what did he mean by this

Why are american insults so uncreative? It's just bad words strung together

le wew kobe bros xD

Did you say something?

I can't understand what you said.

Can someone give me a quick rundown?

Also a quick rundown of what this picture means????

REAL QUICK THO

This is the BEST song ever made by a basketball player no fucking lie.

>losing the skills challenge in the first round

Status????

>skills
lmao

This Dinosty starts NOW

youtube.com/watch?v=bYvzvLFo5BI

I want KD, Russ, and Harden to play together tonight

what is /nba/ doing until the all star game?

I'm playing games on my ds emulator and gonna work out

>watching the all-star game
enjoy never getting those hours of your life back, it will be fucking shit like everything in this all star weekend except the rising star challenge and even that was barely enjoyable

nah senpai it'll be fun why do you have to be so cynical

maybe last year's ASW ruined me, this year has been so shit in comparison

last night was terrible, I agree. I'm tired of literal whos competing in the dunk contest

Dunk contest is just dead by now. People have literally done everything there is to do to jump and put the ball in the hoop. Plus last year they had that special show on TNT called Dunk Kings that completely blew anything the NBA has ever done out of the water.

Ultimate debate.

Which squad was better.

2008 or 2012?

youtube.com/watch?v=OBZhxQoz6T4

Lol lakeys wish they drafted Devin Booker

Not clicking on this but I'm guessing it's Olympic team? 2008 was legendary

>Melo broke the Olympic record for three pointers made in a game

>that Kevin Love to Westbrook lob
>Westbrook dunking over that 7'2 foot center

>Tyson Chandler and Derrick Williams in their prime and before the injuries

2012 had a bunch of meme shooters while 2008 was more athletic and a dunk marathon.

Pick your poison.

>ernie breaking down in tears

fug

Is there anyone here?

Where? What are you talking about?

There was a memorial service on earlier that paid respects to everyone basketball-related who died last year.

Ernie was hosting it, he started to cry when Craig Sager was shown.

>Slow-ass thread

ernie is such a pussy nigger lmao

I think ad wins MVP tonight

>tfw the character in the video game you're playing is so much more interesting and beautiful than 3d girls

It must suck to lose a friend from the same disease that almost killed you

STILL NO TRADES REEEEE

Pray for this family

do you think that guy has seen his wife BLACKED?

>after today, which is boring as shit, there is no basketball for 3 (three) entire days
Fucking kill me

>Nike shirt

Dad confirmed for Lebron fan

News Flash

Normies, and especially kids, don't take basketball that seriously and are fair weather as fuck.

Why is bill simmons so delusional?

>tfw season doesn't start till June

Feels bad man

Get high and pass out on the couch

>mfw -1 wins
>mfw paul george is literally Amir Johnson tier

Why, in a billion years, would the Pacers ever do this?

The Nets pick will be in the late lottery next year. Lin will be healthy and they will bring in some RFA.

Bill Simmons is delusional as hell. AD is a generational talent and is untradeable. Brown won't be anything besides a above average starter. When the Celtics blow away all this assets they will be the laughing stock of the NBA for the next decade

Because the Boston Celtics are THE BEST and you must BOW to them and trade ALL your assets to the throne you PEASANT also Tom Brady.

Reminder that it's going to be Spurs vs Wizards in the finals and Spurs sweep in 4

I've been watching a bunch of old playoff games from recent years and it all makes me sad about the current state of the NBA.

Remember 2014? When the majority of the first round games went to 7 games?

Remember when the #1 seed Spurs barely beat the #8 seed Mavs and Vince Carter hit the game winner to win game 3?

Remember when Dame hit the series winner against the Rockets?

Remember when the Clippers beat the Warriors in 7 games, in the first round?

Remember that insane comeback in the last minute by OKC against the Clippers in the semis?

Remember when the Pacers were good?

All these games were competitive, down to the wire, and hard nosed from the beginning.
There were barely any blow outs and parity was at an all time high.

As long as you made the playoffs you had a shot to win it all.

Now we all know who's in the Finals.
Last year OKC gave us hope. But that was it.

Now there's no real second team, just high hopes and delusion from Spurdoras that refuse to acknowledge how bad the Spurs were last year and how they're transitioning from old to new players and their former pillars are now faded and torn.

Celtics fans seriously overrate their players, it's so damn weird

No one else does it like they do

I wouldn't trade Anthony Davis for the entire Celtics lineup.

So many clutch shots it was unreal.

That was probably the best year ever with collective great games in a playoffs.

youtube.com/watch?v=DykyXys9tCo

>this fucking essay just to throw a weak shot at the Spurs

Haha my fucking sides. See you in the finals faggot

>when DeRozan could've won the Nets series and put the Raptors to the second round the first time in a decade but tried to play hero ball going deep into the paint and got his ass blocked surrounded by 4 guys

That Nets team was stacked looking back and would've gone to the ECF if Pierce and KG were a year younger.

Heres a quick rundown
>The Warriors and Cavaliers bow to him
>ball IQ rumored over 900
>in metaphysical and psychedelic contact with Kobe
>pic related: the phone call that saved okc

>that OKC Spurs WCF

>that Wizards Pacers ECSF

>That OKC Clippers WCSF

Damn, I might just watch those games instead of the ASG today.

That shit was the GOAT, at least in my lifetime.

Nick Young weighs in on the Flat Earth debate with an interesting take:

twitter.com/ArashMarkazi/status/833430701311717378

SPHEREKEKS GET OUT

>I just think the Earth don't end.
>I think its just going to run out.
what did he mean by this?

>Lance Stephenson could've been the next great player but turned down a half max because he thought he could get a full max somewhere else

This dude high as a kite

Swaggy P with the Harvard-level analysis

someone give this man his PhD

>Paul George looked like he was going to beat LeBron and be the next GOAT

Life just keeps tumbling down. I don't think I can handle all this.

Will this game suck like the other events?

Don't know, but really interested to see how it would play out if Kerr put Durant and Brodie on the floor at the same time

what does cleveland get for this trade though?

u mad /nba/?

Steph BTFO

Rubio

He's right. Steph hasn't shown up to a single Finals game.

We should just keep it to Cavs vs. Warriors. There's no player to player battle. Unless KD actually shows up and challenges LeBron head to head and we know that's not happening because he's going to let the team do the battling, no iso to iso battles.

I would say Kawhi vs Lebron is a more legitimate rivalry

>Steph hasn't shown up to a single Finals game

Game 5 2015: 37 points on 23 shots
Game 4 2016: 38 points on 25 shots
Game 6 2016: 30 points on 20 shots

lebrons only rivals are

Lebron vs. Pop (in terms of basketball IQ)
Young Lebron vs. prime Paul Pierce

that's it. The absolute ONLY people lebron ever admitted to being his rivals or being on his level.

...

can you please stop hyping up this family of busts?

...

is this the ugliest family of all time? this should be documented as a reason not to mix races

damn so curry really wasn't injured and STILL managed to blow a 3-1 lead.

wonder what curry dickriders excuse will be now

All that and he's a massive choker, lol. Check the real stat that matters, the 4th quarter stats and the W.

Iguadola won Finals MVP for a reason.

I think it was the pressure....

D up, pussy

Curry was the real Finals MVP on the Warriors. Not Iguodala. He got it for stopping LeBron, but they could've had Harrison Barnes on LeBron and they still would've won.

>"stopping" lebron
>lebron averaged 40ppg

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Show me LeBald's stats and tell me how Iguodala "stopped" him lmao....

He got finals MVP because he guarded LeBron the most and everyone else just shat the bed especially Steph and Klay.

how many bings till the game?

on 40 shots

The shitty thing about it was LeBron still got his numbers in the 2015 Finals, like you said they could've put Barnes on him and the result would've been the same, Curry was average in G1/G2 that year but he was great in G3 to G6 and should've got FMVP, the media just didn't wanted to curve him that year

I would've chosen LeBron as MVP but Curry was the MVP on the Warriors

3 bongs

Who let Kristen interview these niggas when they were clearly high af

*yawn*

Did you guys see Hannibal burress dropping the bomb on durrcant? That shit was straight up savage.

Why does he sound exactly like NORE?

Why is Dikembe do upset? =(

i'm tired of wack ass rappers like i'm tired of hoes with chokers

Klay always seems high as fuck. It's like he's smoked so much he's forgotten how to not be high even when he's not high

you just KNOW

Hot take:

Klay hasn't smoked weed since college

The only player Kristen has most likely fucked is Lebron. She loves that nigga

Dragic
Waiters
Hayward
James Johnson
Cousins

Who the fuck can stop us \

>Kings have had recent discussions with New Orleans on Cousins, sources tell @TheVertical. Sac still debating Cousins' future internally.

So AD is winning MVP isn't he?
