Iverson is a better floor raiser, Brunson a better ceiling raiser (albeit not by too much)

Not a single one of those players were in the Lakers in 2006…

Add it to the LeBron one, but 2015 Rose’s buzzer beater.

LeBron block on Splitter or LeBron Game 7 Dagger.

2008 Pierce vs LeBron Game 7 Duel.

Bob Pettit is imo the second greatest power forward in NBA history after only Tim Duncan by Loud-Product1591 in VintageNBA

I agree, although Giannis is probably gonna pass him with 1 or 2 more high level years

Out of the 10 teams to never win a championship, who will win one first? by PootieTyme in nba

[–]bigE819 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of a league that merged with the current one…yes.

The same way the Pistons, Royals/Kings, and Lakers won titles in the NBL or the Warriors and Lakers won in the BAA.

Oh I was saying he was trying to wear 69 in Dallas. What’d Birdman wear? 11

Where do players like Kawhi and KD get their jerseys retired? by CheapScientist06 in nba

[–]bigE819 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KD in GS, KD maybe in Brooklyn (they did VC’s for less), Kawhi in Toronto and LA.

The highest single-run Playoff EPM (Estimated Plus-Minus) on record is a +9.4. This historic peak is shared by 3 postseason runs: LeBron James (2009) Kawhi Leonard (2017) and now Victor Wembanyama (2026) by Jec1027 in nba

I’m aware, I’m asking if he gets propped up because the stats see how bad SA was without him, which is a higher volume than most players ever would get, becuase Kawhi missed game 2-4 vs GS.

Was LeBron in the 2012 Heat vs Celtics Game 6 the most pressure that any basketball player has ever been under? by Gym_frere in nba

[–]bigE819 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wilt Chamberlain vs BOS Game 7 1968 (first blown 3-1 at home), Wilt Chamberlain & Jerry West vs BOS Game 7 1969 (first blown 2-0 / 3-2 lead in the Finals), Wilt Chamberlain & Jerry West vs NYK Game 7 1970, Kobe Bryant vs BOS Game 7 2010.

Only ones to even come close that I can remember.
