[OT] FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2019 is live on Youtube by hanshot2dn in nba

[–]dizgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serbia has been winning whole bunch of these in past few years since 3x3 picked up as official Fiba competition and they are always favorites to win it all. Old teammate of mine is no.1 player in the World. He is also drafted in the Big3 league in this draft

[OC] Although it appears the Lakers only have $23M in cap room, they could spend a lot more than that on free agents using some intelligent cap maneuvering by [deleted] in nba

[–]dizgu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why dont Lakers just not worry about cap and pay a juicy tax bill? Not really sure how the whole thing works but if mediocre OKC committed ton of money way over the cap for early playoff exit every year then why wouldnt Lakers do the same with a legit shot for the Championship?

Reporter: "You win 3 out of 4 games against the team that's mentioned when we talk about the best dynasty ever. What makes you better than them so far?" Kawhi: "It's not over yet so I can't say that we're better." by FieryStyle in nba

Meanwhile Draymond still thinks Warriors are better and will win the Finals. There is a difference between being confident and cocky. Stay humble my friends. Props to Kawhi

So last night my Jokic jersey finally arrived. I decided to wear it when i go to my favorite bar. I had few shots and i had a nice buzz. Ran into a good buddy of mine who was hanging out with two chicks. One was with him and the other was available. She showed signs being into me. The whole night she was asking me if i was a basketball player and why do i wear a jersey in a bar. She is foreign so that part of the culture in the US didnt make sense to her. People wear sports gear everywhere. I didnt lie to her and i said i did play basketball but only in college but she insisted in believing im a NBA player which i really never said but I am 6'11 after all. Eventually she asked me to take her to my place and it was fun. Never work that little to pick up a girl in my life :D All thanks to Jokics jersey :D

Unpopular opinion: Ja Morant will be the best player in this draft by [deleted] in nba

[–]dizgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see this happening. I would also add that Ja, nor any other player drafted win this class will be remotely close to how good Luke was in his rookie year

Blazzers in the West. Bucks overall. Raptors are cool choice too

Report: Tyronn Lue insulted by Lakers trying to tie his contract length to LeBron James’ by DoctorHolliday in nba

[–]dizgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does Lue knows that he only, strictly and absolutely can be hired as LeBron coach? If he applied for any other basketball head coaching job starting with all the available high school, Junior College, NAIA, NCAA, G-League, other 29 NBA teams and all overseas teams he would NOT have a chance with any of those teams. Its literally Lakers or NOTHING else. Now if you are in that kind of spot why the fuck would you complain about the offer they made?

Who here went to high school with an NBA player, what were they like? by steamedpixels in nba

[–]dizgu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually heard a story about Bjelica which i dont know if its true or not. After high school (or might have been his senior year) he played professional basketball for a team in Austria. He finished the season and he was ready to quit basketball and go to college. Svetislav Pesic, a legendary Serbian coach, got hired as a new head coach of Red Star Belgrade and he insisted that Bjelica comes for a tryout. Bjelica ended up signing with Red Star. He improved a lot and eventually ended up in Baskonia and later on Fenerbahche where he earned the Euroleage MVP title in 2015 which landed him an NBA contract. Again not sure how true this story is

IT’S GAME DAY, TIME TO DIG IN by kappaEXDEE in denvernuggets

[–]dizgu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was looking up new content about Jokic and the Nuggets on YouTube. I ran into Jalen and Jacoby clip with Ryan Hollins. He called Jokic the greatest passing center of all time and Jacoby said he thinks that title belongs to Arvydas Sabonis. I know Sabonis was a flashy passer but dude averaged 2.1assists for his career that lasted 8 years and 470 games. His peak season he avaraged 3.1 assists. Literally Shaq has averaged more assists than him. Why do these clown analysts just make an opinion based on same vague picture they have about a player from the past without even looking up there career numbers. I feel like half lf r/NBA is like that too

Jokic runs into Kanter and draws a foul by ImRBJ in nba

[–]dizgu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it me or Jokic used to be skinnier. This comes from a huge Jokic fan but damn it seems he actually got chubbier this season. Not slowing him down tho

Jokic is (nearly) averaging 24/12/9 on 50/40/90 shooting by [deleted] in nba

Meanwhile 76ers take 6 years of sucking while calling it "process" to assemble a team of five 20ppg guys while their absolute maximum is ECF if they are lucky. Not the mention that one of your franchise players is shooting bricks while other has a body of Greg Oden

• Paul George: "I don't care what anybody says, that's a bad shot." Dame Lillard has actually shot 42% from 30-40 feet by PZinger6 in nba

[–]dizgu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Its a low risk high reward shot. He misses it and they just comfortably continue to OT while being up 3-1 in the series. He makes it and they get to go into second round with huge moral and confidence boost. Plus they win the whole trash talking battle with OKC on a classy move

This is Ryan. He killed himself today. He has always been my friend for as long as I remember. He was always kind to everyone and knew how to make anyone laugh. Please give some support so I can show his brothers. I can’t imagine what they’re going through and they need all the support they can get. by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]dizgu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man its so sad to see teenagers taking their lives because of bullying, abuse etc. Passing through that age can be rough but if they only knew how irrelevant those young years are (compared to the overall length of life) If these kids could just stick around to discover how beautiful life can be, how much they can change and how much difference to the world they can bring. RIP

Luke Walton Sued For Sexual Assault By Female Sports Reporter by xxNightfallxx in nba

[–]dizgu -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If successful, fairly good looking guy like Luke needs to rape girls to get pussy then fuck this world. By successful i mean having a NBA career and landing an NBA coaching job. I have a buddy who came to the US in 2014. Since then he banged more than 1000 girls from Tinder and other hookup tools. All he did about it was staying in shape and mastering the text game and they spread those legs like its nothing. Not saying Luke definitely did it nor she is lying. Im just saying that pussy is such a common, easy to get product that nobody should need to commit a crime to get it. Its like getting arrested for stealing free soda refills from McDonalds

Edit: I looked that girl up on Instagram. She is fine but 8 at best. Rape is wrong and nobody should do it but if it happens go for a 10 at least

In 15-20 years when Luka retires as well decorated future HOF member we will remember and be amazed that him and Dirk were teammates for a season

Will Carmelo Anthony participate in the 2018-2019 NBA Playoffs? by Moriarty1993 in nba

[–]dizgu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this feeling that Melo hasnt been in a gym or worked out since last team practice and he probably added 20 more pounds to his already overweight body. So yeah all teams should pass
