My point is that, it doesn't really matter.

There is nothing players like Lebron, Steph and to a lesser extent KD can do again to remove from their legacy, they can only add to it.

Those guys are set.

I know you're a big Lebron fan. Imagine someone shitting on Lebron's offensive prowess and comparing him to Paul George grin because he has a few bad shooting games at this stage of his career, no be colos be that grin

The only acceptable debate out there is Lebron vs Jordan for who is the GOAT.

Likewise, you can't be mentioning Steph and Brunson, Kyrie, Derozan in the same debate.
Allow us to troll in peace grin

BTW, that is the most point scored in an Olympic knockout game, and the second in the Olympics for Team USA.
It is most 3s by 1 player in any Olympics game as well.

Nice to bring this back.
Still the most influential.

In all of this, big shout out to Jokic man.
Nigga wanted to send the greatest team ever assembled home.
Oh boy....
Jokic did not have the greatest of games to be honest. That Serbia team even without Jokic is legit. They ran Canada close during last year's FIBA world cup and were unlucky to loose that game.

I thought the record was 6 and Curry broke it at 7. I never Googled it though. Just heard the commentator say so.

@Birdman, come closer. Isn't it wonderful that a team full of NBA all-time greats almost got cooked by a team full of players mostly playing in Europe? cheesy grin. You know me, I go take troll you. You and your caucus conveniently ignored it. This is a star-studded team, no need to blow up every game. The offensive load can go around. And did he not blow up when it mattered most? cheesy. I thought KD is the only one that can shine in such teams. Curry was just marinating for the masterpiece. Now Almighty KD can put in 25 points for the gold.

What does almost got cooked even mean? Did they not win under pressure. If they played the same game 10 times, who wins? Oga siddown, instead to say they won e say they almost got cooked. Fox news level of propaganda grin

Denver vs Heat almost got as many viewership as the Warriors did in 2022 grin Even though it was the Warriors against the great Celtics. What does that tell you? cheesy

You're putting up 2015 to 2018 as if you didn't know those numbers were huge because of LeBron cheesy
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:03pm On Aug 09, 2024
All these talls about Tatum not playing. I honestly don't know if Tatum would have helped but i know he's pissed as hell. grin

Win is paramount at this point. Every player needs to chill, see how USA went to the vets late in crunch time. That was not the time to spam 3s.

You're pretty bad at reading statistics. The only consistent factor in the highest views is the warriors. Did Lebron not play in 2020?

And what is the revisionist nonsense about Denver vs the Heats? The narrative was that it was one of the most watched NBA finals in the last 5 years. Yeah, it was 2nd to the last time the warriors played in the final. LOL

Only 1 common factor = the Golden State Warriors.

This is not an argument, the is CONCRETE FACT. Not only did Steph change the game, on the outside, he gave the analytics people that the nba bain trust used to shit upon, a leg to stand on.
For nearly 2 decades the few analytics guys in the league have been saying it was better to shoot 3s than the long 2s, they have been saying don't challenge a shot blocking big at the rim if you can bring them out to the perimeter on a PnR,but none of the nbas brain trust agreed with them up until Curry. As soon as the 3s thing proved to be true, they had to start listening to other things as well.

I am talking about now, you are talking prime Curry. The ones I mentioned would have done better in this Olympics. Ok, DeRozan is stretching it a bit but the other two, Ky and Brunson would have put on a show at this Olympics.
Which of the Kyrie? The one we saw at the NBA final or another one?
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 9:51pm On Aug 10, 2024
It's clear that whenever LeBron is not on the court, the decision making from the US is poor. From Curry to AD to KD. Poor decision after poor decision.

Steph Curry makes shots in the clutch? This is new grin
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 10:24pm On Aug 10, 2024
Imagine doubting steph grin that person whey mention brunson, kyrie and demar may God forgive you.

A part of me wants either the lakers or warriors to break the bank and give us Steph and Lebron on the same team grin

Re: The NBA Begins by etidy:
The NBA has work to do, losing Lebron, Steph and Durant will cause a systemic shock to the league.
These guys are still the faces of the game.
Re: The NBA Begins by BlewMahn: 10:40pm On Aug 10, 2024
Shot after shot after shot, all in the clutch.

Greatest shooter ever liveth.

Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 10:52pm On Aug 10, 2024
So after all the insults steph eventually leads Team USA in scoring in the tournament.

Comparing him to Brunson and kyrie.
Clowns....
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 11:06pm On Aug 10, 2024
Anyway, steph was the best player in this tournament.

Ladies and Gentlemen the GREATEST SHOOTER YOU'LL EVER SEE ON A BASKETBALL COURT.
Re: The NBA Begins by Skrrrrrrr: 11:29pm On Aug 10, 2024
Niggas actually doubled curry for that final shot leaving Durant and Booker totally open.
There's a conversation to be had about how curry is guarded versus other all stars.....
Playing alongside steph leaves people open, and makes scoring a lot easier.
That the Gravity we talking about....
