Have been watching giannis games

My God no hype that guy is epic

Put that guy in a team with a few all stars and even Jordan himself would be worried


He is only 24

I dont see him leaving bucks at all

I fear for the lakers when they start playing teams that are actually good. SMH


That defense of theirs seems to have vanished and their offense is just shameless at this point given the talent they have on that end.


LeBron having to play high minutes in these games is not encouraging at all.
clippers were able to pull out wins without both their star players playing

I dont see the Lakers doing it

It's the painful truth

Kuzma has to really really step up


Last 2 games both AD and LeBron had to over exert themselves

Ben "4 points" Simmons. Seems the Philly faithfuls are not worried though as they say He does other things that does not show up on the Score sheet i.e Elite Playmaking and Defense.

At this point, maybe it's about time we all admit unless things drastically changes, that "MVP Potential" most thought He had isn't simply going to come to fruition. He is currently towing the Andrew Wiggins path.

Wiggins needs to be the first or second scoring option on his team. His growth was stunted by the acquisition of Butler. He should be all-star calibre by now.

It's Markelle Fultz that has been a disappointment.

KarnBarlow:

Thought of what? That you have a disingenuous and mendacious disposition? I guess you're right, I should know what you are by now. I'm not back tracking seeing as you're alluding claims to me i ever made but invented of your own lunacy.
Let me know when you're done bloviating and moonwalking past your previous arguments

KarnBarlow:

Again that poor knowledge of socio economic concept shows. Comparing the opulence of a region with a population less than 8 million to one with a population over a billion. Of course per capita wise a region like that will have an edge given its relative head start to other chinese regions. Now the fact that even with these factors mainland china has enjoyed a more buoyant economic growth within this period is nothing short of remarkable. Like i said, i dont expect you to appreciate that so if you're trying to show some form of economic superiority stemming from hong kongs system you have no idea what you're talkig about.
You're so spectacularly obtuse sometimes I wonder why I even bother. You talk as if Hong Kong's opulence is down to its population and not down to the economic activity and ports that made it a financial hub. You had no business bringing up mainland China's economic turnaround as it is not germane to the discussion as to whatever system HK had been running from time immemorial

Whatever mainland China has been able to do is completely unrelated to this subject matter but you're too dense to see it

KarnBarlow:

You saying this has nothing to do with the west sums up how confused you are. Was it not the west that seceded hong kong from the Qing dynasty in the first place? All this talk of reneging and tampering with what rightfully belongs to them? And where is this manufactured faux outrage coming from? africa? who has been fanning the flames in these regions? this guy really said it has nothing to do with the best. Bruh, just leave this issue alone and cover your head in shame. You are embarrassing yourself.
Shut up! Nobody is here for your nonsense history lesson. Is the Qing dynasty still in existence? Hong Kong was a spoil of war for the Brits so I don't know why you're bringing up past tense.

Any objective and reasonable human with basic decency will expect agreements and established laws between two parties to be honored. Mainland China is reneging on that and the citizens of HK are rightly pushing back. This is not even a fight for secession as you foolishly alluded to earlier.

Stop making this about the West and exposing your ignorance even further you abominable Muppet

KarnBarlow:

Good, its a charitable donation, one that will change millions of lives in the long run and one that would not have happened without him. Like i said, only a bronsexual will even attempt to take that away from him.
No one is saying that you pathetic Bronsexual. I am saying he made it about him when better informed people know taxpayers are also making it happen

KarnBarlow:

Oh so now its not our place when you literally just tried to compare his contributions to that of lebron. because you realize how senseless it is? Well known for not publicizing when you just quoted a donation of his? by that logic i can simply claim lebron has many more donations he hasnt publicized. And its not just about financial contributions, its about speaking up on the myriad of issues that plague the community that holds him so dear, that sees him as a deity. And if you are denying his frugal nature heres what his friend Barkley has to say
Your ability to process and understand is abysmal. I brought up MJ's charity work as a retort to buffoons like you who claim he does nothing in the community. Neither you or I are privy to their accounts so there is no way anyone can categorically tell who gives what. Not that it even matters because they both worked hard to make their wealth and are entitled to spend it how they both please.

It is foolish in your part to conclude either person gives less or more because there is absolutely nothing you can prove

Speaking up on issues? What has that ever solved? Anyway I don't blame you you're the typical black who is moved by noise and audio activists. When it was time for LeNomad to actually speak up we saw how he spoke up. For his $$

KarnBarlow:

"I always give homeless people money and [MJ will] always slap my hand and say, ‘If they can ask you for spare change they can say ‘Welcome to McDonald’s, can I help you please?'”

How ignorant, as if homelessness is simply caused by joblessness.
Ever heard of the phrase, 'Give him money this week and next week he's broke'

If that's your definition of frugality then you're far far more stupid than I ever assumed. How many homeless people will Charles Barkley be able to give money? What happens when the money runs out? Sheesh! You're just an utter waste of my time.

KarnBarlow:

LOL You tried to compare his accomplishments to someone who holds over 100 NFL records and when you failed you tried using team accomplishments as is expected of you lot. That jordie shore mafia logic.
Shut up! It's a team sport. This is not the damn combine, this is not track and field you buffoon!! Any individual accomplishment outside the context of team is limited in it's usefulness.

You have seen the image of Tom Brady's individual accomplishments and how it led his team to 9 Superbowls and 6 Superbowl rings. If you choose to bury your head in sand like an ostrich that's your personal problem

KarnBarlow:

LMAO, Again, i have stooped low enough already. Like i said, i loathe the little man and actually like ronaldo but If anyone can watch messi and ronaldo, read their stats and somehow still come away with the conclusion that ronaldo is better he needs a mental institution not Ersan.
Ronaldo is better. Choke on it

What an eediot. It's like someone saying you cant compare Prince to MJ. Everyone with their preference but to say they can't be compared just like Ronaldo and Messi is asinine

This guy, i told you to consider a career in stand up. I really dont even know where to start. Its easier for less populated regions to grow. You tried to claim hong kong had some financial superiority due to their system and only someone extraordinarily naive will make that claim let alone try to downplay the role of population in sustainable growth. You cant compare a country like Qatars economic prowess which has a population of less than 3 million with a country like japan which has an advanced economy and though continues to experience deflation has been able to experience growth in the most difficult stage of economic growth, the innovation driven stage. But heres the thing genius, Qatar per capita wise is more opulent than Japan. Japan BTW has a population of over 100 mil and its resources are spread far thinner but its economy is a lot more impressive. I've tried to use the simplest terms I know so I hope you understand the ridiculousness of what you're stipulating. Its not just down to "economic activity and ports" thats gibberish. And as far as that Its about understanding what stimulates this economic growth and makes ports flourish.

This has everything to do with China seeing as you tried to portray their system as inferior in relation to Hong Kong in terms of economic prosperity.

Yes you heard right. Most Analysts and scouts thought it was only a matter time before He claimed an MVP. That He has stagnated(all entirely His fault btw) does not negate that fact.

Normally i don't bother replying people too scared to quote me directly but i will make this exception. What possible reason could there be when one player is superior to the other in every single way? Like i said, I despise messi, i liked cr7, i dissented but at this point if you think ronaldo is better than messi its either you're madder than a box of frogs or you're infatuated with him. Its that simple.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:40pm On Nov 24, 2019
In discussing the heaviest puncher of all time that sentimentality and revisionism shows again. A lot of people say "Mike Tyson". Yes Mike Tyson will probably flatten Wilder if they fought, more technically sound, all round better boxer. But the idea that tyson is the heaviest puncher of all time is laughable, tyson relied on flurries on the inside and the timing and accuracy of his shots. A heavy hitter yes but the heaviest? Heck Foreman and Shavers hit harder than him. But we've never seen anything like wilder whose right hand is the kiss of death. He doesnt need to fully connect or land flush, he grazes you, sometimes even through your glove and you go down. Its extraordinary. Of course expect the old men to come out shouting Mike Tyson, FOH! I'm tired of these people acting like its sacrilege to mess with their nostalgia.

I don't know maybe because I was never really a fan of Ben Simmons game so I might have lacked a bit of objectivity. I didn't see any Magic or LeNomad in him. He's not a dynamic scorer that can take over games for one

Maybe a light skinned, taller version of Rajon Rondo or Jason Kidd if Jason Kidd couldn't shoot (which he couldn't initially in fairness)

But my rookie of the year for example was Donovan Mitchell
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:00pm On Nov 24, 2019
What is the matter with this buffoon! So if I don't feel Simmons has MVP potential does it mean the statement lacks credibility? I just don't see anything MVP about Ben Simmons and thus far I have not been proven wrong. How is this simple concept so difficult for this douchegoblin to grasp

He was already a very good Facilitator and Defender and with His somewhat high BBIQ, everyone thought it was only a matter of time. Alas No.

Kidd's development somewhat gives me hope that maybe all is not lost but then again Kidd was simply a terrible shooter not a Non shooter when He came into the league.

Before the Lakers injury he was average. Still is.
What has the Lakers got to do with Fultz?
I doubt you know what or who you're talking about here.
T.O.S is not your average basketball injury. You basically have to learn how to shoot a basketball again. I know you want to sound like you have hot takes but James Harden will play like Harrison Barnes if he had the same injury. If he had the same opportunity like Mitchell, Lonzo, then you're free to call him a disappointment.

Give Doncic the MVP award already.

Lol, sorry. Didn't know when that popped in. I meant before the injury. You could tell he'd be a decent NBA player and that's all.
