Random NBA Observations 2019 - 2020

[Saint1]

I'd bet Dame stays in Portland his whole career. I think he wants to go down as a basketball God in Portland. He might not win a ring but it'll cement his legacy.

I think Players like Shaq, KD, Kyrie, CP3 legacies are slightly downgraded because they moved around a lot.

I think Kobe, Dirk,Harden, Bird, Magic, Kevin McHale legacies are all helped because they become synonymous with a team. I think Dame is going this route.

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

So now we want dudes demanding trades instead of staying the course? My oh my how things have changed since the decision and the KD choice

KD already had a finals appearance under his belt and was up 3-1 before losing to the warrior and than joining them. That's what people were mad about not KD leaving.

This thread is awful

Example of NBA fans not knowing what they want

He took the squad to the conference finals last year without they big man

Hood, Nurk, Collins are injured and they just picked up Trevor Ariza

But you nikkas want him to request a trade cuz one off season where they’re still in playoff contention?

if I’m KD I’m going to Golden State too

nba has the worse fans

 

[KillerB88]

They will always be a step or two behind elite teams. CJ is nice but he will always be 6'1 and a terrible defender.

I'm getting Kobe circa 2004-7 vibes, Dame has a shot to be one of the greatest guards in NBA history but he will never reach his full potential in Portland.

 

[Nero Christ]

this Bos/Hou game is the combination of all the worse things about modern NBA in 1 game

quick bricked 3s

constant whistles

dead crowd

 

[LezJepzin]

Every time I hear Jim Jackson talk about his time in Dallas playing alongside Kidd and Mash


nikka we all know what happened

 

[No..Money..Mo..Problems]

Not the greatest but one of.

Name a point guard not named Curry that is better than Dame in the last 15 years?

Only thing holding him back is a ring or two

 

[High quality poster]

He should request a trade cause he can’t get his team over the hump?

 

[Michael's Black Son]

They’re Basically in that Memphis Zbo/Gasol/Gay purgatory tier. Been should have seen whet they can get for CJ.

sad but true but you at least felt like “Mempis” (lol) was really about to shake shyt up at some point because they had a damn squad.

Portland feels like a slightly upgraded version of Melo’s Nuggets that you knew were never going to do shyt. And to keep it 100, the last time the Blazers even felt like a threat was in the Drexler/Terry Porter days.

you see it

dude trying to shoe horn KD in this convo lol. KD played with 2 MVPs, Dame hasn't played with anyone in the top 20 with the exception of maybe LMA when dame was younger

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

And still lost. So why was people mad when he chose to only play with one?

If Dame gets Portland in the playoffs and joins the Lakers/Clippers after lowing to them you'll have a point.

I'd bet Dame stays in Portland his whole career. I think he wants to go down as a basketball God in Portland. He might not win a ring but it'll cement his legacy.

I think Players like Shaq, KD, Kyrie, CP3 legacies are slightly downgraded because they moved around a lot.

I think Kobe, Dirk,Harden, Bird, Magic, Kevin McHale legacies are all helped because they become synonymous with a team. I think Dame is going this route.

All those players with enhanced legacies have rings though.

Not when there's a sport where the fans throw banana peels at black players.

Definitely not similar situations but yeah. Lillard's situation is more akin to KG's.
