Why do you hate all the good players?

All of your favorite players play zero defense and flop 24/7

I'll give you my 5 favorite at every position you give me yours.. okay? Favorite not best or whatever.

See KP’s D on Lillard’s drive and foul in the last minute? Remember he played in Seville where he probably picked up a bull fighting trick or two. !Ole’!

Picture 7-3 KP in the ring with the little costume.

He's the goat when it's all said and done. Didn't retire to figure out real life stuff like Mike.. never gets hurt. Wins wherever he goes despite giving up comfort and familiarity. Was the driving force behind the greatest comeback of all time. Was part of a great early upset in the ECF's. Assist leader, scoring leader, FMVP, MVP. And still going.

we need to start rooting really hard for memphis, sacramento, and golden st., and maybe houston, okc, and the pelicans although they all seem dead in the water. just anything to keep the mavs out of that 8th spot, could be the difference between 12-14 range or 18-19

5 at every position? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I’ll just give you my top 5 favorite players right now.

Curry
Lillard
Tatum
AD
Kawhi

Wanted to put Bam in there but he misses the cut

I’ll give you longevity and the impressive win with the Cavs but I think the stuff about giving up familiarity and comfort isn’t cutting it for me, especially cause he built that Miami and Lakers team himself.

Lillard-------> for the sake of argument and since you beat me to the punch I'll sub Dame out for Jamal Murray.
Doncic
George
Sabonis
Jokic

Just doesn't make sense how good he has been...Especially now at this age. I thought he'd start falling off at age 30.

But it's harder to run around then it is to stay put. And he needs to get points for organizing the teams for those chips. I mean if we critiqued his GM'ing skills.. he was better than he wasn't.. he had good outcomes.

Let's say he wins 3 more. How can a person argue he isn't the best of all time?

LeBron is going to play with his son in the league, I'd be willing to bet the Lakers will draft him whether he's good or not, just to have the first father/son ever in the NBA.

I been fans of guys like AD way before Randle and Sexton lol

So basically only one player on your list plays defense :lol:

He just keeps being the best. It’s pretty staggering the lack of falloff. Just a crazy comet of an athlete. Jordan, Bo Jackson, James, just a rarity that I’ve come to really enjoy watching just cause at the end of the day, this breed is rare.

I was here 5 years before you talking about defense. The league has change. None of these cats play defense anymore.

How about your 5 favorite scrubs?

This dude comes with Kawhi and AD instead of Sexton and Randle? :lol:

I love lebron

and him winning a championship with CLE vs GSW is obviously his crowning achievement

but

I dont weight that as much as him actually losing a championship vs dirk when dirk's next best player was an old ass Shawn Marion and Jason Terry who wasn't even a starter. prime on prime he lost to dirk. with prime bosh and prime wade.

I thought Melo would be a fat tub of lard by now and he looks like he's in the best shape of his life. These guys have the evolution of fitness and nutrition on their side now also.

I been calling AD the best big man in the league for years. Me and Greenie stanned for Kawhi in these threads.

To say nobody plays defense is 100% false :lol:
