@craneceo1 Kobe defense elite but there are role players that primary function is 3&D that are wayyyy better at defense

We tend to forget Kobe bryant’s a top 10 defensive guard in nba history

@JainalMomin This is very evil

This video broke my heart 💔 Vladimir Vitkov, a 31-year-old Belarusian man, flew from Cairo, approached an Afghan family in the baggage claim area, and suddenly grabbed and threw their two-year-old son. The child ended up in a coma with a fractured skull and spine and miraculously survived. Vitkov was arrested, with traces of cannabis in his blood. It's unclear what motivated him to commit this savage and inhumane act.

@TheDunkCentral He sure enough should have been awarded a 6th man trophy

Knicks fans are making De’Aaron Fox jerseys 😅

@areyoumarcus Both won a scoring title in this photo. Difference is Wade was also 3rd in the DPOY race while Harden was a mediocre defender

Choose the better player: Dwayne Wade or James Harden at their peak (playoffs included)

@TheMetsX @LegionHoops Yea we just watched Jokic get majorly exposed. The opposing team was jeering about “how sweet that paint is” with Jokic on the floor then scored with impunity. Meanwhile Jokic was getting clamped by Gobert. Jokic should be toward the bottom of the top 10 after that

@LegionHoops Did we just watch the playoffs? On no planet is SGA the best player in the world It’s still Jokic and it’s not close, can we stop with this nonsense Also massive Giannis disrespect, healthy Giannis is still #2, at worst #4

@FastbreakHoops5 While everyone else here likes to play crazy, Artest fighting demons. Don’t wanna see him nightly

Who would you hate to play against every night?

@ManningDrakeOG @GuGi263 Taught me something new

Ridiculous. Ears stand up based on jaw muscle strength. When they get strong enough they stand up. Want them faster? Give them large toys to chew on. Braces are not helpful unless recovering from surgery. See below the progression of ear lift on one of my Malinois over the years.

He puts braces on his puppies ears and the results are insane 😮

@Travis1 Take out Wemby(needs to grow), David, and Malone. Insert Shaq, Embiid, Jokic. Honorable mention to Wallace, Mutombo, and Gobert

Which two are you taking?

@FastbreakHoops5 LeBron , Hakeem, Giannis

Build the perfect Big 3

@Exodusone11 @howyadoiiiiiiin @TheDunkCentral @PatMcAfeeShow Both are expiring contracts…. it doesn’t get any easier to get them off the books

@b_favos @howyadoiiiiiiin @TheDunkCentral @PatMcAfeeShow Easier said than done

10–12 teams are showing interest in LeBron James’ services, per Rich Paul (Via @PatMcAfeeShow / h/t @ohnohedidnt24 )

@Tuff__Crowd 🙂‍↔️ try again

Don’t start this. I’m still taking KD 2 rings!!! Beat Bron in the finals twice and he’s arguably the greatest player ever. And that team is top 3 greatest NBA championship team ever Warriors.

@unibroward4405 The next generation that wasn’t around to see him get it out the mud will sit and talk box score like it’s law

Notice no one is talking about Jalens field goal percentage? Because when it counted down the stretch he got clutch buckets when his team needed him to & that's what matters most.

@WhozMEECH I don’t think anyone can be mad at this. LeBron is the most complete rookie at his age to enter the NBA

He has Kobe #2 all time and says he would pick LeBron over Kobe to start a franchise because LeBron was more ready coming in. Pretty understandable I’m not mad at it.

@TheDunkCentral @DALHoopsJournal If they don’t get some picks and young assets they will lose Flagg in a few years. But this still can be true, they already proven themselves incompetent

The Dallas Mavericks reportedly want to keep Kyrie Irving so he can continue mentoring Cooper Flagg, per @DALHoopsJournal

@IrisOfTheEagle @nbarealist23 Klay couldn’t create and could no longer defend. A spot shooter at near max vs Durant. They would’ve been heavy contenders 21,22, and 23. Particularly 21 when Durant took the eventual champions down to the wire by his self

@b_favos @nbarealist23 Klay was still an excellent shooter. And trading him wouldn't have gotten you much anyways What other years would they win if they kept KD?

Kevin Durant leaving the Warriors will always be one of NBA history's greatest what-Ifs. In November of 2019, Steve Kerr offered his perspective on why Durant turned his back on the dynasty: "The same reason we got Kevin in the first place was the reason we lost him. He was restless. Maybe he wanted to play a little different style. His first year with us, he was a sponge, and he would ask questions constantly... the following year, in 17-18, we lost some of that. And it started to drift. And I felt like Kevin started to drift. And my feeling was he started to get restless, like 'This is all there is? We won the title last year. We're rolling again this year. But whatever it is I'm searching for, I'm still not finding it.' We had a really good thing and then you could just feel it start to slip."

@IrisOfTheEagle @nbarealist23 Klay was ass in the 2022 championship season. The core was Curry, Dray, Wiggins. Wiggins game declined while dealing with his dying father(RIP). Curry and Dray still at their ’22 level right now

@b_favos @nbarealist23 Klay was hurt so they wouldn't have been able to trade him for much if they did that. That core is way too old and injured to compete seriously after like 2022

@DogeRomeo Is Murray a superstar? What about Kris Middleton? Or what about Wiggins? Costars are rarely top 10 players, usually top 30. Go look at contracts Gasol inked a near max contract with the Lakers and they consider it team friendly for him at the time

@b_favos Is Gasol a superstar ?

Kobe won back to back championships with the worst roster to ever win! LeBron nor Jordan would win with this team, only Kobe No one talks about this, how Kobe carried bunch of nobody’s to 3 finals!

@FastbreakHoops5 Rudy already exposed Jokic. Shaq gonna do him dirty

Shaq or Jokic. Who's winning this 1 on 1?

@Exodusone11 @howyadoiiiiiiin @TheDunkCentral @PatMcAfeeShow Cavs would have to move off Harden, GSW Jimmy. Both are essentially 2 year max deals

@b_favos @howyadoiiiiiiin @TheDunkCentral @PatMcAfeeShow @ohnohedidnt24 Neither of those could offer a max deal
