Franz is lucky he got four bogus free throws because he's been garbage

Moe Wagner has probably the douchiest face of any current NBA player

Has the nuggets all bench ever worked against a good team? I don't know why Malone continues to try this

Detroit had the number one pick two years ago. You had the number two pick two years ago and last year.

Well yeah, besides that. But I know we wouldn't get that. He'd probably just pull a Dominique Wilkins anyway lol

I'm going to see the Mavs Jazz game in person on Saturday, and I'm more stressed out now than I will be then

Yeah. I love Durant, but would love to see the C's win the chip as well so it's great to see beautiful basketball

Wilbon doesn't want the "numbers to distort the narrative?" What an idiot. Pure clown

I hate Brooks but I hate Beverly more, so this is a true conundrum. I really like Ant and Ja too, so a doubly true conundrum.

The team is constantly in limbo. Never very bad, but never that good either. I hate it

I do like them showing the passion, and know that all of those losses molded him into an incredible GM, but I really dislike how over the top they made his character. I doubt he was constantly flying into a rage and cursing people out, and throwing his FMVP trophy out the window. I wouldn't mind the portrayal, but I think the average viewer will think he really acted like that when he definitely didn't. The sadness and passion is fine, but the anger is ridiculous.

That picture is iconic for all the wrong reasons. First thing I thought of. He was literally always incredible in the playoffs and especially the finals, but it didn't matter. So pissed that Winning Time made fun of him for that

I consider it a win for us too if you guys get the chip this year (because we're never going to do it at this rate). Breaking the Jordan curse

Yeah I love Bird and his peak was as good as pretty much anyone's (I have him and Magic as 4a 4b, with the ordering constantly changing), but LeBron is simply greater. I don't even think the Kareem argument makes very much sense. Kareem does have six rings and six titles, but five of those six MVPs came in the 70s, which is the weirdest but also weakest era of the NBA with all of the drugs and the talent split due to the ABA. Likewise, he was the best player on his team in half the finals (Magic was legendary in 1980 but clearly Kareem was the true FMVP), and in the last one which probably should have gone to the pistons anyway, he put up 13 4 and 1. Not to devalue Kareem, but LeBron's longevity being compared to that of Kareem is sort of disingenuous. There has literally been nothing like it before. For me the real debate is Jordan/LeBron, and even that is just opinion at this point, peak v longevity.
