You can't guard me

wew kobe

Will Irving and Love be sitting out with LeRest?

...

idk i haven't watched nba basketball in a good week desu. Shits getting busy. Heard that faggot booker dropped 70 trying to catch the ghost of kobe.lol faggot.

>GS:Stephen Curry scores 27 with 12 dimes in win

/nba/ shook

Oh nice, he only needs score nearly 3x more that to catch Booker

Damn Utah look so vulnerable. The lack of consistent playmaking seems like it will really hurt them in the playoffs.

Need them to win this game so that OKC can move up to the 5th spot. Hayward is Roberson's bitch.

the scariest thing about that Booker game is that he wasn't even shooting that well from 3

if he was on fire from 3, he could have easily hit 81, maybe even more

i bet anything that if i look at the highlights or find the full game somewhere, his teammates began feeding him every possession after he hit like 55 or 60 just so he can try to beat 81. what happened did he not have enough time to go for 81?

i dont really see the issue desu, the game was fairly close, it wasn't a massive blowout like 30 points

sure, kobe's was more impressive because it was sustained pretty much the whole game while booker got hot in the second half

they stopped going for it around 45 seconds iirc, and let the clock run out

boston fags are just mad because they got embarassed on their home floor and their fans were cheering for another player, crowder hates that shit. thin skinned faggot desu, ive always hated that guy since he booped Wall

his team was purposely fouling boston to get possession back without losing time basically the entire 2nd half of the game lmao

What's wrong with feeding a guy if he's hot? Simple logic man.

>LeBron James Questionable (Right Eye Corneal Abrasion) for tonight's game.
They making fake injuries up for Lerest now

nothing but if the games over then its wrong af if they're only doing it to break a record, basketball cringe imo.

Migrate to pre-existing thread y'all:

(1/2)
hmmm....

I agree. I'd be fine with it if the game was close but this is just sad. The famous game where David Thompson dropped 73 (only to lose the scoring title to George Gervin who dropped 63 later that day) was a 137-139 loss. The game where Robinson dropped 71 ended up 112-97 in favor of the Spurs.

you're actually retarded he got cut on the eye

>kobe was sustained all game
he score like 23 in the first half.
58 in the 2nd half

i dont miss KD at all desu

Lets use this thread i guess

I feel kinda bad for the Ball bros after finding our their mom had a stroke. I know what that's like... I have a feeling that it's gonna fuck them up big time. Their father is still a piece of garbage, though.

Anyone wanna lick westbrooks toes and rubs on his abs in a non gay way

raptors rockets final

>wall drops 37 and has 11 dishes to go along with it
Is he unshook?

Imagine if their mom died. Lavar would literally be cut off from the Ball family forever. He wouldn't get a dime.

As the reporter says, there’s an unconfirmed report out there that says Ball’s mother, Tina, suffered a stroke, citing an anonymous source close to the family.

An excerpt from that story:

>“Wow. You nailed it. Although you don’t even know the half of it. Lavar took over the high school program, added the Coach, his puppet (which is why he quit last year after becoming the national coach of the year) and Lavar stepped on and crushed countless other kids’ careers and love for the game to get his kids on the court. If you are allowed to shoot at any time from any where and never come out of the game, any decent idiot could score 30 points.Also, Tina Ball, his wife had a stroke on Feb 21. She had life threatening skull surgery to relieve brain pressure – guess where Lavar was during the operation that could have killed his wife? – at the CHHS vs. LB Poly game with his sons, including Lonzo. He still has not allowed his kids to see their sick mother due to the media attention it would bring to him, and cause BBB sales to diminish. [Name of hospital] in [City of hospital], CA – Tina is there now and he only visits for 1 hour a few days a week, while her Mother has yet to leave her side. Pathetic!!!”
Regardless of whether or not it’s true, asking a player about his mother’s health when he’s on the podium is an unacceptable move. If you’re truly working on that story, find another way to get to Ball or the school’s media relations person and ask it privately.

>poor little white boy.jpg

fuck those other retard kids, the ball boys are the future

the ball family was featured on ESPN like two days ago, mother walking around fine

FAKE NEWS

Well apparently he has his own youth league and is rich already. His kids wouldn't hold a grudge for something that was out of his control but I know what that moment is gonna be like when they get to see their mother and I honestly don't know how to feel about him not letting them see her yet. There's still hope that she can recover to a more functioning state so maybe he wants to wait till she's a bit better.

Another dumbinate performance by the Clippers...

Im going to say somthing controversal but i think this place was butter with 7kt and go wiz poasting here...

Where do you guys rank Dirk all time? Obviously he is top 10 offensively but as an overall player he falls back to something like top 25.

imagine being surrounded by 14 big sweaty giant mostly black men in a small locker room wearing no clothing man i wonder what that smells like

damn black people really going to get blanda'd up in the next couple generations. you never see a real dark nigga ballin anymore

top 15-20

A tier behind lebron and two tiers behind kobe/duncan

Yeah top 25 but he's definitely one of the harder ones to place. Trying to consider his position is pretty hard

But Lebron is ahead of Duncan and Kobe

>Lebron is ahead of Duncan and Kobe

lol oh child...

Lakers legit best franchise of all time

yeah duncan is questionbably but definitely ahead of kobe

fucking this, why can't more anons be more like you. they are too busy dick riding the nuggets.

>But Lebron is ahead of Duncan and Kobe

Obesity is the #1 killer in the USA.

>Well apparently he has his own youth league and is rich already

Why is he shilling so hard for BBB then? Isn't that enough already?

I'm 6'1" 185, but pls tell me more

>tina ball is white and lavar is light skin mixed but the kids look like mixed kids

wtf men someone explain

lebron has spent his entire career in the east, this stat means nothing

what about 48 win teams? 46? 49? why does it HAVE to be exactly 50 or more? such a dumb stat, kys stephen

I have a stat for you: 70+ win teams eliminated

Damn, you got em with that 70+ win team eliminated stat.

You sound like a commie.

>spend your entire career in a historically weak East conference
>never leave because muh free finals trips
>meanwhile based Kobr wins 5/7 rings in a historically strong West conference

but that means everything lmao

what do you mean by this?

>i dont really see the issue desu, the game was fairly close, it wasn't a massive blowout like 30 points
You clearly didn't watch the game then.

It got the point towards the end where the Celtics weren't really even trying to play defense because the Suns only cared about getting Booker his shots and the game was already decided by that point.

Has nothing to do with being mad as a C's fan, good for Booker it was entertaining to see him get 70.

But that entire final quarter was super dumb, literally the Green teamers were cheering on Booker because the game was already over and all they cared about was Booker scoring.

It was an awful game.

>getting all these (you)s from that one autistic Celtics fan

comfy

Some questions going off of this all-time stuff for you /nba/

Dirk or Scottie Pippen?

Dirk or Karl Malone?

Dirk or John Stockton?

Dirk or Jerry West?

Dirk or KG?

Dirk or AI?

Do you dare think that LeBron's best teams would not do as well or better than Kobe's best teams against the same West competition? Don't @ me again.

Cavs would get raped
Miami might be 2nd or 3rd seed

...

Please, don't refer to it as Kobes teams. That was Shaqs and then Paus team.

3 rings bitch

Kobe was GOAT.

>LEBRON COCKROACHES HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHERE DID YOU ALL SCURRY TO? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHAT'S THE MATTER CANNOT HANDLE LEBANTZ? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I WON FAGGOTS

>lebron has spent his entire career in the east, this stat means nothing

prime lebron/wade/bosh heat vs prime kobe/shaq lakers

who wins?

Oh look, Harry spamming with the Sup Forums pass his mommy bought him (Sup Forums pass removes posting cooldown)

>the pelicans are good enough to beat the warriors, they just arent good enough to get the 8th seed

Where is Oscar Robertson ranked all-time? He has 0 all-defense selections, but same with Magic. Oscar also never had good teammates until he went with Kareem, and he was already old at that time.

fucking exposed

Shaq in his prime was pretty fucking ridiculous. The Big 3 Heat lost to Dirk.

Clearly the Shaq lakers.

It doesn't matter if we lose, we are still the winners.

Kobe's Lakers

you didn't read the entire post, or you didn't read it corrightly faggot. maybe you should pause you're weeb porn and read again.

>Pau

>you didn't read the entire post,
tldr that one either lmao

i haven't seen a post with lmao that has any content worth reading

All defense didn't even exist until he was outside his prime though

personally I have him in my top 20 but lots of people don't

I know, that's why I'm saying it's hard to place him correctly. I have no clue what stats even prove how good or bad his defense was. He was better than Magic offensively IMO and can't possibly be worse on defense since Magic didn't even have any all-defense selections when they existed.

lmao retard

Why doesn't the NBA used the point differential for determining tie-breakers?

>I have a player I have never watched in my top 20
I laugh at these teenybopper 20 year olds talking about Wilt and Oscar

use* ties*

sorry men I'm a bit drunk

I proclaim this Hinkie's Law. any post with the phrase lmao in it adds little to nothing to basketball discussion

>the new orleans pelicans havent built up enough chemistry yet to beat sub .500 teams or have a .500 record with boogie and AD in the lineup
>that being said they are fully capable of challenging the warriors in a 7 game series

>20
>teen
U OK senpai?

Most people here haven't even watched anyone older than Kobe play. They were born in the late 90s and were like 5 when Kobe was dominating. Most of them barely even have memories of anyone older than Lebron.

Yeah its pretty difficult for anyone who played extensively pre-73/74. Magic's defense was alright as far as I can tell but he wasn't elite. He did lead the league in steals twice and he's 3rd all time in playoff steals (for now, give lebron a couple series this year and that might change) and he's 19th in steals per game and 21st in steals.

i ignore the opinions of anyone younger than 25 they don't got brains

>being this naive about posters here

Not all of us are 30 year old babbies like you. I watched Pettit tear shit up with Wilkens and Hagan live.

ill say this too...

watching a player play live/on tv is different than watching it 10 years later on highlights

kids nowadays turn on kobe highlights and think he was alright. i remember there was a point where everything kobe threw up past half court went in, no matter how difficult. normies pretending like curry is the first guy to hit some meme shots, no, mcgrady did it too. arenas had a season of it, remember hibachi?

pisses me off desu

>and think he was alright

no they don't, they think he is some former godly player when he was just a volume chucker like westbrick and harem

Nigga the fuck you on? Kids shout "kobe" when they shoot all the time.

not anymore, gramps

the problem with this is its all based on favorable memories, kobe is a career 44% FG/32% 3 point shooter

>tfw older than my team
>tfw grew up watching the entire history of my team unfold and achieve new heights
>tfw saw them have the best season in the history of the squad last year and being fucking proud

it's like having a cool brother and growing up together senpai

hahahaha how will lakerfags EVER recover

MJ had a 50% fg rate ahahaha holy shit

>my
>my
>together

Dwyane Wade is better all time sg than Kobe
