That's ridiculous, I think he's quite clearly a top 10 all time player. What he's doing late career is merely cementing that and pushing him up even further.

Anyone else too old for all this OT nonsense? I’m 34. My back hurts. Gotta get up at 8am to be exploited by my employer. :sleep:

The Cam vs MPJ trade may be a wash talent wise. Cam may be more athletic and a better defender but MPJ is obviously a better shooter.

Murray is still a turnover machine I see. Dude just can’t help himself. He loves giving away the rock in crunch time.

Question is who do you take out:

MJ
KAJ
LBJ
Wilt
Russell
Magic
Bird
Duncan
Shaq
Kobe(or Hakeem)


My top 10 is different man, I don't want to get into it here, this is gamethread not goat thread, but you've seen my top ten? I don't have Wilt in their but the rest are but in different order :) ...
My Go Team
Magic, Jordan, Bird, Duncan, Shaq

My Counter
Stockton, Kobe, Pippen, Rodman, Dirk

Today's Team
Luka, SGA, Tatum, Giannis, Wemby

Horford is another beautiful basketball player. Tried and true. Old faithful.

I take him over Sha and Bird, arguably Duncan and Kobe. Longevity has to start counting for something, Bird and Shaq didn't really have the longevity at a high level.

Someone should tell Murray it’s playoff time just so he can attempt to give a damn :lol: dude hasn’t done anything in over 15 minutes it seems

Denver's going to rue the day they didnt trade Murray and decided to pay him. You tighten your defense up on him and he's like a deer in headlights.
