I wonder who will get the most indignant talking head reaction, Carmelo or Vince?
Boomers choking? SHOCK.

T-Mac
but like if Mitch Richmond is in the HOF you cant really scoff at TMac, Melo or Vince.
Yeah it just depends on the year really, not every year is 2009. Eventually there is a weak year and guys like Melo get in.
By diehard Go To PostYeah it just depends on the year really, not every year is 2009. Eventually there is a weak year and guys like Melo get in.2013 was a shitty year for the hall.. GP (biased) might be the only guy who deserved to go in..
I think Melo has to go in eventually, but he's behind a few from his era
I was always on that bandwagon but after watching Bernie & Ernie 30 for 30 it would be a crime if King wasn't in.
By blackace Go To PostIf Bernard King is in the HoF then you gotta put Melo in..

King was an incredible talent who was better than his stats show and a lot of that is his fault.. I mean I would put him the Hall before the Mummy and KC Jones (as a player)...
Just the fact that he had came back from all those injuries and averaged 28ppg and made the all star team as a 34 year old was amazing. The way he scored so effortlessly reminds me of Durant in a way.
People don't give him credit for how efficient he was as a scorer (not particularly the Bullet years but in general)
The thing that really lowers his value for me is that he was not all that good at any other facet of the game... He stated out like a Grant Hill SF and it was like he just gave up on anything that required hustle after he left NJ

First season without Kobe....I don't know bruhs, I just don't know.
Also someone calculated that it's been 64 days since the end of the finals and it'll be 64 days til opening night.
We're as far removed from NBA ball as we possibly can be right now 😑

By The Frankman Go To PostIt's a shame the NBA never got grizzled bearded Kobe…
This is the only thing I thought of.
bearded kobe is sexy.
he's aiming to be a media mogul isn't he?
in the next generation of children, they'll only know the Businessman Kobe Bryant, and not the top 5 all time NBA player.
smh.

By Adam Blade Go To PostWhen did Kabro turn into cloudy?smh Adam, unlike Konex, I've praised, mocked and criticized Kobe.
check my stats.
By pilonv1 Go To Post8/24 Kobe Day6/24
should have been 6/26
By blackace Go To PostWill the Lakers retire both numbers?They probably will.
By pilonv1 Go To Post8/24 Kobe Day

I mean, is trolling Kobe's game 7 really that wise after the game 7 (and 6 and 5) that Steph just put up?
This finals was probably as bad, or worse, then Robinson or Malone winning MVP and then getting humiliated by the Dream and Jordan respectively in the postseason.

I mean, training camp starts and so does preseason in like a month. So that's not entirely accurate.
I wonder how quickly Derrick Rose is going to be shamed into taking back his super team comments incessantly, leading inevitably to him saying more dumb shit?
I give it to end of November.
By 3SidedPolygons Go To PostI mean, is trolling Kobe's game 7 really that wise after the game 7 (and 6 and 5) that Steph just put up?The winning the MVP really is a lame dig... the embarrassment was becoming the first NBA team to give up a 3-1 lead in the finals. Losing in the finals as the MVP really doesn't mean a lot... Quite a few MVPs have done that... and when Malone won MJ most likely should have won it that year too... same can't really be said about Curry.

Two years ago today, the Wolves traded NBA superstar Kevin Love for Andrew Wiggins. Damn, time flies.
By rodeoclown Go To PostTwo years ago today, the Wolves traded NBA superstar Kevin Love for Andrew Wiggins. Damn, time flies.
That's NBA champion Kevin Love to you.
Wolves got fleeced.
By Adam Blade Go To PostThat's NBA champion Kevin Love to you.It's inarguable. We've won 45 games in two years and Cleveland won a title.
Wolves got fleeced.
All thanks to Kevin Love.
Malone went 25/10.5/3.8/1/1 on 50.5% shooting in that finals against Jordan. He turned the ball over stupidly and lost.. but "humiliated"? Come on.
Marcus Paige got money from the Jazz, you win this round, DY.

By etiolation Go To PostFeels like trade rumors should start up in a week or two.Any that you're anticipating?
By P-SY Go To PostAny that you're anticipating?I think Monroe gets traded before training camp. The Bucks will end up settling for an unexciting deal.
Minny might make a trade to round out the roster.
I would say the Kings make a trade since they seem ideal for making a trade, but they always do the opposite of what is normally expected.
By etiolation Go To PostMinny might make a trade to round out the roster.They need shooters, but there's really nothing for them to obviously do. I don't think it would be prudent (nor do I think Thibs will) make a move without running it back for a while. The Rubio/LaVine/Wiggins/Dieng/Towns lineup was one of the best in the league after the break.
I guess if they do anything, it'll be to not pay Dieng next summer.
man the league is gonna be rough this year, there aren't a lot of shit rosters to take nights off on
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postman the league is gonna be rough this year, there aren't a lot of shit rosters to take nights off onI would describe the league top heavy and largely middling. After the first couple guarantees out West (Warriors, Spurs, Clippers), it's wide open, so I still think the Wolves should be in the mix for the playoffs, assuming good health.
Portland Trail Blazers center Festus Ezeli had his left knee injected with a bone marrow aspirate concentrate and Orthovisc today in Chicago.Now we know why his contract is what it is.
I feel like we're due for a trade as well. We really need shooting.
Only way we can reach our preseason goals (contend for HC in the first round) is to either play all-world D and fairly efficient O centered around Russ or to add some shooting. So much will depend on Adams and Oladipo taking the next step.
Someone like Wilson Chandler is appealing, but the long-term money will make it difficult to go after another star like Blake next summer.
Billy D's gonna have to earn that paycheck this season.

I don't like Wilson Chandler for your team..... Especially considering the Thunders strong development staff. You guys need young shooting. I would say they should try to trade for Otto Porter. He's younger than Wilson, use to having less of touches during the game than a guy like Wilson is due to the Wiz's strong back court, and if they get his bird rights they could go after blake and then pay him. Wall is already grumbling too about the team and his team mates so I expect some changes to that roster sooner than later.
By reilo Go To PostNow we know why his contract is what it is.
I thought the Trailblazers should of prioritized a center, but overpaid to load up on Swingmen. This news just makes their offseason even worse than it was before and they were pretty bad prior.
By reilo Go To PostNow we know why his contract is what it is.Are portland really the team that should be taking flyers on big men with bad knee's ? :(
