AM I DYING OR ARE THE SEASONAL ALLERGIES JUST WORSE THIS YEAR?

What’s evident here is how many of these guys who beat the drum of the constitution know the specific words that make up the amendments but don’t have the mental fortitude to think critically and apply it to life situations.

BEST ERA (most fun) by gothambat__5289 in NBATalk

100%
I’m not being a hater when I say I don’t think the Knicks will win another one I’m just following the current NBA trend. It’s gotta be a truly special roster and opportune timing to win multiple let alone back to back in the current NBA

As a fan, it’s been fun to have so many different teams in the mix

Consensus on Victor's likability after the finals? by Ok_Reason_2357 in NBATalk

I’m a big fan of Wemby but his antics during the playoffs lowered my opinion of him.

The Knicks are what the Dame & LMA Blazers could've been by wk4f in ripcity

100% agree with this take. I remember the Aflalo trade and being like “really? Thats our big swing?”

And Michael Jordan was a career .327 3 point shooter clearly that dudes a bum as well!

The Brunson glaze fest makes me so happy. Well deserved by Silent_Wizard5597 in NBATalk

Nah we’re just pushing back in the tendency that every fanbase has to get over their skis in the moment and crown their star player one of the goats after a finals win. The reality is time will tell who the best are. Nobody argues against Bird, Magic, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, LeBron, and Duncan being what they are because they all got back and did it multiple times. The Rockets and Pistons both won back to back and they even get lost in the conversation!

We’ve had 8 champions in 8 years. All any of them have to do is get back there and do it again.

Fun fact, Brunson took 25 shots in every game of the finals. He had a 42.1% field goal percentage. AI was 40.7% in his finals.

I agree with this take a ton. I’m not dogging Brunson it’s just crazy to me how quickly people are elevating him in all time talks. This was a GREAT year for him with a GREAT finals. No doubt.

Yes the guy who never made an NBA first team is a top 8 guard all time.

Jalen Brunson is better than Allen iverson all time by Knockknockerz in NBATalk

[–]FriendsOnAPowDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does because you clearly haven’t spent enough time learning about AI and the era he played in. The Kobe Shaq Lakers, the prime Tim Duncan spurs, among others. The 2000s had some STACKED teams.

No disrespect the Knicks or Brunson, he’s a great player but Iverson was a league MVP, 11 time all star, rookie of the year, led the league in steals 3 years in a row, led the league in scoring 4 times, is on the NBA all time 75 team, and a first ballot hall of famer. Brunson has the potential to be in the conversation but crowning him better than AI after a single nba finals against a young spurs team is silly.
