Misconceptions Concerning Sports That Irk You The Most

[triplehate]

Mid range jumpers are ineffecient as fukk, yet people are always telling players to add it to their games.

If you are going to step out there, shoot the damn 3

This thread is filled with dumb shyt

@Homeboy Runny-Ray The 08' suns were another great Offensive team

Again Nash's situation is similar to James harden, when he finally got his own team he showed you just how great he was. And it's true dantoni has flopped everywhere. He flopped in NY and he's flopping with the Lakers with a top 5 player in Kobe. He was never able recreate the same success without Nash, and Nash was able to get to the WCF in 2010 without Mike coaching

His system was basically give the ball to Nash and let him do every thing.

again, your facts are f*cked.

the media was on a mission to turn iverson into jamal crawford when he was on the pistons homie. and he was coming off of that '08 season. and no, he didnt lose no dam step in detroit. dude was still having just as many games as he did in the '08 season, despite the fact that he was on a team that played the exact opposite brand of basketball and didnt get a chance to adapt in training camp. do you watch the games or just pull up stats years later?

so the '09 nuggets were a much better team than the '08 nuggets because they managed to win a few more games against lesser competition? okay buddy.



the fact that you listed all those suns teams seperately, yet conveniently left the '08 suns team out of the equation kills your own argument.

its also funny how you didnt bother to mention any of the teams nash played on during the previous decade that he was in the league. you dont just become an mvp overnight as you approach your mid-30s. the proof is in the pudding.

and i dont like dantoni, but this is just wrong. we gonna act like he didnt dupe casual fans into thinking that average joe @$$ knicks team before the melo trade was a threat? we gonna act like people on this very board werent fooled into thinking that raymond felton an elite point guard?

dantoni didnt need nash. dantoni does great work when a team is structured a certain way, with a quality point guard to boot. thats why he eventually flopped in new york and bombed in LA, even with steve nash, who hasnt been much of a factor himself either, as expected.

put dantoni on the sidelines for a team like say, the bucks and theyre hosting a playoff series with jennings & ellis being hailed as an all-time great backcourt.



his dunks are beyond basic.

dude even said it himself that hes not a competition dunker. what more needs to be said?

youre hyping someone that doesnt want to be hyped.



yea, i hate this.

Nah they were a better team because they went farther in the playoffs. And Ai had three 30 point game with the Pistons and I don't remember him having many classic games when he was with them. If you looked at the playoffs the year before you would see that AI wasn't the same anymore. And again this aint a knock on Chuck but to say he was the same player in Detroit and Memphis that he was even in his first year with the Nuggets is preposterous. You talking about that Nuggets team not being better cause they only had a few more wins. But the chemistry was there with them and they clicked a lot better with Chauncey then they did with AI.

D'Antoni's system is basically just pick up the pace, spread you out, and run a lot of pick-and-roll. He has things up his sleeve but most of the time it's not comprised of complicated plays.

 

[dem bath salts]

That they only way to be great is to have the personality of MJ and Kobe

Depends on what you consider mid-range. Anything from 10-15 feet SHOULD be equivalent to a layup to any non-big in the NBA. If you're talking 15-20 feet, then those are generally bad shots.

 

[Reggie]

That you have to have at least six rings in the NBA to be the best ever when Bill Russell got 11.

1. Team chemistry matters. I HATE when columnists act like players need to like each other to win or perform well. That's high school shyt. They could hate each other's guts and still manage to win together. #88 didn't seem to like Peyton or Reggie or anyone on the Colts that much, but him and Peyton balled out.

2. That there is an unquestioned GOAT player in any team sport. The notion itself is ridiculous. For every MJ argument there's a KAJ or Russell counter-argument. For every Rice argument there's a Montana or Jim counter-argument. For every Gretzky argument there's a Howe or Mario counter. To me, saying there's an unquestioned GOAT of a sport is a sign of ignorance.

3. That NFL commissioner runs his sport. Goodell gets paid to be the punching bag for NFL owners. Tagliabue ran the NFL. Goodell is making decisions at the behest of 30 billionaires. It would be nice if he ran the sport according to the will of the fans, but he wouldn't have gotten the job if that was the platform he was going for. He is the one held responsible for the shyt that will happen to the sport. I wish he had more balls to fight back against rich people "protecting" their investments.

How are midrange jumpers inefficent. I hate that Houston doesnt take it. I think only 10 % of our shot were midrange, and 95% of those were jumpshot by Patrick Patterson.

To me range shouldn't factor into effectiveness. The best shot is the most convenient for that player, which is what he;s skilled as.

I love Gerald Henderson's game, but most dont appreicate because the art of the midrange jumper is underpreciated. When did this happen. Did it happen when the league incorporate zone defense?

 

[The ADD]

The idea that professional athletes are over paid

 

[Wiirdo]

People thinking that it's worse for a legacy to lose in the Finals than get bounced in the playoffs.

 

[Ritzy Sharon]

ima set it off with the nba:

1. the idea that chauncey billups was a huge upgrade over iverson when all the nuggets did in '09 was win 3 more games in a much weaker western conference, and get relatively easy draws in the 1st 2 rounds of the playoffs.

.

3 more W's in the West was usually the difference between seeing the Rockets instead of the Spurs in the first round. a Chauncey Billups led team took the regular season seriously and didn't piss away games against bottom dwellers.

 

[23Barrettcity]

1. That assist are a good way to measure or greatness of a PG

2. That other then QB and DE, the level of player at the other position has great variability from team to team.

3. That the reason CFB is just as enjoyable to NFL to a lot of people because it doesn't take much skill or athleticism to play football. ( its just a bunch of men running and colliding into each other)

Edit: How the hell could I forget this one.

4. That people act like one coach can out coach the other coach in the NBA.

No one, Not ONE person watches a NBA game play out and say the reason for the result is because Coach A outcoached Coached B.

Number 4 is because your wrong .
Coaches can out coach each other . You think players are just out there freelancing and shyt ? There are a whole bunch of little things coaches have to do that can change the game .. Timeouts , substitutions , plays out of timeouts etc
