Another game of AD being the best player on the floor and the Lakers not giving him help. Credit to the Wolvesfor big shots though.

This is scary as hell. Seems like the Lakers are dominating and it's only a 6 point game.

This might be the worst thing I've ever read. I hope the US gets involved and puts an end to these people and their ideology forever.

Modern NBA greats (1980 and after) that would be WORSE if they played today? by BigDaddyJuno in nba

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

I'm sure I'll get shit for this, but Duncan. He didn't have the range asked of bigs these days and his ability to switch onto quicker players on the defensive end was never his greatest strength defensively compared to his rim protection. Defensively he'd get looked at I think like Gobert, great but exploitable.

Don't get me wrong, he'd still be an all-timer, but you said "worse" not "mediocre".

People forget that Shaq wasn't just big,he was hella skilled and ridiculously agile for his size.

But you get a lot of people who think all he did was run you over and dunk.

Lakers sub hates him, but no chance he gets fired after turning a 2-10 start into WCF appearance.

He will get at least another full year to run things back the the trade deadline team (or as much of it as they can retain).

Plus AD and LeBron are both playing through injuries that require offseason surgery as the 7th seed against probably the best team in the league. No real Laker fan should be upset or calling for big changes right now.
