I still want to see how Springer performs this season before I’ll make conclusions about him. But game style wise, I’d prefer Tyty.

Will Luka Doncic ever win a championship with his playstyle?

Ive talked about it on one of my posts.

It wont likely work, because he plays predictable. It will work on reg season, first to second round, but you wont beat a contender on a 7 game series playing that way because eventually they’d be able to scout you and anticipate your tendencies. Luka is Strong at driving right and likes to settle for jumpers and stepbacks with his left.

Which is different from a style when players and the ball is moving with a purpose, attacking on different angles where there is less pressure, which makes it harder to read. Like the Celts, Nuggets, Spurs or Warriors.

Giannis lying. Bucks is just running out of gas and he wants option to abandon ship.

How is he lying? I basically hear him saying exactly what you just said.

“I would not be the best version of myself if I don’t know that everybody’s on the same page, everybody’s going for a championship, everybody’s going to sacrifice time away from their family like I do. And if I don’t feel that, I’m not signing.”

Everybody is on the same page with Giannis, it’s just they have guys who’s running out of gas because of age and health

Giannis can't afford to leave Milwaukee from a legacy perspective. He's trying to be the best player of his generation and Jokic just pulled even with him.

He leaves and wins a couple of titles elsewhere... hard to see Jokic top that. I don't see Denver winning two more titles in the next decade. LeBron is a mercenary but also clearly the best player of the last 20 years (2000-2020).

Giving a small market team a championship on top of playing (what will be) 12 seasons when his current contract is over is more than enough for his legacy. I don't think Bucks fans nor NBA fans will give him an ounce of grief if he bolted, even for the slimy Lakers.

Before i forgot.. i was listening to Windy about how my country is big on Kobe..

These are just rumors and i dont have the facts to back this. But Kobe slept with a lot of women over here, for that one i think i can find some link lol for the interviews. And there is this rumor about Kobe having a son here but that child is very well kept and is hard to trace where he is now.

:lol: :lol:

That kid is very arrogant. Acts like he’s a superstar. He wouldnt practice with the team because he said he has some back injury. So the team asks for his XRays and it came out negative.

Giannis winning some rings elsewhere just makes him Jabar 2.0.

The true greats are guys that win multiple championships for their entry franchise.

Agree. James' legacy will be the whole 'player empowerment' garbage, which in many ways helped ruin the sport.

You’re very familiar with Ph’s local player huh? Hahaha

Kobe Paras’ dad is a very famous basketball player and actor in my country, thats the reason why he’s popular here. Its not for his talent.

Overall, my country is very crazy about basketball but we’re not good basketball players except for guys who have american ancestry like Jalen Green or Jordan Clarkson.

We’re never gonna win anything on this sport and we’re just happy seeing guys like Spo, Clarkson and Green in the NBA.

I hope this is the season the Thunder take off and cook the West. The disrespect I see people giving Shai on social media is a bit absurd.

I think Jokic takes the last couple months off again and SGA wins MVP next season.

And people are trying to compare Ant to him. Yes Edwards is playing well in international play but he has another leap to make before he’s in the MVP conversation.
