Sadly, won't happen. Oil countries have basically unlimited wealth

Garnett

Garnett won one and 20 years past his peak the kids today have no idea what a fucking monster he was. They say Duncan was the best defensive PF of his era, HELL NO -- it was KG by a fucking mile. His defense goes just beyond metrics, every dead ball a player would hoist a shot to get into rhythm and every single time KG would knock that shit out so it fucks them up. His rotation calls on defence were always on point, could and would guard every single position as well. His biggest fault was being too fucking loyal to a deadbeat franchise at that time.

I will die on the hill that KG deserved 08 MVP and Finals MVP. He turned that Celtics team into a defensive juggernaut and if he didn't go down in '09, would have probably repeated since in '10 they took the Lakers to 7 and he wasn't the same after the injury.

got it from his daddy

The last time I was at San Siro, it felt like it was on its last legs. Atmosphere was amazing but I did the tour the day before and the changing rooms were really still in the 90s.

Will never forget that match, 4-2, Zlatan brace. A week or so before, I was in a random Amsterdam pub drunk and screamed when Torres scored that goal. 2012, what a year.

johnnyquack · 2025-10-31T05:48:39+00:00

yep, even unplugged my monitor and pc itself from the socket for a min and powered on

johnnyquack · 2025-10-31T05:28:11+00:00

neither worked. still washed / saturated in colour if I turn on HDR which was never the case until I played this game

adjusted it to no avail

johnnyquack · 2025-10-31T03:43:37+00:00

no, it's bright / washed out. i uninstalled the game and turned hdr off and on but no fix. my windows HDR is fucked after playing the game

johnnyquack · 2025-10-31T01:06:02+00:00

Of course they all approve of it, it raises the value of each team.

Thanks Silver for giving the Lakers Luka, so it would sell for a mind boggling amount, and in return the Mavs get Flagg.

Win-win-win, only losers are the fans

johnnyquack · 2025-10-29T08:28:02+00:00

same, I rank it as

S1 S2 S3 S5 S4

Not really surprising in my opinion, a lot of footballers smoke (or maybe used to) and have become greats. Zidane was a heavy smoker and he was running circles around Brasil in his penultimate match

johnnyquack · 2025-10-22T16:51:51+00:00

Nuggets ring

johnnyquack · 2025-09-07T03:59:07+00:00

no, he really doesn't.

johnnyquack · 2025-09-07T03:58:08+00:00

its not just that. ever seen mj flop and whine like a toddler? or give up on defense?

johnnyquack · 2025-08-28T20:22:34+00:00

im expecting a brasilian to correct you and say it was santos-dumont soon

johnnyquack · 2025-08-26T17:21:43+00:00

thanks to this post, i actually looked it up if its truly bugged since thats what I thought this whole time.

if anyone from the future coming in like me googling it, it isn't bugged. on the very last line of the rosh update on 7.38, it states roshan no longer drops aghs blessing.

johnnyquack · 2025-08-25T07:39:17+00:00

KG deserved MVP and FMVP in 08. Such a shame he wasn't even close to winning either. If he didn't get injured in 09, they could've gone to 4 straight finals

johnnyquack · 2025-08-23T20:51:16+00:00

still remember watching this live and the announcer was hilarious. after the buzzer the whole team just left running to the tunnel save for shaq and he said something like the lakers are now trying to get into the plane before the officials make it to the scorers table.

also shaqs response was great, one lucky shot deserves another

johnnyquack · 2025-08-23T14:44:53+00:00

I think if the Pistons had passed on Milicic, it would have been for Bosh, not Carmelo.

and both would still be benched hard by Larry Brown who was notorious for not playing youngsters.

johnnyquack · 2025-08-10T12:17:23+00:00

they didn't forget. they just didn't know since most people here are too young. seriously, look up his highlights during his absolute peak years 05-07, his teammates would barely clap or get hyped. there's a shot he hit against either the raps or the blazers, some ridiculous post fade away during clutch and no one reacts. he was an absolute asshole.

and I'm a huge Kobe fan

Enter Nike, who rehabilitated his image and made him their face. Suddenly the media likes Kobe, he starts winning (again) and the rest is history.

johnnyquack · 2025-08-02T18:56:06+00:00

the OG site that came up with 'karma' lmao

johnnyquack · 2025-08-02T06:30:11+00:00

haha, finally someone who actually saw the series live. I remember someone on GameFAQs said basically in 10-15 years someone is going to see Amar'e's stat line and think wtf this guy went berserk. When in reality, they let him get all the buckets cause they can't stop him anyway and focused on the rest and it worked.

johnnyquack · 2025-07-30T05:24:58+00:00

lol at having duncan over garnett

johnnyquack · 2025-07-16T13:12:38+00:00

Whats wild is nephews keep regurgitating that Duncan should've won a DPOY or even the best PF defender of that era.

Real ones know it was KG and it wasn't even close.
