How is that a dirty play?


If it was a Magic player there would be 20 threads about it already. I was being sarcastic.


Well we have like 20 posts here saying it was dirty. How was I supposed to know you were being sarcastic?

That LeBron James pullback is like watching Russell Crowe or Mel Gibson make their signature faces: it works in some contexts better than others.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

If Rui Hachimura isn't wide open, he won't shoot or make it. Not even layups.

Luka’s impact is super overrated. Just scoring on a good chunk of volume but really nothing else.

I mean, I genuinely thought ANT had just popped an ACL or something. Hope he's as ok as he looks now.

I dont think Lakers organization is to stressed about this year championship.
They will have Luka for another 10-12 years.
They will be main favourite to pair him with Jokic in 2027
..
Magic-Kareem
Kobe-Shaque
LeBron-Davis
Doncic-Jokic

You know it will just happen..unless of course Jokic doesn't go to his horses and say screw you all, I had enough:)
