subscribe to the idea of protests and demonstrations but others joined in the protests

One of the most vocal fighters was Aisha Yesufu as well. A Northerner. We need to unite and keep finding common ground. Southerners or Northerners the majority are suffering and Nigeria is not working for them.

WeissVonner:
Steph played with a knee injury? first i'm hearing of it. And do you not blame LeBron for losing without both Kyrie and Love in 2015? That was a hobbled reflection of the Lakers and you know it. Credit to him, that was still the best team he beat.

He had a sprained MCL do your research. Anyway don't worry about who I blame or who I don't blame, all I know is once you hit the court you're good enough to play.

If you can play 41 minutes per game in 4 of 5 games then you're clearly not hobbled enough.

Hobbled is the Miami Heat right now vs LeNomad

WeissVonner:
I think its worth pointing out that that Spurs team was coached by arguably the greatest coach of all time.

Unless Popovich has started playing basketball. Immaterial

WeissVonner:
At least he had a competent front office that showed some promise.

Good, I have never blamed any player for going to another team to compete against another established team.

What would you have had the Cavs realistically do? Who were the marquee free agents running to Cleveland?

Who you choose to blame or commend on whatever grounds is not my business really

WeissVonner:
Be honest, what would you have said if LeBron had joined the Celtics in 2010 after immediately losing to them?

I would have asked where did they get the cap space

WeissVonner:
Its not just Bron fans, everyone with a iota of sense can see how insipid KDs move was. Is anyone blaming him for creating a formidable team with Kyrie now? There are moves borne out of trying to compete, KDs move was just a proverbial cant beat them join them kind of move. Thats the epitome of weakness.

That is borne out of hypocrisy and double standards. My shit stinks less than yours mentality. Where was this energy for Ray Allen when he joined a team that already had Bron, Bosh and Wade? Why was there no outrage from you lot? How is it competing if you add him to an already stacked team.

So trying to add Kawhi to a team already with AD and LeNomad is "trying to compete" yeye dey smell

WeissVonner:
I'm happy for KD, One ring with the Nets will be more valuable than those two with the Warriors. Now we'll see what he's really made of.

Without Kawhi, as far back as January when you lot were still high on the Clippers, Bron came out and said he felt the Lakers had enough to win a championship. Kawhi is a luxury.

It's a no-brainer a ring with the Nets would enhance KD's legacy. I don't think any objective person was including LeNomad in the GOAT discussion till he won in Cleveland

WeissVonner:
Thats neither here no there. Has nothing to do with how top heavy the 90s was.


And both teams would arguably beat any team Jordan faced in the finals. If they are such horrible one seeds, how did they make the finals?

How are this year's Cavs, Knicks, Timberwolves any better than the bottom feeders of that era?

Isaiah Thomas Celtics and a rubbish Pistons team without Ben Wallace would beat Kevin Johnson and Barkley? Payton, Malone and the Lakers? What a joke

Your guy literally beat two .500 teams to get to a conference finals. The first decent team he faced he started shooting 38% from the field while averaging 6 turnovers per game

WeissVonner:
Posting one or two videos of Jordan facing zone doesn't change the fact that for the most part of the era he played in it was difficult for teams to pull it off consistently because it would be deemed illegal.

The argument was never about MJ guarding Magic but rather the fact that Magic torched him which you can't deny. It was also about proving how Pippen alleviated some of those duties which i proved.

There are several clips showing that MJ faced zone. We have coaches like George Karl literally admitting they played zone on MJ. Try another line. Zone is an overrated defense anyway

There you go lying again. You claimed MJ only focused on scoring and outsourced defending to Pippen only guarding little guys, then you claimed Magic torched Pippen, torching would imply he was shooting astronomically better than his average. Lo and behold the game you were referring to he literally took 5 shots

Then you claimed Phil Jackson switching Pippen made the difference but lo and behold in the pivotal Game 3 where Scottie fouled out early who guarded Magic? That would be MJ. Then you went ahead to contradict yourself by posting stats that literally showed MJ guarding Magic for 60% of his possessions which is unheard of for the #1 offensive option to do guarding the opposition's best player majority of the time

Unlimited22:
Yes. But this is a necessary first step. It means that we have a voice.

No radio station or TV station in Nigeria reported this thing, yet the whole world heard it. Guess who controls the media in Nigeria.

Imagine if they'd passed the social media bill.

This is just step 1. Police brutality is a culture but SARS enamores it to extremely excruciating levels. They need to go first

I don't know why people are deliberately not understanding this.

WeissVonner:
Next time I'm arguing about the WNBA GOAT I'll be sure to bring that up.

What does having a high vertical have to do with a sport where being able to jump gives you a supreme advantage? LOL Most of the players with a 40" vertical were all stars in the 90s, we have bench players with 40'' verticals now. I think the improved athleticism of NBA players is something even former players have noted.

Tim Duncan, Ginobili, Tony Parker were players that could barely jump over a kerb, we saw Jokic dismantling teams with zero leaping abilities

What does verticals have to do with fundamentals, footwork and ball handling and basketball IQ. If verticals was what it took then Aaron Gordon should be the best player in the league

WeissVonner:
He got injured in the WCF and ultimately had to sit out the close out game, Worthy being injured is always going to be a footnote.

Like I said, depending on how you want to define it, a case can be made for all those guys being the greatest scorer of all time.

Once you suit up and take the court you're healthy. That is my mantra. No excuses. No stories. Because you lot did not keep the same energy when Steph played with a knee injury the entire postseason of 2016. There is no footnote. MJ wiped them and James Worthy played in 3 of the 4 losses featuring in at least 31 minutes

WeissVonner:
And their coach, isn't a Hall of famer?

He's on the court?

WeissVonner:
He had a front office led by arguably the worst owner in basketball. The best player he played with in Cleveland was Mo Williams, an accidental all-star. If he had never left, he'd probably end up ringless. Regardless of how it played out, it was monumental for his legacy and in hindsight was inarguably the right move.

Whose fault is it that free agents were not falling over themselves to play in Cleveland? Dan Gilbert wheeled and dealed to get as much talent as he could bring to Cleveland. MJ met a team that was labeled the traveling cocaine circus and made the best out of it

I don't blame LeNomad for leaving. I'm indifferent. But it's hypocrisy of the highest order to police people's rights to do likewise

WeissVonner:
And in those two seasons Ray Allen was a spot up shooter no better than Kyle Korver. Bringing him up is akin to bringing up Gary Payton and Karl Malone on the Lakers.

Still a HOFer and saved the Heat's season. He actually averaged double figures in that series and your guy needed every point

WeissVonner:
I said create a competitive team to go at established teams not join established teams.

Hear me, hear me now, I will never respect what KD did in 2016. That was by far the biggest b-tch move in NBA history and no matter how muddied the waters posterity will judge him for that, history will always remember that. Its one thing to play the system, its another thing to cheat the system. We've had this conversation a million times, what LeBron did and what KD did are vastly different.

That is your personal problem. So long as Golden State actively recruited him then he has the right to join his best option for a ring after spending 9 years in Oklahoma. LeNomad ran away after 7 to join two other players in the middle of their basketball prime

We've had the conversation before and I say to you again who are you LeNomad fans to judge what KD did as worse? Both took shortcut to rings. Simple as that.

There are numerous players that never cheated the system. The likes of Dirk, Malone, Miller, Olajuwon never gained the system till they won rings and the others were not so lucky. So if LeBron did who are you to question KD's right to go one step further?

WeissVonner:
LeBron went back to Cleveland to end a drought bring a Championship to his hometown/franchise and fulfill his promise. Then he went to LA for business purposes and to cement his legacy. He embraced the pressure of wearing purple and gold knowing he will be a failure without a championship. He went there knowing how much he must do to win the fan base over, he's about to deliver.

Good for him. KD has gone to Brooklyn to do similar. We shall see how it turns out.

Running to LA in hopes of getting 2 of the best 7 players in the league is hardly a difficult task. A lot of player's legacies would be different if they bunny hopped round the league joining up with the best talent as frequently as LeNomad did. His career is like 2K

WeissVonner:
60 wins in the 90s and 60 wins now are vastly different, listen to what your man Rodman had to say and hes 100% right:

"This league is so filtered and watered down, we can beat anybody with our eyes closed, pretty much" [a look back on the NBAs late 90s 'expansion era''

I also picked up a few other quotes for you:

Charles Barkley and Larry Bird have expressed comparable sentiments about the way the league has thinned out; Bird even used the Jazz as an example, and people in the Jazz camp have a hard time disagreeing.

"You look at the overall picture, it is diluted to some extent," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, whose team is in Los Angeles preparing to meet the Lakers on Friday night. "You can get by with three great players on a team, and have a chance to win it all. Before, you had to have four or five great players, and some good players around them."

Yet Jerry Sloan did not win a ring, Barkley didn't either

LeNomad got to the Finals facing two of the worst #1 seeds in league history.

In MJ's first 3peat there were literally no sub 20 win teams so there wasn't a single team being used to pad stats unlike now that we have teams openly tanking.

WeissVonner:
What Boone worries about is talk of even more expansion. He says the NBA is already a league of guys who can run and jump but don't know how to play the game.

"What I'm concerned about is the lack of good shooters," he said. "Guys are more athletic now, but they're not fundamentally sound. How much more expansion can they do?"

in the '96-97 season , ten teams were able to roll off 50+ wins (including 69-win Chicago, 64-win Utah, 61-win Miami) . In the 2018-19 season, there were eight 50+ win teams (with 60-win Milwaukee as the league leader)

This was also a league where zone defense was illegal making it hard to double or trap a player. Like I said, clotheslining people is no substitute for real talent.

You don't want me flooding this page with YouTube clips of MJ facing the Zone like I did when you erroneously claimed MJ didn't guard Magic after Game 1 of the 91 Finals but you ended up by yourself proving MJ was his primary defender the entire series

WeissVonner:
Dude, can you stop with this inane argument? There's not a single expert on athletics who wouldn't agree that athletes today are generally faster stronger and more educated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_world_records_in_athletics

The vast majority of these records are from the 21st century. There are lot more players in the NBA with a 40" vertical than in the 90s. This isn't even really an argument.

You're the one dropping inane arguments. Even from the link you posted you can see that on the women side from the 100m to 1000m the record was set upwards of 25 years ago.

You can also see that all the long distance and field records for men (bar pole vault) and most of the field records for women were from 2 to 3 decades ago or more

What does having a higher vertical have to do with anything? Not that you have even proven this

DeeMain:
Sorry A40, Flo Jo should be scratched from that list. It screams steroid-induced!

Did you catch her using steroids? Why is her record still standing

She never ever failed a drug test even after being singled out for rigorous testing. You guys should stop disrespecting the dead with spurious allegations just to defend LeNomad and athletes of this era. Show some decency

Look at what is written and what will be different from SARS currently

Look at 2 and 3 They might just give them a new name and just say SARS is now called JTU just a change of name

This SARS style is unbearable and too frequent and rampant. Nobody is under any illusions as to things magically changing but this current SARS with their style of operation that is akin to kidnapping can't continue on this scale.

We have had lots of crazy institutions that went rogue but later they were able to reduce their problems to bearable levels

Everyone knows the Spurs had no clear cut best player. When they won in 2014, there were four legitimate candidates for FMVP.

Two of the best 4 players on the Spurs were 36+. They were an extremely old team that were able to dominate without being bigger, stronger, athletic and all that other adjectives and superlatives you lot bandy around

[quote author=WeissVonner post=94840492]LOL Nutrition is better, scouting is better, player development is better, theres a larger talent pool. The best players in literally every sport bar ice hockey are playing in this era. All the athletics records are from this era. Somehow you old heads want us to believe only basketball got worse or remained stagnant after three decades.

This is what recency bias makes you believe. Humans have not evolved that much over 30 years. Not in Sports anyway.

All the athletics records are from what? Who has broken Flo-Jo's record in both 100 and 200m?
Long jump, high jump, pole vault, shotput, javelin both men and women every single record has yet to be broken over 30 years later by the supposed better scouted, better developed and better nourished players of today.

Stop repeating this myth and Urban legend. There is nothing exceptional about this era
