This is so hard.

Which team would you pick?

any team curry is in. I could never go wrong picking my *own* GOAT.

steady986:
How can one man be hated this much? I mean, I know greatness comes with a little criticism, but this is just outrageous. Jordan never received this much hate. The haters will say bs like "it's because of his fans that we hate him so much", but that's just giving a useless excuse to continue in your baseless hate.

People on this thread would legit commit suicide if LeBron wins the championship and wins another MVP to match their forced goat, MJ.

man, lebron is great! Am a gsw fan and my God, that guy? I think to me, he contributes to winning more than any superstar past or present . He can do everything(his free throw shooting is a bit shaky), but i got no gripes with that man.

benji93:
Kerr better play him on minute restrictions. . No joke at all.

just ecstatic, man. He's back!!!

SmooshCHN:
More likely to be Houston in second round. I don't mind o. True.. I've not been following the standings at all. I can't stand it.

D ...I can totally relate. Its very jarring seeing gsw last.

Roland17:
Congratulations to the “Great 8” Ovi for scoring his 700th goal, such a historic landmark.
#RIP24

going for the Wayne Gretzky record!

SmooshCHN:
Man
That's all we could get for D'Angelo Russell??
I don't even know if I should be angry we got Harrison Barnes v2.0 or be happy we happy we're getting picks and clearing Cap space for a serious F.A next season.

like seriously that's all? I was actually thinking we would wait till when curry comes back and see how they would look together. Whats the play here??

Skepticus:


After 23, came 8

After 8, came 6

Only my basketball goons can figure it out!

RIP Black Mamba

mj, Kobe, lebron

So the other burnt houses were inhabited by worshippers of the Devil? Abi you want to tell me the probability of another RCCG fellowship building being among the burnt buildings isn't feasible? RCCG churches/houses for fellowship are abundant in Lagos like sand. You can find at least 2 in every street ... Before you start singing unwarranted praises to your daddy G.O

its not about Daddy G.O or anything. I know rccg members have a bit of a cult worship going on with him...which should not be encouraged tbh, but this is about God!

Roland17:


Kershaw is a serial chocker in the post season, don’t get me wrong, he is a beast in the regular season but if it possible to sit him in the post season, I will at this point because his post season ERA is horrible.
If Pete Rose gets in then everyone will make arguments for Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens (PED). The Red Sox were heavily involved bro, in 2018, they illegally used video replay rooms to steal signs.

maybe Kershaw reputation In the post season would not be this bad if he maybe they didn't know his pitches beforehand. I know he had that all time meltdown against nationals, BT...astros and red sox? He did play them in consecutive world series. The dominoes effect of this sign stealing makes you question a lot of things.

Roland17:


How about A. Cora and the Red Sox? I am even more disappointed in that one because he knew better! I love the game of baseball and like I said earlier, Manfred and the MLB have put a lot of effort in curbing these scandals but some guys are just insufferable cheats. I will support any punishment on the players and I don’t even mind stripping the teams involved of their World Series title. I wonder how Pete Rose feels right now!

Cora? Hes the worst!!! He was like the mastermind behind the whole thing. And Manfred has been pretty adamant about not punishing players. My guy(Clayton Kershaw) could have had a ring by now if not for that sign stealing astros. I don't think the red sox were involved tho' and pete rose? Get that man in the hall of fame- betting ain't sign stealing.

Roland17:
These guys just continue to find ways to drag the beautiful game of baseball back to the dirt. The MLB has done an impressive job in reducing the use of steroids and beating scandals and I can imagine it must be frustrating for true lovers of the game to see another play calling scandal.

the astros? Such a disappointment! I liked that team and especially altuve, but with all thats going now; it puts a lot of their accomplishments- especially the world series in question.

Khanben:


Which kind of wins, do you mean games or SBs.

SBs of course. Only favre has one also, so its maybe a toss-up between them and I would go with Brett favre even with his 300 plus interceptions...

A40:
Ok I don't accept he's top 5. That one nko

I have Brady, Montana, Manning, Elway, Favre ahead of Rodgers. I for add Marino but he has no rings

exactly! Rodgers is not top 5 IMO. Wins have to come into play also...if we were talking maybe who had the highest ceiling as a QB? Rodgers would be top!

A40:
You're overreacting here. They led the entirety of the game which made it unnecessary to require any type of passing game.

The Ratbirds didn't score a touchdown till midway through the 4th and so since they were not chasing the game the sensible thing to do was to keep feeding Derrick Henry. And when you're armed with a power back you have to keep feeding him the ball till the defense can't take the pounding no more.

Did you see what he did to Earl Thomas who was flapping his gums all week? One stiff arm and he was spinning in the opposite direction. These guys after some time start making business decisions and literally refuse to tackle this man. Tannehill does not need to do anything crazy or heroic. He's a competent QB who just needs to keep it simple where required. Wilson was a 'game manager' when the Seahawks won, Peyton Manning was even worse

earl thomas got what he deserved!!! Lmao. And to the Peyton manning/wilson comparison, they had all time great defense; legion of boom- bobby Wagner, Sherman, kam, cliff avril, thomas et al. and for the denver broncos- von miller, demarcus ware and elite pass rushers and cornerbacks have always provided more value to winning than a RB. My point is I don't think you can win that way if your defense ain't all time!

Roland17:


Make no mistake about it bro, D. Henry is the best running back in the league as of today! LB and safety’s are scared of tackling him because he just bullies you or stiff arms you out of the way. This is no fluke because this is how he has been playing all season especially since Tannehill arrived Tennessee, not saying Tannenhill is a great QB.
I would also give big credit to the O& DLine coaches. That O&DLines beat both the Patriots and Ravens at the line of scrimmage. The Ravens were 0-3 in 4th & 1 conversions! That is beast mode from the D Line. They made my boy look very ordinary and exposed a lot of his weakness, they did the same thing to Patriots. This Titans team remind’s me of the 2017 Jaguars under D. Marrone with L. Founette as RB and horrible B. Bortles as QB.

i know how surreal Henry is! And that offensive line? Sheesh! My reservations are about the QB. You have to be a do more than 7 passes for 88 yards. There is less of a margin of error with this offense. Teams could at least in theory slow King henry, and force tannehill to beat them In the air. then what?

A40:
Yards are the most overrated and inflatable stat anybody looking at a box score can observe.

They led from wire to wire so no need to pad stats with vanilla yards ala Dak Prescott to try and mask a mediocre performance. The important thing is they ran the ball, Ryan didn't turn it over and he made big throws when it mattered

i get. But it speaks to a certain lack of confidence In your QB when the team runs the football this much... 30 carries? The best teams are the ones who have always been able to do both! It shows a lot about your offense and how predictable it is...vrabel has been a doing a Phenomenal job with the play calling tho'. tannehill job has practically been- "get out of way and let henry cook, and maybe don't make a mistake". A game manager! And am trying to remember when a team has won a super bowl with a Qb like that in this era. Joe flacco? He was cold as ice in their 2012 superbowl... 11 touchdowns, no picks.

Roland17:
D. Henry is a problem!! The man is impossible to stop when he runs and now he is throwing touchdowns?

right? 195 yards! Oof. But is this sustainable? And In a passing era? Maybe in the 1990s, it would feel more convincing cos how the game was structured; a running back contributed more value to winning. Emmitt smith did win a superbowl MVP(he did have troy aikman and Irvin), but with a ryan tannehill as your QB(did throw a 2 touchdowns, but 88 yards? Lol) .

hopismo2000:
In Islam, Men are seen as representative of God on earth and because of this fact and more Almighty Allah made men a little bit of independent, in the sense that they can easily mould someone into their type of person while women most times are sentimental in their choice of whom they want or thought want them, Thus a Muslim man can marry a Christian if he is vast in islamic principles, if he feels they have many things in common that's characteristics that's expected of a Muslim like truthfulness, dedication to God and agrees to be a muslim etc. he's strong enough to mould her and make her a good muslim, this is even a very big task, and because of these, most knowledgeable Muslims men usually prefer muslim women because the work is less compared to a Christian....

male chauvinist spotted! Sheesh! That mind of yours? Needs serious renewal! Cant imagine someone talking like this! Wow!

Khanben:


The saints need to do in the draft next this year what both the Ravens and the Seahawks did last year and that is draft a speedster with good hands to take the top off the defense.

yea. They do have a first round pick, so jeudy/Ruggs...Great WR prospects and that Oklahoma guy, lamb...you can't go any wrong with any of these guys. Strongest WR class in years IMO.

A40:
Maybe not long term but he can work in the interim. Bridgewater will play within his limits and would be less likely to lose his team the game.

More importantly he's younger and knowing his limitations would allow for the Saints to use Taysom Hill even more. The Vikings and pretty much every other team in the league don't have an answer for the guy. I was shocked Sean Payton went away from him

Bigger than the Brees matter is their corners. I don't know if they ever make a SB with those corners as I struggle to remember any game they have come up with a key stop where needed

lattimore is a good CB IMO. There is something off about the team that I can't put a finger to. Maybe its brees? Wilted something bad...a fumble? I don't know. You have a no 1 receiver who's unguardable, a sean payton, kamara was not healthy this season tho, something has to give...and they were unlucky this season...13-3? And still play a wildcard game?

Khanben:
Deshawn Watson is a god. The Texans tdon't deserve that guy, what a QB.

he pulled a Houdini on that-should-be sack.

Eruditor:


GSW don't have the right to choose who they want in their video but KD has the right to be petty?

So if they ask SC the best SF he has ever played with in the NBA he should say Lebron since it is his choice?

Curry did not agree with KD. He took the high road. He did not want to appear petty. That is the difference.

The points KD made don't need to be egregious to you. They were not to me either. They were rubbish though and petty. That does not mean I agree with leaving him out of the video but that will be my explanation for why they did. There is a difference.

At the end of the day. If I put on rose-coloured glasses. Everything I see will be red. So KD can never be wrong to you and that is perfectly fine.

the double standard? Sheesh. Its just part envy and part awe over all we achieved.

DeeMain:


So many GSW fans have now joined the KD is a snake and villain and was gifted rings bandwagon all of a sudden because KD criticized aspects of their tactics or because they have to defend a fallible management by all means by hook or crook?

Won him 2 rings. Lol. Same narrative you all have been attacking in his defense with your souls all these years.

Smh.

Fanhood will make a riveting subject of research in our Ivory towers.

Interesting times.



,

i meant the system he criticized after he left won him 2 rings...that meant it worked, even with all the hoopla about him practically saying otherwise. He got a lot out of it the whole thing....the lore, the rings, championship pedigree. And we also did too, but you don't see any of our players talking about him in anyway that's unseemly. Just don't say anything and leave, its your choice, but, no, you had to justify why you left.

Roland17:


What exactly has he said? In all his interviews or interactions he had always said positive things about playing for the Warriors so this has absolutely nothing to do with KD. Baba has been very quiet and has stayed away from the limelight.
If Warriors hierarchy can treat a player of such importance like this why should I believe their story on how they managed his injury then?

always? Lmao. How the system doesn't work?(won you 2 rings!!!)The same system he talked glowingly about? Why it was the main reason he wanted to join and that he was tired of isos? He said a lot of things right after he left. Rachel nichols had to interview steph about it. You should look it up. Not a good look for gsw, but don't make the guy the victim, martyr of this story, he's not...

steady986:

that's fair. I don't understand this kawhi epidemic going around...people are just so in love with him, they ignore so many red flags. Maybe its more about always looking for the next man to dethrone lebron james.

Autotech312:



Oga stop making fool of yourself' in the name defending what is not defendable...even God admitted in the Quran that Bible have been tampered with...check very well in the Bible between Isaac and Ishmael which one is the senior and which is younger, it is clear that Ishmael was the senior but in the Bible it said otherwise I mean in two different chapters. Read your Bible very U'll see what I'm saying. If you don't know just keep quiet. I have more if you want.

>: . Am just amazed by the level of ignorance displayed here ..like seriously? Ishmael was born way before Isaac...13 years before Isaac. When Abraham was 86 and Isaac when Abraham was 99 years old...all In the bible. P.s Quran is not the standard to which you hold the bible...lmao. Like at all. Its like laughable sef. Quran? With all mumbo-jumbo and incoherent words?

Roland17:


Kerr’s strategy was simple, double Harden from the top, force him to give up the ball and it worked.

exactly! 19 fg and made half. Is that it? Would that work every time? Especially in high leverage games? Hmm. Maybe...

SmooshCHN:


I saw the fear in Westbrook's eyes from the second quarter. Dude probably shot like 4/43.

The funny thing is instead of the Rockets facing real issues, they'll come out with some bullcrap analysis and excuse.

. Man, Westbrook? Such a flawed, flawed player! What are their issues? That your 2nd best player is practically a non-shooter, that he has no business taking 3s in a match...taking 5/6 avg and making 22%. Yikes.

SmooshCHN:
I can't remember screaming watching a Warriors regular season game. It's been a while. Feels good

. Am like hyper right now...we won!!!

Roland17:


Did you say peak years? It’s nothing to be ashamed of for the GOAT because Father Time respects no one. He has put the work in and as he ages, the team has to be realistic with how much his body can take, so why not reduce the load? The GOAT has done everything there is to be done and achieved everything from multiple pro bowl nominations, Super Bowl mvp and the Super Bowl.. there is nothing left but you can not question his hunger.
Don’t forget, this is not a high power offense like a D. Brees enjoys with the Saints. I am mentioning Brees because he is the only QB in Rodgers age bracket that is still heavily involved in his offense. Brady now defers to Sony Michelle, it is natural and nothing bad..

yes, his peak years- 2010-2016. That period could stand up with any Qb in any era. He was surreal...passing rating of 122.5 in 2011 season and some of the throws he made? Smh. Am a fan, man. On that saint offense, "enjoys? Drew brees makes that offense what it is. see the spike in yards and ratings when Bridgewater played compared to brees. he is the offense! And michael thomas of course.

Roland17:


I hate to agree that he has not been spectacular but I am not going to agree based on a metric like the QBR. That being said he is still the baaaaaaaaad man who is has always been. As he ages and under a new coach he has transitioned into a system that reduces the load on him by making the running game an integral part of our offensive schemes.

QBR takes into account everything from completions to turnovers and how a QB impacts winning. IMO, I think it does a good job of depicting the overall impact of a QB and lmao...the GOAT is reduced to a game manager! His peak years?. Sheesh! Some of the highest of any QB, but I think he's past his prime

Roland17:


How dare you Stop being disrespectful to the GOAT! We are now tied with the 49ers for 1st place in the NFC. Besides you can’t swap those positions.
Nobody wants to say it but I will. What exactly has Ezekiel Elliott done this season to get a pro bowl nod ahead of Jones?

aaron rodgers has just been meh this season. Qbr-52.2. 21st o...are we gonna call it or pretend as if hes still the baaaaaaaaaaaaad man that he was?
