LeBron winning a ring with NO all NBA players NO All Stars On one foot As a 7th seed After staring 2-10. would be the greatest ring of all time no debate. Copied from Twitter 2 Likes |

Blueelf:This one is cap sha. Cos this is one of the most balanced teams he's ever been on. With a top 75er in his prime still averaging 25 and 12 The greatest individual ring still remains what Olajuwon did in 94 with that Rockets team and then what Dirk did in 2011 beating 3 HOFers in their prime. This season can never top that 1 Like |

Na their way be that. Cherrypick some facts, no context. But I love it. Let the narratives continue. We dey wait at the end with counter. . I love it when you built up a narrative and it just fizzles. Me never give up sha. Until my man is completely down I am still in this. . But sha people dey underrate Olajuwon sha ooo. Folks don dey kick am out of top 10 for the likes of Curry. Person wey i dey still rate above Shaq. I will still take him over Duncan with 5 titles. The man was just unlucky that his career overlapped with the GOAT. For most of his career he played in a team with players ranging from unserious to fairly above average, especially in those titles. Those guys may have not been Super stars, but they were solid(at least many of them) and that was enough to will them to the titles. A40: |

benji93:Lol. They're not serious with their propaganda that they think helps their guy but actually does him a disservice. You can't say he's the greatest and perpetually cast him as the underdog even with superior or evenly matched squads. You are talking from both sides of your ass Cos the first question thinking people will ask is how did They start 2-10 to begin with. Did Adam Silver punish them for an offense? Didn't everyone start 0-0? Why did they drop as low as 7th seed? Look around the league and tell me which team still standing has two top 75ers Olajuwon was a beast for me the best defensive player in modern NBA history people don't know he's all time blocks leader. Really tough to order Shaq, Duncan and Olajuwon ultimately what works against Olajuwon is in his latter days he actually played with Barkley, Pippen, Drexler and failed to even sniff the Finals. That's the black mark on his record |

Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 9:52pm On May 10, 2023 |
I would previously argue that as opposed to today when thanks to modern health methods, we will be seeing more and more Superstars extending their prime into their 30s, that wasn't the case in the 90s. Most Superstars would be close to average by the time they were 33. Even though I feel maybe he's just one of those stars that does not work well with co- Superstars. But we wouldn't have known this if they didn't come together in an experiment that for the most part failed. And there's the Sampson issue. He worked well with Sampson and they were on their way to perennial greatness. Instead of invoking these hypotheticals in his defense, it's much better to accept those as his failures. Similarly, for other greats, instead of coulda woulda. After all, they are humans. A40: 1 Like |

Brown and Tatum make the All NBA team and by so doing become eligible for the super max contract. Brown is eligible after this season while Tatum will become eligible after next season. |

benji93:Jordan did win his second 3peat at age 33-35 respectively though. You might be right. He might be one of those that don't function well with stars and this is why Jordan deserves immense credit for winning that 3peat with Pippen. Barkley and Olajuwon were two MVPS that played together. Pippen joined them and still failed to win. Drexler played two seasons with both and failed to win (for those that think that era was sweet) I don't know that Sampson would have stayed healthy or remained consistently good enough for them to win. Two 7fters, hell one was 7ft plus. I'm just pointing out the flaws in the Hakeem argument that are out there, hell some people say he only won cos MJ retired. I don't quite belong to that crowd and I even rate Hakeem over Shaq and just below Duncan. The thing with Hakeem and why he got so overlooked was even with his back to backs you didn't think juggernaut like the Lakers or Spurs |
