stevefranchise. words fail me

chic2pimp:
Are we still pedalling this lie? MJ was not cut from his varsity team. It was simply rare for sophmores to make varsity teams back then.

google is your friend. his coach claimed he didnt "cut" him, he just put him on the jv team. That is like telling NBA starter to go to NBDL...its not a "cut", just a demotion na . Like your teacher telling you to repeat primary 6 while your mates are going to JSS1. Its not a "cut" o, its just that you are 2 years younger than everybody and it is rare for you to make JS1

Bottomline, it was a diss, and it fueled Jordan. Feel free to google the definitive forbes article on the issue. even in front of the coach, jordan repeated the slight.

M.J's greatness is not what one can begin to explain. I am imagining if he had LeBron's body how badly he woulda destroyed competition

na spirit? lol. I agree on this much though, that MJ's primary strength was mental. And LBJ will never get there because he will never experience the level of crap MJ had to deal with.

But if MJ had LBJ's body, I would say MJ never wins 6 rings. Because the road would be much easier. He would never have been cut from his varsity team, and the pistons would not have been able to bully him early in his career. MJ would probably have a more laid back personality (like many big guys), and his nba career would be very different.

MVP awards don't go to 5th and 6th seeds, have never gone to 4th seed and rarely go to 3rd seed. There have been only few cases player won MVP outside the top 2 seeds:

Bob Petit in 55/56
Mcadoo in 74/75
Jabbar in 75/76
Moses Malone in 78/79 and 81/82
MJ in 88

That's just 6 out of 61 regular seasons, the last almost 30yrs ago.

This is a normal something. You no remember KG in 2005 after averaging same stats as his 2004 MVP season but his Wolves plummeted. Wetin happen? No be Nash dem give am with KG 11th position in voting

Or the following year when Kobe knack 35.4 ppg for the season but MVP honors went to Nash again cos of their 1 seed?

Or Rose in 2011 or Malone in 99?

Or all star MVPs and finals mvps?


Best player in best team > best player in a crappy team
Impact > Value

E no go change unless Harden/WB move up in the ranking which we all know is impossible with Warriors, Spurs, Clippers and Grizzlies out there

Dalu

Steve Nash? Cant remember what seed they were though. Also remember he won back to back, even when though LBJ was a better player that year. MVP is not completely objective, so I would say in Westbrook keeps up his triple double rate, he is guaranteed MVP, unless they are like 6th seed and below. And if they get past first round, he will be MVP for sure.

**just checked. suns were number 1 and 2 seeds in those years . didnt translate into rings or even finals though. stillin OKC makes top 4 or even top 5, I think he bags the award

lolawilliams:
klay still better pass our JR smith na

shoulda let jr walk. lebron makes guys look better than they really are

warriors are starting to erm...look like the team everyonewas scared they would be.

popizaino:
I know for sure the league is for the golden state warrior this time around or no one else.

lets keep watching na. if they can even come out of the west. clippers are just trying to stay uninjured into the post season. and they match up very well with warriors. spurs are playing possum. donlittle how market for mavericks

GBASKY:
YOU MUST BE FROM A MAD PEOPLES GENERATION . ASIWERE

lol. folks pls dont join the goats. with their own mouths and fingers let them accept their reward.

RIP to the lad. I can only imagine the shock the parents are in right now

We all need to be aware of these kind of situations and try not to escalate minor things

so after 10 games lakers have better record than rockets. ok.

A40:
Let's see how he fares because if he fails 07/08 recession would be child's play compared to what might lie ahead

Thanks for bringing this up. There is a good chance feds wont be able to continue QE among other things because its one of those things repubs hate.

Bottomline message to nigerian and african peeps - start saving now, like you expect the mother of all recessions come first or second quarter of 2017. I believe other ethnic gropus are better prepared to weather that storm.

In the event that a recession does hit, asset prices like real estate will drop. It will be a good time to pick up some stuff on the cheap. If you need to, find a few other peeps so yall can gather enough dough to do so

freaskie:
birdman...oya..I want in...sheun911@yahoo.com....transfer to me shaply....Lemme beastbrook y'll

Aight then. Will add you in another hour or so. Feel free to change team name

Decale:
That's normal for Curry. It's just atypical cos of his plummeting stats. In fact the only people that really made noise about the record was the nba association.

I think everybody on this thread knew he's going to ice that record. It's Curry we're talking about.

13 3s is not normal bros.

Initially defense was loading up on KD freeing Curry to get some good looks. And of course he got hot

Still, pelicans were in this game till the end. I dont know if they just matchup well with warriors or this is a worrisome thing warriors need to fix. This should have been a blowout by 4th Q based on Currys play

Donlittle:
Demar derozan midrange is the most lethal mid-range i have seen from a guard since 2012-2013 Kobe Bryant. Holy Molly

Dude goes cold for whole games though. He is either in the zone or not unfortunately

westbrook going to the rim like someone owes his mom money! but can he keep this up all season? I know the brother got young legs but...

birdman:
brothers and sisters, e be like sey 419 don enter our fantasy league o .

Is there anyone who still want to join - we have one (crazy) guy with two teams. I plan on giving one of his teams to anyone who is interested. just shoot me your email address. mr rhymz no go kill us....amen

for those not on messenger, i took over the bonus team and named it appropriately . I plan on managing the team well - if someone wants to join our league as the season continues, I will transfer it to that person

*rubs hands*

So because speights played with Curry, he too can just step into a 3 anytime abi? Issorite

otherwise im going to locate josh and invite him back to terrorize skywalker and joephemzyz

brothers and sisters, e be like sey 419 don enter our fantasy league o .

Curry's number ain't dropping.I have cancelled the trade to Lola.I wanted to trade curry as he was my franchise player and wanted Whiteside desperately but can't drop curry for Whiteside alone. I can get another good rebounder but not easy getting a player who lights up three pointer.

A40 is saying the same thing. Well, this team is far more potent with Curry as facilitator/third offensive threat imo. I think he is carrying more scoring load than he should right now because they are still feeling out rottions and they need the wins in the meantime. Ultimately, there is only one bball, and Klay getting hot does more damage to contenders than Curry getting hot

A40:
What of the bandwagon Cavs fans?

nowhere near as obnoxious. nowhere near as entitled. 4 games into the seaon and they are having "meltdowns"...shior

plus lets be frank...cavs will never be a darling team in the nba. too many "rough" edges. feels more like a street bball team. Warriors look way more polished. Even the singular white guy on the cavs starting team sef, he looks shady.

SmooshCHN:
This will forever be an all time classic. How I wish Twitter and Instagram was around during this..

the funny part i will always remember i the dude in white who comes out of the stands to confront Artest. Someone forgot to tell him Artest is a boxer cuz the dude had his hands down. The way he dropped after Artest's hook was

A40:
Just incase the Warriors need motivation. This is excellent board material

bwhahaha..if anything good can come out of this, I hope all the bandwagon fans from silicon valley jump off - oakland and gsw deserve better

lolawilliams:
What's this. No I cant accept this. ahan you wicked oo. Devin Booker,Taj Gibson, Stephen Curry for Paul George, Myles Turner, Hassan Whiteside. Haba Skywalker

lol. i thought the last trade was actually in lolas favor. i dont think curry this season is going to be anything like last season. i expect his numbers to drop more as warriors retool. p george is a legit stud imo - adding teague frees him to be much more efficient. somehow, i think this deal is even worse for skywalker this time - i havent watched heat this year, but im thinking hassan in the franchise bigman now?

o wait...skywalker is trying to get p george and whiteside for curry and some change? ah oti o lol

Donlittle:
Birdman, you need a center bro? Monroe for Jeremy lin?

with the way things are going for brook lopez, i may be in need of another

joephemzyz:
someone is clapping back at kilrhyms

Hehe birdman how market
Lola Williams bawo ni
Skywalker o sha fe win kini yi

A40 bawo
Roland u gats chill small for I thomas o, that dude does a lot for us!

Yea

Green runs deep I concur

I thank God for market o

Skywalker5:
You guys are scaring me lol. i thought i had a super team.

@birdman what's up. Killrhymz is flogging you. i hope your team has power to fight back

na wa o...its all good. had to fly home for an emergency...was enroute and missed the draft plus the couple of days. only to come back and see killrhymz flogging me. diaris God

Donlittle:
I thought i am in automatically from last year?

yessir

Im hearing Reggie Miller's name too much There are at least a hundred players better than Reggie. Just because hes on TNT all the time and they keep trying to pump him up doesnt change the facts. What else is he known for other than being a nuisance to the knicks in a few games?

This list is bananas
