What is your all time favorite topic to discuss 

Post#1 » by mdonnelly1989 » Thu Aug 14, 2025 1:42 am

Of all the topics you like discussing the most…

Mine have always been rankings. Whether it’s post season best player in the league rankings.

Or best shooters, athletic ability, defense…ect

MJ vs LeBron. Fact driven discussions in which gentlemen respectfully disagree through civilized discourse.

Kobe related topics are a close second for the same reason.

I like reading the trade discussions here - I'm not a pundit with a great deal of knowledge about the trade rules and whatnot so appreciate the insights.

Noticing and commenting as a young player blossoms over the course of a few months, earning the league's respect and even some grudging acceptance from the haters.

Players reported heights, muscle gains, weight loss and how many 3pt shots players like Ben Simmons made in an empty gym.

Who gained 10-15 pounds of muscle during the off season.

Don't forget the Luka vs Trae ROY discussions. It wasn't the outcome, it was the friends we made along the way.

Why the 80s/90s were "real basketball" and "these guys are spoiled AAU babies who don't know how to play" and "players are too soft now"
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

The fact that Jordan wasn't winning no 8 titles through Hakeem whether he retired or not and that Hakeem was giving Chicago just as much if not more fits than MJ was giving Houston in the few career meetings their teams had.
