I get pissed at all these dumbass stiff wrist passes Randle keeps throwing. The man is open by two feet and still throws this weird ass stiff wristed passes to the shooter's ankles and knees. The **** is wrong with your joints to be so stiff?

That was his last game last night. We'll see what happens today. Luke said there was some other players they wanted to see before Nwaba signed his second 10 day. If we let him go, does he latch on somewhere else? Probably.

By the way, according to I think his gf's Snapchat, Russell was back in the practice facility last night after the game getting shots up. This was a couple hours after.

It's still up for debate who has a better career at the end of it all though
Usually on all time lists, LeBron has at the very least already leapfrogged Bird, Shaq and Kobe into at least the top 6 (Jordan, Kareem, Magic, Russell, Wilt), given his 3 titles and plethora of MVPs
I sent this from a potato using a penny and strips of copper attached to an antenna and half a coke can
Lebron playing in eastern conference, teaming up with cats, he ain't a player he is a player/gm. Statistically he is a master. Best prime? Kobe's 6 years starting in 02-03... I'll never forget how DOMINANT he was night in night out.
Such revisionist history in this thread. If only a guy like Duncan jumped to a garbage conference and played with second best sg of all time in his prime (prime d-wade >>> any Spurs player in his career including an aging Robinson). Imagine how many finals appearances and titles he would have ended up with.
It's not really comparable to an era where forming super teams is a foreign concept.
Did you just say that Wade was better than Kobe?

I think he'll get signed. He's too good not to sign. I think the FO just wanted to utilize all they're options to get a good enough look at him.
Solid pick up for us, and all it cost us was waiving Calderon.
Talking about how bad Julius Randle is:

Dudes a stud at Cal Poly. His shooting took a hit his last year here due to a broken wrist the summer before his senior season. Super nice guy who hustles! Just make sure he doesn't hang around DeAngelo's prima-donna eyebrow shaving ass. I wish nothing but the best for the dude!

I think it's a little undeniable that LeBron is a better player.
It's still up for debate who has a better career at the end of it all though. Kobe, given his overall talent level, has definitely overachieved (I've got him #8 behind Duncan, in front of Shaq, Bird, Hakeem and Oscar)
Usually on all time lists, LeBron has at the very least already leapfrogged Bird, Shaq and Kobe into at least the top 6 (Jordan, Kareem, Magic, Russell, Wilt), given his 3 titles and plethora of MVPs
I sent this from a potato using a penny and strips of copper attached to an antenna and half a coke can
For me, Kobe gets major points for staying with one franchise. Lebron jumped a couple times. Yea, lebron is crazy good, top 5. But I have Kobe as the better NBA career. Lebron jumped destroys part of his legacy. Yea, he went back to Cleveland, but he ran twice.
Kobe was in LA for 20 years. That is huge. I also give huge props to dirk.
Kobe won a dunk contest whereas LeBron hasn't even entered one. It has nothing to do with who is better in the all time list (I'd give the nod to Lebron now) but it shows the difference in what kind of competitors they are.

That's true
I forgot about the dunk contest. It was so long ago.
I feel like lebron is still so athletic he could still enter and win
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team
Proceeds to finish 7th and shames the entire nation!

Maybe with all the hype he'd have on his side. I doubt he'd win because his dunks would be the best. Would be similar to the farce that was Griffin's dunk. It's always the same dunk with him, no creativity at all.
