In the period that was supposedly kobes era, he won 1 mvp and two rings as the best player on his team. Never was heads and shoulders above everyone in the league like these guys were. I hate to sh-t on peoples nostalgia, kobe is undoubtedly a top ten all time great but can we stop with the revisionist history please?
You lot swear LeNomad is the best player in the league but he's not won a regular season MVP since 2014. Using your logic his era ended in 2014

For context, between 2017 and 2019 James Harden could easily have been a 3 time MVP. This does not mean he holds a candle to Kobe.

If that was the case he wouldn't run out of superlatives for the warriors players.

Kobe was the best player in the league a few years, most popular in the world for a lot more. But saying kobe had an era is akin to saying shaq had an era or curry has an era.
How does a player that went to 7 NBA Finals and was a top 5 playoff performer from 2000 to 2010. How can you claim said player didn't have an era?

Nick wright is just like most of all the pundits, sometimes they get it right but most times they get it wrong. They are paid primarily for ratings.
PS: If I remember well he was one of the first person's to join the Pat Mahomes bandwagon and in that case he was right.
Lmaooo cos he was a Homer not because he possessed any elite knowledge. He's a Chiefs fan! Nobody who knows the NFL didn't know Mahomes was going to be a bonafide stud. He was the second QB picked in his draft and even Alex Smith knew he was just marking time. Go and look up his duels with Baker Mayfield in their college days. Mahomes was an open secret

My major problem with Nick Wright is his bias for players and teams always leads to him dropping asinine takes ad nauseum. There is no middle line with him. Besides any mugu can visit any stats collation resource and spew any agenda they like. For an analyst to open mouth and say Kobe never had an era. That should tell you he is a permanent joke

Nick Wright is that guy that binge watched Grey's Anatomy and suddenly thinks he is a medical consultant

People like to piss on Nick Wright because he demystifies their childhood god. Thats fine, but take that perception of him being a lebron stan off the table the man is one of the best NBA analysts period. He trades in facts and numbers to back them up, you cant go wrong with that.
You mean the same clown that called Nikola Jokic a pretend superstar. He knows zilch!

Shannon Sharpe is an unrepentant LeNomad stan as well but he's one of my favorite analysts. His takes are mostly objective and is not a wannabe stat nerd like Nick Wright who would actively argue with actual experts in their field of expertise because he is privy to a few numbers

Why are y'all taking panadol for someone else's headache? It's like we haven't still understood the kind of man Lebron is, even after 16 years. We are going through a phase right now. Lebron knows it, the players know it, who ever is going to join knows it. Because Ty rejected them for offering him 3 years, now hell has been let loose? Just relax and stop letting the media fool you. By October, we are going to have a new coach and at least one more superstar. We are the Lakers, remember.
What is this one even saying??

The entire Lakers organization is totally dysfunctional and in shambles at this point. I don't know how this franchise will convince another superstar to join the Lakers going forward. At this stage, there is no head coach, no president of basketball operations, no idea what they are doing with trades that are inevitable?
Lol I don't know what has to happen for the Lakers to realize that players are no longer falling over themselves to play for the Lakers.

The idea that they are this dream Free Agent destination is a strong form of delusion. LeNomad joining them kinda reinforced this delusion and in a way I kinda feel bad for LeNomad, he must be low-key regretting why he didn't just go to the Clippers with Steve Ballmer and his bottomless pockets

What of the Warriors win? If they were hoping for an injury to a player for them to win, then I'm sorry for them. Funny enough, even if they beat the Warriors, the finals is going to be a crazy one for them especially if they face the Bucks.
I'm just saying that for all their tough talking I don't believe that deep down in their heart of hearts they believe they can beat the Warriors without something extraordinary going in their favor especially without home court. I personally think not winning Game 5 could bite them in the behind.

The pressure is on Houston now.

So KD officially out for the series at the same point CP3 was last year. The basketball gods do have a great sense of humor, considering the beneficiaries then are the victims now

For all the Rockets braggadocio I'm pretty sure this injury or some kind of break more than anything else was what they were hoping for

I was literally just watching this video. But seriously, i know i've called him annoying because of his mouth before but you are just straight out killing this dude. What did he do to you?
How?? I just came across a hilarious article that chronicles his love for falling and even posited a plausible explanation for it echoing what the writer wrote.

I have nothing against Embiid, he's a bit of a loudmouth who talks a good one and fluctuates from annoying to a bit of a nuisance but his antics make him very easy to target.

Look at what he did in the Nets series, then Game 3 vs the Raptors when he was celebrating every single field goal he made only for Games 4 and 5 for him to look like a White Walker.

Lool this makes a boatload of sense now that you think about it. I don't recall a big man ever making it such a habit of taking falls. He will go down in history as the most floppy big man of all time but appaz a lot of it is deliberate cos of the knees

The block on him by the Greek Freak where he almost got paralyzed and then the game where he nearly took off Regina King's Head stands out for me

I feel like the celtics expended so much negative emotional energyduring the season, they really dont have enough energy to muster a fight.

I know yall want to call Kyrie out, and yeah, I agree he deserves major blame. But what of all your role players that spent all season yapping about how they didnt need Kyrie to reach ECF?

I think your team is young, and they bought into thr media circus of evil guys like SAS and Jalen Rose. This is a terrible way for a team with so much promise to go out!
Like Shaq always said Phil Jackson used to tell him "Beware of the switch, cos when you turn it on it might not work" the truth is the Celtics showed us who they are all season long and we refused to believe them

I think Kyrie must shoulder majority of the blame. He wanted to be the #1 guy, the leader and he failed woefully. He was 6/21 last night and has arguably been worse than Westbrick. He didn't make shots, he didn't get his teammates involved, just kept jacking shot after ill-advised shot!

I won't hold Kyrie responsible for the terrible play of Tatum and Hayward though but since the competition and quality of teams in the East have improved it would have been a bit naïve to believe the Celtics without Kyrie would have made the Finals this year. This is however not a case of Kyrie playing well and the role players holding him down. He shot 25/83 in the series!!

4 guys on Milwaukee shot better than that from 3pt range

Its the opposite really, I feel like if he signs with the Lakers that's what everyone will say so thats probably not going to happen.
Kyrie does not strike me as someone that cares about public opinion

KarnThornheart:
People really forget cousins was in the MVP conversation before he went down. He's not a point centre but he too was racking up triple doubles. Unfortunately the twin towers didn't make the playoffs together but boogie would have taken a lot of scalps that year too. That version of cousins was a monster.
But he went down as early as January, Jokic and the Nuggets were down 2 of their starters. And they still finished with the second seed

Boogie put up numbers but it could be argued New Orleans played better after he got hurt

Kyrie Irving is a walking brick machine! He is running to LeNomad's arms for sure because he clearly isn't about this leading a team life

Very few elite centers in the league these days but i guess i can agree with this. Pre injury boogie was better than jokic though.
I'd take Jokic over any Center in the league right now. As far as this season is concerned. I think it tops anything Boogie has done so far

The only reason people are sleeping on the joker is that he is unconventional, a true point-center has never existed before in the NBA.
People are always hung up on athleticism. Power, muscle. Dem forget say ogbon ju agbara lo. This is why I ranked Jokic higher than Embiid as the league's best Center and niggas were arguing with me on other platforms

Lewandoski will still be starting striker, so where do you see Werner playing? unless you think we will deploy a 4-4-2

First thing first sack Kovac, and all other things shall follow
I don't mind a 4-4-2 or a 4-4-1-1. Thiago and Goretzka can form the midfield pivot and Werner play just behind Lewandowski. We need to start thinking of life after Lewandowski eventually as well and if Werner is available at a reasonable price it would be silly not to make an attempt to land him

I don't know if Uli is sold on sacking Kovac and it seems he holds a slightly higher cache on decisions than Kalle

Baba you talk am oh. I was desperately rooting for the Sharks but that OT goal was heartbreaking for them especially Ben Bishop who ironically was a Blues goalie before moving to the Sharks. Something about the Bruins is the grit and aggressiveness with which they play.
Naah I think Bishop played with the Lightning but is from St Louis. He plays for the Stars right now you mean

Bruins have the best blend of youth and experience. Their guys Bergeron, Marchand and Krejci are proven playoff performers and their goalie Tuuka Rask has been the best in these playoffs. I wouldn't rule out the Hurricanes pulling an upset anyway
