Ret.ard, there was a list of 25, I mentioned KD and one other player because of their peculiar situation, which is injury. You're here crying. Or should we put KD at number one through 25? Maybe that would make you happy.

And for you all saying athleticism this, athleticism that, I guess you don't see what has happened to Boogie. This man was regarded as the best big man in the game before his injury, and now he's nowhere near the list of 25. Or is his game based on athleticism like you fools claim? Athleticism my balls.

Did you see DeMarcus before his injury? Does his game not rely on his strength and weight? Does he have the same body type as Kevin Durant? I would've asked if you understood the body system and what load does to the Achilles but unfortunately you will not understand and you're clearly not willing to. KD and Cousins are same height but different weight. And all that weight is loaded on the knees and achilles. That's why the world is begging Embiid to stop acting like a fool to lose some weight and stop eating burgers before games. If you think KD is going be be like Cousins upon return, I'm here to tell you that you'll be wrong. No to sound annoying but I know what I'm saying here.

Take a look at Paul George's injury.. If that happened to DeMarcus, Embiid, Shaq and people of that mass who are overweight and rely on strength to get buckets, they are as good as reserves not even bench players unlike centers like Gobert, Jokic who don't do as much with their body to be effective. The former rely on their weight, strength to do most of their work and I'm not talking catching lobs.

KD and John Wall are not mates in playing style. They don't play the same way. KD would get buckets in a 3X3 feet cos that's all he needs. John Wall would need 10m grin grin. You cannot compare him before or after injury with John Wall who just had a major knee and achilles surgery.

Here's one more if you'll be open minded, anything that takes away LeBron's explosiveness will only be a problem for him bullying his way to the rim but and would only reduce his buckets but he can compensate with his passing abilities. So with or without injury he's still a top 10 player and you cannot compare him to Giannis if they both have the an achilles injury. There's levels to this. LeBron post groin injury last season was still a top 5 player. The argument people will make is that he's declining due to age which could will always be nothing more than an argument no one will win.

Lol. It's now weight, no more athleticism. grin You guys are just ridiculous. If I bring another similarity between them now I'm sure you'll come up with another parameter, probably skin colour or something.

Well, lemme give you a reasonable comparison. Before his own achilles injury, Kobe was still a dominant force, averaging 27.3 points on 46 percent shooting that season.
After the injury: Kobe played 6, 35, and 66 games in the next three seasons before retiring. He averaged 19 points on just 37 percent shooting from the field.

We all know you're just preparing the noose you wan use hang James if he doesn't win a ring the coming year. wink
I agree it is a championship calibre squad in the absence of the warriors as we use to know them.
No no all jokes aside. If you're talking chemistry issues perhaps but from a talent standpoint the Lakers have the best roster in the league by a distance.
If I knew this would be the outcome of players they would land I wouldn't troll them for not getting Kawhi

I repeat Boogie Cousins and Kyle Kuzma are their third best players. Boogie Cousins has the 5th highest scoring average among active players. He's still only 28.

It will be a crying disgrace and a huge stain on LeNomad's legacy if this team doesn't win it all

But there's still a big question mark on Boogie post rehab. Only the season will be able to vindicate him.

Khanben:


The list said in no order bro. Boogie was a top 25 player before injury not a top 10 or even top 15, so it is very visible then after an Achilles injury the drop off in ability will push him out of the top 25 players category.
KD on the other hand is a top 2 or top 3 player depending on your listing. Even if he comes back at 80-85% he will still be a top 25 player.

LOL! Is this clown even serious? So many casuals on this thread.

He had 16 points and 8 rebounds in 25 minutes after Hus injury. If he can continue at that level that will be OK for us. He's not our primary, or even secondary scorer.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:00pm On Jul 11, 2019
John Wall is not the serpent but anyone who claims he wasn't a top 25 player in the league is a fvcking idiot.

Demarcus cousins was arguably the best center in the league before he went down. Anyone who claims he wasn't a top 15 player in the league is also a fvcking idiot! I don't know what the people on this thread are smoking.

I'm done with you here since you know nothing about how the human body works when it comes to how much force you have to use to move your own weight and how this is related to "athleticism". You couldn't comprehend so you think I said weight and athleticism is the same thing and opted for a more stupid comparison.

Imagine thinking Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant have the same playing style. Basic thinking eluded you on this one. I'm not bothered.

The way you're making a case for KD is as if he weighs 150 pounds and floats on the air without stressing himself. As if he does no form of running whatsoever

I quite agree with your argument. Only the times will prove KD's post injury performance level. How one recovers from an Achilles injury is not arithmetic, it is subjective.

I wish KD well though. May he recover fully.

If every other person is healthy even a 80% Boogie would do. Even at a 100% playing with LeNomad, Kuzma and AD would definitely have dropped his numbers anyway. This team as constituted has no excuse to not win the Championship. This team is DEEP

You're definitely not a scientific person and if you are an don't understand what I wrote, it's sad cos your education failed you. A grown man like you should say he doesn't understand rather than make up words or put words in someone's mouth when you can't think and grasp simple explanations. If anyone's averaging 24ppg from an achilles injury, it's KD and I gave explanations and he's not on John Wall level when he returns. Simple.

If you want to act brash and ignorant, that's your problem. grin
