We know because you are the worst in that forum and a refugee wack poster who has to run to the alternative forum about sports.
:mindblown:

The majority of my posts have been on this side of the board since 2012 - I've hardly ever posted about shyt in The Booth. What the hell is wrong with you?
You, think bill Russell was not even a skill player and I had to post footage to clown you and everybody grwfted how pisspoor of a poster you were then.
Just stop nikka....you a wack refugee forum poster and had to be in the sports forum and you suck over here, too.

If I did not regulat this shyt for real,...and have you bytch nikkaz scared.
Lennox Lewis would be better than Ali by the clown on here .
Then, this fool would have tried to say bill Russell was not one of the highest level all around skill post players of all time too.
Where small ball and undersized defenders and teams is all based around bil russell's celt's
.

:merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant::merchant:

i) I have NEVER had a conversation with you in regards to Bill Russell
ii) I have NEVER once typed or uttered words that even resemble that he wasn't a "skill player"

Doing a quick search - you're getting me confused with @NYC Rebel -
Is this about rebound for the win?

If so,....
That is because I tabled that nikka so bad in a discussion about his offkey assessment of bill Russell.
He never recovered from post tabling shock.

Plus, he was always offbrand and offbase knowledge wise from the start to begin with.

After a tabling, and those negative factors present.
Really presents a bad mix that makes recovery, difficult to overcome.




Art Barr
Shows how much romnesia you have acquired from me tsbking you over the years as well.
As you forgot the rant and video of bill Russell.
I used to table that fool.
I still wonder why you are called NYC rebel.
As you have never and will never lead a successful rebellion in ya life.
Only rebellion you are about is.
Is actually rebelling against having an intellect.
You goofy,... Lame.

I don't remember ever disagreeing with you on any issue in the last 30 years... but this is so wrong. Bird's lack of defensive ability was a running joke.

This is false. Bird was a very good defensive player. Now his on-ball defense lacked mainly due to his lack of lateral quickness, but his help defense was great. He had excellent defensive instincts(See the famous Isiah Thomas steal for reference), played passing lanes very well - which explains the high steals per game averages - and he was great a sneaking either behind or in front of players to block their shot attempts as they drove on the baseline.

Bird was a very good defender. He's actually underrated defensively, in my opinion.

I don't know, Bird made both Pippen and Dominque look foolish at times. Peep this video at 2:58, Bird drops Nique with a step-back jumper, gives him the look and shoots over him. Very cold-blooded. Plus in that vid you can see how much Bird knew about spacing and had a solid understanding of where defenders may be coming from which is why he had so many easy looks for shots. Plus a lot of his fade aways were over taller more athletic players, don't have any doubt that he'd be able to shoot over LeBron either.



Can you peep the hilarity if Bird played today though?



nikkaz sleep in arguably the goat IQ player and he had IQ over players and the other variables.
So, while you bothered by the refs.
He is measuring you off and stabbing you in the heart and crushing your confidence.
BIRD = GREATEST VILLAIN TO BLACK ATHLETICS AND IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION

ART BARR

When bird was on, he made you cry and you knew racism existed and the bad guy won.
You had to go watch a Sabin era adventure cartoon to see the good guy win, ON VHS YOU TAPED.
While the bad guy won EVERY TIME EVERY SATURDAY AFTER YOUR CARTOONS WENT OFF.

you guys have no idea how bleak it was for you as even a blakc man when bird was around.
Like you knew you was getting sonned by the white man on all levels.
That is how good bird was.

As a matter of fact, I will be honest.
That baseline j mike perfected to defeat the Jordan rules was bird's fade away and mike lifted it because bird was sinning nikka with it every Saturday in CBS like systematic destruction.
Bird created owning nikkaz on ether levels and as a kid.
You wished and dreamed and hoped.
Like when magic hit the skyhook.
Black America got reliberated.
That is how good bird was.



Art Barr

nikkaz talking about 72-10, and don't know the Lakers/sixers had to go 69-13.
just to even have a chance on a prayer of home court advantage to beat the Celts.
That is why 72-10 is so important of a mark.
You, nikkaz not even cognitive or knowing why the record meant so much.

It was because if you did not get 69, or 70 wins to break the record.
You did not have a chance going into the GAWDEN TO BEAT THE CELT'S.


nikkaz ain't even see the no ac games.
So, I know they don't know about this topic at all.

Yes you did say that bullshyt about bill Russell.
Which is how it got established that I know bball more than you.
So, I entertained your deflection just to show you I know thus shyt more than you.
Plus the pr disclosure of how and why this forum knows my mkms was the pearl's driver.

You can try to lie, but you are the goofie who had to deflect about that because you made such an idiotic post about bill russel..of which I posted video fact to disprove you, nikka.



Art Barr

That was you, doggie....

Stop the whole, 2012 bullshyt.
You been a shyt poster before that and well known a woat poster back on :hamster:

Now, stop deflecting about me and concede cause real talk.
You never saw bird just like you never even watched footage of Russell.
All this bullshyt is reflection and your inability to create a false narrative about me that sticks.
nikkaz know you one of the WOAT, nikka.

you still ain't supplied not one fukk'n iota of content in thus thread.
Now, stfu cause imma watch this vandal savage nikka merk some more kids.

It is better shyt to do after I table nikkaz like you, ... Now, stfu.

these guys were not better athletes and are fukk'n tiny as hell compared to back in the day.
these new nikkaz are not that big, like that.
bird played with slave hand gene nikkaz before crack erroded the black gene pool.
who were better, smarter bigger faster and had a higher iq, motor and actual basketball skill and an iq.
these nikkaz don't even play pickup like that and it is all aau play.

this new gen of bball players, are nowhere near the last gen of players, period.

Nique was a better skillplayer and able to execute better than bron.
Plus bron, wilts in big moments and will not impose his will and become a jump shooter.
When he is the player who physically can get to the basket at will and does not.
Nique was dunking on you, and bringing thunder any and at all times.
Bron sulks like a baby and will quit.
Even grant hill was a better skill player before injury as well.
Plus ramped higher than bron.
While bron will defer and won't commit to the high quality high IQ brand of basketball to be a winner.
Nor, will he develop a real post game and actually use it to open up other components of his perimeter game.
On top of shirking leadership by not playing his natural.
Nique never shirked on playing and never gave up on the hawks.



Art Barr



I AGREE 100...LEBRON QUITTIN ON THE CAVS 2 PLAY WIT BOSH N WADE WOULD BE LIKE NIQUE QUITTIN ON ATLANTA TO PLAY WIT BARKLEY AND DREXLER....AND IN THAT CASE, THEY WOULDA WENT 4/4, NOT 2/4....BUT WHAT IM SAYIN IS THAT NIQUE AND BRON IN THE SAME ECHELON, AS OPPOSED TO THE TOP TIER OF BIRD, MAGIC, MJ, KAREEM, KOBE - WHERE EVERY1 ALWAYS TRYNA PLACE HIM.

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
Look at his career. He played in Miami for 4 years only. When its all said and done and hes had a 19 or so year career. Yall gone be talking about them 4 years still? Thats a very small fraction of his career, and he had a 50% FINALS WIN rate with them. Which should be 75% because she should have won in 11'. And last year we know what happened. But :cook:
We doing that math now?
