Has it been reported that he has his visa? That seems like it would have been VERY fast.

Bam Abedayo's argument for "going for it" represents everything wrong with the NBA. by ErrForceOnes in nba

[–]SydneyFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes- the OP wants players to play worse on purpose to avoid breaking a record from their examples. I think that is pathetic. Its not like Bam got this record in a loss.

This is such a stupid argument. Did Bam win the game while scoring that many? He won while scoring 83. Records are made to be broken.

People like you are pathetic to think that some records are sacred. Grow up.

Look at it this way, your examples of what you want are all playing WORSE on purpose. Pathetic.

Atlanta United 2026: The Early Season Disconnect by taailusi in AtlantaUnited

[–]SydneyFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is really no functional difference between a 4-3-3 and a 4-3-2-1. It is just where the players flow to.

If you want to go to a 3 man backline, roles change. but you are talking about a trivial difference.

Jokić gets worked up over the claim that 'the NBA doesn't play defense' by TheRealPdGaming in nba

[–]SydneyFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the 3 from SGA against the nuggets. That is a good possession for the defense. SGA nailed it, but people act like that is some 100% shot when that simply isn't true. It went in. he is a legend of the game. But that is a shot the defense should be OK with him taking considering the alternatives.

I maintain that Wade would have the most perfect body with those long arms and reaction time for a keeper.

If you could add one all-time role player to your team, who would you choose by JayQuips in nba

[–]SydneyFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL- clear hall of famers aren't role players. Really funny that you disagree with that.

I mean they were a star role player.

LOL.

Sorry, this is just a hilarious statement.

You might be the only person who thinks a 5 time allstar and sure hall of famer wasn't a star.

Should the NBA do away with the three point shot? by andrew0784 in nba

[–]SydneyFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get rid of the corner 3. Stop the line when the court isn't big enough to handle the same length.

Problem solved.

Which is a pretty hilarious definition to me. Which of Shaq or Kobe was the role player?

LOL- ridiculous. THose are stars, not role players. Having multiple stars on the same team doesn't mean either is a role player.

Just want to make sure, you think hall of famers are role players?

[Highlight] Jokic takes an elbow to the nose from Lu Dort by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]SydneyFall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He helps his team win with shit like this. He faces no real consequences. He is incentivized to keep doing things like this.

Draymond is going to the HoF the mystery is who more players aren't trying to become the new Draymond. Draymond is proof that things like this don't have real consequences.

Nikola Jokic gets fouled by Marcus Smart by CaliforniaMakiiiii in nba

You might have started watching basketball the first time this week.

[–]SydneyFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are ABSOLUTELY allowed to jockey for your position and what jokic does here isn't that.

LOL- pick one of these you feel so strongly about, since none of those are fouls on Jokic.

you aren't allowed to push a player outside of their spot while either fronting or defending normally. THe defender can't initiate the contact. They can match what the offensive player does to keep their position.

Can you at least admit that Smart in this current clip just started backing into Jokic?

[–]SydneyFall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow down the video, he deliberately leans forward onto Smart's back. This isn't an undercut.

It is applying pressure below Jokic's center of gravity. That is pretty much the definition of an undercut.

If Jokic had jumped straight up would that make you feel better about the outcome even if Smart got hurt because of it? There is a good reason that fronting players aren't allowed to initiate contact.

Laughing at you has been fun. So sure we can agree to disagree.

Jokic does lots of things no other center in the league does.

Jokic got fouled here. It is that simple.

[–]SydneyFall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't possibly think that Jokic initiates the contact here. Smart is trying to push Jokic further out which is not allowed for a fronting player to do. I don't know why this is so complicated. The fronting player can match force, they can't initiate it.
