Alexander Martinez
Harden or Kawhi....who's better
Michael Sanchez

Kawaii > or > Soften
Landon Collins

Benjamin Nelson
derozen
Evan Sullivan
LeBron Westbrook Kawhi/Harden Durant AD
This is the definitive top 5
Isaiah Rodriguez
>That order >There are six players What did he mean by this
Ryan Ortiz
>6 players in your top 5 >no JW wew lad
Kayden Gutierrez
How do you guys honestly defend still watching this league?
Do you watch it just for memes? I assume so, because there is no enjoyment to watching the NBA
Easton King
How does the presence of a white point guard change the Cavs' strategy?
Brayden Ward
>no John "that nigga" Wall >westbrook >6 players JUST
Ian Johnson
ahha we did it again canada-kun
Tyler Wood
I've been rused
Lincoln Lewis

I was in Chino today and ended up driving past /BBB/ HQ on my way to Chino Hills State Park.
Sebastian Adams
>Cavs traded Godrie for THIS
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
Colton Price
>okc barely beating a literal who aussie team by one point what the fuck
Adrian Clark
who /markkanen/ here?
Dylan Foster
Kid made it rain this one game 20 in 17mins, 4/5 trés Can he do it again?
Alexander Kelly
Kentucky is doing their NBA pro day on the secn. This team is loaded again with prospects, but imo Hamidou Diallo has superstar potential in the NBA. Athleticism off the charts and a jump shot that should keep improving. He's a prototypical 2 guard.
Kayden Reed
westbrook is ruining OKC's chemistry
Xavier Bailey
>preseason games Lmao, you thought they were out there with all their starters like a real game and shit? Are you dumb?
Zachary Russell
Kobrick blew a 3-1 lead
Juan Gomez
All the starters played 30 minutes. Should have blew them out by halftime.
Carter Flores
>okc need refball to beat a nobody team by 1 (one) point wow this big 3 sure is menacing
James Hill
remember when people said GM lebron was fucking up the team. then he brought a championship and didn't get credit for the gm moves?
Sebastian Nelson
...
Leo Russell
Is there any GOAT you don’t hate
Jeremiah Davis
>people pulling/tearing muscles and twisting ankles left and right >andre drummond out with pinkeye Can this man do anything right
Dylan Parker
Jordan Hakeem Duncan It's only chuckers I hate
Lucas Gomez
if you aren't top 10 all time you aren't a GOAT.
example: barkley was a great player but not a GOAT. maybe a GOAT PF but thats about it
Eli Evans
All staggered and closed out the game with only PG
Jose Jackson
Any average NBA player should be able to solo an Australian team
Christopher Cooper
so based on skill and accolades curry is a top 2 pg now right?
Julian Russell
Are their any players you are emotionally invested in? I want to see Ingram do well since he's from my hometown
Thomas Roberts
Yep simply because he plays in the LeBron era. He should thank the King for inflating his legacy.
Anthony Williams
>It's only chuckers I hate >Jordan
Michael Hughes
I'm emotionally invested in seeing the thunder and especially westshit implode because of all their dickriding flyover fans that shit up this general
Brody Brown
Fuck off parry
Jayden Nelson
Jordan regularly shot about 50%. Kobe's best season is worse than any of Jordan's full seasons at Chicago; Westbrook is even worse
Adrian Jenkins
>PG13 Tripped on himself in todays game lol
Jack Cox
Just out of the top 10 all time PGs, right below Gary Payton and maybe Tim Hardaway who is drastically underrated
Lack of defense, bad basketball iq and playing with Durant ultimately hurts his legacy in my eyes
Cooper Johnson
not him, but how are you seeing my post? doesnt your precious pb filter anything that treads your safe space?
Nicholas Watson
t. Retard
Christopher King
I follow all the balkaniggers and look forward to seeing them do well. Even the Cr*ats
Isaac Anderson
Warriorfags shit up these threads way more than everybody else. Then it's eternally delusional lakerfags and celtfags. Shit like cavs/okc bandwagoning is a just a response to them
Adam Howard
In the regular season or playoffs yeah but you want them to go hard and risk getting injured?
Jordan Smith
Please, there's barely any warriorfags in this general, and when one actually does show up or shows a slight preference to the warriors you all get on them like rabid dogs. go fuck yourself and make some new le epic snake copypasta in the super sekrit locked discord filled with ecelebs like that fat fuck clips
Eli Morales
>I want to see Ingram do well
There's literally nothing to like about him regardless of where he was born.
Jason Roberts
Just my opinion. He also loses points in my eyes for ruining a generation of players by reducing basketball to meme shooting. Great fucking shooter, props to him, he's at least top 3 all time behind Miller and Allen, but his worth as a PG is limited until he starts playing defense
Dylan Gonzalez
It's not about defence, and it's not about offence, it's about point differential. Curry's point differential is far better than Paytons ever was
Carson Nelson
I want Kyrie to prove everyone wrong KD to go down as a top 5 player all top Curry to be top 10 all time and the best player under 6'6 ever (if he isn't already) Blake griffin to eventually get a ring Devin Booker to at some point be a top 5 player in the league
Liam Hall
Norman Powell because he's gonna be a beast for my rapties and D'Aaron Fox because I drafted him for my fantasy team.
Ian Morgan
>it's about point differential
Adrian Walker
>waah golden state killed /nba/ You all wished it upon yourself. Dunning–Kruger effect.
Ian Hughes
Delete this. We can't allow bba to enter without an audition just to troll Clips all night.
Asher Murphy
I get why those autists put you on the pastebin desu
Eli Flores
Whenever a player completely changes the game for the league, schools, and rest of the world, showing to be one of the most impactful players in decades, he deserves to be at least a top 3 point guard. He's the most skilled offensively of all the others at least and is gonna retire with at least 4 rings.
Connor Young
Soon
Owen Brown
literally who
Daniel Martinez
All those except blake griffin getting a ring will happen.
Josiah Peterson
It is retard
Score more points than you allow and you win. That's what basketball is all about.
Julian Brooks
Justify this team's existence
hard mode: no bringing up the fact that they provide LA with cheaper seats compared to Lakers games
William Howard
Payton didn't have three elite shooters and a stacked bench to help him statpad
Jayden Lewis
Lonzo's nightmare
Hunter Hughes
>3 different high schools
so basically he didn't learn nothing from 9th grade through college.
Andrew Jackson
Changed the game for the worse. I ref youth basketball and its apparent the negative effect Curry has had on the game. Players don't have any mid range or posts games anymore, its all 30 ft 3 pointers. Once a week I'll see a kid with a floater game, but thats its, it's actually quite depressing as a fan of the sport
Christopher Torres
This post made me laugh way harder then it should have
Jacob Martinez
They give LA a playoff team.
He reminds me of john wall without the passing/playmaking ability. He shot like 25% from 3 in college, he's fast and has good length for defense (7'0 wingspan). He'll be an alright player. 1 or 2 all star games maybe
Nathan Diaz
>3 Don't tell me you think Draymond is an elite shooter
William Nguyen
Dude they literally hide Curry on D because he's so bad, but because he has Iggy, Draymond and Thompson to cover his ass, the stats look half decent for him on d
Understand this one absolute truth, Curry might be the worst defensive (((star))) of all time
William Perry
>so basically he didn't learn nothing Oh the irony, but let's be real. Most NBA players don't give a fuck about their education. One of the superstars in the league actually believes in the "woke" bullshit, and I have a feeling he's not the only one.
Blake Morales
knicks can't defend for shit.
Carter Nelson
>Curry might be the worst defensive (((star))) of all time That's not Harden
Christian Anderson
Curry has a floater game. Dunno why you praise people who shoot floaters tho, they are even memier shots than the three.
Liam Martinez
Doesn't matter. Warriors hide him, it's on the other team to expose him, and they don't.
They don't create switches on the guy he's defending and play smart basketball making smart adjustments. Until a team runs double screens, even triple screens to expose him it doesn't matter if he can't guard other PGs.
Adrian Rogers
Whether it's for the worse or not, if you can change the game worldwide, that impact alone should show your greatness. I don't think its for the worst, neither do most nba coach as they change their styles, neither do younger players/kids. Sports evolve. Baseball went from .400 batting averages and 5 home runs a year to .280 and 50. Basketball goes from big men dominating to little guys shooting. If the game shifts like that and the player (curry) and team (warriors) that are mostly responsible for it have shown so much success how is it for the worse? Technically this is a better way of playing (if you have the ability to shoot well) if it shows more success. This game is evolving for the better.
Cameron Robinson
>35% for three and averages a triple double per night Yeah, anything north of 35 for three is elite
Nolan Morris
Yes that's what im implying, Curry has helped bring back the floater so that's a positive for him. After the fall of Nash and TP, I was afraid it was gonna die off. It is a meme shot but I think it takes some real skill to master at least and thats good for kids to learn
Jason Ortiz
Basketball is technically at its lowest point in terms of pure technical ability. Aside from Kawhi, very few players are actually analyzing the game. It's just lel 3 pointers and lel use my athleticism. Fundamentals are dying and its mostly Stephs fault
Connor Walker
>Lonzo ducked Fox in Vegas Blvd >Now he ducking Fox in preseason Really causes one to ponder
Jose Roberts
Bruh Draymond shot .308% from 3 last season
Liam Ward
Is that really a youth problem, or just a shitty community intramural scrimmage problem? A lot of youth basketball programs still use fundamental skills when the coaches give a damn about set plays. Chino Hills and Stephen Curry are the exceptions, not the norm.
Ryan Thomas
define "technical ability". As it stands dribbling, passing, and overall shooting are all better than ever
Daniel Butler
If one way is more superior, why are you holding on so tight to fundamentals?
