Decale: Curry is slowly leaving the conversation. The stars in that lineup are eating him up. LeBron too.
Guess it boils down to 3 now... Ohh no no no you can't with good conscience see what Giannis, PG13, Jokic,Harden are doing and tell me Steph is MVP material |

GloryIsaac: Wow , See punch ... Good thing he (Isreal) passed this test, looking forward to his next fight.
Do you rate Usman? His record looks solid though I rarely follow anything below middleweight so I can't say how good he is for sure |

Pointguardusa: Even Embiid started at 16. Well Nigerians parents may not understand sports . (Even my parents especially my mom used to persecute me for playing basketball. I haven't played in over 5 months now)Like in the case of Anthony Joshua. Some are slowly starting to understand though. The thing with parents is you have to show them you're all in. 5 months is a terribly long time to be without basketball at your relatively young age. You have to sit down and ask yourself what you really want and how badly do you want it. I didn't want it bad enough back then because I didn't really think I was that good so it's up to you |

SmooshCHN: I'm surprised too. I got back here and saw guys of 6'9, 6'6 here in Lagos who just got into Bball in their late teens cos either their parents didn't give them the freedom to play and other BS like that. Wasted talents everywhere. It's so unfortunate. If not that I'm scared of most of them, I'd have talked them up at the court I play at. I'm still looking for a responsible one to talk to. China will welcome a lot with open arms It's mental really. I always look at a guy like Olajuwon who was roasting and didn't discover basketball till he was 16/17. Think of how good he could have been if he started at a younger age. Even back then we were playing for fun at National Stadium and Punch Estate but how do you tell your parents you want to play basketball when all your mates are entering university? Plus you see the Dodan Warriors and so-called pros here and they aren't doing too well so you just face reality It speaks to the system that someone of that height is just attempting basketball at 24. If he's serious sha it's worth a shot, you never know |

donlittle25: NBA dream is over, but you can decrease your age and make it to the USA on college scholarship.
But now you said you are 6'6? You need some certain skills to play those positions. If you were 6'11 or above, it would be easier as you could just make it over here been a center and grabbing the boards and defending. But at your height, certain skills are required which takes years to learn, from younger age. Make he comot mind for US and focus on China or Europe tbh. The time it might take and the quality of basketball he might need to play to be able to make it is a sore point. SmooshCHN has given him the best window. Hopefully he follows up |

SmooshCHN: Questions like these break my heart. I asked myself the same when I was 18 and to be honest, it was late AF for NBA. Impossible at 5"8 . If you're really dedicated, you can make it to other basketball leagues and Europe and China and your talent has to make up for your age. Better late than never. China, Philippines and the Balkans are his best bet honestly. Nigeria is such a waster of talent though and I'm a bit surprised a 6'6 ninja is just stumbling on basketball at 24 |

Blackavast: Hello Basketball people pls I need your advise I just started playing basketball I'm 24. Can I still make it to the NBA if I horn my skills or I should forget about it. Ahhhh. At 24? I don't like discouraging people at anything ever but just starting the game at 24 is a bit late. The amount of catching up you need to do I don't know if you can cope oh |

etidy: This is the biggest question about kyrie: Injuries. His game is so dependent on cutting, dribbling, shooting from impossible angles off the dribble that it places so much pressure on his fragile knees.
As for the Celtics chemistry issues I put some of the blame on brad Stevens, its one thing to be a tactical genius that can extract the best performance from a bunch of mediocre guys, it another to be a great manager of egos and manage a team of very talented players to a championship level. This is why I get annoyed when people disrespect Steve Kerr. Secondly, a lot is said about how trade rumours are running the Lakers chemistry but no one talks about its influence on the Celtics locker room. You have guys like jaleyn brown, rozier, Hayward, smart and even Tatum who know their days are probably numbered in a celtics uniform. I wouldn't put the entire blame on Stevens. The truth is the younger Celtic players (Rozier,Smart,Brown,Tatum) have all been punching above their weight and have regressed to mean level this season. They are also playing on a shorter rope this year unlike previous ones where Stevens really had no choice. I had Celtics as the prohibitive favorite in the East when the season started but that prediction don dey shake merely going by how inconsistent they have been all year. Maybe there is still some magical switch or gear they can hit, remains to be seen |
