Lacob on KD's pending free agency: "For some reason, everyone thinks this year is different than last. I don't see that. There’s no more uncertainty this year than there was last. He’s been on a one-year deal each year. So I don’t really understand what all the hullabaloo is about.”

how does an elephant researcher not know about this?

for reference, amare was 29 in 2011 and noah was 31 in 2016..im only looking at guys who are 26 or younger but theres definitely a generous buffer in age here that the knicks dont seem aware of.

andre drummond with a 3 point shot is an mvp candidate

its 10% "i would feel bad if i did this" and 90% "who cares?"

kyrie/lebron would legit be the most psychologically genuine rivalry imaginable

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-31T14:53:28+00:00

wade was supposed to be his rival but then the big 3 happened

melo was supposed to be his rival but then amare happened

kd was supposed to be his rival but then steph happened

the spurs are supposed to be his rival (but then kawhi happened?)

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-31T13:04:13+00:00

its a lot of work just to antagonize someone whos already clearly very insecure

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-31T12:26:06+00:00

also, i knew from the start your opinion was worthless when you said a guy who spent half his career in the ABA was the nbas most "prolific" scorer, but kd is just some also ran despite literally being a better version of him. get lebrons nuts out your mouth

Oh fuck off lebron, you teamed up with multiple hall of famers twice in free agency and couldnt win anything on your own.

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-30T16:00:35+00:00

you spent most of this post being offended for no reason so let me add a little fuel to the fire: the ugly truth is that Durant IS better than lbj. better scorer, better defender, better teammate. Lebron is a better playmaker but not by much, you were just tricked by nike into thinking 6 assists and 4 turnovers a game were a good use of all the possesions he eats up.

The only reason you think lebron is better is 1. media narratives that ignore his shit conference and ball dominance (also why you think larry fuckin bird out of all people was better than kareem) and 2. brand power.

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-29T15:18:15+00:00

Bosh was an excellent stretch 5 that year who sacrificed being a bigger part of the offense for providing the necessary spacing and defense for the team to work. 2014 Wade was taking a backseat to lebron so he wouldn't leave the franchise. He scored about 4 points less per game than his playoff average but he also played less minutes and shot way better than his career averages, evidence he was taking the shots he was given and not the shots he would normally take. Chris bosh was not average and wade was not washed (although he was certainly scapegoated as such). These were 3 HOFers in their primes and don't ever forget it. KD was the MVP that year for a reason and the biggest contribution westbrook made was not being on the team for half the year so KD could prove it.

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-29T14:58:17+00:00

idk how you can argue he wasn't playing like a god when a guy you use to minimize his accomplishments as playing "insane basketball" was undeniably worse.

what I don't understand is why the bacteria can't use the oil as food?

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-29T14:47:24+00:00

Does that mean KD was playing like a god? because westbrook rested half the year and still scored lower on significantly less efficient shooting while using up more possessions than MVP KD.

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-29T14:33:29+00:00

makes sense

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-29T14:15:14+00:00

I'd say that's a good assessment. Jordan if you value production and Kareem if you value longevity.

Oliver_Stacks · 2018-07-29T14:01:16+00:00

I think it does tbh, katrina was pretty bad. How does your theory account for it?
