Is this what all the haters wanted? Giannis is defending the best players in crunch time and succeeding. What y'all gonna say now

@Akshat09128 @tylerbritton_ x.com/ringstalk/stat…

@ringstalk @tylerbritton_ Wasnt aldridge an all star iirc

I find this to be a really interesting conversation, because at Kawhi's defensive peak (2013-16), he wasn't expected to do a ton of heavy lifting on offense. LeBron, on the other hand, peaked as a defensive player from 2009-13, while being the best offensive player on the planet and carrying tons of on-ball responsibility. In a world where LeBron gets to be more of a defensive specialist, I believe he had the tools to be one of the GOAT defenders. The way he sees and understands the game, the freak range as an athlete, verticality, and ability to switch 1-5. He could be your POA stopper, your backline roamer, or your switch big. The ultimate defensive chess piece.

I officially declare as the head of bucks twitter that bucksinfour makes our pick in this years nba draft

Why can’t we do this shit for giannis bruh

@MoryMagisSprts Woah woah woah Mj ain’t better than Sidney moncrief on that end

Can’t say this enough. Michael Jordan is the greatest defensive guard in the history of the NBA.

@iagreegocavs @tylerbritton_ All their lineup data during those years suggests the heat were better when one of those 2 was on the court as opposed to both of them

@ringstalk @tylerbritton_ that second sentence is the craziest shit ive ever read

@iagreegocavs @tylerbritton_ He didn’t have to do that. Wade was a good passer. But LeBron was incapable of playing off ball next to a slasher

@ringstalk @tylerbritton_ kawhi was the leading scorer but lebron was the offense

Ted bundy had something going for him

@porquenoguey It’s probably both

@ringstalk They don't. It's probably a major contributing factor to the horrible play. He either has literally no idea how basketball works (possible it seems) or they hate him (equally plausible) and have quit listening to anything he says.

How do any of the players take doc seriously

Rare ousmane finish at the rim

@sportingpage @tylerbritton_ I didn’t say all that. But this take was definitely disingenuous

@ringstalk @tylerbritton_ spreadsheet kings will look for data to diss a player... Kawhi played in a system and played it to perfection... i guess he shoulda spammed p&r and never won, maybe than these bums would give him respect.

@tylerbritton_ Nvm Aldridge was an all star. Still tho

@tylerbritton_ Kawhi was the leading scorer on the 16 spurs. Their only all star

What was the world like pre 9/11

@francistennn That’s actually like the perfect description of his game

night to night the nba’s not as fun without ja he was like basketball jeff hardy

randomly studying numbers Hakeem Olajuwon had a 6 game stretch 1990 32.2 PPG 17.3 RPG (???) 4.3 APG 2.5 STL 7.0 BLK (7 BLOCKS PER GAME) bro what the fuck was he on for them 6 games ?????

@JesusChryce @moneybill84 @whateverbs99 Honestly iverson should’ve lost before the finals in 01 just to keep that finals record in tact

@ringstalk @moneybill84 @whateverbs99 yea but nobody has him number 1 😂 thts wat yall refuse to acknowledge lebrons great but hes not tha greatest obv cuz he lost 6 times an thts ok

LeBron in this hypothetical would be undefeated in the finals vs having a losing record. Stop glorifying losing

@JesusChryce @moneybill84 @whateverbs99 I don’t have him as the greatest. I’m not with the crowd that has finals appearances as a bad thing. Losing in the finals is a permanent stain meanwhile losing in the conference finals and before is just “oh he lost it’s fine” see how stupid that sounds

@GaddamManas Did yall get the pick that got cooper flagg from the lakers or did you guys already have that pick

Man Luka looks better than ever right now. Even just looking at few highlights you can tell he's so much better. I hate Nico so much. Every now and then when I think I moved on from it a little bit I get reminded by how horrible the trade is.
