Really weird trade. So PJ Tucker would be the Rockets starting Center. Lool I know he's big bodied but this ninja is like 6'5!

D'Antoni has really gone mad

Roland17:
The truth is, neither Embiid nor Simmons would have deferred leadership responsibilities to Butler. All 3 players have very strong personalities and ego problems so that would have been a very toxic situation. Miami is a perfect fit for Butler, his leadership/ voice in the locker room will never be threatened/ questioned. Remember he had the same problem in Chicago/Minnesota. He is by far the better player and would have brought more but at what expense especially if they don’t win a title?

I don't believe it's a must a team must have one sole leader. The issue is Ben Simmons and Embiid whether they like it or not are not as experienced as Butler. Talent doesn't make you a leader by default. They are still babies in this league

Minnesota had players that were not ready to take the next step and we are seeing it now. They are a borderline lottery team. Young teams no matter how talented always need an older head. This idea that everything will be kumbaya on the road to a title is not realistic

They stuck with a guy who wouldn't rock the boat but isn't providing much on or off the court.

Won't it be unfair to Michael Jordan?

Kobe is his lil bro. Besides the Jumpman logo is more popular than the NBA so it doesn't matter, besides this present logo is arcane tbvh

Though unjustifiable, the Sixers probably reasoned Harris was a better shooter and was more likely to fit in as the No3 Cog in a Championship contending team. Buckets is a no2 Guy. For all the Drama that He brings,i'd happily play second fiddle to a Guy He truly respects.

Butler is just the type of guy a borderline contender like Philly would have used to whip up seriousness into these young guys. He's a closer and after seeing what he's doing in Miami with his leadership I also admit I was one of those that erroneously kicked against the Sixers paying him.

Look at Minnesota, they are now on a 12 game losing streak and what looked like a decent team has gone to dust since he left.

Harris when he doesn't score is borderline useless as he can't defend or playmake

People are not nice. Someone just said Tobias has "Mamba Mentality" written on His sneakers then proceeds to drop 6 points. F#&#ing Bum!

The Sixers really chose him over Jimmy Butler. Smh

chic2pimp:
Nah that's not going happen. Mahomes is the NFL's new golden goose. No way they'll let Him share that Award.

Just being sarcastic. Mahomes threw two TDs and ran for another. Don't forget that bomb he threw to Tyreke Hill. The kid is just electrifying I think he will bring a lot of new fans to the sport

I expect Liverpool to burn out from next season and if they don't, I can derive satisfaction from knowing Apari won't be winning another league.
That's assuming he won't be going on another sabbatical when this season ends

It depends. Of course they might not dominate Europe but it's hard to look past them in England. I think they still have a 2-3 year window barring catastrophic injuries.

Allison - 28
Mané - 28
Salah - 28
Firmino - 29
VVD - 29
TAA - 22
Wijnaldum - 30
Chamberlain - 28
Robertson - 26
Origi
Keita
Henderson - 30

No core player on the wrong side of 30. Can see them winning another league title at the very least

Sterling is such a shameless diver though. He had no business not getting sent off yesterday. Makes Pep's critique of Mané all the more hypocritical as the worst diver in the league is on his team

What do you mean? Lemar is better than Mbappe my fren

I dey vex say I take am serious sef. Obviously na awada he dey do

City will lose. That Madrid team has been compact and very good.

They even have a better defensive record than Loserpool.

Lool that Madrid no too spectacular like that. Is it not the same Madrid PSG wiped the floor with? I won't definitively tag them favorites vs City, the likes of Atletico and some of their competition cannot buy a goal right now.

That reminds me where is your guy Kagawa 10 and what does he have to say about his guy Thomas Lemar, the biggest flop in La Liga history?

rationalmind:
Are you sure about this? This was what we were told after the match

Lool I can only speak for myself. That comeback vs Barca is what has created this Liverpool problem we are seeing so. Barcelona had one job

City should focus on a resurgent Madrid in the CL. The title race was over after that 3-1 loss at Anfield

And to those quack analysts that were comparing Garropolo (Max Kellerman #1 culprit) to Tom Brady. And laughably insinuating Garropolo could have pulled off what Brady did, hopefully they can zip it shut now.

Last year Brady beat this man twice. At 41

I think they could divide the MVP into two. However I can understand why they gave Mahomes. The truth is with that guy under center you just don't believe you're out. You know it and the other team knows it.

He can play rubbish all game and yet you know he only needs 1 quarter.

donlittle25:
someone said it in the comment about him being a nerd, and I think that about sums it up. I have always looked at him as a smart guy.

I wonder what he would have done if he didn't play basketball. Man, I miss that guy. This is about the first video I am watching.

I miss miss him.

And well spoken. This guy learned Slovenian so he could talk to Sasha Vujacic. I recall the game Luka heard someone trash talk in Slovenian only for him to look back and saw Kobe

Roland17:
Look at City players shamelessly diving around like it’s a swimming competition!

If I see that hypocrite Pep slander Mané again. Won't remove the log in his own eyes

"I said, 'Yo, I'm on to you. ... You want people to think you're a jerk, but you're one of the nicest guys in the world ...'"

Lou Williams really nails it here. Behind all the fire and intensity this was who Kobe was and became.

Kobe trolling Sasha Vujacic

afrodoc2:
I have been avoiding ESPN and US Sports TV as much as i can (very difficult in Super Bowl week). Turned on the TV to watch Madrid derby and they were mourning Kobe there as well. I just put off the TV.

Ironically I have moved to acceptance stage now and I watch the old clips of his life and times and feel somewhat better

These people don't know how hard these guys work at their craft. Lmaoooo just imagine

donlittle25:
i will be laughing, working, joking, doing something and I will randomly remember that Kobe is no more. It happens like every 30 minutes bro. I have been distraught.

You go on Wikipedia and see the Bio. "Kobe was an" and then the kids that died with him. Knowing his daughter was also there makes it so difficult to stomach

Kpon Kpon defender. Shame to bad people

You like trouble pass fight

Abi

I don't even want to imagine how Vanessa and the kids would be feeling if me with no real ties is feeling like this 5 days later

"Kpon Kpon defender"

Lol the Wizards are the worst defense in NBA history. Can't even put too much stock in that 50 piece

Victor Oladipo returns tonight

Happy Belated A40. I know say Kobe nah your Personal Person don't take to heart Bro.

It's all good man. Death is part of life. These past few days have taught me it could be anybody, any minute and any time. Old, middle aged or teenager

Godx:
It has passed 2 million signatures already. From Jerry West to kobe

Cc A40.

Why not? Jerry's silhouette has done it's time

Godx:
Woah of course I know you will downplay and ridicule Benitez and Simeone achievement. That's the only card you can play. Suddenly you are asking for Simeone champions league title lol. This argument is has silly has spillo1 saying maradonna achievement at Napoli Trump's Messi achievement at Barca on our thread.

Where is the downplaying? I asked simple question.

Where is Benitez's league title in the last 16 years?

Where is Simeone's CL title?

As the philosopher Davido once asked. "What is my crime?"

pkasso:
You are welcome. Interestingly, you are birthday mates with the one and only Arjen Robben. Nice company, if you ask me.
