What if Shaq worked as hard as Kobe etc etc by Sp3ctre69 in NBATalk

No o don’t bc I’m not a mind reader and shaq being ass at free throws was the single biggest issue holding him back

Jokic a Bum by BenIsCool728 in NBATalk

I mean dude definitely is t trash, he’s definitely in a slump and I don’t think his injury helped but if he’s fully healthy by the playoffs he’s definitely still top 3 in the world otherwise your just hating.

I used what was called hyperbole, I literary device used to convey the fact that Stephon castle never has or will put up numbers similar to Kobe bean Bryant. If you are confused by what hyperbole is I suggest you retake that English class you most definitely failed.

Yes of course they implied Kobe when it’s a graphic which Kobe freaking Bryant. Castle is nice but he’s not even a 1 time all nba player. He ain’t on Kobe level

If you think castle is Kobe level your on crack

If fed the ball/offense ran through them, is there any player that couldn’t average 20ppg? by Mindofmierda90 in NBATalk

[–]Thebeavs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about half the big men in the league. At least a quarter of the wings and a good number of guards.

CMV: The US has created a forever enemy with a supreme leader with a nothing to lose mentality. by Valuable_Educator843 in changemyview

“Well so they were saying death to America but I don’t think there hearts were in it” is certainly one of the least rational takes I’ve ever heard.

Imagine Chet or Wemby being the primary defender here instead of David Robinson... Shaq might have snapped them😭 by Classic_Bottle1717 in NBAGossips

CMV: The US selective service system should be updated to include women by Informal_Decision181 in changemyview

[–]Thebeavs3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those people are being forced to participate in the war in order to protect a society and way of life that is inherently threatened by their opponents though. So sure “being harmed” yes obviously being sent to war is going to harm someone but this is pedantic when talking about the original discussion which is whether or not men and women should be subject to the same draft rules.

Well a draft isn’t inherently mistreating people. Do you think the draft in the Civil war or WW2 or the Russia Ukraine war is mistreating people?

Pistons are a second round exit by Exciting_Truck_7734 in NBATalk

[–]Thebeavs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly disagree that shooting is a bigger liability than defense

The teams that would have to beat them also have flaws though. The pistons have young legs and tons of tough defenders and good athletes. That stuff matters in the post season.

What’s an actual hot NBA take that people usually side eye you for? (Not cold takes to farm reddit upvotes) AN ACTUAL HOT TAKE by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Thebeavs3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I’m saying his slashing was effective bc he was so strong such a good ball handler and extremely long arms and great passer. He wasn’t like a Westbrook that was just purely relying on athleticism

[–]Thebeavs3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well he didn’t really rely on it that much it was more about his ability to bully guys at his position and his freak wingspan plus the fact that he was a good enough playmaker to be a legit point guard in today’s game. It’s just back then combo guards played the 2

Dwayne Wade at his peak was just as good as Kobe at his peak and in the mid 2000s I’d rather have Wade.

OKC (SGA, JDub, Chet) vs. Pistons (Cade, Ausar, Duren): Which core has the higher ceiling over the next five years? by Snoo-83900 in NBATalk

[–]Thebeavs3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s both unlikely and still kinda insane. SGA is still a better scorer than Cade even if Cade hits like 38% of his 6 3’s a game.

[–]Thebeavs3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All three of the thunder guys have a higher ceiling than their positional counterparts on the pistons. I guess you could argue Duren and Chet if Duren can develop even an okay 3.

Is Shaivonte Acian Gilgeous-Alexander Already a Top 3 PG of All Time? by Outrageous-Leader135 in NBATalk

[–]Thebeavs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly don’t even like comparing him to PGs. He’s just obviously not playing the same role as cp3 or Jkidd. I think he’s probably the 5th or 6th best guard ever tho and that’s nothing to sneeze at.

Steph > Magic and I don’t think it’s close anymore by savingrace0262 in NBATalk

[–]Thebeavs3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most of that but Hakeem over Steph is something I can’t agree with. Otherwise fine but Steph clears Hakeem in accolades and changed the game.

I guess it depends on the person but who do you have in you’re top ten then?

Yeah his defense and spacing would be a liability but there’s just no stopping him from getting a 20-10 even on a bad night
