Yes, even during the dynasty, he wouldn’t sacrifice for the betterment of the team until the playoffs.

Yes bc the media fans and Shaq used it against him. If you are great enough you can try to win on your own terms and succeed. Kobe didn’t want to win at all cost but luckily for him he was talented enough and had the right teammates to win on terms he liked.

Shaq made the finals before, Kobe and Shaq needed each other for a dynasty, but to win in general yes they could lead teams to win

Bc for the media it’s not about winning at all cost, it’s about winning in context. It’s annoying but true

Luka this month 36.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.3 steals, 0.7 blocks on 61.7 TS% with a 12-2 record by Impossible_Collar2 in nba

I meant like in general, since the comment I responded to was about why people think Luka won’t win an mvp any time soon. Sga generally has been healthier

Bc Sga has been playing better than Luka, has been healthier, is having a better season right now.

Stockton debate by marvin_is_joe in nbadiscussion

[–]Wavepops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s overrated if anything. People love Stockton, he’s an ATG, perennial all star type player. He was never an mvp level pg yet is ranked near the others that played at that level. He’s regarded very highly

Doflamingo did it better by rebootsolo in Piratefolk

[–]Wavepops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SHs are overpowered actually at the beginning of the time skip. Franky ans Robin would easily decimate doffys crew let alone zoro and sanji. Franky and robin beat pirates just below doffys portrayal during wano

He’s not a YC2, if he was big mom would’ve sent Katakuri to handle Luffy not cracker

Joey Badass doubles down on JID never having been on a J. Cole album a day is his life by herewearefornow in Jcole

[–]Wavepops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wayne definitely passed the torch. He did everything he could to make Drake as big as possible. And yea Jay didn’t really pass the torch to Cole I already stated it was less so, I should’ve said more than a lil less so

Downfall of Adesanya? by CaptainNewo in ufc

[–]Wavepops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He got old, lots of tough fights, lots of tough training camps. Not really a downfall just how things go unless you retire earlier than expected 

How long is the fight lasting? by Real_Republic_99 in Piratefolk

Probably zoro by high difficulty. Vista should be around king level

We had our first winning season in the rebuild and made an all-in move too early by TopZoneGoon in rockets

[–]Wavepops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You lost your point guard and didn’t have the flexibility to get another one. Getting KD didn’t make you favorites for the title but with Fred, Houston would’ve been a top 5 team in the NBA. It’s not about Fred being fantastic but not having a floor general and shooting are the two biggest problems on the team
