The NBA doing Harden what they did Kobe.

Highlight of the night...John Wall

Harden for MVP.

Hardetayour:
Lmao. CP3 was a fucking non factor. End that shit.

Kawhi would have willed his team to one game max cos those other players were farmers.

I don't expect you to say anything different

Hardetayour:
LOl. Cavs were injured 2017 and 2018 abi. Injury limited Golden State in 2016.

Yu really don't know anything

Dumbass, were Kawhi and CP3 injured in 2017 and 2018 on GS road to the final or not?

A40:
I don't recall anyone suggesting Kyrie was an A-SIDE. What I showed you was what Kyrie contributed to that victory which LeNomad fans always go out of their way to reduce.

The Boston situation it's pretty clear there was no chemistry there. This was a team that literally played better without him. However that's neither here nor there

What is pertinent to note is that Kyrie Irving averaged 30pts per game the last 3 games Cleveland won and shot 16 fewer shots than LeNomad

Like I noted before, Kyrie did well, but LeBron was still the man in that finals. 79 rebounds to 27, 62 assists to 27, 16 blocks to 5, 18 steals to 15. Look at that.

SmooshCHN:
It's simple at this point. You either have comprehension issues or just choose to act like you do. I won't even bother with you.

Like I said, anything any team is doing this off season, including the Lakers, they're doing it to level up with the cheat team that GS are.

SmooshCHN:
A legal but shocking move. Legal is the word here. It's barely 3yrs now and these hypocrites switched from advocating for Bron, Wade and Bosh to hating the warriors and KD who were not a 'worthy' 73-9 win team as we were told (and also really good at choking and blowing a finals lead) for perfecting a move Bron started and then switched back to advocating Bron, AD and whoever all star available. One called it advocating for parity.

The double standard is daunting.

What are you even saying? The Lakers don't already have a third superstar and you're already using it to make your point. Wait till the superstar arrives then you can start blabbing.

DeeMain:
CuteRedd, there is a reason why the whole basketball world was shocked by that KD's move to the Warriors. Analysts call it the most shocking move in basketball history.

A 73-9 record breaking team and the second best player in the NBA joining them. An almost unplayerable team already. Haba! Think am nah!

There is no precedence to such in NBA history. Period.

Man, that move is the equivalent of Malone joining the Bulls to team up with Jordan and Pippen. Or Hakeem joining the Bulls.

darkelf:
Noisemaker.

Lebron couldn't win but you take solace in the fact that GSW lost with injuries to key players
Is that how salty you are? I expect better from someone who claims to know and love the game.

I'm glad that the GSW dynasty has become one where a loss make our enemies masturbate all night long. It shows that we are the gold standard of basketball.

Looooool. I don't ever want to see Golden State, loss and injury used in the same sentence. You guys have benefitted from injury basically for all your rings. Lol. E say injury.

Hardetayour:
Lol. You that just entered here 2 weeks ago is asking this kinda question. The Emanator.

OK

Hardetayour:
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Bleep outta here mehn.

Where did this one emanate from?

SmooshCHN:
Was wondering what y'all were thinking looking for a 3rd superstar when Kuzma was there. But nah! You needed one more in Kawhi/Kemba/Kyrie needs to jump on the ride too. Right?
It's that double standard. You can't hide it.

We're trying to bring about parity in the league, seeing that GS might retain KD

KarnThornheart:
LOL! You want to waste your time arguing with nincompoops and halfwits who cant understand simple logic? Cant be me, already planning how to get to the lakers parade next year and how badly i'm going to troll GSW tank machine.

These people don't want to enjoy their final loss in peace, trying to blame the whole world for their downfall.

CuteRedd:
They bashed KD but see nothing wrong with Lebron bringing in AD and possibly another All star. Lebron hasn’t won any chip without 3 all stars!!! Pathetic double standards!

Lol. Y'all don't get it. KD teamed up with the best team in the league. AD is teaming up with the worst team in the west in the past 5 years.

CuteRedd:
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.

Easy sweetheart, you don't wanna go down that road with me. If Curry was triple teamed then he has teammates to pass the ball to, instead of trying to dribble his way out or taking a bad shot. At least that's what LeBron would do, that's why he has averages a higher number of assists than Curry who's a point guard.

A40:
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

Lol, how well did Kyrie do in this year's playoffs? Can't you see that his big brother wasn't there to support? It is what it is bro, let's not fight it.

A40:
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

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.

A40:
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

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.

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.

A40:
Lol you don't want to go there. Come postseason no one had as much help to win as LeNomad

Next time a Bronsexual tells you LeNomad delivered the chip to Cleveland all by himself. Show them the second image below.

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.

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

Eruditor:
Is that not what I told you from the jump?

Did I not also mention that since Curry's teams usually led comfortably, 0-9 in such moments compared to how many wins/games is a small sample space.

But you were arguing like a reckless buffoon.

What do you mean lead comfortably? How many comfortable leads did they have in this years playoffs? Even against Portland that they blew out. Your argument doesn't hold water my friend. Even LeBron's teams have had some comfortable wins too.

At least your boy should have posted a number in that stat. 0 of 9 is just absurd.

Eruditor:
You answered yourself and still did not realise you did. Your level of inanity is legendary.

If you miss a shot when the game can still go into OT. The shot is not as high-pressured as it was made to look. For e.g he missed a shot against Portland in the final seconds and went on to get 17 in OT. The stats calling him not clutch are dumb in that instance.

Also, Curry is known to heave shots from the parking lot in the final seconds of games. Against Raptors, he did it in game 6 but the stats will show 0-9 in final seconds even when one, two or three of those are heaves.

Then, he has hit shots that tied a game in the playoffs. Part of where the 3-4 stats came from. Those were not counted. Because...narrative.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpw8FjxBML4

Curry has extended a lead in game 6 vs OKC 2015/16 with a huge 3. It was not counted as well. I can bring more evidence if you are too stupid to find one yourself.

Curry has also been fouled in final seconds of games when he tried to shoot. He made the free throws. Those will not be counted. Yet some other people are 48% from the stripe at such points.

So dumbo986, can you see why I told you to look for someone else to debate with? I don't mean that disrespectfully. You don't measure up at all.

Don't get too excited clown. Perhaps who ever posted that photo earlier meant a go-ahead ahead shot to be a shot to take the lead, which makes perfect sense seeing Curry has none in the last 24 seconds of a playoff game.

SBD whatever he did against OKC, was it in the last 24 seconds?

Eruditor:
I would have been surprised if it was not our resident dullard.

Want to bet the 3-4 stat is for the regular season? LOL.

Which is why I mentioned it. To show the flaw in the stat and the small sample size.

Again I ask, how many playoff games does Curry have? How many wins? If he only had a chance to miss 8 go-ahead shots compared to the amount of wins he had, it means his team won more games before the final 20 seconds than the other players on that list.

Logic is not hard if one has half a brain. Sadly, you don't.

Chai, you don't listen, that's your problem. You always want to argue blindly. Even if he missed the go-ahead shot in the last 24 seconds, there's a whole lot of things that could still happen. The game could remain level and go into overtime, which the warriors could win.
Also, even if he misses, his teammate could have another bite of the cherry before the game ends.

And I forgot to tell you, a go-ahead shot could also be taken when your team has a slight lead as well. You could take a go-ahead shot to extend the lead to make sure of the win.

Curry is 0-8 in all those permutations. Disgrace.

Eruditor:
I am just here to expose flaws in your logic as usual.

How many playoff games does Curry have? If he has the chance to go 0-8 in last 24 seconds of a game, it means his team mostly wins games before that moment compared to some people on that list.

Also, the stat does not show if the shots missed are to win games or tie them. Because he was 3-4 in shots needed to tie and then his team went on to win convincingly in OT which will mean those shots won't get counted as last 20 seconds.

But I'm sleep though.

Some GOATs cant shoot free throws they had been working on since 2003 but they are better than Kobe and Jordan who won more than them.

Once again, your lack of basketball knowledge is clearly showing. You don't know what a go-ahead shot is.

I'll tell you. A go-ahead shot is a shot taken at the end of games, usually to tie or take the lead.

And the 3-4 you're talking about were in the regular season.

Nostradamus:
really!!!why??

Drafts are basically for youngest, say 18 to 24

Nostradamus:
hmmm!!thanks for the reply.am thinking maybe I should pick back my balling dream.i was good when I was younger,a lovely shooting guard, represent my school at nuga.tho,age Don set in small sha.ll

Lol, but there's no point applying for the draft if you're old. Just try and get in the local league, then from there get into Europe. Europe is where most Nigerians are thriving.

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?

Why not? Players get drafted from overseas. But you'll need a whole load of publicity...YouTube videos, twitter hype, an NBA agent or an agent who knows an NBA agent. Even with all that, it might still not be enough.

But even if you apply for the draft and get bounced, it's good publicity. You might end up in the G-league or even in Europe (which ain't a bad thing)
