CuteRedd:
you are shallow in your analysis it’s laughable! I know you are trying to keep up but you are failing in this. Lakers rejuvenated McGee?

Roland17:
Magic steps down as president of basketball operations of the Lakers.

When he was hired I made it clear that it was an emotional decision by the Lakers and his subsequent actions proved me right.

What would be his legacy as an NBA executive though? Bringing an already washed LeBum to LA? Not making the postseason while he was there or how he almost sold the future of the Lakers for pieces of silver in New Orleans?

The guy was all mouth as an executive. This is the best decision the Lakers have made in a very long time.

Take off the Bron hate glasses for a minute...Forgive and pray for the KING

Bringing King James to LA was Magic's biggest amd most successful move. Unfortunately, that was his ONLY noteworthy move.

Everything else was bungled imo. The Lonzo situation was handled badly. Luke should have been let go. Inability to keep deals in the works secret. Constantly showing his hands at the negotiating table.

I love Magic. But just like Jordan, or Dr J or...the best ballers make the worst judges of talent. I have no idea why. Lakers need to run a tight ship...coach needs to go. Leaks in bball operations and front office need to be plugged. Lebron needs to lay low...either be a baller or a social media star.

Ironically, these are the things Pat Riley imposed on the big 3 in miami before LBJ bolted.

Let me borrow Pastor donlittle's mic for a quick sermon:
DONT RUN FROM DISCIPLINE. IT CAN REDUCE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT SIGNIFICANTLY.

You have not done your drama Queen any favors with your post either. You have exposed his contributions and negative impact more than me sef.

donlittle25:
what did you gain from this?

birdman:


Im a super fan, but im objective. Some King James followers follow for reasons beyond bball eg Sharpe shaq. Some haters hate for reasons beyond bball eg Steve a smith, barkeley.

Join us...leave a40 alone in his hate . The King has room for one more

A40:
I heard Giannis declined to be in Space Jam 2. I think I'm completely sold on this kid already

A throwback to the old school ninjas. Not trying to make no friends

donlittle25:
Niggas declining to chill with the king. You either chill while you are ahead, or see yourself become a villain. You hate to see it

Nick young is available.

A40:
I don't know why you would want to chill with him when your aim should be to dethrone him. Especially if you're supposed to be a generational talent like Anthony Davis (in a way that's what would always keep KD out of the GOAT discussion)

I read Giannis's story. The kid is all about the basketball man. He's not here for Hollywood or GQ life

Funny i read his story just a few days back.

The few times ive been to europe, especially the non english speaking countries, you will just see young unemployed black youth chilling like an eyesore everywhere. selling fake trinkets then running once police is near. Honestly they all looked like giannis. dark, tall, bushy hair. Only difference is Giannis found a way out.

Giannis understands poverty in a way an American cannot. The young man appears to have his head on straight. More power to him.

I was impressed by the recent poll results that showed 73% of players currently think MJ is the GOAT. You would notice that the players who actually play this game are unanimous about who the GOAT is both present and retired. It's so-called analysts that will always have contrary opinions

Secondly why y'all do my boy Russ like this?

Roland17:
The NHL playoff is here.

Consecutive seasons without making the postseason is no joke for my Blackhawks. We need to go into the draft with a different direction. I think the core of Kane and Toews can still good runs as shown in the pursuit of the wildcard spot but they ran out of energy and burst because we relied heavily on both. We need to find a way to continue to help DaBrincat who was my player of the year to continue to grow so he can become that 3rd corner piece.

@A40 people hating on westbrooks triple dubs . I have to say though, WB's stats dont have the effect that a triple double should.

So I went and looked it up. It turns out Westbrook is top 10 in rebounds. Top 5 in defensive rebounds, but not in the top 50 for offensive rebounds . So those rebounds are not carrying the weight the should...there should be a healthy mix of 2 or 3 OREB in 10 total rebounds for a center/forward.

This means Westbrook is more really a double double guy, 20pts, 10 assists. Still rock solid, all star material. But not the type of rating the triple dubs are giving him

Roland17:
@A40

You no dey watch the NHL playoff? Your Pengs are struggling with the forecheck of the Islanders. How about the lightening surrendering a 3 goal lead and lose to the Jackets. I Dey enjoy the early upsets.

Since my Blackhawks are on vacation, I Dey support my usual.. Any team that has P.K Subban

SmooshCHN:
Is it just me or this D Wade thing is too much? Kilode Nah!!! How would it now be if LeBron is retiring?? Or if na LeBron do all these serenren the haters will swarm him like bees even though he deserves times 5 of this D Wade thing. Anyways, one thing I'm for is how this is all in Paul Pierce's face. I always wanted him come out like the mumu That he is since that day he said the Celtics shouldn't play Isaiah Thomas's tribute video on his Jersey night. The fans are not letting him have it easy and E sweet my belle die.
