JUST IN: U.S. reportedly moves to indict Raúl Castro, the 94-year-old former president of Cuba.

@kingtisemedia Felt this way in real time, wasn’t a strong era of interior play and didn’t like the way most teams were constructed. Hated the way teams played in 17 and 18, no one had the personal to play like the Warriors but did it anyway (on offense)
Better, more balanced rosters today

It remains crazy to me that the NBA fails to acknowledge ABA championships.

@JozzyKings2 @DrewPavlou Deng Xiaoping had way more to do with China’s rise than Mao, one of Deng’s inspirations was LKY’s Singapore.

@561jusvnn @jeff_on_sports I’m talking about consensus ranking, I’m not pushing back if someone has him top 15 I know what I saw before the injuries piled up

@JesseGladsaget It’s been obvious to me since they called that 23 Nuggets team legendary and better than any team MJ saw in the 90s (they were mid as fuck) but they’ve been doing this for over a decade. The worse the beatdown the more unstoppable they frame that team
English
The Klutch media loves talking about how great and “insurmountable” LeBron’s competition was.
At a certain point you have to ask yourself why none of the superlatives that are commonly ascribed to his opponents are ever used to describe HIS teams. That’s 1000000% intentional
English
@JackDorsey36437 @Davidchorts @jroberts1103 @KenHeLive Biggest stage was the real finals vs Spurs or 02 Kings and 00 Blazers, the only truly great team they faced in the finals was the 04 Pistons the rest were 2nd round caliber at best in the West

Kobe Stan’s STILL forcing those 3 Robin rings in goat convos?!
Rose TheArtist@rosethaaartist
When LeBron didn't match those MJ and Kobe ring counts despite having more time and more "superteams," the conversation shifted toward things like "all time scoring," "total rebounds," and "longevity" to keep him in the mix.
English
@olympicbean He was better than Ellis (low calorie 25 ppg and below average defense) but replace him with Brandon Roy (top 10 that year imo) and that’s still 15 guys better
English
There’s not a soul on earth who believed Pau Gasol was better than these players in 2009 or 2010 (not in order btw)
1. Kobe
2. Bron
3. Wade
4. Dwight
5. Duncan
6. Stoudemire
7. Nowitzki
8. Chris Paul
9. Melo
10. Durant
11. Pierce
12. Garnett

14. Nash
15. Monta Ellis

Show me the ring MJ, Kobe, magic, bird, or any top 10 worthy player won without a top 15 player in the league on his team Only a standard for LeBron Btw, you can argue Kyrie wasn't top 15 as much as any other

@whateverbs99 To add to this Wade was generally elite in the finals and playoffs so when his production did fall off it was easier to attribute it to age/injury
Harden has always been like this, it’s simply who he is
English
You guys give D-Wade hell for averaging 15 in the finals with minimal to no cartalige in his knees in 2014.
We ain’t letting you retards off the hook, not one bit
lvd@one4ghost
People are going to use 36 year old Harden playing like dog shit against a T2 defense itl to get off nasty agendas about his prime too lmao
English
@ScottKacsmar BPM and Game Score aren’t good, the BPM calculation literally boosts Jokic’s defensive box score because of his assists. I like football advanced metrics but there’s way less context/nuance applied to advanced bball metrics
Carried is still too strong of a word for a superstar
English
And yet LeBron and Shaq appear 5x in playoff Game Score in a championship run before you see Kobe once.
6x (all 4 LeBron) before a 3-peat Kobe ring appears.
Change it to Box Plus-Minus and young Kobe gets dwarfed even worse.
Nathan Osborne@nathanosborne85
@ScottKacsmar Kobe was never carried. In the play-offs for his first 3 rings with Shaq, he averaged 21.1, 29.4 and 26.6 ppg.
English
I’m just pissed MJ got to play teams that put up 54 points in the finals while our guys have to deal with teams like this

There are a remarkable number of people who proceed from the premise “I could never do anything of a certain value” to the conclusion “no one could do something of that value.”
Those people are narcissists.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: You can't earn a billion dollars. Ilana Glazer: That's right. AOC: You just can't earn that. Glazer: That's exactly correct. AOC: You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things. You can abuse labor laws. Glazer: Yup. AOC: You can pay people less than what they're worth. Glazer: Yup. AOC: But you can't earn that, right? Glazer: That's right. AOC: And so you have to create a myth that -- since you didn't earn that, you have to create a myth of earning it.
English
@DimeDropperPod I remember Barkley talking about it, huge difference between scoring 25 and 30. He was an uber efficient 25-28 ppg guy but never hit 30 so he knows better than anyone how much more difficult it gets, it’s a different type of skillset
English
“He only scored that much cause he shot so much”
Not only is it not easy to score that much especially then, if people don’t understand that getting shots OFF especially when everyone knows you’re THE GUY is easy, you don’t understand the game very well.

@chaery_fox @ScottKacsmar Center position fell off with Shaq and Yao declining and fell off harder with Dwight’s decline, I still consider late 00s / early 10s strong for bigs because the PF position was still elite. I think most PFs back then would be centers now
English
@CyberTV24 @ScottKacsmar Must be said that the decline of bigs started even earlier. From the moment Shaq became washed Dwight Howard was basically the only star center in the league. Joakim Noah and DeAndre Jordan got 1st team all nba.
English
How much was that just capitalizing on the late 2010s being one of the weakest eras for big men?
Notice the Warriors didn't do that well post-2018 once players like Giannis, Jokic, Embiid, Wemby, etc. shaped into MVP form.
Nate Jones@JonesOnTheNBA
Dray is an easy target b/c he talks trash, but anyone that knows hoop knows how much he impacted winning. The ability to play small was b/c of HIS defensive ability and versatility. The ability to capitalize on Steph’s gravity and Kerr’s system was also b/c of his playmaking.
