@AidanLaPorta69 @HernanCortes50 Wade was all nba at age 31 n. He did drop off in the playoffs though. You’re confused. Wade had less space to drive in his era than he would have today.
This is harden and Wade both at age 31
English
Percentage doesn’t mean ANYTHING. Harden takes 9 threes per game during the playoffs and they’re all off the dribble and contested. While Wade BARELY shoots any and they’re usually with hella space.
Plus, u grabbed Wade’s best two playoff on off numbers and compared it to 37 year old Harden. 😂😂🤐
Wade played in an era where the entire league sucked at 3’s so ofc it didn’t impact him much. But it’s why he was washed at 31 and didn’t have a long career like current stars lol.
English
Seeing James Harden made the conference finals during the same week Daryl Morey got fired is genuinely PERFECTION.
He also said no team in the east added an “impact player” at the deadline.
I’m rooting for Harden and the Cavs to make the finals!!!
Kalshi Sports@KalshiSports
NEW: The Knicks have a 70% chance to defeat the Cavs in the Eastern Conference Finals, via Kalshi. Too high, too low, or accurate?
English
@AidanLaPorta69 @canee_gang @InebriatedToad @JimmysBurner6 @WichoCuevas27 @HenryTheBlasian Wade was a sophomore the year Hughes was all defensive LOL 💀. The reason he didn’t make as many all nba first teams is because he was competing with peak Kobe , peak Nash and Chris Paul. Also, some of selections over him were just bad lol.
English
@canee_gang @InebriatedToad @JimmysBurner6 @WichoCuevas27 @HenryTheBlasian 3 all nba defensive SECOND teams lol. You act like this dude was a god on defense. Larry Hughes made 1st team over him one year 🤣
There’s a bigger gap in ALL nba 1st team selections than there is in defensive team selections 🎤⬇️🤐
English
@ScottKacsmar My only knock on the 2016 Finals win from a team concept is the Bogut injury/ Draymond. The fact that two of your most valuable front court players were not playing in the 2nd half of a game 5 where they were up 3-1 is kinda of an asterisks.
English
Oh bullshit. That was a 73-win team that already had a title with the same coach and core. And you have the nerve to discredit what James did.
Again, name someone recently who turned a non-champ into a champ this way.
Drew@DrewThe11th
The Warriros made it work. Again, these people are ALWAYS WRONG AF.
English
@ScottKacsmar @xaviercross1971 Shooting below 50% 2pt as big man is generally bad but sub 40% 2pt? LMFAO.
English
Also, it's probably no coincidence that Jordan's rise to 6-0 came at a time where the NBA had one of the weakest runs ever of #1 draft picks in 88-95. Only Shaq was truly elite.
Webber didn't improve until he went to SAC after Chicago ended.
Again, perfect storm of timing.
Scott Kacsmar@ScottKacsmar
Not the point. 80s was billed as Magic vs. Bird but don't fall for that. Those LAL/BOS teams are some of the best rosters in history. Once those teams declined, NBA grew into a superstar era. Also an expansion era + closer 3P line in 94-97. Pace and scoring dropped. But MJ was the #1 star, and he just happened to fall into the best HC and one of the best #2s ever. In a league where the other best players were largely PF/C bigs (Shaq, Barkley, Hakeem, Robinson, Ewing, Malone), Jordan and the Bulls offered the toughest challenge.
English
@ScottKacsmar @xaviercross1971 I do think Webber was overrated. He was 6’10 with a lower shooting % than 6’0 Iverson taking 17+fg per game. That’s downright embarrassing
English
@ScottKacsmar Btw, I’m not one of these mindless riders who think that take away from LeBron’s greatness. AD was just that good that year. Really both him and LeBron. Ad was shooting 49.6% from mid range and 38% from 3pt that year. Lebron was shooting 64% 2pt and 37% 3pt on 6 attempts
English
@Sackboy43 Probably because LeBron led the league in assists that year and we know who the real leader of that team was.
English
True story: In 1993-94 without MJ, Pippen received as many first place MVP votes (7) that season as Dwayne Wade had his entire career.
Davis never got one.
And Bosh?
GIF
Joe_M@JoMichaelMinn7
@ScottKacsmar Now do Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Anthony Davis. STFU
English
@ScottKacsmar I’m fine with LeBron being the leader. I’m fine with a LeBron getting finals mvp… but let’s not pretend like there wasn’t an ARGUMENT that AD was the Laker’s most valuable player that year.
English
@ScottKacsmar Fun fact: A 33 year old Wade got to the 2nd round game 7 of the ECF semis with 0 all stars( no Lebron or Bosh) . This is the same distance Pippen went in 1994 with Grant and Armstrong both making all star teams.
English
@ScottKacsmar @xaviercross1971 Weird criteria but Webber’s first all
Star team was 1997. This is what their playoff matchup looked like
English
@xaviercross1971 You're missing the point. It's about the title runs that conveniently came during one of the weakest periods in NBA history.
English
@ScottKacsmar Far from stacked but it doesn’t need to be stacked when you have good defensive supporting role players and a low level all star offensively in Mo Williams. They were in the east not the west so your comp was a Magic team without thier all star point guard Jameer Nelson.
English
You called this a stacked team.
You should be embarrassed.
Phil@Philip_9419x
@ScottKacsmar Not surprising to see you ducking me when I exposed your takes on lebron
English
@sammymac1071 @UbiquitousCLV @LBJgoat_talk @HeatCulture13 It was arguable. The game score was neck and neck
English
@Sackboy43 @UbiquitousCLV @LBJgoat_talk @HeatCulture13 So terry didn’t outplay him…thanks for confirming 👍🏽

Tim Hardaway Is taking prime Dwyane Wade over Prime LeBron James 👀
“LeBron has longevity. I’m taking Prime Flash over Prime LeBron… I know basketball. I’m a hall of famer… Look at the facts. Just look at it. Calm down”

@skinnyflaccoo @PenserETH @BanisMajor Ironically Kobe was more valuable to the lakers than Nash was to the suns
English
@Sackboy43 @PenserETH @BanisMajor “Higher seed suns team” He simply lost to the better player and MVP.
English
Kobe fans want you to believe he was way better than everybody from 03-07 😂
And they especially hate Steve ‘Stole My MVP’ Nash
Pitless@pitlessball
Steve Nash in Games 4-6 of the 2005 WCSF (5/15-5/20) 40.3 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 9.7 APG, 1.3 SPG, 60/58/100 Shooting, 71.1% TS (+19.2 rTS%)
English
@sammymac1071 @NanobeatzMike Bulls went 26-12 without Pippen in 1997-98 LOL. +6.1 net rating and number defense during that stretch
English
@NanobeatzMike He QUIT the sport for the second time when Chicago was losing Scottie and Phil. That should tell you EVERYTHING about his mentality lmao he was afraid….
English
Goal post moving ass niggas…
Y’all said Bron couldn’t win a championship w/o Wade & Bosh!
He went back to Cleveland & did it.
Y’all swore he wasn’t making the finals again without Kyrie & w/that dog shit Cavs team…He did it!
Y’all swore he couldn’t win in the West..He did it his 2nd year!
Yall MFs should be tired of him
making u look stupid year after year where u gotta switch up your narratives..
We said Jordan couldn’t win without Phil & Pippen & i’d be got damned, we were right 🤣🤣😭
English
Lmao
Love people who downplay these Lakers teams, relative to the league they were great. Pau was also voted the best PF in the league.
Who’s Better Than Kobe?@MarkIII824
He DIDN’T need to. This was enough for him…

In 2001, Allen Iverson carried the 76ers to the NBA Finals and won MVP — without another All-Star teammate.
AuxGod@AuxGod_
25 years ago today, Allen Iverson won MVP 🏆 🏀 31.1 PPG (1st in NBA) 🏀 2.51 SPG (1st in NBA) 🏀 42.0 MPG (1st in NBA) 🏀 56 wins (1st in East) 🏀 NBA Finals Appearance 🏀 Only team to give Lakers a playoff loss “i wasn’t a point guard, i was a killer.” 💯
English
@sammymac1071 @BanisMajor Except expansions teams like the Magic and Heat ended up winning 60+ games drafting players like Shaq and Penny so they couldn’t have been that bad lol
English
@BanisMajor 6 expansion teams, hs 3 point line, no hand checking, can’t play zone defense, two bigs in almost every lineup that COULDNT shoot…best era ever….
GIF
English
Imagine if tomorrow morning— the NBA announced they were moving the 3 point line closer by about 2 feet
That’d be crazy, right?
I can picture it now…
“They’re making it easier to score!”
Well guess what?!
That happened from 1994-1997 & folks call it the “best era EVER” lmao
English
English
@UbiquitousCLV @LBJgoat_talk @HeatCulture13 Just stop talking Jesus, one of the worst tales I’ve ever seen lmao
English
@BanisMajor @Sakowsk1Michael That’s not even how the old illegal defense worked lol . The arms lengths thing is about the modern defensive 3 second when you’re in the paint.
English
@Sakowsk1Michael What if they announced a rule where you had to be within arms-length of your man at all times, unless you were sending a hard double?
English
