You just knew Lonzo would show up

The GOAT himself

My beloved Bulls reigniting my interest in BBall...

Credit to Lonzo Ball for the work he's put into improving his 3-pt shooting since his rookie days.

Also, these two are unstoppable right now

A40:
Out of all these guys you mentioned only two people you can even mention with Tatum and that's Luka and Trae. Which one is far exceeded??

far exceeded or approaching is what I said

Definitely a feel good story for this year. Im also happy Derozan is getting the recognition he deserves. Had he gone to the Lakers, none of this woulda happened. Fortune favors the brave!

Also, bless the Lakers for allowing Caruso leave, even though he was willing to stay for less than what the Bulls were offering

Nobody has far exceeded Jayson Tatum for starters

I wish @Decale was still active.. I hope he is happy wherever he is to see his Bulls competitive again..

Remember when (last season) people were saying Kerr could not coach and was only carried by great players

No na, na only when he get one good game, Steady go come tell us say na him be the best big in the game today. Brings the question again why he is in that LIST and Kyrie is not there? Sheybe they both have one thing in common, that ring.... Otan

Steph's shooting ability is just unfair.

Did Chuck just beat Kenny to the board?

To be honest that was a correct assessment. . It was bad. But perhaps we can say, good coaches have bad stretches too.

How many lead KD don lead? Abi na to join superteam be leading? But that doesn't stop us from acknowledging he's the best scorer in the game right?

Meanwhile, Steve Nash throwing the white flag with 12 minutes left in the ball game is just comical. This man is known for giving up too early.

And boy did they put a clamp on KD tonight. 31.6% FG. That's unlike him. My only worry na say Stephen A no go let us hear word tomorrow. But shame no go let am accept say he switched form the Nets to the Warriors real quick. When this man was singing the Nets name all preseason, even without Kyrie.

LMAO...Skip Bayless

In retrospect if Durant doesn't get a ring with the Nets , he will deeply regret leaving the warriors.

Imagine leaving a reliable, welcoming, unselfish MVP level player like Steph curry for a crackhead who is now threatening to waste one of the remaining peak years of your career all because of his personal stubbornness.
Curry is the exact opposite of Kyrie character wise. i suppose KD likes Chaos

Lol. Blame Draymond Green. I don't understand how any man stays after all that drama plus the NBA Finals where he was under pressure to play. Whether direct or implied

Overall it had to happen just like Brady and Belichick had to split. Part of the thrill is watching to see who is first to a ring the Warriors or KD

Did Stephen A just say that KD has no help in Brooklyn? My goodness. How KD is held to a much lower standard than any superstar I've ever known.

When did Harden become a scrub, KD gets the most leeway of every superstar I have ever seen.

During the offseason these guys were raving about the additions the Nets made. Stephen A himself even said the Nets are making the finals even without Kyrie. And now, just like that, he has no help.

It's obvious that Stephen a was exaggerating but the argument is fundamentally true.

Kyrie is snake, he did this to lebron at Cleveland, same at the Celtics and now he's constituting a nuisance at Brooklyn.
Unfortunately Harden has been below par,

KD is literally having a career year but the competition in the east is such that Harden either needs to step up or kyrie come back for the Nets to make the final

Kyrie and Ben Simmons are so feckless. I've never seen two guys so dedicated to squandering their prime quite like these two in all of sports.

In a perfect world they will be playing sports like tennis or boxing where others fortunes are not tied to them

I disagree. The Warriors was and will always be Steph's team. The media knew this. KD knew this. No matter how many rings he won with the Warriors, he knew he would never get his due respect in this league except he leaves the Warriors bandwagon and builds plus leads his own team.

PS: Respect is hard to get in this league. Even Lebron, after he got his Bubble ring, had to demand for one, " Give me my damn respect!," e get why.

I disagree with this biased media driven narrative. After 4 or more rings, 4 finals MVP and 6 years with the warriors. This whole narrative would have died.

The solution to criticism is winning, winning enough and people will forget how you won.

Well, I respect and defend your right to that opinion. It wasn't just the media though. Many NBA fans, emphasis on many, felt that way about those KD's rings and called him unprintable names. Even this thread has scars of battles fought on that score.

Draymond Green, his own team mate and team's vocal leader, had to spell it out for him in black and white in case he was impervious to the mounting disrespect to his name. "It's Steph's team. It's our team. We built this shit. You hopped into our team to get your damn rings." Do you realize the implication of this paragraph alone to his legacy? Read it again. Slowly.

Even KD himself said so himself, that he felt like an outsider, like he didn't belong there. Interpretation: it wasn't his team.

So I still stand on my own opinion. No matter how many rings he won with the Warriors he would still suffer the very same disrespect. He realized this and left the team, first emotionally, then later physically.
