suns might be in a spiral, but there's potential for a safety net now at least - assuming they get the right owner

and we all know that no matter what dramatics occur in the short term, a good owner will eventually set any team back on the right path

In the end, they actually should be happy about all the Sarver drama, because it means the potential for a better owner / ownership group which actually is better in the end. We know first hand.

With all the drama and turmoil around the league right now, things like this become even nicer to see:

Except for the FACT that Wilt Chamberlain was the GOAT :wink:

I like this one a lot. [You either get Wilt or you don't.] That he's still #5 here is proof enough this is an ace list. You can quibble about the order--and only by a couple of places either way--IMO this Top 20 is bulletproof. And the back 20 of the list is ace too.

CP3 is #29 and Kawhi is #33. McAdoo is technically a Clipper at #45.

Mathurin is a scary talented downhill scorer/shooter... really impressed.

Glenn's still their coach. Is any other explanation needed?

I know I pushed hard for Ayo Dosunmu, but even I didn't think he'd be this good this fast. I had an idea that he'd become a good rotation player eventually. He's actually kind of a solid NBA starter now. Really took it to Kyrie last night.

He said Ubuntu and I cried, that alone deserves a four year extension.

Regardless of how it ends up later in the season, still have to give props to Utah for their play so far.

Cleveland has been surprising, I thought they would be good, but not this good so far with Garland not fully healthy. I don't think Mitchell can keep up his play, but they haven't been fully healthy either, they could be interesting. They've done a good job there management wise, interestingly enough. A lot of offensive talent, very balanced paired up with some guys who can defend.

Suns pre-season spiral we were all making fun of them for, so far looks like they were just sleeping through pre-season and waiting for the regular season.

Paul's shooting and scoring has been non-existent, but they are still doing very well (top 4 in Ortg and Drtg). It might actually be best for them to go through the season and play very well without him being a scoring factor so they aren't in the playoffs and relying on a 38 year old just 6'0 PG to be the primary ball handler and playmaker and then also carry any sort of significant scoring.

Karl Malone had 10 seasons of 82 games played.

Funny how they left that out and only listed players with fewer 82 game seasons than MJ. :dontknow:

True. Not to diss Karl but I rate all those listed above him, and all won multiple titles. His greatness was in his consistency and longevity more than his brilliance.

Bev's extreme confidence in himself has helped him stay in the league. He's not as good as he thinks he is a lot of times, but he's also better than some people give him credit for. On the other hand, sometimes...too many times he wants to play hero defense and can get you out of your schemes. Injuries though are his biggest problem.

I'm going to expect that his shooting normalizes, but the Lakers will still be mediocre either way :lol:

Doc vindicated Ben is punk garbage
and btw Blake Griffin sucks ass too totally washed at 33

Read on Twitter

Sixers legend Charles Barkley still believes Simmons should apologize and fully make amends for the way he left Philly.

“But I wish Ben would apologize, personally,” Barkley said, “to the city of Philadelphia. I think he should apologize; I think he should apologize to Doc Rivers because, as a basketball organization, he got mad when they asked him to become a better basketball player.”
