FIRST PLAYER TO WIN THE TITLE WITH 3 DIFFERENT TEAMS!......MUCH RESPECT MAN!

Arise SIR LEWIS HAMILTON!... It's only a matter of time before possibly Britain's Greatest Ever Sportsman gets His well earnt and deserved Knighthood.

chris81964:
Hamilton the GOAT equaled Schumi's record of wins. 91

We knew that a long time ago. Your Boy is just waiting for Lewis to hit a Century of Wins before causing serious commotion on this thread.

FBS:
I don't get it. They have zero argument

Zero! Zilch!

FBS:
How can anyone hate on James? why? Dude is a monster of a b-baller and he is 35!

I stopped arguing with people about LeKing right after the 2016 finals. I mean what else can I say?

WeissVonner:
The Raptors primarily exploited Giannis's inability to shoot during the WCF. You saw what AD did yesterday to a team trying to play him like that. If you can get AD a quality playmaker, that's all he needs to dominate.

I still maintain KD should have gone to any other promising team and still won but plastic or not, he did win his rings and his legacy is better because of it. Funny thing is Chuck did try to ring chase at the end of his career but it was too late then. I think the old heads are jealous that this generations players have taken their destiny into their hands so they call it soft or treacherous. Why a lot of them have a seething hatred for LeBron and his player empowerment movement. I just hope Giannis learns before it's too late.

You said yourself "He'll need a quality playmaker". Who in the current Bucks squad can you confidently say is a quality playmaker? The end result would have remained the same had you swapped Giannis for AD.

Which promising team(s) do you think He should have gone too? Which one of those teams would have given a shot at 2 rings? Remember the team He was leaving behind could also be described as promising too. Dude was done waiting. He was in the Win Now mode.

Exactly His Leagacy is secure. Chuck wishes He had teamed up with a Clyde or Ewing early on in His career. Must be frustrating having the likes of Kenny Smith and Draymond take the mic. Dudes that were/are not in His strastophere as players.

A40:
People keep downplaying how poorly these guys played that series. Especially Eric friggin Bledsoe who should not be a starting PG of any team hoping to compete in this league

I can't emphasise this well enough. They were absolutely dreadful. The least said about Eric the better

A40:
Fair enough and this is why haters need to lay off KD for good. Everyone is taking the shortest path possible to the ring these days. That's just what it is

Even if you hated the decision He took 4 summers ago, your stance should have softened a lot by now especially with the near Career ending injury He suffered. The pressure He would have been under to get back to the court if He had sustained that injury without any rings would have been immense.

A40:
He would have stayed. Most of those old school players are cut from a much different cloth than the players of now. Do you know what it means to lose to the same team 3 times in a row and keep fighting? Hakeem didn't leave, Malone spent 18 years in Utah, Robinson didn't leave, Dirk never left Dallas and stayed till he won. Rings have always mattered but players also wanted to be revered in their franchises.

If you transported those aforementioned players into the Current climes, you best bet they'll be falling over themselves trying to find a way to Link up to give themselves the best chance of winning. Malone for example i'm sure will do things differently if He could turn back time. He went to the Lakers but by time, it was too late.

A40:
Actually what these playoffs have shown is that AD has alpha talent but beta mentality. I think the argument of who's better between him and AD has been closed for now

I agree. AD has overtaken Him for the time being. Tbh no one has ever disputed the fact that AD is the more talented one after all there is a reason why He was the undisputed Numero Uno in His draft class whilst Giannis was not even in the Top12 recruits.

A40:
However we have no proof and will have no proof for quite sometime that AD is able to lead a team like the Bucks or any team to a title. He's not even the unanimous best player on the Lakers. That's why despite his skill set if this winds up being the only ring he wins nobody is ever going to put him ahead of a Dirk or a Karl Malone never mind Duncan

I agree with this too most especially the first part. We will only know of His ability to lead once King James either retires or finally declines. With regards to the second bit, I reckon a Ring and a FMVP this year plus a Regular season MVP next year gets Him close to Malone maybe not Dirk but certainly not Timmy.

WeissVonner:
AD on the 2019 Bucks team would've beaten the Raptors and that carcass of the GSWs.

Uhh he bolted because his team in NO was as- cheeks and he realized what Giannis hasn't yet. Now he's building his own legacy and is on track to be FMVP.

I keep listening to ringless people like Chuck telling him to stay in Milwaukee and get better because "Thats what Jordan did". Lol! In todays NBA, you try that nonsense and you end up like you said, ringless. The Bucks are going to flame out again next year and he's going to be at a crossroads like LeBron was in 2010, its either he does whats best for his career or he continues his pointless loyalty at the detriment of his legacy and see himself end up like "Championship Chuck".

Beaten the Raptors with the likes of Khris and Eric? Definitely not in this life or the next. The result would have remained the same.

Props to AD for realising that. He clearly saw where His career was heading, decided to take the Bull by the Horn and is clearly reaping the benefits of that decision. Basketball is a short career so you have to make the most of it.

The so called "Old heads" tend to look at things through rose tinted glasses. Do you think MJ would have stayed if He did not have Pippen by His side? He better not listen to these folks. If KD had listened to any of their advice and stayed put, He would still be ringless by now.

WeissVonner:
would've won a ring in 2019 if he was on the bucks. This run has just vaulted him over Kawhi in my books. Yes I said it!

LOOOOOOL Won what ring? Why do you think He bolted at the first opportunity to team up with a TOP 3(at worst) player of all time?

Ringlessness awaits Giannis in the nearest future if He doesn't realise the NBA is now Star driven and you simply can't do it on your own. The days of Hakeem 94 and Duncan 03 are long gone.

afrodoc2:
Jon Jones should move up and fight Miocic. I would like a Miocic/Ngannou rematch and Jones should face the winner. He should leave Izzy alone. He is looking for who to bully.

Now this is what we would all like to see but would JJ move up the ranks? If it was vs some Mediocre Heavyweight, we would have seen that fight a long time ago. I hope He'd prove me wrong but I don't see Him taking up that fight most especially not vs Ngannou

Ibime:
Are these two even in the same weight class?

Jon Jones go kill Adesanya sha

Makes Zero sense. JJ is a good 10kg heavier than Israel so ofcourse He has an advantage. Israel would be stupid to even think of moving up to the Light heavyweight division. Let JJ starve himself and move down two divisions.

WeissVonner:
Stephen A is a mo.ron. Him bringing up race when Steve Nash was appointed really made him look like a fool. African Americans are sometimes the architects of their destruction. This is why some people find it hard to listen to their plight because their approach to a lot of things is entirely wrong. Are they being marginalized? Of course they are, but you can't be advocating for equality and in the same breath propagating double standards. The Montrezl Luka incident also comes to mind. Then there's coming for Adele for "cultural appropriation" for harmlessly wearing Bantu knots and Jamaican colors . They need to figure out what exactly it is they're trying to do. They need to throw this inferiority complex and victim mentality out the window.

It's the Adele's situation that I find particularly funny. Anyone that knows the Area in North London Adele was Born and partially Bred in would never accuse Her of Cultural Appropriation. It's an area packed full of Carribeans(mostly Jamaicans) and a few Africans. Not forgetting She also lived in Brixton another area with a Huge Carribean population. As She famously said " You can take the Girl/Boy out of Tottenham, but you can never take Tottenham out of the Girl/Boy".

Having said all that, I don't think the Vast Majority of AA think this way. However the ones that do tend to be the Most Vocal/loudest in the Group hence why it looks that way. Their Voices simply drowns out the rest in the Group. I do though agree that a number of them need to do away with the Victim Mentality if not for anything other than the fact that it sets a limiter on what they can achieve.

What I do find fascinating is that pretty much every Trump Voting AA don't have that mentality. They'll boastfully and proudly tell you that they are not victims and never have been victims. They'll also tell you that they've never had it better. Food for thought.

WeissVonner:
Man. They have Jimmy who's a dog, herro and Robinson who can shoot the lights out, Bam who's staking a claim to being the best center in the East. Then you add Crowder and Iggy, good wings. You're right, I think I have to revise my prediction to Lakers in 4.

LOOOOL ......Make that Lakers in 2. The first two games would be walk overs/Gimmes so they might as well not turn up to the Arena.

A40:
Hehehehe. The boy is just a supernova. Considering he didn't move to a country you can call an MMA hotbed. I'm sure he's the only one in the team that took it this far

Absolutely.... It takes talent, drive and ambition to achieve all He has achieved thus far in the sport. As far as I know yup. The majority of us at takewandoo only joined because our parents saw it as a way for us to keep fit. Wonder how He was able to convince His parents to let Him go down the MMA path? Unless He started very late in His life.

WeissVonner:
Lol!

Lakers in 5.

I don't know about that Man. It will go 6 rounds at the very least.

SmooshCHN:
NGL, when it comes to the NBA, LeBron has definitely been doing something right whether you like him or not. Miami Heat better show up.

The Man The Myth The Legend.

Heats vs Lakers it is. Let's see How it plays out.

Bam Adebayo is indeed special. This Dude is the Real Deal.

A40:
Corona? With the number of Nigerians running things in MMA just makes you wonder how many more Adesanya's are roaming round the streets of Lagos.

Chrisland......They'll probably be a picture of the Taekwandoo team somewhere in my Parent's attic back in Naij. I bet loads of them. Most especially in the Public School system.

airmark:


Awa fierce.

You guys tried. 60 f@^@ing percent you know? Basically you lots could have stopped voting on Friday with the lines still open for another week and you still would have won. That's insane!

Airmark Bia, your Boy has done you proud o

SmooshCHN:
LeBron sit down ni sha. It's not easy. 9 of the last 10 NBA Finals.

Half Man Half Amazing!

iamoyindamola:
She didn't reply mails too

Oh really? That is so unlike Her not too reply to messages of people She communicates with regularly. Now I am a slightly worried. I need to find a way to get through to Her.

steady986:
That's cool. He chose to fight, and you, you chose to eat cheese burgers

LOOL....Funny enough, We were actually in the same Taekwandoo team(plus Cub Scouts If I remember right) but things went south from thereon

iamoyindamola:
Bro when last did you hear from ibukun, hope she's fine

Bro it's been a while. I tried sending Her a DM but my DM simply does not work. I'm sure She has Her reasons for taking time off NL but much like you I just want to know that She is doing ok. Hopefully I'd get through to Her soon enough.

steady986:
Israel Adesanya is not to be messed with!

He isn't. Really proud of Him of the Lad. To think We attended the same Primary School in Naij and look where He is now, it's literally insane.

Ibime's favourite show THE NFL SHOW currently on my screen.

raumdeuter:
Kicker team of the week

Airmark errrr I think this post was meant for you

Looks like the Lakers have this sown up. Onto Game as far as the Nuggets are concerned.

Roland17:
That being said, Giannis needs to improve on his existing game. No one is going to allow you walk the ball up the court and bully your way past a wall to the rim all the time, especially in the post season when it becomes a half court game

THIS!!!!

Roland17:
He does not necessarily have to expand his game by becoming a jump shooter, I mean, that will be good but he can get better with his footwork and under the rim skills.

I don't with the "Him not necessarily needing a Jump Shoot". He might not need a 3 game but boy does He need a Solid Mid range game if He wants to take His game to the next level. Btw I agree with Him needing to improve His non existent footwork. Watch Him closely and you'll see how poor it is.
