Pistol Pete

@BenAxelrod Oof read Westbrook at 99.9% 💀

@BenAxelrod Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Russell Westbrook (James Harden should also be a 100% lock given that mvp is almost a guaranteed lock)

Was looking up something on Basketball Reference and there are four active NBA players with 1.0000 Hall of Fame probability scores. Who are they?

@Vullety In a world of voter fatigue and his team's being 12 games back of the team of the presumptive winner.

In what world does this not win you the MVP?

@Hoopss @BallTalkO Obviously Duncan. Check back in 10 years.

Who is the Spurs' best #1 pick? 🤔 Three generational talents. Three legends. But only one can be the true GOAT #1 pick for this franchise.

@1stnFREEthrow @PointGotNext Probably should have been him or Kobe. I think the Nash mvp happened bc the Suns were just different. The 7 seconds or less offense had never been done before. It felt like Nash was preternatural. Perhaps choosing between Bron and Kobe felt like a harder decision 🤷‍♂️

@PeteTakes @PointGotNext All that is true.. and yet Bron STILL deserved to win MVP

The fact that Steve Nash was able to enter this MVP race and win is something we’ll never see again

@tev_bands Bro you didn't even mention the steals and blocks

45 ppg and they talking bout some damn Pippen Lmaoo yeah OKAY.

@NugsGetBuckets *offensive (but even then you gotta talk about Wilt Chamberlain)

Jokic is genuinely the best Center ever

@BarryOnHere Now do defense

LeBron James has 13,378 more points, 6,881 more rebounds & 7,427 more assists than Michael Jordan in 660 more games. "Longevity" you say. Not impressive. To match LeBron's current career totals, MJ would have to come out of retirement (again) and average the following over 660 games: 20.3 PPG - 10.4 RPG - 11.3 APG - 65.8% TS MJ would have to produce like a more efficient version of Magic Johnson for over 8 STRAIGHT SEASONS, on top of what he already did, to match LeBron's career. LeBron will never be as loved as Jordan, but he is the superior player.

@Vullety Easy Money

HOT TAKE: Dirk’s one ring is better than KD’s two rings.

@SportsWithJay0 John Stockton For reference: All time leader in assists (by an insane margin > 3,000) and steals (by an also insane margin > 500) 11x All-NBA 5x All-Defense Very efficient shooter before efficiency was a thing Def a champ in any non-Jordan/Pippen era

Who's the greatest player to never win a championship?

@marclamonthill They're all 85s with different, perfectly complementary skills. That's what makes this team so special.

This is a tough one

@Vullety From Miami and I hate the Celtics as a matter of hometown principle, but I still gotta say that one is enough

No team has ever milked 1 title like the 08 Boston Celtics 🤣

@BeardDaDon KD was out for game 6 and they still lost

This is the team that they played btw

@DuragRiv Correction: western conference finals*

@DuragRiv The Nash-Stoudamire PnR was the best offensive play in basketball for half a decade. Averaged 37 in the western conference semifinals. Nobody wanted to jump with him for more than a decade. He deserves it.

If Bosh is in, then Amar’e is in.

@SportsWithJay0 @RankOnListd First, the Heat won in 2013. It was a pretty amazing come from behind victory against a superior Spurs team, but no one cares cuz everyone hated them.

We don’t have these type convos much, but it is true that some rings hold more weight than others. These are my most respected championships! Is there anything you’d change?

@HPbasketball Idk what you call a shooting guard, but Harden is not an off guard. His ineffectiveness off ball is why any analysis of how great he is should be premised on his being a point guard.

I'm writing on Harden's place on the all-time shooting guards list so of course I was looking at Wade vs. Kobe, I don't need your thoughts on it, everyone's got their own opinion and tend to think any other opinion is dumb. I DO however think this is an interesting question: which player's MVP-level season was better? Here's Wade 2009 where he only lost because LeBron was a WORLDBREAKER vs. Kobe's 2008. For the record, I have surprisingly decided Bryant has to be second on the all-time list because of total career accomplishiments despite how partial I am to Wade.

@ClappedCollins Steph Curry

How on Earth did the Golden State Warriors win the championship in 2022 dude Klay was washed, Draymond ass, that roster was mid, the Celtics don’t get enough slander for losing to that crap

@JuggernautBron Scottie was a monster. One of the 🐐 defenders Just listen to MJ: "I didn't win without Scottie Pippen." "I would never be able to find another support system or partner in basketball like Scottie Pippen." "Whenever they speak Michael Jordan, they should speak Scottie Pippen"

Pippen nay sayers are so funny. This came with the best defense in the league. What #2 on any other team in the 90s looked even close to this good. I’m not gonna say “I’ll wait” bc it’d be until the end of time.
