You know very well its not even fair to judge harden with his OKC days

The real harden is exceptional. Real harden done hit almost 37 ppg. The real harden na former MVP and has been even robbed of the award. Assist machine and also surprisingly a good rebounder

Once harden gets a ring with this sixers all this talk will be a thing of the past

Harden is a unique talents. No one ever talks about Curry's shortcomings or even Durant's etc

Wetin harden do NBA fans I know just know. Imagine saying the real harden and disputing his greatness. Prime harden na monster I so much enjoyed his game he was a joy to watch

Tellwhat:
Wetin Lakers do Clippers

Bullying Lakers for like how many games in a row now.

Meanwhile I just looked at Miami heats and I feel like they could come surprisingly snatch this NBA trophy. If the likes of Jimmy, Lowry,tucker,morris, oladipo returns they will be a serious problem
Same with a complete healthy nets

It all boils down to being healthy and available.

What I don't see happening is bucks getting a back to back. Lakers are not going anywhere either

A40:
I'm convinced his ancestors were Fulani or Berber. Always in migration. That's why I call him LeNomad

A40:
It's evident that you're still using Washington eye to look at John Wall.

John Wall last season shot 40% from the floor on 18 shots. Averaged 7 assists and 3.5 turnovers. A 31% 3pt shooter. That is to say him and Westbrook, omo iya kan ni won. You just dey wind yourself if you think Wall is a significant upgrade on Westbrook and that's not even factoring his availability issues

Essentially you would have a scenario where Wall, AD are out and LeNomad would have had to carry the load himself

A40:
Absolutely rubbish contest. Nobody deserved to be awarded anything. They couldn't execute even the most basic dunks and worse nobody was creative enough to use any props like they used to do in the past. They need to cancel it for a few years and regroup

steady986:
Lol. You don dey support your player now . Wall and Westbrook are like for like. Just that he might make a bit more layups

Roland17:
I have different news links about his shooting and case saved up and I still get triggered for any Nelon Drake(the guy that killed Busayo) news. Maybe it’s time to let go of those things, time will tell.

You see wetin me and @A40 dey do with the GOAT vs the tap dancing Brady debates, na wetin Busayo dey do with @A40 with Cutler/ Rose/ Bulls that time, we go just stand one side dey look and laff. Seun don archive a lot, if not!! The man was an intelligent soul, my goodness!

Like you, I feel gutted for his parents and his family because I can’t imagine the degree of pain they have continued to endure. Man was different, I tell you!

Na why I no dey use my interactions with some of una for here joke. While it may be online and faceless, a lot goes into it especially consistent long termed interactions.

@Chic2pimp holla abeg!
@Decale, wherever you dey, I hope you are okay.

birdman:
It was good he was separated from his buddy Kyle Lowry and allowed to mature his game with the Spurs.


And happy new year yall!

A40:
Lol I don't even understand again. Is there some form of extra bonus teams get for beating the Lakers? A bounty or something? This Timberwolves are not that good nau. I can see a team clearly playing way above its level

And as for AD. Lol. At some point you just gotta have some competitive pride. From Giannis to KAT. All the bigs just dey sodomize am like say e be Bobrisky. This is bad dawg. I knew he was cupcake since I heard he was a Chicagoan that roots for the Packers but this is getting ridiculous. And don't tell me he got injured because he was being torched by KAT while they shared the court on all ends of the floor.

The short of it: you draft about 10 players that you think will be the best players in the upcoming season. Every week you line those players up against a different opponent and compete in 10 categories like Most Points, Most Assists, Least Turnovers, FG % etc. Each category you win in is 1 pt. So if you played SmooshCHN week 1, final score might be 7-3 for example. We tally these points per week, and towards the end of the season, the top 6 players enter the playoffs.

Obviously the initial draft is key, and people use different strategies. If you draft a Harden and other scorers, you likely win Most Points category every week you play. But if you draft too many scorers, your rebounds and assists suffer and you might lose overall each week. Or you can draft balanced teams, so that if you have a superstar like AD that goes down due to injury, you team still has enough balance to win categories. The draft has 10 rounds, and by round 3, most of the big name players are gone. This is where you have to think about diamonds in the rough, players no one knows that will ball in the upcoming season.

Every season we have played has its own challenges. Last year, the injury bug was strong in the league, and it changed peoples strategies. Imagine you picked AD with your high draft pick, and he gets injured half the season! You have to figure out how to replace him from free agency. You might get lucky and pick up a no name player that gets hot, or you could trade with another team to re-arrange your roster. You can swap players from free agency up to 4 times per week to help with injuries. Last season people used this a lot to stay afloat.

All of this means the initial draft we do next week is crucial. Everybody wants to pick the superstars like Giannis and Durant obviously. But if you see AD and Lillard available, who do you pick? If you think AD will have his best year ever, you pick the all-rounder AD. If you think AD will have another injury season, you pick a Lillard instead and take his points with a high TO and low FG pct.

I should add that most nairalanders I have played with are bloodhounds, These guys have no joy and will punish you as much as possible. You make a mistake and they will gladly flog you an 8-2 or 9-1. Nigerians have a high level of wickedness in the blood But dont worry, some of us are nice guys, and we will treat you humanely until you learn the ropes.

KNIGHTBlaed:
Come join us, the fantasy league dey easy to play. You go pick players to make your team on draft day, then when the league don start, you go dey get different opponent (from we wey dey play too). You go just dey set your team, pick players to start from your team every day or every week. Na like say na you be coach (but I know say highest na present Doc Rivers you go be). So top 8 or there about go qualify for playoffs, make I no explain more cos na there I go knock you comot . You can google about it tho, and when you join, you fit do mock draft so you'll get used to the way it's done.
