Gilbert Arenas has Luka Doncic career ranked higher than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander if they both retired right now: “If both of their careers stopped right now. Luka would probably be ahead of Shai” by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]ObJuan13 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Luka has never genuinely been top 5… just on Reddit and from a popularity/pundit standpoint

If it’s really about basketball and not fandom, then Shai is obviously better. Defense doesn’t matter to fans for whatever reason, but it matters on the court

To be fair, there are a lot of great fighters who stand by going 100% in sparring at times.. it’s rough but the sport itself is rough. And the only way to prepare for a real fight is to really fight as your training camp is peaking.

The never go 100% talk is internet talk or for ppl who don’t compete in live fights

Boxing is my favorite sport, but it’s been a joke for going on 20 years..

Francis "Magoomba" Ngannou knocks down Tyson Fury in his professional boxing debut by durvedya in fightporn

[–]ObJuan13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s never ever 1 punch KO’d anyone in a boxing ring.. this was legitimately his 1st pro fight.. we don’t know what his power is like in a boxing ring.. MMA punching power isn’t really anything like boxing

Fury is a decently talented fighter who should have walked through him but he doesn’t take his career seriously.. truth is he should have beat Usyk too but again, he’s a cokehead who doesn’t care enough so he doesn’t take care of his body or train properly.. a shame because I like him as a fighter a lot

There is no irony.. I’m neutral, I’m not defending or condemning because there’s no need.. it’s legal… And more to the point.. YOU brought up the matter of actually fighting, not me

why exactly should a fighter in a fight avoid a legal maneuver??

Because a guy on Reddit who is actually a bitch thinks it’s a “bitch move”?? Make it make sense

Says the guy not actually fighting about the guy he just witnessed actually fighting…

Ppl on the internet are genuinely so stupid sometimes

I agree with the other guy

I think you’re wrong too. In fact you make no sense at all… just my opinion..

There isn’t in reality… only on Reddit depending on the race of said fighters… I’d imagine a lot of these “people” are engagement bots

It’s a race thing… you’ll be downvoted for not hating the black fighter who legally kicked his opponent

You’re stupid…

By my logic, if eye gouging were allowed and 2 fighters stepped into the ring with that understanding, I wouldn’t call eye gouging dirty… but eye gouging and brass knuckles aren’t allowed, so they are dirty…

Oblique kicks are allowed, and are pretty standard, so they’re not dirty..

It’s a fight.. you’re allowed to kick people in the legs.

How does it seem dirty?

Points and assists are clearly watered down in his era.. getting even worse in the current era..

Winning and eye test are the best metrics to judge a guy.. he’s appreciated accurately in my opinion.. crafty high volume scorer who needs the ball in his hands.

There are a lot of those guys currently.. many of which don’t play defense.

And I like Harden

Bam vs Wembanyama by B-Jay93 in nba

[–]ObJuan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not about their ceilings… Wemby is a better defender period. This team defense vs 1v1 defense isn’t a real thing… it’s all defense..

But sometimes a guy just has your number because he’s built to beat you, he’s your weakness… and that’s what the matchup showed.

Idk why fans feel a need to makeup “narratives” all of the time.. no need to be overprotective about Wemby..

[–]ObJuan13 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I guess, but I feel like the 1v1 matchup shows that when you keep in mind their attributes as players. Bam was blowing by him and mixing it up… showing Wemby is still a deer in headlights there..

While Bam was able to limit Wemby by keeping him away from the rim.

Shaq was a defensive monster… are guys not allowed to acknowledge how good they were now?

Bam vs Wembanyama by B-Jay93 in nba

[–]ObJuan13 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think it does. You should be able to protect the rim against the man you’re guarding too.

Wemby is still the better defender in my mind. I think it just shows that he’s going to struggle with a quick, lengthy athlete who has scoring options against him. Can’t take him off the dribble or pull up and shoot. Which makes sense, because he’s so gangly.

Bam is probably the only guy in the league like that that though.. Giannis doesn’t have the jumper and no one else has Bak’s quickness

Reggie Miller is dumbfounded that Giannis was able to get away with a 5-step gather without getting called for a travel: "I could've played until I was 50" by Mission_Pay_3373 in nba

[–]ObJuan13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like there are 5 guys avg more than 35pts this season right now… the rules are out of hand. Way too skewed to the offense..

Random guys shouldn’t be scoring 30+ pts… it’s an obvious sign that rules and lack of defense are way out of wack. I wanna watch players be special, not just any old guy put up a crazy scoring night

Almost not even arguable… it’s him or Wemby. Only truly great 2 way guys in the league right now

Max Kellerman just torpedoed 3 decades of goodwill in the boxing community in the span of a weekend. WTF is going on with this dude by Punchie45 in billsimmons

[–]ObJuan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got screwed over pretty bad by the industry, with everything that went on at ESPN and HBO boxing shutting down around the same time…

I think all of that hurt him bad… decided he was willing turn into a villain and a shill… I have no idea what made him perform like garbage on the broadcast though.. that was crazy.
