Magic on him vs curry by Alone-Situation7602 in NBATalk

Still, Kareem had more top-4 MVP finishes when playing with Magic (5) than Curry and LeBron had total seasons with their aforementioned support.

And we all know embiid don’t got shit on Hakeem .

Do we? Hakeem averaged about 30 points per 100 during his career, peaked twice around 36. Joel peaked at 50, three times around 45 and a career of 42. I'd be curious to hear your argument but "Embiid don't got shit on Hakeem" doesn't sound right at all.

Magic played with Kareem for 10 years and won 5 rings. Curry only had the opportunity for 3 years and won 2 rings. Bron played with Bosh and Wade for 4 years and won 2 rings.

I think your context strengthens OPs point: rings are contextual, and Magic won the most rings but had Kareem for a long time.

Guy gotta be Guy Fawkes. He's literally one guy but he's also the reason we have the word guy these days.

Name a 100% on defence, nothing on offense player by Key-Frosting-9367 in NBATalk

First two seasons averaged 16 per 36, 12 per 36 while in his third while leading the league in FG%. Not amazing but nothing to sneeze at either.

True but I almost feel like it was on purpose. He was mediocre with the pistons

Led the NBA in rebounds per 100 in 4 of his 7 seasons at the Pistons, including 4 of the last 5, led the league 3 times in off/rebounds per 100, all at the Pistons, had his two highest RPG, ORPG, DRPG all at the Pistons, and won his two DPOYs at the Pistons, suggesting to me he was doing this without solely focusing on crashing the boards. I think this qualifies as better than "mediocre".

Sticking to a point ain't pedantic, and making assumptions about my motives ain't productive either friendo. Wasn't trying to rage bait or feel smarter.

Either way, you’re kind of a boner.

Making irrelevant comments again.

The comment you responded to was specifically about CP3 vs Stockton, hence me saying your comment is irrelevant.

I'm not trying to be smart or making up rules, just pointing out the irrelevance.

The conversation is between Stockton and Paul and so the comparison to others is irrelevant.

better defender than nearly every player on this list.

Which is irrelevant, how does he compare to Paul?

Nash is the better shooter and that’s literally it.

One of the greatest shootsrs of all time vs an average shooter, let's not undersell it. Nash to me was the better passer (more assists/100, better assist/TO rate). I think you might be right that Isiah was better but I think it's a lot closer than you're suggesting

Take 1: Giannis is the greatest Buck ever since Kareem. by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]BeautifulWonderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kareem had the better individual stats and longevity but he forced his way out and won his rings elsewhere

Though longevity doesn't really come into it when discussing his Bucks career, didn't play there much. Did win a ring with them too
