Skrrrrrrr:

I'm sure you don't even know that Durant Has a higher career PPG than LeBron James.
This is someone with 4 scoring titles to Lebrons 1.
Durant scores whenever and however he wants.
Sometimes, I dey feel like say you dey smoke kwale weed before you argue.
Physicity kor, radicality ni...

Skrrrrrrr:
Absolute nonsense.
Non of those guys had the skillset of Durant.
Durants major issue has always been his poor mentality. If he had as much rings as Lebron, despite hopping teams, just as much, he'd be in the Goat conversation. Infact, if he had won his rings with the Thunder, rather than joining the warriors, he'd be ranked just as High as those guys...
The difference between Lebron and Durant, is simply mentality. Carrying a team on your back when it matters most, like he did with the Cavs. Not any nonsense physicality. Physicality or no physical, the goal is to score and Durant does that just as much (better sef, forget longevity) as Lebron.
If Jokic continues in this direction, he'd be in the Goat conversation and he isn't physical...

Khanben:
Question, was Kareem physical? From what I have heard, Wemby's team is trying to go the KAJ route, instead of adding too much muscles, they are going for agility instead. KAJ played at around 205 all his career at 7ft 2in. Wemby can go for the lean, agile 80s style center who don't pump iron.

lol we all just finished watching jokic. He dominated all night during the playoffs to win the championship.

Tim duncan wasn’t athletic and led the spurs to multiple championship. Dirk nowitzki.

These guys dominated and where the best in their days.

Na recency bias they make people put KD higher than these guys.

You no be God o, you no fit determine how far person career go go

Kibbs:
You be God? 😂😂

I no know say you sabi tomorrow

Skrrrrrrr:
Lol. Since when has KDs built been a hindrance?
This is one of the purest scorers in the NBA history.
There are many ways to score, you either go physical and do post ups like Lebron and Giannis, or you have a good jumpshot, the problem with relying on physicality is that, there is always that person who you won't be able to blow by.
KD is highly skilled, he has never needed to be physical.

birdman:
I am yet to watch the kid play a full game. But Im not seeing how his game will translate to the NBA. I feel like he needs some strength and post presence. A player that size will need a defender to believe he is a viable post threat and give him enough room to operate. Well sha, lets see... looks like a good kid in a good organization. Cant beat Pops for character development.

VICTOR WEMBENYAMAAAAAA!

Jordan,Lebron,Kareem et al were not this good at 19.

Khanben:
. I still cannot see how Miami competes in this series. I was talking about them making 3s, but just saw that Denver only shot 29% from 3,which is 10% points lower than their average.

Khanben:
There was nothing of the sort, Miami only have themselves to blame, you only get FTs if you drive to the basket, only Bam was even attempting to try to score from about 8ft in, every other person was just driving to kick out or taking a jumper or shooting the 3 ball.
As for how they will cope, they will only avoid getting swept if their 3 ball starts falling at a high enough clip, they cannot beat the Nuggets with defense because they just don't have the personnel, but they might be able to outscore them if they shoot the way they shot during the Bucks series and the 1st 3 games of the Celtics series.
If not at most this series goes to game 5.

birdman:
Oga rest na, even Lebron is resting. When is fiba sef...wait we didnt qualify? Ahhhh

Khanben:
Jokic is already a better player than Howard has ever been. Jokic is a phenomenal playmaker (top 5 all time in my book), a great scorer and rebounder and an adequate defender. Dwight was an all time great defender and great rebounder. But you couldn't run an offense through him and as a scorer we never got to see him at his very best because he adamantly refused in his prime to play an offense which maximized his ability. In his stint with the Lakers, he was told that his PnR scoring efficiency with Nash was number 1 all-time, and they hoped to increase the number of those sets run, but he refused and wanted the ball in the post because of his stupid feud with Shaq.
So Jokic clears for me and if he wins this title, he is going into top 5 center of all time discussion.

birdman:
I guess everyone is bored now that their teams are out of the playoffs lol

Android17:
The wicked run when nobody is chasing after them.

If you feel you won legitimately you won't be here crying over the series.
