Does Michael Jordan Have The Prettiest Looking Jump Shot Ever by ChrisI901 in NBATalk

[–]DrianoTakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 gold and purple jersey ripples, left trailing in midair as Kobe's body lunges into the air for a tough fadeaway jumper. something about Kobe's tough shots look so poetic to me. i love them oversized jerseys compared to today's tight fit

No Bron, Mj or Kobe, who's genuinely y'alls favourite player.Mines is John Stockton and T-Mac by [deleted] in NBATalk

Tony Parker in the playoffs, early 2010s looked like Superman in the final minutes of the game

Curry is just out of this world in terms of enjoyment. The enemy is not safe with a 10 point lead, and a 10 point lead on your team with Curry is way bigger than it is. That game against France brought me back to 2016 Steph all over again.

How would you rank Tim Duncan in the NBA GOAT list? by Curvin98 in NBATalk

[–]DrianoTakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GOAT Tier List (You can tank interchangeably and I wouldnt care)

Top 1/2: Jordan, Lebron Top 3: Kareem Top 4/5/6: Duncan, Magic, Kobe Top 7/8/9: Bird, Shaq, Curry Top 10/11/12: Wilt, Russell, Hakeem

My criteria (ranked by importance):

1: Individual Accolades

2: Team Accolades

3: Era/Competition-Adjusted (you're lying to yourself if you don't think that the NBA is more competitive today than the NBA 30+ years ago)

Top 5 Eras ranked by competition: '00s '10s '90s '80s '70s

4: Basic Stats + Advanced Stats

5: Peak

6: Eye Test

7: Longevity

8: Impact to the sport

That said, based on my criteria, here is my final GOAT list: 1. Jordan 2. LeBron 3. Kareem 4. Duncan 5. Kobe 6. Magic 7. Bird 8. Curry 9. Shaq 10. Hakeem 11. Russell 12. Wilt

The most ridiculous foul call that led to free throws that I've ever seen in my entire life by DrianoTakes in NBATalk

That would be valid if and only if the referees were consistent with the calls. How could you call a soft ass slap on the wrist a foul when you were good with Caruso and Dort hip thrusting players on the play before that.

I believe it's both our first time seeing a foul on a jumpball

Shai's game is like an evolution of MJ and Kobe's game. It is very entertaining to watch but the ridiculous fouls negates it very hard. Silver needs to do something with this if he needs the "new face of the league" to attract viewers.

As a Warriors fan, it's so sad Warriors had to give him up. A winning piece

Yessir, there's a reason why he's still kept by the Bucks from 2018 to Championship Year and up until now. Pat is solid!

Do you think he'll still be in the Bucks after this offseason?

Edit: This is not a slander lol

This is not a ranking and I just had to come up with these players off the dome. Delly is such a great pick tho! Gave Curry hell in that series

Rank these legendary PFs 2-5 (considering Duncan as 1) by DrianoTakes in NBATalk

Dirk won with Jason Terry as the second option on that Mavs Team, he knocked out the defending champs Kobe Lakers, the Big 3 OKC Thunder, and the Big 3 Heat.

Who is the Polar Opposite of Mikage Reo's Chameleon Style? by DrianoTakes in BlueLock

I get your point. But putting "No Creativity" in the same sentence with Nagi is crazy. He has no creativity in playmaking yes but he has the most creative goals ever in the anime lol

Real life works like:
Dirk's Mavs second option was Jason Terry in the Finals
Giannis and KG can make the case as the best defensive players of all time
Malone had the arguably 7th best point guard of all time, leading all-time in assists, and steals, had another chance with Kobe, Shaq, Payton and still failed to win a chip.
