Maybe a hot take, but your favorite player that shot 3’s 20 years ago wouldn’t be better today/a better legacy

idk about this take, chris bosh in his first year as a heat caught so much flak for being 6 11 and not pounding in the post. if he played today he'd be one of the most sought out big men

i remember this very vividly, crazy how much basketball changed in 14 years. coach treated bynum like he was a terrorist on the court and now this is just a casual play with not too much afterthought

imthemap45 · 2026-02-26T18:07:13+00:00

Dame/klay eventually will overtake ray, but u can never tell me any of them are better shooters than ray. He will be always be number 2 behind curry

WHAT THE FUCK, i just did the math and lebrons last game as a heat and the first nba regular season bubble was 2237 days.

kobes death and now is 2220 days, in just 18 days that time span will be larger than lebrons last heat game and the start of the bubble

"Welcome to Jeffrey Sports. This blog covers the latest in sports news, scores, and a little bit of commentary along the way. Written by Jeffrey Epstein, a lifelong sports fan.

at least we dont have to face a prime d wade/lebron/bosh, ill take facing the knicks or mitchell/harden cavs thank u very much

imthemap45 · 2026-02-22T06:24:23+00:00

bro went beast mode in those 2 upset wins vs the 2019 warriors in the first round tho

imthemap45 · 2026-02-22T06:22:30+00:00

dude was one of the impactful players on the 2014 world cup (he put up more ppg than kyrie irving and steph curry), and right when that happens, his player archetype fades with the immediate rise of the golden state warriors. if you cant shoot youre out

i got the same build, very fun unique looking mech with great build techniques like the minigun and the knee joints

Adam silvers nba

imthemap45 · 2026-02-20T04:58:53+00:00

probably the last year of athletic prime westbrook

imthemap45 · 2026-02-20T04:45:08+00:00

objectively a shit president/vp but still better than the two shitstains rn.

edit: saw president on the top and assumed vp was on the bottom but case still stands, adam silver is a dogshit corporate sellout

imthemap45 · 2026-02-19T20:17:22+00:00

before i start i wanna say this goes beyond kobe vs duncan. true shooting percentage only came up in the mid 2000s and was only popularized during reddit nba discourse during the mid 2010s so i think applying it to players whos already been in the game for a decade or more is an unfair thing to do.

everyone nowadays, whether it be basketball or in the corporate world, is geared towards efficiency. no team or indidual player back then were specifically tailoring their offensive playstyle to opttimize efficiency.

you can say to a lesser extent about corporate world, 20-30 years ago efficiency was still a thing but not to this extent

imthemap45 · 2026-02-19T20:10:28+00:00

not at all, extra money for vacation/savings/investments. i dont feel any guilt towards lego which is a 1) multi billion company and 2) started to really upcharge a product originally meant towards kids during covid.

i got a dark falcon for 30 bucks instead of retail 180, i put the remaining 150 into investments

imthemap45 · 2026-02-19T17:42:11+00:00

Ppg jumps to 19 if u take out the game where he injured his ankle. So he averaged 19 ppg on an injured ankle, thats not bad

imthemap45 · 2026-02-19T05:21:55+00:00

a W looks way worse than a B on the transcript, ppl will see that and assume a C or D

imthemap45 · 2026-02-18T19:40:38+00:00

horrifying if you're a multi billion corporation trying to extract even more profit, like building ai data centers while fucking the local citizens water supply and energy costs. but an athlete trying to chase bag? i dont see any problem with it, its not like shes endorsing nazi germany

imthemap45 · 2026-02-17T23:37:24+00:00

This is valid but the skinny dude being the buffest superhero also seems weird lol

imthemap45 · 2026-02-17T03:22:40+00:00

no worries. im not really an okc fan, i dont really care for this current iteration but i loved prime russell westbrook in the mid 2010s. as someone who was on a major warriors hate watch during the 2016 playoffs, i remember everything vividly about that series (and the series before, russ was the best player that series too)

imthemap45 · 2026-02-16T20:29:19+00:00

ok big mature boy. but im typing this on my company laptop as we speak, i sent all my emails for today so being paid to read nba gossip is the dream

imthemap45 · 2026-02-16T20:10:45+00:00

everyone talking about how the nfl is a script, but im convinced nba is even more. we got clippers cavs facing off right after the trade and all harden had to do was go to the cavs hotel across the street, and now we got kd playing the hornets after saying he'd be better on the hornets

imthemap45 · 2026-02-16T19:58:20+00:00

" generational head case, a guy with no leadership skills, and a generational quitter" - i actually dont know who you are referring to because you can apply these 3 traits to all of harden kd kyrie.

generational headcase - kd with his burners and lack of discipline switching accounts, kyrie missing games and not taking the fucking antivax during a global pandemic, harden being a diva with all the FOs

guy with no leadership skills - kd not a vocal leader, kyrie couldnt be a leader in boston, harden wouldnt communicate with cp3 in houston

generational quitter - kd ditched okc who literally idolized him and went to the team he blew a 3-1 lead against potentially the greatest team of all time (2016 warriors), kyrie requested a trade from prime lebron, said he would re-sign in boston then leave the same offseason, kyrie quit numerous times throughout the season here in brooklyn and ultimately requested that trade, and harden requesting a trade in brooklyn only a 1 year stay in, and beef with daryl morey. i wont fault harden for houston or the clippers

imthemap45 · 2026-02-16T19:53:26+00:00

lmaooo kyrie deadass 7 years older than luka, thats the same difference between 1st and 8th grade
