A40: Luka has. You cannot trade Luka for Tatum. 2 Tatums even That is the definition of far exceeded. Others have exceeded Tatum, but not by much - Trae Young for example. Ja Morant approaching Tatum. If this season is like last season, with Tatum underperforming and Morant making noise in the playoffs, well... Ill skip the bigs since they usually dont follow the same trajectory as guards, forwards |

etidy: He had to leave. Skilled guys like Durant like to play with a chip on their shoulder. Any sign of disrespect, no matter how little will set them off, imagined or not. Warriors really didnt do anything evil to him, it;s just how Durant's mind works. Ultimately he wants to win the 'ship with 2 different teams and prove he wasnt carried to a ring, a la Lebron gaining a different level of respect after winning with the Heat then Cavs. Perhaps he should have chosen some other team though, as in any team without Kyrie, westbrick, or other diva type players. Say what you will about Durant's off court issues, the guy is the ultimate professional when it comes to the game. Durant will bring it every night, no excuses. Sad to see him saddled with issues not of his own making. 4 Likes |

KD had to leave the Warriors. That one is a no brainer. Just 1 ring even with these Nets would get him a bit more respect than what he did with the Warriors. Hell if he had beaten the Bucks last season and lost in the Finals he would get more respect among the really loud fans even his haters on SM |

birdman:Taaa! I no gree this one. Jayson has led his team to a Conference Final, been an All NBA player and All star so don't tell me any of his mates have far exceeded him. Not even LUKA Trae Young ko, Trae song ni. Where is his All NBA appearance? He's just doing what Jayson did two seasons ago. You could argue it was a good team, he was still the best player on it Lol at Ja Morant. Just lol Wait. You think Luka would have beaten the Nets last season in the playoffs? 1 Like |

A40: What I got from he saying some young players have far exceeded Tatum, is if we put down all the players drafted since Tatums class, and ask GM's to pick, some names are coming off the block before Tatum's. So IMHO, Luka is the only one I can say categorically fits that bill, Trae is a maybe depending on the person picking. |

People go just go read box score then come here begin cap. Lol. AD that was virtually playing on one leg throughout the game. Has AD ever had a game where he had zero free throws? Because they had no option than to throw an undersized THT on Giannis, una come here dey shout 47. Best big man in the league when healthy. Read am again . |

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 5:11am On Nov 18, 2021 |
steady986: last time we talked on this AD saga, you claimed he was the best big man in the league, but he was not an alpha. Those are your words o, steady. I no wan talk then. But applying your statement to this game, when he plays another big man like Giannis, he will get dominated, because he is not an alpha. So, how can he still be the best big man in the league if there are other big men that he cant perform against? Now, you say he was playing on one leg tonight. Riddle me this: do you think AD would have continued in the playoffs if he had the type of injury Giannis had in the playoffs last year? Ordinary stomach ache your best big man dey siddon for house dey watch game dey chip potato chips 5 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:17am On Nov 18, 2021 |
E say na one leg. This brudda is shameless. Excuses are the tool of the incompetent. Keep crying I thought e go even point out the Bucks defensive scheme and how they doubled AD compared to the Lakers who were giving Giannis open express to the basket. Not forgetting AD tried but simply couldn't stop Giannis who was 7 of 11 with AD as his primary defender Whether healthy or unhealthy 0 Final MVPS, 0 League MVPS, 0 DPOYs. There's levels to this.

Of course he was on one leg after Giannis spent the first 3 Quarters bussing his ass. Where was the one leg AD in these clips. Alainitiju oniro. Shior https://twitter.com/i/status/1461208453788180484 https://twitter.com/Lakers/status/1461142458134192131?s=20 |

Some brave proclamations by Stephen A. today: 1. LeBron is done winning championships. 2. Golden State would win 2 championships in the next 3 years. 3. If LeBron wins the championship this year, he (Stephen A) would entertain conversations about who the GOAT is. Hehehehehe. We go dey here |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 5:24pm On Nov 18, 2021 |
Khanben: Giannis is not on the same level with anybody. I've said that plenty of times. I proclaimed him the best player in the league already, even better than LeBron and KD. What I'm saying is when healthy, AD is the best big man in the league. And don't tell me Giannis is a big man just because he's big. Giannis is a forward. The most times Giannis has ever played forward is this season in like 3 or 4 games because of injuries. Lopez, Portis and Thanasis will play center before Giannis does. Hope you get now. AD on the other hand plays at least half his minutes at center every single game. If you want to bring up names like Jokic or Embiid then you have an argument. But don't mention Giannis. |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 5:32pm On Nov 18, 2021 |
birdman: Has Giannis ever outperformed AD the way he did today? Just one game he had injury and we no go hear word. You're now talking as if he gets outperformed by any top big man he plays. The way you like dey nitpick sef. Did Giannis continue in the the game he got that injury? Didn't he have 2-3 day to heal? When AD got his injury in this game, did he quit? I'm sure you didn't watch the game. He played on. But he couldn't be aggressive because of it, that's why Vogel had to put THT on Giannis. AD didn't have a bad game. He shot 60% from the field and even had a better +/- than Giannis himself. And which "stomach ache" kept AD at home? AD played with that stomach infection, even vomiting at halftime but still played on. And P.S, Giannis is not a big man. |
