So Nedved and Weah are not greater than David Villa, you are a fool.

You can't convincingly argue Nedved and Weah are greater than Villa though. David Villa was a boss

RexBarkridge:
LOL Lets not pretend as if he was some A-lister or someone with major clout. Nor is he a doctor/scientist, no one was going to take him seriously, why kill him if all that does is bring more attention to his work?

What does having to be an A-lister have to do with anything?

Is this the first time someone got clapped for saying or trying to say too much? There is evidence that he was concerned about his safety.

Why not? What good would he be alive to the folks that might want him dead? Whatever attention it brings at the very least a message has been passed

RexBarkridge:
Tupac was killed by orlando anderson (a pretty well known fact), the dude he beat up earlier who is a renowned crip enforcer and died a while later after getting into a shoot out. The crips still celebrate what orlando did to this day. Biggie was killed on Suge knights orders. People like to complicate things unnecessarily. The fact that anyone who cooperates with the cops is labelled a snitch and ostracized according to their code doesnt exactly help law enforcement do their job does it? Nipsey was a gang member who rolled with gang members and they got shot down because thats what happens to gang bangers period.

There is no conclusive proof that Orlando was the gunman. He was alive for a full 2 years after Pac died and he was never charged for anything

Again you're reaching. There is no proof Suge killed Biggie. And if he did the question then should be why was he a free man?

However way you spin it someone out there isn't doing their jobs. It's pretty common knowledge that one of the easiest ways to get away with a crime is to kill a black rapper.

He had been banging since his teenage years. How come it's when this documentary started that he felt the need to stress that his life was under any form of threat?

YulisCromwell:
As if he was the brain behind the documentary and it wont drop without him. Most times these entertainers just add their name to something to make it more appealing i guess but in truth they arent responsible for most of the content, i dont see how killing him will hinder the documentary its not like theres something only he knows about it. This isnt the first time documentaries with conspiracy theories have been made.

He was the face behind it. Let's not be pedantic! When you kill a face of a struggle does it mean a struggle ends?

Not equating Nipsey with MLK but the Civil Rights movement didn't end just because MLK got shot.

I'm not huge on conspiracy theories but those shots are not your typical drive-by shooting scenario.

YulisCromwell:
Another peeve i have about the african american community. Whenever something happens instead of looking within and trying to solve the problem they start coming up with conspiracy theories to blame the white man. I understand their history has made them insecure and granted sometimes its justified but the moment they start to realize the flaws of some aspects of their culture and take ownership of it and how to fix it the better for them. The people who knew him arent really surprised because like Roland said he was about that "life". Dr. Sebi that was a renowned snake oil salesman i mean these idiots actually believe he cured cancer and aids SMH! They also believed that said man who died of pneumonia at age 82 was killed by the government. Tupac was killed by the government, so was biggie, and Eazy e, the list goes on, its obviously not the gangster lifestyle of strutting guns around and shooting people. I mean give me a friggin break!

I agree with most of what you said above as there is not a lot I hate more than people not taking responsibility for their own fate.

However let's not act like there has not been a long history of law enforcement not turning a blind eye to the things that go down in these neighborhoods. Does it make sense to you that 2pac and Biggie's killers have not been found till this day? Pac was shot in a Vegas strip. Do you know how many people are at a Vegas strip after a Tyson fight?

Anyway let's see what comes out of this latest murder. From what I've read on Nipsey while he might have belonged to a set he was very far from a gun toting, set tripping banger. Dude had businesses and was putting in good work in his community.

FBS:
Good luck and he was at the right place at the right time. Did what he had to do to overtake uncle Vettel.


Lerlerc though, unlucky but we have seen this happen even to Lewis, the same year that "ball-less" person won the title.


Happy for Lando too. Suddenly McLaren scoring points. Nice to see.

Formula 1 is BACK!

Ham has been the biggest beneficiary of these things. Let's not even have unnecessary arguments

steady986:
And his 2P% increased from 47% to 55%. He can't eat his cake and have it bro.

Duhh. He's taking more shots at the rim and more importantly converting at a higher clip. 47% of his 2P shots came from the rim compared to 40% last year.

So basically it took him taking more shots at the rim to increase his 2P% while his 3pt shooting has gotten worse. So how has he been better with LeNomad? Especially as a 3pt shooter

Roland17:
He is not staying back, it was already established since high school and recruiting that he is staying only one season. Zion, Barrett, and Reddish are one and done, they are off to the NBA.

Makes zero sense financially for Zion to stay in College tbh. Might as well maximize his money machine now that the hype is at an all-time high, especially in a system tailored for everyone else to make money from Zion except Zion himself.

Roland17:
RIP. He lived a rough life and had too many enemies.

I didn't listen to a lot of his music. Just a few old mixtapes but he was well respected. It's a lot of rumors flying around that he was on to exposing some people in an upcoming documentary. Can't say for sure but I find it hard to believe that murder was purely gang related based on what I know about how these things work. And where it happened

Guess only time will tell

ipledge10:
Am I crazy for thinking Okc are losing on purpose...maybe they are eyeing Nuggets, so they trying to stay 7th or 8th

They don't match up well with the Nuggets. They would get beat black and blue.

YulisCromwell:
Nipsey

Dude was just having a break out year on the mainstream level. This life is so meaningless it's crazy! Heard his kid was there too. Smh

aliondo:
How you mean bro?

Are you watching the game right now? See as una dey huff and puff against the Doncic-less Mavs

There is just something about OKC and playing down to the opposition

nihilistjnr:
Don't worry bro

Starboy dey for you.

Bahahahahaha. I no just know when you go get sense walahi

Later una go say Juju no dey. How will you explain this good luck wey just dey follow Hamilton. This is unreal

Roland17:
Let me be very very clear that I am totally against rape and other forms of abuse against anyone, however, I am very careful about taking sides or making any judgment regarding rape accusations until there is substantial information out there.

Ohhhh no no. When it comes to matters like these you won't catch me accusing or taking any sides without proof and or mere word of mouth accusations

Iworiwoooo

Killrhymz:
Porzingis has been accused of rape, like they say an idle hand is the devils workshop.

Ugggggh. And I heard the Mavs were made to be aware of this before the trade. Smh

steady986:
You know, in a group of people, there's always that one person who refuses to improve no matter what. That's Bullock

Ohhhh no bruh. You can't possibly eat your cake and have it. If LeNomad is taking the glory when a player plays well by God he must also take the fall when they flop. Since you're claiming professional basketball players need him to do their basic jobs and are incapable of doing it on their own

steady986:
Lol. I admire the way you never give up in an argument. Well, here it is...his FGA dropped from 10.8 last year to 8.3, so that's a significant drop. And if you consider the fact that his FG% improved from last year, you have to say he's much better this year.

It improved from 42.6 to 43.3. Lmaooooo some improvement.

Ohhhh and by the way KCP shot 38% from 3 last year. He's only shooting 35% this year. Since we're nitpicking stats like Beans

YulisCromwell:
You dont believe in the magic vs walton rumour but you believe in the lebron vs walton rumour. Hypocrisy!


You know a coach is bad when a GM admits they werent expecting to get lebron when they signed him. That was his first time coaching in the NBA, probably there to oil the tank machine.



Theres a difference between looking up to someone and doing something just plain stupid which is what relying on a sub par agent is. Self made or not, rich paul is good at his job.


But the damage had already been done, Ingram, lonzo and bron all played fewer than 60 games this season. That plus other unforeseeable factors. The lakers didnt make the playoffs because they arent good enough, they imploded.


I can think of a billion.


Small fry i said as at, meaning from the start of the season to February. I'm not sure much has changed since then. Read comprehensively, its part of your problem.


Hes shooting 30% for the season but with bron hes shooting 35%, thats an improvement on his overall average. You need math lessons? I can make a few recommendations for you.


What? you know its true.

Lmaooooo. Whatever makes you sleep better at night mate. Even LeNomad has been shut down for the year so this whole debate might as well follow suit.

My highlight for the year. What's yours bro?

steady986:
Just a reminder about the LeBron James effect. KCP went from 7 points without the king to scoring 25 points with him playing. LeBron James makes everyone better, PERIOD.

Lmaooo Reggie Bullock says Hi

Killrhymz:
Harden, CP3, Gordon and Capela have 88 of 91 points.
Other 4 players have played 70 mins and have 3 points.
Formula to beating Rockets is simple and they are most predictable team in NBA.

That team is the most top heavy in the league. It's unreal

I can't count how many times I've seen PJ Tucker play 40 mins and not score a point

steady986:
When you want to use statistics to describe a player, it's best you use it fully. All of KCP's career he's been a starter. He's averaging 10ppg this season because his minutes has greatly diminished, coming off the bench for 23 mins pg down from 33 mins pg last year. He averaged 13 ppg last year and the year before. Now, if you're a good mathematician, you'll know that 10ppg in 23 mins is an improvement on 13ppg in 33 mins.

How many shots is he taking per game? That's what you should be looking at not the minutes. Unless there is a sharp drop in the number of shots he is taking then your argument is not accurate. If he's playing 48 minutes and taking the same number of shots as he did in 23 mins then same ni

YulisCromwell:
Actually there have been rumours of magic wanting walton out long before lebron came. After Blatt got sacked the cavs won a chip and went to 3 straight finals. Try again small fry.

Ohh. You're a believer in rumours now? Magic has no personal beef with Luke. Stop it

Of course Blatt is to blame for Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving getting hurt.

YulisCromwell:
Whatever you want to call it, stop blaming lebron for pauls failings.

Like I said Paul cannot unclench his buttcheeks without LeNomad's blessings. Make of that what you will but don't make it sound like he was self-made

YulisCromwell:
If he was bad at his job not even lebrons influence will let players trust him with thier careers.

I might not be a fan of LeNomad but his influence is undeniable. He is really revered especially by His younger colleagues

YulisCromwell:
and they would be 5 games under if they were still six games under. Lberons injury left them worse off period.

Stop focusing on the irrelevant BS and focus on the fact that the Lakers had 31 games to get back in the playoffs. They were only 2 games behind.

It would have been better if he stayed injured. There is no excuse that can indemnify LeNomad for this disaster of a season

YulisCromwell:
As at february with lebron on the court

KCP: 39.8% on 7.2 attempts
Hart: 39.3% on 5.2 attempts
Kuzma: 34.5% on 6.4 attempts

Can you stop with the drivel now?

LMAO are you some type of comedian? We're talking an entire season you're bringing up a month?

Kuzma shot at 37% from 3 last season sans LeNomad and you're talking of February where he shot a poverty 34%.

YulisCromwell:
LOL Exactly, imagine me running for president then that short creep donlittle25 brings up all the messed up racist sh-t i've said on this forum and i get cancelled. No way jose canseco. Short people cant be trusted, bare facts.

#facepalm

steady986:
I'll remind you their record before his injury, 20-14.

What of their record when he returned?

YulisCromwell:
David blatt still hasnt found a job in the NBA, Mike Brown is an assistant coach, Luke Walton has been on the axe before lebron came because magic didnt hire him. These are the people you are using as examples

Poor chap he's probably scarred for life. Wrong job, wrong time and his career in the NBA dead before it began.

Is this Magic's first season?

Luke Walton was perfectly safe and there were no rumors about his coaching safety till LeCoach Killer showed up. Magic trying to get him sacked now is Magic's way of covering his own behind for the spectacular failure the Lakers have been

YulisCromwell:
LOL Then players like AD Wall Simmons etc wouldnt sign for him knowing that. He Effd up the lakers chemistry, a move im sure lebron would have preferred to remain quiet, so how exactly is he under lebrons spell? He owes him a lot but Rich paul takes care of his business and thats why hes a super agent now, lebron can only take you so far.

Lmaooo. It was a rookie move, the type amateur agents play when they don't recognize their hand. You can't be dropping such announcements with a full year and a half on your client's contract. Not recognizing where you have leverage and where you don't is not a sign of a great agent

I'm telling you all of Rich Paul's contacts he owes to LeNomad's influence. Without him who on earth is Rich Paul? How does he even get in the door

YulisCromwell:
Actually the NBA does and will fine him for missing games. I'm sure he doesnt care what you think.

He could sit for Load management or they concoct some other phony injury like the Pelicans are doing with Anthony Davis currently, the league will do zilch

YulisCromwell:
Fantastic or not it was a much better position than when he returned. If they were six games above 500 when he got back theyd still be in playoff contention now.

You're in La-la land. They were 2 games over .500 when he got back. They are 9 games under .500 now. That's the reality not your Alice in Wonderland example there

YulisCromwell:
How can you use his season stats when lebron didnt play for a good number of the total games and his averages in the game lebron played are higher

Tell us his averages! LeNomad has featured in 54 games. That is a 71percent appearance. Enough to make an informed argument. You also have to show how many assists was directly responsible for to KCP

YulisCromwell:
If it were just KCP Itd be vague but its same for kuzma hart javale etc too so its pretty friggin clear.

Will you kip chut!!!

Kuzma is arguably the worst volume 3pt shooter in the league as we speak. From 36% last season sans LeNomad to 30% with him. Can't even be arsed to talk about non-factors like Josh Hart

YulisCromwell:
LOL! What talk? why will i tell you barmy lot where im studying when i know theres a price on my head? who do you think i am? donlittle?

Lmaooooo man you stay capping. Price on who's head? Are you Buhari's first son? If I give you flying nodding like Agali

YulisCromwell:
Like you when you pick out a losing streak and assume thats how it will play out all season

That losing streak brought out the most definitive outcome. With the playoffs on the line the Lakers played their worst basketball. End of story

YulisCromwell:
But Griffin has never said anything bad about lebron and vice versa. Literally everyone in the know from players to gms have refuted this poppycock yet you sit in your beer parlour and create false narratives. There are many GMs in the league who dont get along with lebron, he may be powerful but hes not powerful stop making up stuff.

You're the one bringing out Griffin. Where did I say he had anything bad to say about LeNomad. I've named the people who had issues with LeNomad. I'd bet even Luke Walton would be cursing the day he signed for the Lakers

YulisCromwell:
Does that mean lebron runs klutch sports and is in charge of all their decisions? a 5 year old has a better thought process than these wild theories you're throwing about.

Later you would be chatting megedefegede about IQ. He's an active player so by the book he's not supposed to be actively running the agency. But if you think Rich Paul gets to unclench his buttcheeks without LeNomad's permission then you must be sniffing something fanger

YulisCromwell:
He literally just explained that part of the reason he plays is because the NBA has been on him about missing games. He misses games you lot complain that hes cheating fans who pay, he plays hes stat padding. WTF

Nobody cares why he's playing or why he's not playing. He can shut down for the year for all I care! I had the Lakers missing the playoffs anyway so I could care less what he puts up in meaningless games

YulisCromwell:
Why were they in that position in the first place? Him returning doesnt mean the team was the same as it was before he went down.

Nobody gives a shit! They were 2 games ahead of 10th seed before he got hurt. Don't sit there and act like they were in a fantastic position

If the Lakers were in the weaker East perhaps they are still in playoff contention

YulisCromwell:
This guy doesnt understand how double teaming creates opportunities for shooters and im the one chatting nonsense.


This dude brings out statistical outliers instead of averages to prove a point and im the one chatting nonsense. Do streaky or not do shooters have better opportunities playing with a doubled team player who can pass as well or not?

More nonsense.

Shooters like KCP are mostly boom or bust. It doesn't matter if you pair them with John Stockton or Magic. One day he's Klay Thompson the next game he goes full bricko mode.

What are KCP's averages? He is a career 11ppg guy scoring 10ppg this season at a 43% clip so what is playing for LeNomad doing to his career?

The outliers prove my point. KCP gets his numbers on a good night LeNomad or no LeNomad so stop attaching credit to LeNomad when he plays well. Simple

YulisCromwell:
How will we know? he didnt play the whole season with lebron.

Who are the great or even good shooters that have had a career year with LeNomad? What are you going to tell us next? LeBron invented fire?

YulisCromwell:
Actually all of the above. Life is really really good.

First class degree, three certifications in the past year, scheduled to go for masters at the best ranked university in the world in my field so you know... cant complain.

Bahahahahaha. From Houdegbe or which jeun jeun institution awarded you that grade? You that couldn't talk when they asked you where you were schooling.

Scheduled to where? Lmaooo ok. Talk is cheap though

YulisCromwell:
Seeing as these actions got him fired why would he resist the chance to blame it on bron knowing that might redeem him except if thats the truth?

Have you asked Paul Silas, David Blatt what they think about LeNomad?

Btw what does it profit a GM that hopes to work in the NBA some day to burn bridges with it's most powerful player

YulisCromwell:
LOL Lebron is player coach Gm and now super agent. You lot are too funny

What's your point? You think Rich Paul started Klutch Sports all by his lonely without LeNomad's backing? A black man without any basketball background or college education? I'd ask again are you 5?

YulisCromwell:
But thats their absolute record. You said lebron is stat padding but the lakers are on a 40+ win pace in the games he played, how is that stat padding?

Stat-padding before or after they had no playoffs hopes?

YulisCromwell:
Yeah they just came out and decided they didnt want to make the playoffs so they made injuries and created fake trade talks

Ohhhh please zip it with the excuses. They were the architects of their own misfortune.

LeNomad returned with the Lakers 2 games behind 8th seed with 31 games to go. Every other thing is redundant noise

YulisCromwell:
LOL your illiteracy reminds me of charlie from IASIP. I mentioned double teams and this guy is talking about john stockton

You dont understand statistics, there are averages and then their are outliers, on average how much did kcp average with lebron on the court and without lebron

eg the average iq in this thread might be below world average, doesnt mean there arent outliers like myself, capiche?

What does double teaming have to do with streaky shooters? Man you chat a lot of nonsense all the time! Who was getting double teamed when KCP hit 35.

KCP's numbers are not tied to LeNomad. It's not like he is having a career year so what is this I keep hearing about LeNomad?

My friend make we hear word! You and your bare IQ who has it helped? Have you helped yourself never mind others

YulisCromwell:
Theres no point arguing with you. This just proves you have no idea what you are saying or what happened to the lakers. You just love shitting on bron for the sake of it. Lonzo hasnt played since mid January.

Oh and i said their record with all 4 players playing not their record before lebron got injured Mr. Pseudo analyst.

It's quack analysts like you and other Bronsexuals that pull out and nitpick meaningless records that doesn't take into context the quality of opposition.

In an 82 game season you just pull out a small sample and assume all factors will remain constant. To propagate megedefegede like the Lakers were on a 50+ win pace. Nonsense

YulisCromwell:
LOL Imagine taking barkleys words seriously

Did gasol stop being capable after 2010

I'll give kobe credit for his two rings with his two FMVPS. Those first three were shaqs period.

The question is at what point was Gasol capable of carrying the team with Kobe on the downturn?

The only ring Shaq deserves sole credit for was the 2000 ring. If your teammate is averaging less than 2pts per game than he did in a series then you can't say he was carried so kill that nonsense

YulisCromwell:
Tell me just one team that lost their best player for a quarter of the season and are still part of playoff contention bar the warriors and pacers. Especially a team that was tipped for the playoffs not because of how good they are but on the merit of their best player. When rondo was aked why he believed theyd make the playoffs he said, "we have lebron". Ball went down just after lebron and ingrams shoulder wasnt 100, they both required surgery later on and are out for the remainder of the season. Rondo was out for a good spell too. No team suffered with injuries as much as the lakers. The lakers with lebron ingram kuzma and ball healthy were on pace for 50+ wins. Take that for record.

Lool who cares what Rondo said? What was he supposed to say? They won't make it

Anyway this same player had a chance to prove it when he came back with 31 games to go. With everyone healthy at the time including Lonzo, yet with less than half of that 31 games left they were already knocked out and waved the white flag which proves your faith and that of the players were terribly misplaced

Btw how can a team that had a 20-14 record be on pace for 50+ win? How did you come up with such abysmal Maths

YulisCromwell:
Lets not even forget Shaq was being double teamed triple teamed mangled harassed and hack a shaqed during this period. If padding your stats against wastemen was so easy everyone in the league would have done it. What stopped kobe from doing it

How many times was he able to do it without Kobe? Kobe achieved more success without Shaq. He led a team to three straight Finals with Gasol which shows he could win with any capable big man

Like Barkley said. If he had Kobe he would have won rings too
