I thought he was "the greatest PF of all time" though?

On a side note, Milwaukee's own Becca Murray won an ESPY for best female athlete with a disability. I work with her so it's really cool.

The +/- win swing for trading Lillard for Anthony Davis straight up in ESPN trade machine is +12 Lakers, - 15 Portland.

Think I go:
PG: LBJ
SG: Ray
SF: Kawhi
PF/C: Giannis and KG

Other one would be some combo of Steph, LBJ, Giannis. Then whoever for last two.

Could probably do pretty well just picking the SF line all the way down and then the $1 on Kidd or Iverson

LBJ, KD, Ray, Giannis, AD.

Good guys beat bad guys, 91-83.

I mean, to be fair- with the NBA season going you guys weren't able to field a star studded team. :reporter:

USA sealed their own fate when they decided to have ZERO :lift:

members. I don't feel one ounce of patriotism tbh. Patty Chuck showed them what a real player is.

As an American, is it wrong for me to find joy in their losing? I grew up thinking of the Dream Team as some sort of super hero/pro athlete hybrid. I had that shirt where they were all cartoon caricatures with big heads and gold medals. Had the McDonalds jumbo plastic cup, specifically Moses Malone. All the trading cards. And now. Now, all I see is a flag I feel embarrassed to claim as my own. Call me a traitor, call me what you want, but it's hard for me to root for America these days, what with world history and all. Maybe when the Bucks players are with the team I will have some interest, but I wonder, is it special for kids nowadays to see the stars align?

Seeing Willie Green as the favorite for the Pelicans headcoaching job is making me feel old as ****.

I don't know if he's the greatest PF or not but he was a PF for the first half of his career when he was at his peak.

He was a C who played a cameo role at PF when he shared the court with Robinson.

Do you really think Moses Malone was on the dream team?

I had the whole set of skybox dream team cards.

The cartoon big head shirt was the coolest thing about summer of ‘92.

I’m a classic rock listening, hamburger and cheese curd eating, jeans wearing, whiskey drinking, American. USA! USA! And I actually root against team usa (basketball) every olympics. I don’t even know why I do it. Give me Serbia, Australia… anyone but France.

I made a Dream Team poster in school (didn't bother including Laettner)

Ι don't understand it how is it possible for the fans who listen to their national anthem every - **** - game to not GAF about their national team. I understand how they players don't GAF, it's a thankless task for them. Give up their summer for free and if they win everybody is like meh who cares, another gold for team USA, but if they lose they will hear about it for a decade. So I get it for the players but for the fans I don't know how it's not fun to watch your hyper athletes abuse various slow unathletic dudes from allover the world :dontknow:

I’m guessing a brain fart on Karl Malone
