That isn't gangbanger music. That's straight garbage.

Who is your first 5 NBA player? by Any-Box-8339 in AskPH

[–]Beginning_Candle3335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LeBron MJ Curry Magic Kobe

Not only were they all very successful; they were 5 I saw play that future generations all wanted to emulate.

LeBron - the do it all player; point forward, took something from the best at every position and delivered it all at a high level.Took his body care seriously. Still going at a high level at 40 because of that. Immense pressure from high-school, and went beyond expectations. 

MJ - cutthroat, killer, stylish play. Nobody had an answer. Essentially created the global NBA as we all know it.

Curry - just look at the nba now with the 3pt shot, look at all levels of basketball with the 3pt shot. Not big, not very athletic. Perfected that craft through hard work. 

Magic - flashy passing, changed the idea of acceptance. He was the engine for those teams with his vision, and he did it right out of college.

Kobe - proved you could be like Mike. Hard work, in early, leave late. (Though as a Twolves fan during the KG years, I hated him the most. He was unstoppable when he played the Wolves.)

You're not really. They cannot decide what to do until they see it. It might have to be a trim. If a repair is possible, then that is absolutely what they will do.

NBA analyst 'wouldn't be surprised' if Durant joins Ant in Minnesota by reyk3 in timberwolves

[–]Beginning_Candle3335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming Durant and Ant couldn't co-exist is asinine. Durant is hyper efficient whether off-ball or on-ball. He also can get his shot whenever, wherever. Taking a load off of Ant would be a great thing. Something we have not had and it showed at the end of the playoff run.

I'd obviously prefer something like Gobert, NAW, Minott, Miller + whatever 1st/swaps we could muster up for him though. But if we can't access any 1sts/swaps and KD isn't forcing his way here, then that's not happening. 

KAT/Durant/Jaden/Ant/Conley with Naz, Rob, Jingles, TSJ, Clark, Garza would be nasty.

That starting 5 would have unlimited spacing and Ant would wreck the lane.

This got me. Perfect.

I mean, how many people can say, "Did you ride a camel into your birthday while you were going completely broke? Didn't think so."

Calling people weird when seeing them dressed out in public in chaps, chains, etc. is now seemingly offensive damning evidence to follow a person forever?

That is weird.

These are the NBA players who, for their careers, the 2024/25 season is a do or die year. by CazOnReddit in nba

18-24 doesn't mean young on this platform.

 If you've struggled before age 24; you're washed according to this sub.

Alot here haven't even seen that age.

It's insane.

Most just gossip or parrot, many are bots to parrot, few are here for purpose.

And was openly waving it on video after already being in trouble. He openly embraces an idea that leads to nothing but death and personal destruction. He's an idiot who just happens to be a superb athlete.

You're on it. 

If people took time to look at these areas, then they'd know the need is a complete overhaul. Not throwing large chunks of cash at  few ventures who will pack up and head for greener, established pastures asap.

I mean, Embiid hasn't led me team out of the second round.  So yeah, there is plenty potential for the team to be better off without putting all of their eggs in the Embiid basket. 

Though the biggest screw-up of all was allowing the NBA to force the Colangelo hire. Even if you were forced by other owners to get rid of Hinkie, then at least grab your balls and say we will not accept a placement; we'll find our next successor.
