@SeamusMcRizzle @BarryOnHere Patrick Mahomes played in the best qb era the sport has ever seen. athletes get better faster stronger more talented over time

@BarryOnHere Conveniently disregarding how bill Russell played in an old era of questionable competition and Brady played in the best qb era the sport has ever seen

RANT: If you think Tom Brady is the GOAT then you MUST have Bill Russell as the GOAT. Full stop. How the FUCK is a guy who won 11 rings in 13 years not the GOAT but a guy who won 7 rings in 23 years is? Oh, wait, Russell's rings don't matter right? b/c his era was dogshit right? Because his STATS aren't sexy enough right? Oh so NOW stats & level of competition matter more than ring count? So, how is Brady better than guys like Unitas, Montana, Elway, Steve Young or Dan Marino if rings don't matter & Brady played in a way more QB friendly era? How is MJ better than LeBron for winning 2 more rings against way worse teams while LeBron equals him in terms of peak & destroys him in longevity? Where is the CONSISTENCY? Speaking of MJ, MJ & Kobe nuthuggers constantly talk about how players opinions matter the most when ranking other players. Yet, you never hear any of them talk about how Bill Russell won 5 MVP's when PLAYERS voted for it. NOBODY AFTER 1981 won an MVP the players voted on, so NONE of MJ & Kobe's MVPs matter by YOUR logic. TL:DR - You can't pick & choose when rings & stats matter or don't matter in GOAT debates. Make up your minds goddamnit!!!!

@AnndrewBaker @what_Njuguna_do @QuixoticLenz @PolymarketHoops @PolymarketSport philly could have pretended to not be interested in tatum

@iwillwinalways @what_Njuguna_do @QuixoticLenz @PolymarketHoops @PolymarketSport Boston had the first pick because of a swap with the Nets, but they traded down to third. If they believed Philly was interested in taking Tatum, they wouldn’t have traded down

Give the Joel Embiid Sixers era a grade. 2016: Missed season (injury) 2017: Missed season (injury) 2018: Eliminated in 2nd Round 2019: Eliminated in 2nd Round
2020: Swept in 1st Round
2021: Eliminated in 2nd Round
2022: Eliminated in 2nd Round
2023: Eliminated in 2nd Round
2024: Eliminated in 1st Round
2025: Missed Playoffs
2026: Swept in 2nd Round Zero Conference Finals appearances.

@what_Njuguna_do @QuixoticLenz @PolymarketHoops @PolymarketSport tatum was the third pick, sixers had the first pick

@QuixoticLenz @PolymarketHoops @PolymarketSport Tatum wasn't available to Philly, but yeah, this is hilariously bad

@King_BP_TX @SamQuinnCBS @jaycaspiankang @JoshEberley yao ming was healthy for 3/3 of his first 3 years, this means nothing

@SamQuinnCBS @jaycaspiankang @JoshEberley 2 of 3 years being healthy with one being a medical not injury issue. Sound dumb

I think I’d take Flagg and Dybantsa over Wemby, but the fact that I have to think about it is pretty telling. It’s a floor/ceiling thing. Wemby might wind up becoming the GOAT. I’d take the injury risk with him over any one star, but at two, the floor is too high to pass up.

@Bennyhumma4242 @courageth3cow @theblockspot fine, what about when the knicks blew out the spurs by 25 in march in the middle of their 19-1 winning streak

@courageth3cow @theblockspot No offense, but a game in November is hardly relevant to today. Knicks got no shot.

Can Win NBA Finals: 1. Thunder 2. Spurs Would Surprise Me: 3. Knicks 4. Cavs 5. Pistons Would Shock Me: 6. Sixers Absolutely No Chance: 7. Lakers 8. Wolves

@roycetharealist @OnionBoySMDFTB @BanisMajor jordan didnt change the landscape of the nba either, the only person he inspired was demar derozan

@OnionBoySMDFTB @BanisMajor Did he lead his team? Is he the most important player in his team? Did he won any scoring titles? Did he change the landscape of the nba? I don't think so

The GOAT debate was decided before you were born. You missed it. This is the nail in the coffin. 11 NBA Finals Wins. 1 loss. The rest is history.

@roycetharealist @BanisMajor bill russell was 10-0 in game 7s jordan was 2-1

@BanisMajor Even bill Russell lost one in the finals against MJ never lost in the finals in that logic the one that never lost in the finals should be the goat

@TBagleySports i require context

Can’t believe I haven’t seen a sportswriter point out the issue with Game 3.

@KINGBRONK @SummerAweNBA lebron was the underdog in 7 of those finals

@SummerAweNBA The difference is LeBron had a loaded supporting cast in many of those finals. Jokić has never had a legit number two guy in his career.

This is why the 'he's 4-6 in the finals' argument is so stupid when it comes to LeBron James. Jokic lost as a massive favourite in the FIRST ROUND, and because it was so early in the playoffs, he doesn't get a 'finals loss'. But this is 10x worse...

@ToneGza @Novig lebron has played 1919 games in 23 seasons, 1919/23 = 83.4 mj played 1251 games in 15 seasons, 1251/15 = 83.4

@Novig A) this post is false those numbers are wrong B) MJ had 2 season ending injuries in his career missing a total of 64 games in one of those season C) LeBron has missed over 200 games for minor tweaks and load management included they are not the same

Exact same number of games. Completely different narratives.

@RocketsFan512 @carsonkrow they played the 3 seed jazz and 2 seed suns in the first two rounds, your bracket seeding is wrong (ai generated?)

What was the NBA team in the lowest seed ever to win the NBA championship?

@milehigh_malone @collinm1227 @ApplesBBL howd that technicality help you vs the timberwolves?

@collinm1227 @iwillwinalways @ApplesBBL My bad I was over analyzing your use of technicality

@jmavrickz @squish41 ai not top 25 13 is a crime

@squish41 Who do you take off and is Dirk more deserving the hakeem? I would actully think Dirk over KG but its close. Im too toung to really comment on Moses Malone.

Omitting Dirk Nowitzki from this list is a felony.

@DaeKnowSumn @flygenyus @LakeShowLars bro really said jr smith was better than the reigning dpoy. never discuss basketball again

@flygenyus @LakeShowLars You tell me

Kevin Durant and Steph Curry are two of the best players ever, neither of them have been better than LeBron James for a second of their lives.

@royal84983 ive also never lost as a higher seed. when am i getting my hof entry?

If a player had 2 championships 2 finals MVPs 1 MVP DPOY ROY 9 scoring titles 3 steals titles 4 All def 1st teams, never loss as a higher seed this player would be a Hall of Famer, this is what SEPARATES Michael Jordan from LeBron James. A damn career. What debate?

@tatumdiffrnt @ThePantryGang @londonstheory lu dort is not good at shooting 3s lmao dude is shooting like 34% this year

@ThePantryGang @londonstheory Serious answers OG Anunoby Derrick White Lu Dort Jaden McDaniels Keon Ellis All shoot well and are excellent defenders

the 3&D wings who are actually good at both parts of 3&D are incredibly valuable, problem is there’s only like 5 of those guys in the league

@AndrewDBailey ben simmons

Who is NBA history’s ultimate “if he ever figures out how to shoot” guy?

@milehigh_malone @ApplesBBL it says more than 50, learn to read.

@iwillwinalways @ApplesBBL Nuggets beat the clippers in 7 games last year….. try again

@milehigh_malone @ApplesBBL here you go

@iwillwinalways @ApplesBBL Yes we have go Google you clown.
