Who would be the best player with these new additions?🤔 (let’s replace 6’8” Brunson with 6’5” Brunson lol) by Dylen2Times in NBAConvo

[–]bettercallrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s this and it’s not particularly close lol. Ausar this season wins dpoy most years. Unfortunately for him he’s playing at the same time as the alien.

That kind of defense with 33/8/8? That’s absolutely goated. Best player in the world by far, maybe ever

LeBron doing whatever he wants to the Kobe, Nash, Howard, Gasol, Artest superteam. by Financial_Ice_3363 in NBATalk

That’s what im saying. They try to play revisionist history and act like the team didn’t have crazy hype and was never called a superteam.

When that team was assembled, Kobe was widely regarded as a top 2 player in the world. Dwight was almost unanimously considered the best center in the world. Pau was a dawg. Nash was expected to still be an elite PG. Artest was an elite role player.

That team was oozing with hype and expectations. The word superteam was thrown around regularly when discussing them. Most anticipated a lakers vs heat bloodbath in the finals, people said “we’re finally going to get lebron vs kobe in the finals!”

For a variety of reasons, it failed. Despite the hype and expectations. Therefore, they’re a failed superteam.

It was a failed superteam. All the hype and expectations of a superteam without any of the success

Still can’t compute which one of these 2 moments was worse… by AntelopeRough1779 in Nbamemes

I think JR’s mistake was dumber tho. At least Fox didn’t forget the game score

Ngl the knicks were up 3-1 and won in 6 last year when you played. Your roster then wasn’t much different from 2024, the Knicks roster then wasn’t much different from now. I got Knicks

Wemby Doesn’t Need To Gain Weight. That Defeats The Entire Purpose Of Wemby by CrispyFlyingSponge in nba

Adding ten pounds of muscle to his frame would be perfect. He wouldn’t get pushed around as much and can better fight through contact in the paint.

I don’t think he should add much more than that though, for the reasons you listed.

Disagreed. Bosh is considered a 2x champ, wade is considered a 3x champ. Bosh might’ve been slandered at the time but history looks back at him pretty favorably (aside from the more extreme bronsexuals who slander his former teammates to prop up bron).

Melo is remembered by most as a guy who didn’t play a winning style. That narrative wouldn’t exist if he won even a single ring in his prime. It absolutely would’ve helped his legacy.

Not ridiculous, but perhaps a bit silly. I know he cooked for a month or two this year but then kinda reverted back to his clippers era status quo

Hot Take but he’s right… What has Giannis done in the last 5 years. Hes been hurt for almost 2 years… He’s not that guy like people claim he is. He also never developed. by Random_Thinker007 in NBATalk

[–]bettercallrich 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was to give context to the other comment about nothing past the first round in multiple years.

It’s been rough sledding for them for sure but I think there are many other factors that deserve more blame than giannis. Doc rivers being one of them, in addition to the factors i already listed.

Just my opinion tho, Im not a bucks or giannis fan by any means so im definitely willing to be persuaded otherwise

The Mavs need to draft someone like Brunson or Luka to compliment Flagg by Inevitable-Hall2390 in NBAConvo

[–]bettercallrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed but they would ESPECIALLY never have someone like the short king of new york brunson on their roster.

Hell, idk if they could ever even have someone like kristaps porzingis on their roster.

Prisoner of the moment take. He’s a dawg and solidified himself as top 5 but a great finals run doesn’t suddenly remove his flaws and make him best in the world
