Nostradamus:
Please I have one question about two excellent shooting guards,who's better between both cj mccollum and Victor oladipo?who is the better player?who will you choose to be in your team?

Go and watch Game 7 of the Blazers vs Nuggets series. Therein lies your answer

Roland17:
Zion looks leaner with better conditioning. Big kudos to the kid for working very hard during the off-season.

So long as he can shed that weight he will be a monster. Maybe not the first year but moving forward. He has high basketball IQ

Of which this De Ligt is looking like a scam.

raumdeuter:
Muller is not playing and his role is basically a sub. This is the time to find a regular playing gig. His career is winding to an end and he needs to play somewhere

No one is indispensable at this point. If Müller genuinely thinks he is still starting XI material then we shouldn't stand in his way. Let him go to a club that can afford to give him starter minutes

Gnabry on target again today.

What's this rumor I'm hearing about Müller wanting to leave

yomi96:
but when they do it for trump, it is ok abi. Oga he was only making use of his rights of freedom of speech. If they(china) dont like it, to hell with them. I am happy the commissioner choose principles over profits

The same NBA that wanted to take away All-star game from Charlotte because of ordinary bathroom law is chooking mouth in another country's issue. Abeggi

Salute to the Fußball gott and one of the best midfielders of his generation.

Bastian Schweinsteiger. Thanks for the memories

Would be surprised if the Rockets owner don't sack him. Anyway I'm just tired of the double standards of the left leaning NBA these days. Their hypocrisy dey turn my belle

Roland17:
You make a terrific point about Russel. Russel Wilson’s successful career which culminated in winning a SuperBowl opened doors for black QB’s in the modern era. His role in this narrative is under rated and rarely spoken about in my opinion. He changed the perspective about color and that position. The QB used to be exclusively for Whites even when they were horrible. Today we have C. Newton, D. Watson, P. Mahomes, D. Prescott, J. Winston, J. Brissett, L. Jackson, K. Murray and they are all starting QB’s in the NFL. This is unprecedented and atoms can be traced to the success of Wilson.

We have had quite a few black QBs in the past. I won't necessarily say he solely opened the doors but that the black QBs simply got much much better and more skilled as passers.

Guys like Kordell Stewart, Cunningham, Culpepper were starting QBs that came around before Vick but neither of them were prolific pocket passers and never got the respect the white QBs got because of their passing deficiencies. The only black QBs that got any real credit were guys like McNair who was MVP once and Donovan McNabb.

Though we also had some spectacular black QB flops (Jamarcus Russell) who didn't just lack talent but the work ethic as well that strongly hurt how black QBs were perceived. And then Mike Vick lol

I will not put this revolution solely on Russell but he definitely played an important role especially due to his squeaky clean persona and abilities too

birdman:
we are saying the same thing. he is a top qb,. maybe its because there are few quality qbs. maybe hes really that good. he will get paid a lot. a lot

I still think he is fortunate to be playing behind the best O-Line and a top 3 running back in the league. He's a good QB but definitely not top. Not Mahomes, Russell and honestly not Deshaun Watson level.

He will get paid because it's a QB's league. No one is disputing that

Adiwana:
A lot of clowns want to talk shiit about Guardiola but forgot how much Klopp spent to win the champions league which he was generously gifted by Barcelona.If not for Valverde,Klopp wouldve had an empty cabinet despite heavily spending on players

What does Valverde have to do with anything? You're doing the same thing you're accusing the anti Pep crowd of doing. Klopp turned a Liverpool team that were nonentities for almost a decade in England and Europe to a force within 3 seasons and has not spent nearly as much as Pep so pump your brakes. I no wan talk since but let's be guided.

If we bring out Liverpool's net spend and compare to City's you go begin to kalolo. You can defend Pep without bringing Klopp inside this matter

I dey suspect say Ibime get beef with M.I

I strongly agree with wetin him talk sha. Vector must have thought this thing would purely start and end on wax. He no factor other things. Plus na him start the beef so if he doesn't come with something harder than an Ngannou uppercut then he is more or less finished as a rapper

Adiwana:
His inability to replicate Barça's success doesn't still mean he failed. It's just like saying because you had a 95 maths and upon rewriting the exam you had an 80 that you failed

Cc:A40 come explain fraudiola's failure at Bayerm

Lol you and Airmark should leave me in peace biko. I don't have energy for this Pep banter

Namaste

Roland17:
Back to back games where he has faced quality defenses he has faltered, albeit I must say he did better against the Saints in comparison to the trash he played yesterday. The man is betting against himself for his quid and Jones himself is a gambler/ risktaker but it is a big risk and I hope he gets paid. There was something SAS said this morning that is quite interesting that no one seems to be asking and that is "How much was the guaranteed sum the Cowboys offered Dak that he rejected?" He looked terrible throwing the ball yesterday and for the sake of his quid, I hope he does not repeat such performance.

How about D. Watson? That man is legit!!!!!! Watching him gives me so much joy!!! The kid threw for 5 TD's and over 400 yards!!! I rate him higher than P. Mahomes and this is not a slight on Mahomes because I also rate Mahomes but D. Watson can kill you in so many ways.

Dak is a game manager and like Max said that term is not a crime. He will be making an egregious mistake trying to pull off passing stunts and trying to do beyond his level just to look good. I remember people were shouting when he was blowing out the Redskins, Dolphins and Giants and I warned them to wait till they faced decent squads.

I guess it's an ego thing and I would be a terrible agent if I represented Dak and took less than what the Rams and Eagles gave Wentz and Goff. Remember he's also been woefully underpaid his first 3 years. However he needs to strike a balance, he's making good money off the field just by being the Cowboys QB


I don't know if Deshaun is quite Mahomes level. Mahomes is the most naturally gifted QB I've ever seen. I do think Watson is already a top tier QB though and might be even better with a half decent O-LINE (he holds on to the ball a little too long at times) but he's definitely the 3rd best black QB after Mahomes and Russell Wilson

birdman:
you cant use this game alone as a way to judge his skills. Remember, Aaron Rogers had similar "struggles" last season - but simple things like O-line and offensive schemes can make a very good QB look ordinary. Dak is good, max contract good, and he will get paid wether its Dalls or elsewhere

Guy make we leave that story. If you said the QB market is what it is then that is a much better argument but don't tell me Dak is a max contract guy. I no buy that one at all

The reason why Dak will get paid is really due to the inflated QB market and the genuine scarcity of quality QBs in today's league.

While I think Aaron Rodgers is overhyped if you give him Ezekiel Elliott and Amari Cooper he would do much much better than Dak is doing now.

If anyone is being held back by O-LINE struggles it should be someone like Deshaun Watson not dink and dunk Dak

Roland17:
The Cowboys had no answer for my boy A. Jones who recorded 4 touchdowns while the Smiths wrecked disaster on D. Prescott and the Cowboys O line.

Dak really bought into his own hype. I don't know if Jerry Jones still wants to pay him after seeing him against decent QBs

Unlimited22:
A40, do you remember when Diadem10 was telling you that Rashford was better than Mbappe?

Lmaooooooo naaa Diadem's guy is Thomas Lemar. That one that will soon retire and join his brother Kendrick in the rap game

A40:
I'd love Izzy to take on Romero though. He at least has more bodies on his résumé. Only problem is these Cubans are notorious juicers. I fear him more than the others

Whittaker is a pure striker and so for me the most straightforward opponent for Izzy. It would basically come down to who's the quicker to draw and who has the sturdier chin. I also don't think Whittaker has fought a guy as unpredictable and can improv quite like Izzy.

Hmmmmm

Its not underrating him its just the truth you lot dont want to accept. But I'll do my talking at the appropriate time. Gastellum is short and stocky and almost (should have) finished your man after he hurt him and instead continuing to strike he went for a take down. Whittaker is bigger and generally has a better fight IQ than Gastellum. Plus Yoel beats izzy, easy. I was split on the fight before but i obviously knew unlike you, gastellum was never going to be KO'd hes never been ko'd in the ufc and his short stocky neck wont allow that easily. Honestly, gastellum is more of a welterweight than a middleweight. IMO this fight demystified him more than added to his talk but i'll leave at that. dont want it to sound as if im hating so i guess we'll wait until the reaper gets back.

Ati lo ati de

Hes nigerian and i'm happy hes doing well but to think hes going to beat whittaker who survived 50 minutes with Yoel Friggin Romero LMAO!
As !

Where is this clown?

Wow

Really proud of Izzy. Niggas swore he would lose but I'm happy he backed up his talk. Who's idea was it to have Paulo Costa sit next to Izzy's parents

Haters really underestimate this boy's heart and fight skills. There's some Jon Jones in him (sans the picograms)

Heywhizzy:
That's just an illusion, of course M is matured enough to not drag positions with Jagz, I love jagz but M is better to me

But really Ibime raised a valid point. Even him brother Jagz no really blow. All the lackeys around am, Loose, AQ and co no blow either. It's a case of physician heal thyself. If Vector fit cool down no drop those him occasional watery lines and actually does something polished he can easily clap back at M.I

elrony:
Jude never denied the bolded tho.

Fair enough

elrony:
That was a classy clapback, I was thinking he'd never respond. Nigga is too big for Vector IMHO, he doesn't need rushing to the studio to do a diss track cos someone did same.

Time no dey again, he's got multiple bidness to run

Of course M.I's response was dope. Even Vector cannot deny M.I hit him pretty badly.

This nigga is too big menenemenene is what I don't like hearing. There is no such thing

I'm just glad he didn't keep us waiting for 8 days in vain. Even Damian Lillard a basketball player replied a diss to him within 24 hours and I don't think M.I is busier than a professional basketballer in the NBA

Griffon:
Already answered, he isn't in Barça neither is he playing with an in-form Bale, Benzema, Modric et al.

These excuses are too much for one person. If Mo Salah waited for Bale, Benzema, Modric and Xavi he won't be at this level today

Griffon:
The English premier league isn't a ground where wingers easily post double figures while hanging wide. You have to be in an ultra-attacking side to hit good numbers every season.

Despite his pace, unwavering lack of fear and the goal threat he carried, it took Cristiano Ronaldo five years to record his first and only hat-trick for manyoo, and it was even against Newcastle phucking Utd. From a tactical standpoint, it is nearly difficult for a wide man to be registering double figures of goals and assists, or to consistently record hat-tricks in England. Teams in this country are set-up to stay compact, you're cutting inside, someone is already there to dispose you. This is no FARMERS league.

Then you also have important factors like¡ Mourinho's and Conte's conservative style of play and a poor supporting cast. These in many ways hampered Hazard's returns.

There's no way a pot-bellied A40 won't hit 40 goals in a FARMERS' league as the La Liga if he lines-up in the same team with Neymar, Suarez and Iniesta or another that consists of Kroos, Modric, Bale and Benzema, no way.

Cristiano GOATnaldo left United at 24. How can you even use this as an excuse for Hidden?

Griffon:
Leave open play for this matter, 30 goals is a hit for any player in his debut season.

If Hazard does 20 goals from open play sef na hit never mind 30. I no wan kill Hazard I no go raise am pass him level

Kamaru vs Colby Covington

All the fights we want to see. I was afraid these guys would fumble this bag with their bickering

I hope Stylebender doesn't lose sha. These streets no like Izzy at all and so many people want to see him take the L today. Let's hope he hasn't written a cheque with his mouth that he can't cash

Heywhizzy:
same M that says he's wiling and able to splash 20m to float his label, money is out of it

Lool dem sell you that kin Lamba and you sef believe?

Ibime:
He can easily claim that's Choc City boss car and MI is living fake life, then point to the crib MI is renting. Besides what MI flaunted is 2013 and 2011 version of those cars. He can even say your own blood brother Jesse is struggling out here and you're a wicked man.

Lmaooooooo low-key I dey always wonder why you and Krayola no take music seriously.

This kin material for dey very useful to Vector. Too bad him no dey Nairaland.
