But there was one that might be bothersome, the zone defense. It was the topic du jour at last month's All-Star Game, and Jordan was making an impassioned plea before the competition committee that had gathered to consider rules changes to enliven the NBA game. Jordan spoke passionately. If teams were able to play zone defenses, he said, he never would have had the career he did."


These revisionist history clowns want to tell us he'll average 50 when he himself admitted he wouldnt be as good? LOL!

CLOWN!

Iggy has gone from calling Curry the second greatest of all time to 2nd/3rd greatest PG of all time. He witnessed the choke! He wont admit it but we know he did.

Eruditor:


Why ask about this year? They played with injuries this year which made games closer. They won Portland game 1 by 22.

Blew out Clippers in game 1 as well.

Lebron's teams have had less blowouts than GSW. Just stop arguing please..

Lol, since you like showing stats, I'd love to see a stat that proves you right

SmooshCHN:
Lmao!!! You're big mad at yourself and a lot of other things we don't know of and you're doing a terrible job hiding it.

stop feeding this dude pls. No one would back down from what they believe about their player. You know he is a troll looking for attention everytime. So why bother?

Let's see the top 50 na. Its possible that they're not the highest if you calculate the total in the top 50

You must be a comedian for sure. 3 of the top 5 shooters from that run came from the Heat and you're talking about top 50. Why not top 500

birdman:
shaq said cupcake era.... we all know who hes talking about

But this era is soft nau. Jokes apart. See proliferation of super teams everywhere. Everybody trying to shortcut their way to a chip even in their respective primes

Only an irredeemable clown will compare the physicality of that era to this Charmin tissue era. The guys that played both ends (Shaq,Ray Allen) have affirmed this so no need for too much argument

I'm guessing this is A40's burner account

Burner account ko Burna boy ni. Lol at my big age I would be running a burner account? If my guys hear I go gats to pay fine

ElDeeVee:


Agreed. D’Antoni’s system can’t win the league since he only cares about one side of the ball. Recent report of problems between Harden and CP will not help them. CP3 is tradeable and they can find the right pieces (not necessarily max players) to contend with the Lakers for the NBA final. One thing I know for sure is that the current roster with D’Antoni in charge will not win the chip.

I want to see where they trade CP3 to. It would have to be to a team trying to offload an equally bad contract because realistically with 3 years of this deal left I don't know a right thinking GM that would trade for Chris Paul right now after seeing him in decline like this

You have 15 points to draft your own squad. Who ya got?

Garnett-Paul-Jordan-KD-Big Fundamental.

This team will not lose one game

SmooshCHN:
All the Warriors did was draft Splash brothers, Draymond and added KD via free agency and they got hated on so much for it by many.. Now these same people are advocating monster moves for the Lakers. Double standard is interesting to watch. We know who's gonna get triggered but it's just facts that the Warriors and KD never did anything wrong. The hypocrites were the problem from the onset as I've always said.

If Kyrie like, let him go back to LA. Warriors will be back and there's no stopping that.

Hypocrites, shameless ones if I might add saw nothing wrong with the Decision where 3 lottery picks in their prime, two of whom were arguably top 5 in the league teamed to form the mother of Super Teams.

My stance has always been if you had no issue with that Decision at the time and the unfair advantage it gave the Heat then unless you're a hypocrite you should have no issues with KD's move either. No point arguing about whose fart stinks worse

Lol, that's one thing with you Jordan and KD fans, you think points are everything in a game of basketball. Look beyond the box score and you might learn something new.

Maifren go and sit down. Everyone knows LeStats is a well known notorious stats hoarder. Even he knows it.

All I care about is dismantling these useless myths and urban legend that LeNomad has ever won jack by himself in this league. In the 3-1 come back series Kyrie Irving dropped 90pts in the last 3 games. That's 30 points per game.

And get this! Kyrie took 16 fewer shots than LeStats

Without those contributions all of LeNomad's usual stats gathering is rendered useless

A40:
You must be a comedian for sure. 3 of the top 5 shooters from that run came from the Heat and you're talking about top 50. Why not top 500

It's highly possible. The next five on the list could be mostly Thunder players, thus your point is invalid.

Lol, again stats could be deceiving. Dou you know that LeBron was double teamed in that series? And therefore Kyrie had too many good looks to open shots. Again, watch the games and analyse them properly and you might learn a thing or two.

Maifren will you keep shut!!! Are you claiming Kyrie never got doubled or what is even the essence of this your useless point. The nerve of this dude, what part of Kyrie's playing style and the kind of shots he makes and takes shows any sensible person that Kyrie relied on open looks.

When another player balls you clowns give LeNomad credit but when the player fails you blame the player. Rubbish

Denver might phuck around and be the new Golden State.

So they have Jokic, Harris, Trey Lyles, Jamal Murray, Monte Morris, Malik Beasley, Michael Porter Jr who should be healthy and then Manute's son as well on mostly cheap deals. Now if they could just offload Will Barton and Mason Plumlee they would be perfect. The issue is what do with Millsap who would be a useful veteran mentor, do they pick up that heavy team option for one year or try to get a marquee FA with that money

Whether he drives to the basket or shoots a midrange, LeBron's presence on the court highly aided it. And no one is discrediting Kyrie here, we know he can ball.

Big Al’s contract situation is one that has got me scratching my head. I can understand Celtics standpoint by offering him 3 years at 33 but the man wants 4 and more money. I really wish we can keep him but it seems that is no longer possible because the man believes he deserves to be paid more and I can fault him. Definitely one player who epitomized what it means to be a Celtic on the floor. With his impending departure, I hope to see more of Robert Williams. The kid just needs some polishing and he will be pretty good.
Kyrie’s situation is one I have been very clear about in the past. It’s not shocking that he would be leaving and it’s purely about contrasting styles and team approach to each game. I still believe he is one of the best players and the best ball handler of his generation. Whenever the announcement happens, I would wish him well and hope he succeeds in his next team.
The Celtic idea is very clear and that is what I hold close to my heart. No one is going to hold the team ransom. It was too risky to lose Tatum to the Pelicans for a rental with no assurances and that is why Ainge pulled the plug. Congrats to the Lakers, they have an exceptional talent if he stays healthy.
I was hoping we go for Little but Romeo is not too bad but definitely needs to bulk up especially since his game is about creating shots with drives and jumpers. Let’s see what we do with the other picks.
#greenrunsdeep

Why do you want to keep Big Al for another 4 years? You guys will have issues when it's time to pay Tatum and Brown. Isn't it better you let him walk and aim for flexibility especially with Hayward's contract on the books.

It's time for Ainge and the Celtics to adjust expectations, retool and face reality. Allow your current crop of young players to evolve naturally and look for solid mid-tier options that can keep the team competitive. If Kyrie leaves give Rozier the starting shirt, keep Mook and you guys should still be in play for a second round appearance at least

Oga Ade don't drag LeNomad in this matter. The sheer volume of shots Kyrie takes tells anyone with a working brain that Kyrie is also accounted for on offense. It's not that Golden State didn't also try to stop Kyrie. They couldn't

If Porter becomes the scorer he can be, Denver will be hard to beat in the next 3 years.

Khanben:

Denver badly need guys that would take shots out of the hands of that bricking merchant Jamal Murray. I'm hoping Porter can be one of those guys this year. Especially as Gary Harris didn't assert himself enough on offense like he should have after he returned.

Barring bizarre injuries I like Denver competing for a top 4 seed again next season. With the Warriors having injury issues who knows maybe another top 2 seed and a deep playoff run

Nostradamus:
The draft was dope. Please I've got one question all..

Is it possible for one who is schooling in nigeria/playing in any of Nigeria's league(dodan barracks, first bank and other naija bball teams)to get drafted directly to the NBA without having to go to college in America?

From Nigerian League? Lol don't even waste your time. Your best bet is going to all these Basketball without Borders camp they hold in SA. If you luck out and get spotted some school might pick you (depending on your age) or at least you wind up in Europe. However anyone interested in any sport and is not actively plotting how to leave Nigeria is definitely not serious enough about it

NOW STATS CAN BE DECEIVING? But you keep bringing up Curry’s stats and refusing to acknowledge how he was triple teamed all through the finals. You reek of double standards and low b-ball IQ.
