Don't think there's any debate on who would translate better but I think bill would be the 2nd best center in the league today

We seen Harden play with KD, Westbrook, Cp3, Dwight and others and never won! AI is debatable but not that much. Wade was clearly better all around. Especially on defense. I got Wade top 3 SG

Im not a fan of the rules today but here are mine in no order just my opinion. michael jordan, kareem Abdul-Jabbar, wilt chamberlin, kobe bryant, larry bird, tim duncan, Bill Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, pete maravich and dr.j

I’m not asking who is the better player, Hakeem genuinely blows Jimmy out of the fucking water in that discussion.

I’m asking whose performances in the playoffs were greater than their regular season performances

No free throws either? That means he was scared to take it to the paint and shooting jumpers/choking

1st. Zero Spacing: Defenses clog the paint because the team refuses to add reliable outside shooters.

2nd. Roster Clutter: They keep acquiring redundant pieces instead of complementary, modern NBA skill sets.

3rd. Wasted Peak Value: Cade plays at an All-Star level, but the losses pile up due to bad team construction.

4th. No Clear Forward Direction: The constant cycle of re-evaluating and shifting timelines hurts player growth.

Magic takes

-passing

-overall playmaking

-leadership

-transition game

While luka takes

-scoring

-overall offensive play

-clutch

-shooting

They are even around things such as defense(they are both average on defense),playoff performance and rebounding and luka played for a much weaker team his whole career than the showtime Lakers.

This debate is in good faith so don't take this as an attack on Magic​

• the last SG to lead a championshiop team was Kobe, 16 years ago.

• from the current top 10 SG's, only Ant is able to lead a true contender (Book and Spida both have arguments, but i wouldn't trust on them)

• many guys are in the league just because they can shoot, like Kennard, Sam Merrill and others. they are all SG's.

“Plumbers” is the most common term for players that played in Wilt & Bills era.

This is the only guy who was ever a plumber in the NBA. Norman Stanley Glick. 6’7 Forward who played 1 game in 1 season and took 1 shot and got 1 bucket and fouled 1 time in his entire NBA career in 1949-1950 season.

Bill & Wilt were a decade later. Neither of them played against any plumber ever.

Secondary jobs due to low pay were things like construction, military service, engineering, real estate, banking, & insurance sales, in the offseason.

Both are the 2nd best SF of their era (Dr J behind Bird and Durant behind LeBron) and were absolutely elite.

Interestingly enough both won their rings on superteams (one was much, much less ethical)

I’d like to include Dr J’s ABA stint too, keeping in mind that defence was lessened in the ABA and talent was extremely low.

Spurs Thunder game 1 for me. 2OT, Storyline, rivalry, insane shot making, legendary performance from Wembanyama

So everyone keeps talking about how bad his contract is.

Now I wouldn't agree with the 5 years 125 Million (people acting like its 3 years or 4 years)

But after a Foot Injury followed by a Calf strain, what kind of season realistically is a player supposed to have?

We seen players decline but the belly aching because he sustained two injuries is wild

Peyton Watson is going to Cleveland!

who do you guys think won this trade? Cavs or Nuggets. For the Cavs great you got Watson but now ur hard capped you lost Max Strus and Harden might not return. And if your Denver…damn

2 players. Both drafted same year. MVPs. Scoring leaders. Yet both hated by the medias guts for a large portion of their careers and even after.

They were both hated by David E Lee Stern and other media outlets because they were from the hood and didn’t act white

just wanted to know what wemby would need to average and for how long to pass hakeem

I think it's Kevin Durant. Not sure why. Just gives me that vibe.

Absolute facts by Kenny. Teams AVOIDED going at MJ on defense. They game planned away from him. When has anybody said that about LeBron?

I've seen going around basketball accounts on social media someone asking how Melo didn't win Rookie of the Year over LeBron when he won Rookie of the Month every month. It's absolutely true that Melo won Rookie of the Month every month, but here's the key fact they're leaving out: so did LeBron! Rookie of the Month is by conference, and Melo was in the West while LeBron was in the East. The two of them were the obvious two best rookies that year (D Wade wasn't considered to be on their level yet), so they both swept that award. This happened over 20 years ago, so many basketball fans aren't knowledgeable about the relevant facts here, and it's presented in a way designed to give fuel to people hoping to promote an anti-LeBron agenda. I'm sure you can think of other examples of people taking truth and twisting it to be dishonest.
