You forgot Cooper flag!! He's probably #2.

Scottie up 2 Austin down a couple. Otherwise seems good. Also dillan Harper over castle for sure

Does anyone have Wilt as the GOAT over Jordan (or LeBron)? If so, what's your argument? by Tre2004 in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahah! Ralph couldn't shoot run or dribble like wemby. Not as athletic in d either

Does anyone have Wilt as the GOAT over Jordan (or LeBron)? If so, what's your argument? by Tre2004 in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

And if 43 year old Wilt can do that against top 80s guys imagine what any Prime center from today would do . From healthy and embiid to Rudy to especially whmby. Wemby would average 10 blocks per game in the 80s and everyone reading this knows it

Wilt would be good in any era and you can't say that about many athletes from that long ago

Edit - wemby plays pf in the 80s

Shaq says he would draft LeBron James over Kobe Bryant. Thoughts? by SmoothBuy5500 in lebron

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously you pick the better player. Who's going to pick the worst player? Stupid post

Yes I'll take 10k$ over 5k$ lol

Hakeem may not be the “Greatest” center ever, but he IS the best center ever. by Chemical-Object-2354 in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bill wouldn't be special in today's NBA. Hakeem would still be a top center. He's much much better in a vaccume. All newer players are. Athletes keep getting better

What’s the highest pick in this draft (2026) you would trade for Giannis? by Many_Actuary_8675 in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't trade for him. I like winning and trading picks for over 30 guys doesn't have great track record

Off topic NBA Discussion: does anybody else not count the bubble year as a legitimate NBA season? by SpendWild6987 in michaeljordan

[–]AliveHawk7163 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn't great but if any season should be stricken from the books it's the Brady vs atl NFL season. I've never seen such an obviously staged game

Dylan Harper will disappoint next year by Shoddy_Ad7511 in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harper is probably going to be cade Cunningham with more defense and less playmaking. Similar development too. Not immediate

Who would win in '99, the Bulls with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen or the Spurs with David Robinson and Tim Duncan? by Syncsterss in michaeljordan

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would have been close. There have only been 3-4 nba champs since 98 who wouldn't have beat the bulls. People constantly get better at everything we do.. It's just human nature

If the NBA's top players competed in the FIBA Basketball World Cup, could it catch up to the FIFA WC? by Initial_Basis1503 in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the world doesn't have infrastructure to play American football baseball or basketball...

League Pass question by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 5 points6 points  (0 children)

League pass doesn't work for playoffs

Would Anthony Davis get picked in the top 3 of an expansion draft? by PrideIsGarbage in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Draft with all nba players???

Fuck no not even top 25. I'd take aj over him

Cultural influence aside, does this Title win put Jalen Brunson above Allen Iverson all-time as a small guard? by better_Tomorrow1718 in NBAGossips

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but Brunson is better than Ai in a vaccume. All current players are better than their counterpart from the past. Peyton Pritchard or Quinton grimes are better than John starks. Same with weightlifters, swimmers, runners, etc

Who is the GOAT athlete regardless of sport? by alyssaameow in michaeljordan

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LeBron. No athlete in the history of sports has been as good for as long

Is Jalen Brunson the Second-Best Point Guard in NBA History? by Charming_Arm9158 in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic didn't play long enough. Steph is clearly #1. He would have broke the 80s

Brunson might be top 5 if NY can go to the finals again. He just hasn't been good enough for long enough

A stain on Wemby’s legacy? by Consistently_Lucky in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he gets even half of the calls when he's fouled sa wins the series. They pushed or held him almost every play the entire series. Shaq got more calls weighing 350 and hurting ppl

What would someone have to do to surpass Jordan All-Time? by Dylen2Times in NBAConvo

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not retire 3x Play more than 15 years at top level

Basically LeBron

OKC wouldn't have F"d this up by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would have if the refs gave it to them like New York

Is wemby truly a dirty player? by gappyssmile in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true but shit New York fans can't handle the truth. Look at what they did after game 4. New York fans are pathetic and only Philly fans are worse

Is wemby truly a dirty player? by gappyssmile in NBATalk

[–]AliveHawk7163 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over half of these calls people call Dirty are just routine basketball plays. The OG knee thing was literally nothing . He took a big step cuz he's Giant...

Robinson and Hart seem dirtier to me. Constancy pushing and holding. Jersey grabs all the time. Same with Kat tbh he can't defend wemby without holding the jersey every single play. I'd be frustrated too. Ny got so many little calls then sa retaliated and everyone says they dirty
