What type of "hall of fame" talent gets ignored for mike Finley :scust:

What type of "hall of fame" talent doesn't get a decent offer from his team even though he's best friends with dirk and the owner?

What type of "hall of fame talent" gets walking papers so they can blow money on Erick sampler? :scust:

You think it's a coincidence that he turned to a superstar with the same coach who has dramatically improved literally every pg he touches? The same coach that every rookie wanted to get drafted by cuz he's the goat pg coach?

Come on now :russ:

THE THING IS...
THERE WASNT SOME DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT.

HIS SHOOTING NUMBERS WERE SIMILAR
AND
:mjlol:HE LITERALLY INCREASED HIS SCORING BY 1 POINT
AND 2.7 ASSISTS HIS 1ST YEAR IN PHX.

WHY WOULDNT HIS NUMBERS GO UP BY 1PT AND 3 ASSISTS
AS THE FOCAL POINT ON OFFENSE?

JJ INJURY
AND STAT SUSPENSION
ROBBED HIM OF 2 TITLES.
:devil:

Who'd you rather have running your team?

Nash is an incredible pure point guard, better at running an offense than Kyrie for sure...not even close

Kyrie is a better player though so I would choose him

He went from 8.8 apg - good
To 11.5 - best in the league

You acting like thats not a noticeable jump lmao

He wasn't even looking for a max deal and Dallas still let him walk

He's not a hall of famer if he stays in Dallas. That's a fact

:what:ITS NOT A NOTICEABLE INCREASE
WHEN YOU GO FROM THE 3RD OPTION
TO THE FOCAL POINT
SURROUNDED BY A DOMINANT FINISHER
AND SHOOTERS.

THATS A NATURAL ROLE AND PERSONNEL JUMP.

IF HE KEPT PUTTING UP HIS DALLAS NUMBERS
AND THEY EVENTUALLY WON A TITLE
HE WOULD STILL BE HOF.

BACK 2 BACK 50, 40, 90 SEASONS POST DANTONI

:sas2:HOW DOES A NON HOF TALENT
SHOOT 50, 40, 90
WHILE BEING ASSISTED ON 6% OF HIS TWO POINT FGS

Bosh with the heat is still the better defender and spot up shooter. Only thing Gasol has is rebounding over him.

last season James Harden didn't make any all nba team despite putting up borderline historic numbers so...

Should we compare their playoff stats during each of their championships?

There is no way on this planet or any other that Kyrie Irving is better than Prime Pau Gasol during that Laker run.

Prime Gasol + LeBron would be unfair.

kyrie irvin is a better individual player than steve nash, but nash's skillset would lead to better results in mike's system.


What does "better individual player" even mean. It's a team sport. Who cares who wins 1 on 1 at the Rucker?

Nash is one of the GOAT passers, was extremely efficient and an all time great shooter. There's no way I'm taking Kyrie before him.

Bosh was playing as a 3rd option why Gasol was a second option. Less touches. After Gasol, there is no other all star on that team. Bosh had Wade ahead of him on shot attempts
