If you’ve tried to hoop after age 35ish playing younger guys, or any decent talent at all full court you can't help but marvel at 23 seasons of basketball at a high level.

Next level stuff from Bron

Salute to Chris Paul too. He's pretty much washed now, but hes had an impressive length career also.

3 of the spurs 4 losses are by a combined 8 points and the other one was just a no show against the suns. Not bad for a team that picked number 2 in the draft:ehh:
I think this year they get little bro'd by a vet team in the playoffs

Then learn how to win those close games by next season

Steph aint gonna be able to put up 50 every time :heh:

It just goes to show you how dominant Victor is.

First time he had a real nba team around him and a real star player around him and he basically 8 points away from being the number 2 seed in the West.

Spurs not ready for Denver or OKC but anybody else might get got in the 1st round.

This dude is already one of the greatest defenders of all time the media is starving for him to make the playoffs it aint no way he getting in foul trouble unless he playing Jokic or SGA he going to have a license to kill on the court come april :pachaha:

This is why it's a no for me on Giannis :hubie:

He went from never getting hurt to getting hurt in the playoffs to missing the playoffs hurt to hurt 15 games into the season :hubie:
People shyt on Ja's game talking about how bad it's going to look once he loses his athleticism, but Giannis is in that same conversation

He would be free and fit in well, Pistons had Malik Beasley and THJr looking good. LaVine has a good skillset, he would work on a good team with a good coach

Lavine is elite if all you need is buckets while Cade and Duren rest

He can get his 25-30pts with 1 assist and somehow not take away from anyone elses production


Tired of seeing teams try him as the no. 1 option while also not constructing a team with identity around him

My worry is that he thinks he's a 1st or 2nd option when he he really is a 3rd option. And he doesn't have 3rd option qualities. I believe he's a decent spot up shooter, but he struggles playing off the ball. And he's absolutely terrible on defense

That's disrespectful to Giannis and it's not the same conversation


He actually delivered while he was at his peak :unimpressed: got a ring and back to back MVP's, no one's gonna look back and say "man Milwaukee had a chance and missed" that man delivered for his franchise, did everything a owner can ask for in a superstar and was grateful the whole time


Ja doesn't deserve to be in comparison to him, there's tons of non mvp, ringless players who lean on athleticism that we could compare him to.

And it looks way worse for Ja because he's still just a small guard, atleast giannis is still tall/strong once his motor starts slowing down.

Ja is literally useless if he cant float in the air
