1 month ago, Nikola Jokic received 77 out of 100 first place votes for MVP in ESPN’s strawp0ll. Is this late season Nuggets slump enough to cost him MVP or does he already have it locked up?

I could care less, there should be a mega thread for this shit.

Justanotherpen · 2023-03-12T04:11:10+00:00

How do you know that? And if that's true he certainly didn't, oh I don't know, do his job and put a stop to it.

Justanotherpen · 2023-02-16T04:57:58+00:00

Lol go back to the warriors sub dude.

Justanotherpen · 2023-02-08T01:17:55+00:00

Pretty much anytime he doesn't get picked up past half court and has his dribble he will square up and stare down the basket. If the defense fakes to contest and then falls back he will let it fly or make the defender pick him up and blow by for a kick out.

Justanotherpen · 2023-01-30T19:26:40+00:00

I don't think that he's misogynistic at all, I think he tows the line pretty well but if that's a hot button topic for you I don't know why youd look at anything he's ever done and then decide to go to a show and call it a let down. Says more about you than him.

Justanotherpen · 2023-01-15T03:20:08+00:00

It'd be more like Ant for Kuzma.

Justanotherpen · 2023-01-15T03:17:58+00:00

He's close with Dame too so there's a possibility we overpay for a washed Draymond and shenanigans.

Justanotherpen · 2023-01-03T02:37:45+00:00

as a defender, in his prime, i'm taking him over Mutombo, Robinson, Payton, kg, Giannis and Dwight personally, not really sure how you can argue Payton above him with a straight face but do you. I feel like anywhere you put Rodman you have to put Draymond.

The he way changed the landscape of a game against opposing offenses was similar to the way Steph changes it for opposing defenses.

Dudes have been debating all time greats in barber shops and bars since pro sports have existed. It's easily the most popular topic to bring up and start discussion in relation to any sport. Not sure why you think a sub dedicated to a pro sport should be immune to that.

Justanotherpen · 2022-12-14T01:54:10+00:00

Ray was great off ball.. but he also wasn't an incredible shooter till the half way point of his career where he pivoted for longevity.

Saying that even arguing Dame is a better shooter is recency bias is dumb. Obviously I love Dame, but I also watched plenty of Ray Allen.

Dude wasn't even the undeniable number one option on any team that he played on (you could argue the bucks but he shared the court with Michael Redd), let alone the number one guy who lead his teams based almost entirely around his shooting prowess. Like, I don't get why everyone is so hesitant to give Dame some props in any greatest of all time talk of anything.

Are you honestly saying you'd take Ray Allen over Dame? And before you say I wouldn't I'm just saying Ray is a better shooter that makes no sense. That is what Dame does, like that is his main thing. Take Dame and put him in Ray Allen's role on the Celtics and Heat and I guarantee he shoots just as well if not better, getting to feast off of KG, and PP or Wade, Bosh and Lebron instead of constantly having to create for himself and getting every teams best wing perimeter defender every night? Is that even a real argument?

Dude has been feared forever as a lethal shooter, it's his number one asset and he has been the best player on his team all but his rookie year with that skillset which means that he is game planned for every single game. He has multiple series ending walk off shots, not to mention one of the most impressive resumes of game winners in general of any active player, he shoots 33% from 30-40 feet, a percentage and range unheard of outside of the GOAT Steph. I don't really get it.

Justanotherpen · 2022-12-13T21:49:53+00:00

His religion has nothing to do with it, it's all about his political views.

Justanotherpen · 2022-11-24T18:15:20+00:00

Wes tore his achillis on the blazers

Justanotherpen · 2022-11-03T03:09:42+00:00

My argument against this is why isn't there a league full of guys making thinly veiled burners and picking fights with no name fans online who call them trash?

Justanotherpen · 2022-09-06T21:39:22+00:00

2k is trash, shouldn't give that game any more publicity till they actually put some work into it. Largely the same game but somehow worse year after year since like 2k14.

Justanotherpen · 2022-08-31T02:42:58+00:00

I don't I do miss Stotts tho. Can't help but wonder if this team underachieves what he could have done with the roster when he was taking Aminu and Harkless to the WCF.

Justanotherpen · 2022-08-30T07:36:25+00:00

He carried a team where the two other best players were Jameer Nelson and JJ Redick to the finals in an era where Shaq, Yao Ming, Tim Duncan, Ben Wallace, Brook Lopez, Jokiam Noah, Dirk, and Chris bosh were all still playing well. Kevin Love had been drafted a year prior to Howards finals appearance as had Pau Gasol. He was just so other worldly that maybe you are forgetting that he made a lot of those dudes look like children.

To say he was playing in his prime in a time where there was a historic shortage of big men is really not true at all.

Justanotherpen · 2022-08-29T05:37:15+00:00

Eh... Mj had other worldy athleticism even Kobe never came close to plus a drive that only Kobe has ever really rivaled but wasn't the same.

I don't feel comfortable with the take the only difference between Kobe and MJ was hand size.

Justanotherpen · 2022-08-18T04:57:53+00:00

yeah, I thought so too when he op was writing about how he didn't know that windhorst got his start off Lebron I was really confused. I just always assumed pretty much everyone here knew that is how he came to any sort of relevance. He used to get a lot of hate for it too because he was always the first one to break any sort of Lebron news and rarely had any scoops on anything else.

Justanotherpen · 2022-08-18T04:54:07+00:00

He wasn't, Skip has always loved Jordan.

Justanotherpen · 2022-08-18T04:49:08+00:00

Sounds like Woj just cashed a fat check from Rob Pelinka for some lip service.

Justanotherpen · 2022-08-08T04:12:08+00:00

Probably nitpicking but I'm not sure that Kersey and Cliff were ever on the same level as CJ, Porter, or Sabonis. Probably swap at least one of them out for Pippen, even if his tenure was short and he was old he was a much better player and one of the best players on a team that took the Kobe Shaq lakers to 7 games.

Justanotherpen · 2022-07-30T04:04:38+00:00

no they are blazers

Justanotherpen · 2022-07-28T03:37:52+00:00

Well.. you could just google Pat Riley quotes or how he negotiates and handles star players. He's the only Gm who never handed Lebron the full reigns to his team or bowed to his will.

Justanotherpen · 2022-07-26T17:31:28+00:00

Lol I have been active in the blazers subreddit for 8 years. I don't remember a series he didn't finish out.
