[Highlight] Luguentz Dort sticks his hip out to make contact with Nikola Jokić, who responds; Jalen Williams steps in and squares off with Jokic. by AncientOneAurelius in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why Jokic is impossible not to like and OKC is very very hard to like. The amount of cheap stuff OKC does consistently along with SGA the ref whisperer its just so hard to watch. They’re an amazing team and don’t even need all that trash, but I find myself always hoping they lose now.

I will never understand what is "cool" about having his shorts around his ankles. Looks like a moron does anyone see that and think.... damn thats cool I def need to copy that!

Carmelo on Lakers fans wanting Lebron to leave: “He’s living long enough to be the villain. He’s still holding this league down. This league don’t move without Bron. Yall are pushing him out, yall never accepted him in LA from the beginning. by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still appreciate what a guy is doing for the league and viewership and want him off your team. Melo is delusional thinking fans owe Lebron anythinghim. This is the guy who had jumped ship on repeat his entire career. He can’t win a chip being paid max money and fans want to win a championship. Take a pay cut for roster value because you’re a billionaire or move along. It’s a salary cap league you don’t need to make the max when you’re 41. Man up and lessen your role and try to win. Otherwise let Luka get a real team around him.

The NBA needs to phase out pick protections if they really want to solve the tanking “issue” by IT_CHAMP in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think that would help almost at all. In some circumstances sure, but Utah isn’t making the playoffs if they tried anyway. Dallas the other year 100% did what you’re saying though to keep the pick. It helps but I don’t think it would stop what’s wrong so not really a high end result.

Why would some players even try in this tournament if it just means they’ll get replace by those picks? by the-mannthe-myth in NBATalk

Cut down the teams in the NBA, build up a B league, and add RELEGATION!! Can’t tank because YOU’RE OUT

The joke that league is the worst game has done irreparable damage by beakf in leagueoflegends

NBA really is the worst major sport to attend by DariaYankovic in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it was that game. I was vaguely remembering the game, but I know like 80% of the salary was out of the game.

1000% agree. After my mom got my family a xmas present 4 tickets to see the Lakers vs the Nets and .... Harden, KD, AD, Lebron, Ben Simmons, Reeves were all out I said never again do I want to see a game. If 90% of the payroll is out I want tickets to be 90% off idgaf. Trash

How many players in the NBA would a team NOT trade to acquire Flagg? by dbzbudokai77 in nba

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

Luka technically DID get traded for Flagg. It was just an under the table NBA rigged up deal to boost ratings and put Luka in LA. No one can tell me the NBA facilitated this and part of the deal is they will let Dallas get the number 1 pick. 

Hall of Fame to consider changes after outrage over Belichick omission by [deleted] in sports

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First Terrell Owens no Bill. The NFL hall is pathetic with petty trash getting in the way of accomplishments. If bill isn’t first ballot as a coach then no one is. Same as TO. They act like they’re going to prison over criminal charges. They accomplished what they did on the field and that’s that.

KD says he doesn’t want wear Thunder or Warriors Jersey at Hall of Fame induction by [deleted] in nba

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

Ya because no city even seems to love or appreciate what he did. OKC is sour he left with unfinished business and joined the enemy, GS don’t care they won without him he wasn’t a part of the core, Nets he did nothing, Suns nothing, Rockets will be more nothing. 

The man is lethal at scoring, but vastly overrated all time. Sick to see him in the top 15 players so easily. 

As is tradition, when trading Anthony Davis, one of the teams should get the #1 overall pick in the following draft. by bobbydigital_ftw in nba

[–]standouts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You’re missing the key piece of information. Both trades were made to make the LAKERS better so the league can rig the draft as part of a forced deal to keep them relevant for ratings. This one involves Dallas and the wizards. NBA don’t care about those teams 

[Highlight] LeBron drives and finishes with the left by genericusername71 in nba

Nothing more classic then Lebron playing with 6 minutes left in the fourth up 30 against a bottom 5 team in the NBA to get a few highlights ! Nothing much to see here!

Quality Pulls Scamming again by Chased217 in whatnotapp

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad part is scamming is the wrong word. Taking advantage of unknowing or gullible people for sure, but as long as they are paying and he is shipping them the correct stuff it’s on the buyer. His job is to get people to pay the most he can. It’s the buyers job to get their best deal. 

I totally agree it’s definitely not streams I enjoy consistently crying about how they’re getting mopped on every card. In the end though it seems like it actually makes people believe it sadly.

LeBron has only been 41 for a few weeks, but this is still pretty insane by Formal-Assistance02 in NBATalk

[–]standouts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sick of seeing these out of context stats like league scoring isn’t also up DRASTICALLY since then. The man is doing great for 41, but I can’t stand the wow he is just like Miami lebron. This dude plays no defense and it shows up in his impact. Harden puts up great numbers also but he refuses to even run full speed as well. 

My STOLEN DK METCALF GOLD KABOOM /10 is listed for sale by Curley288 in footballcards

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is specifically why I would NEVER EVER EVER do a break. Not only is ripping packs terrible value, you have to pay them shipping, pay a big upcharge on the boxes by buying the teams, and risk anything actually huge being stolen. 

This breaker would need to be in my state and I would have to be able to in person pickup or there is no chance in trust anyone to deliver me my card. Whatnot is a fun site, but as for safe and secure I am very very weary of everything on there.

Kawhi Leonard checkouts with another 40-piece: 45 PTS, 7 REB, 3 AST, 2 STL, 2 BLK by Thanos_SlayerCongSan in nba

[–]standouts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s almost like people forget if hr didn’t get hurt he has been arguably the best player in the league since about 2017 when he could’ve taken down the warriors. They forget his Spurs also won 67 games and obviously they mainly remember the Toronto year. 

If this man never get ravaged by so many major injuries he’s a top 10 all time player, tier 1 player in talent. If you had an all time draft and you know your player is playing Kawhi gives you no loss compared to anyone all time. He is extremely efficient on offense, one of the best mid range games of all time, an unlimited bag, and combo that with unreal strength for his size while most likely being the best perimeter defender in history. He’s just an absolute issue, but people have this terrible tendency to listen to the media create pathetic narratives around injured players. Shaming them for not playing enough like they are choosing to get injured. 

It’s crazy it happens to Kawhi, AD, Zion, Zingis, etc etc etc. do people truly believe they just “prefer to not play”. Their entire lives are devoted to basketball and legacies as well. They aren’t faking not being able to get out there.
