But Embiid cried and nobody died

The ref review gonna need a ref review

Hardenesque, one might say

Albeit a weak one, the Grizz were the #2 seed in the West last season, just saying

Wait until the playoffs (or pandemic) then he’s like a 41.6 TS% solid don’t matter who on or off, that’s what I call consistency

Ben Taylor has Hakeem at #5, Wilt about #9 and Curry and Dr J in the late-teens, I believe-ish. Ben has KG (1-1 in the Finals) tied with Duncan for #7-8. I think he has Shaq at #6. MJ going something 1-1 in the Finals would put him in that #5 Hakeem territory… although I would love to live in a world where the debate would still be MJ vs LeBron for the GOAT spot even if one or both only had 1 ring

“tons of people” = your uncles’ uncles in Chicago

Then they coast again in 1994…

Crazy that LeBron won 66 games in 09 tho with THAT team! LeBron WAS NOT COASTING in 2009, I promise you that Coast God!

Pippen went to Cleveland. Instead the Bulls got Kenny “the Jet” Smith. Otherwise, the rosters can be imagined as basically the same. MJ does a whole lot of losing in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds of the playoffs, no longer the GOAT God

Are you trying to say that LeBron hitting 40k points will be the next Y2K moment in world history, homeskillet?

Memphis should keep the Grizzlies, but Vancouver should get a team back along with Seattle and Vegas

Dude needs to get out of the 2nd round, even Known Choke Artist LeBron had gotten out of the 2nd round only 5 times and won only 2 rings by age 28 (poor performance), I need something more than the MVP using Simmons and Harden as excuses to get elimated in the 2nd round. I mean if a Known Choker only did that by age 28, and Embiid hasn’t even done 1/10th of that, what are we talking about here? Is Embiid like the 111th best player on the GOAT list? That’s far down from LeBron at #17 (too high I know)

It turns out that having Durant and Booker as teammates changes ones plus-minus, I was curious about that

A star in his role!

I have KD ahead of Kobe on the GOAT list… I think I have KD at #12 and Kobe at #13. I love watching KD, he’s killing it still. I love listening to him talk about hoops, he’s maybe the most insightful player to listen to breakdown the game

He’s Kawhi-et quiting :)

(I already commented on this thread, but this deserved its own, oh my god posted on a thread twice… twice as nice… get caught up in my blade, might get diced)

Kawhi bossed out after load managing half of last season into a non-contact injury after 1 full playoff game. After that Toronto championship, he’s chillin like lil b TYBG wearing the same vans for 10 years now, he stopped giving a fuck, thank you based whi, he gave us enough greatness for 5 entire careers and then was like fuck it I’m rich bitch

Playoff P in mid-season form.

(See what I did there? ;)

As a prison abolitionist, I don’t believe that it helps people or society to outright ban an individual from their profession unless the crimes they commit are extraordinary. I actually don’t think banning people and harshly punitive sanctions do anything to actually help rehabilitate Bridges himself, or help his family or anyone involved. Bridges’ wife came out in his defence this summer, which shows how complicated these issues really are for the two of them as perpetrator and victim.

In restorative justice, the idea is that accountability is a process that involves the victim and their wishes, with great care. I can’t speak for Bridges’ wife or her family, but their voices matter more than mine or yours do, regarding this specific matter.

We all want what is best for Bridges and his family and his kids, in the end. I repeat, WE ALL WANT THE BEST FOR THEM GOING FORWARD. Personally, in my opinion, I don’t think the best outcome for him and his family, including his children, will happen by banning him from the NBA for life.

Reggie and Dame are all-time shooters, but I would take Ray over them
