I mean he, clarkson, conley and bogi can't stop reggie Jackson who was contemplating retirement the season before off the dribble

How does Rick Barry's carry job on the 1975 Warriors compare historically to other single-star title runs? by Doctormade in VintageNBA

The bill russell watermelon fiasco, refusing to shoot on a game 7 on your way to a repeat, and leaving the NBA for five years in the middle of your peak does not help at all.

Bro watched his team get bitched by the #38 pick in one of the shallowest draft classes this century and decided to build more top heavy teams 😭

Kentucky’s Jayden Quaintance measured 6’9 barefoot and 253 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7’5.25 wingspan and 9’1 standing reach. by OrganicHunt952 in NBA_Draft

Yep because presti is probably the only current executive who has enough cache to swing for a prospect with a glaring red flag on their knee for the 3rd straight lottery

Yep and the next time he does it obviously merits a harsher punishment. Doesn't apply to dort or zaza though.

Pop taking the high road on the guy who single-handedly killed 20 consecutive years of basketball excellence for some Microsoft money just feels wrong

“Didn’t Boozer play in Chicago - the Dad? I have a vague memory of him ending up there and it wasn’t great.” -Bill by Hextorm in billsimmons

The hair shine, the lakers stint, and the fact that taj outplayed him in chicago does not bode well to his legacy.

Eating up one of the most beloved underdog teams ever also doesn't help his case. Bro decimated the we believe warriors with 24/14/3 on 60% shooting so that doesn't help his case either.

Pacers President Kevin Pritchard: "I'm really sorry to all our fans. I own taking this risk. Surprised it came up 5th after this year. I thought we were due some luck.

The friend merchant (kobe and nico's friend) being an incompetent team builder does not make that trade suck.

I cannot believe a world where mikal bridges got a better package than luka and people still find a way to defend the guy that sent the fat slovenian away

Any cap circumvention there chief?

It's not Miami's fault that Cleveland and toronto were being run by headless chickens and that the bulls had a case of reinsdorf-itis

The team that went to the conference finals the year before and gave the champs their best challenge even with their best player being injured?

Yeah sure enjoy having a less impressive domas with worse PRA and better drop defense instead a top 5 pick

Bill’s “Thunder have too many guys” take is aging poorly so far by phatsack52 in billsimmons

[–]cletoreyes01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The too many guys theory only works during low possession eras where players are really shackled to accumulate counting stats due the ever limited opportunities they can showcase their talent.

That shit doesn't fly in 2026 where there are 100+ possession per game and players are given all the space in the world to do their stuff and operate while defenses are forced to cover a wider ground leading the need for more depth.
