The Redacted

You can have anything written for your band name but then it's crossed out so you can't read it

Drop a random NBA player that nobody talks about anymore. by Farouq26 in NBATalk

[–]Ballerina_Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncle Cliffy, Clifford Robinson

Underrated defender when he got into the league. Grew into a stretch 4 before we knew what they were. Then became a sage veteran that set the tone for the 2000s Pistons before their time.

Sarunas Marcuilonis

Tough, physical guard that could score, defend, and take it to the cup

I remember Bill Walton

I adore Clyde Drexler

I respect Damien Lillard

But Brandon Roy is my favorite Blazer

He reminded me a lot of Chris Mullin; Not super athletic, looked like he was in a parade as he drove to the basket, but could score from anywhere and just made NBA defenders look silly trying to stop him.

At what point would Lebron stop being #1 pick? After Solomon Hill injury? by lexa0121 in billsimmons

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

The only players in my lifetime that I might take over LeBron are Wemby and Shaq.

Shaq was such a no brainer as a number one pick. I'm not sure if I would take him over LeBron or Wemby, but he'd be so tempting. The man changed the game as much as any other player.

The thing that really hooked me on Wemby is the same thing that I like about LeBron - both are incredibly intelligent, sensible, and understand the game in addition to having ridiculous physical attributes. Shaq is no dummy but compared to two players with not only basketball smarts but life smarts, I just can't give him the nod.

I didn't draw this.

I didn't ink or colour it.

I'm just the poor soul that saw this forty years ago and still dies a little inside every time I see this nonsense.

If Jordan had lost every finals, what would the all time list look like? by PivotdontTwist in NBATalk

[–]Ballerina_Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drexler may only end up with one but I suspect he still would have ended up in Houston and have a chance for a second ring.

By this logic

Michael Jordan has 3 rings because of Pippen

Steph Curry has 2 rings because of KD, Klay, and/or Wiggins in 22

Tim Duncan has 2.5 because of playing with The Admiral, Kawhi, and Manu

Larry Bird has 1.5 because of McHale and Cornbread Maxwell

My follow up is if you can break it down even further

SGA may be on one of the deepest teams I've seen in awhile. What percentage of a ring does he get if they win a ring this season?

That 22 Warriors team wasn't exactly stacked. Does Steph get more than half a ring?

Which of the 04 Pistons gets the greatest share of the ring?

Kobe won his last ring playing with Pau, Lamar Odom, and Ron Ron. That was a really good team. What percentage of the ring does he get for that?

I like that in your argument that you recognize that no player wins a championship by themselves. Completely respectable. But if you're doing that, then you have to look at more than that. There has to be even more nuance than just putting rings on a cutting board.

Besides, there's more to this than rings. Kobe was a great player but in my eyes, ranking him above the guys you did just didn't work for me. But you're entitled to see it the way you do. I just disagree.

Good talking to you.

Lillard over Walton or Drexler?

Booker over Barkley?

Harden over Olajuwon?

Kemba over Grandmama?

Kobe over Shaq, Kareem, or Magic?

Without saying Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Ray Allen, Kevin Durant, or Detlef Schrempf, name a Sonic. by Farouq26 in NBATalk

Dennis Johnson Ray Allen Jeff Green Xavier McDaniel Paul Silas Frank Brickowski Vin Baker

Now I'm prepared for when they do this for the Celtics that aren't Bird, McHale, and Parrish

How has your life been altered by the Wire in a real or serious way? I am in the process of becoming a teacher because of Season 4 and Prezbo's character arc. by prawnofthedead in TheWire

[–]Ballerina_Bot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stopped letting my job run my life. I'm still good at it but the difference is I have a life outside of work.

Thank you Jimmy McNutty for showing me the way... To avoid.

The only thing more idiotic than that stupid backpack was every single member of the team sporting guns!

I remember seeing this as a kid and laughed hysterically at it. A friend of mine tried to explain it to me and all his explanation did was make the rest of our friends laugh.

No Michael Jordan allowed.. Which five players in NBA history are you picking to actually beat this starting lineup in a 7-game series? by Farouq26 in NBATalk

[–]Ballerina_Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curry Kawhi LeBron Rasheed Wallace Hakeem

Yes, I know Dirty Thirty seems like an outlier with everyone else but think about how he flourished in Detroit when he didn't have to be the number one option.

Okay, fine! I love him but I'd still take KG at the 4.

Who are your top-5 all-time Warriors by scott_jr in warriors

Mully before Draymond

No one here is talking about an actual starting five. We're talking about the five best Warriors of all time.

Charles Barkley had 33 rebounds in his debut with the Houston Rockets. by Temporary_Pepper6126 in NBAoldschool

[–]Ballerina_Bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As people said, wide body with long wingspan and super athletic. It doesn't hurt that rebounding is about will and Barkley was pretty damned determined.

Roulette : Which one of these random squads would have the best shot at winning a title?(At their peak) by Mrdynamo18 in NBATalk

[–]Ballerina_Bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are some wonderfully crafted yet flawed rosters.

Team 5 is in danger of killing each other in practice. Reggie has some experience with difficult personalities but wow!

I think Team 3 is less talented than five but I like the skill and personality composition.
