/nba/ general

First for Snake posters are cancer

>>77498480
>to get more rings
So you're saying he would get more rings leaving an organization that he secretly has high influence over? He's not going to have nearly as much power anywhere else, hence why he left Miami when Riley tried to put him in his place.

>>77498497
If he has power in Cleveland, why did they fire Gilbert?

>>77498514
I said high influence, not complete power. Gilbert is trying to flex on LeBron, and LeBron isn't having it which is why he leaked rumors of him leaving Cleveland. He's not really going to leave though, he just wants to send a message.

LeBron is a snake, and a calculated corporate faggot who probably has an operating IQ around 80. He's a piece of white trash from the worst shit holes of Ohio, which is one of the worst states in America. He will leave and how he hasn't said jack shit about staying, it's a foregone conclusion.

Most worthless points ever scored in a game. Disgusting rigging by his teammates to foul purposely to create extra possession, stat pad down 20 the entire game even with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter, and the unabashed, morally bankrupt, and shameful gawl to take a picture afterwards like Wilt Chamberlain when it's not even close to being the same or relevant.

This is the future of the NBA? No thanks, I don't want any part of that.

well?

Reminder Gordon Hayward is a unclutch disappearing act. Blew the layup to tie the game against Lakers in Kobe's last game, where he was tasked with guarding a 40 year old Kobe Bryant who proceeded to drop 60 on his ass.
Was so bad in the playoffs a 40 year old Joe Johnson was their closer at end of games and won them the Clippers series.

>>77502680
Cute, he thinks that Kobe's last game was a real game and not a league sponsored Kobe exhibition. Gordon Hayword and the entirety of the Jazz had no desire to win that game.

I don't know but if LeBron does leave, I don't think my sides can handle it.

At the end of the game, how do you determine who won? You look at the team's points, not their assists.Points are LITERALLY all that matters. If anything else mattered, Russell Westbrook would have multiple rings

>>77504811
Your logic makes no sense at all. Rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and multiple other things matter. Points as you're talking about in only one dimension of scored points isn't the whole story at all.

It's team total points and team total points are effected by rebounds, assists, FGM points, FTM points, steals and blocks taking away possessions that lead to points, TOV possibly taking away a total possession that could've been used to score a point of leading to points in your team's favor.

the Bucks have a huge range. They genuinely could be the second-best team in the East, although I think they'd still lose to Playoff Lebron. Honestly they're probably on the same level as the Raptors and Wizards at this point, just below the Celtics.

I'm not even a LeBron fan but I hope he and Kyrie work it out. I don't want to see him waste another year at 32 in his 15th season. We're probably not going to see this godlike level play from him for much longer.

>>77510419
He's going to waste this year regardless honestly. This year is just marking time until he inevitably leaves, and it is kind of a giant shame. The writing is on the wall.

It wouldn't be the most surprising thing in the world to see him spending a lot more time on the bench with ticky-tack "injuries"

>>77510484

What's the best way to measure shooting ability?

Steph Curry made over 300 three point shots in the regular season last season. Something no player, other than himself has done in NBA history. How many do you think he'll make next season?

>>77511431
500

>>77511431
302

>>77511431
In my 2k17 game Thon Maker is making 300+ threes easy as a small forward.

Could LeBron and Steph as two lone superstars in an average team win a championship? How far will they go?

- Here's the Team Lineup -

PG : Stephen Curry
SG : Dion Waiters
SF : LeBron James
PF : Serge Ibaka
C : Joakim Noah

Bench :

Derrick Rose
Ian Clark
Anthony Morrow
Enes Kanter
Javale McGee

>>77511431
No one has taken as many attempts too and neither did any other team in history since the Warriors that year but yeah totally ignore that.

>>77511396
The best simple rule-of-thumb is to just look at True Shooting. But true shooting does have a few limitations. For one thing, TS% is determined in part by usage - there's an inverse relationship between usage and efficiency, so if you're looking to get an idea of shooting ability as divorced from usage, TS% can be inaccurate. I also don't like the way that it takes account of free throws. So you should take that into account and look at the actual number of shots taken and made from various spots on the floor and stuff like that. I don't think there's any one stat to accurately take all of that into account - for one thing, nobody's actually sure exactly how much increased usage decreases shooting efficiency.

>>77511558
True shooting isn't near close to that because it rewards flopping and shooting a bunch of FTs. He's talking about actual ability, like form, proficiency, actual game study, not a meme stat you retard.

>>77511550
That doesn't answer my question at all.

>>77511498
thats a great team bro. waiters and ibaka are both underrated

>>77511550

Pelicans: Cousins
Kings: Papagianis (mainly cause he is greek)

Bucks: Antetokounmpo
Cavs: D-Rose

Hornets: Howard (Yeah over Walker just because I want to see what he can still do)

Players I look Forward go see playing this season on every team

>>77511621
he asked about how to measure it, which to me means looking at statistics.

and second, I don't think that TS% is necessarily an accurate representation of shooting ability. That's kind of why I made a whole post about its limitations, including its problems tracking free throws. Like... I literally said that it's bad at taking account of free throws. But if you just want to look at a single stat because you're lazy, it's the best single stat to look at.

And if you just want to do the eye test, that's fine, the eye test is good, but why ask about measuring things in that case? Unless you're out there in warmups with Steph measuring his biomechanics or something.

Should you only compare players who play alike or play the same position ?
People love comparing players who play different positions but, the more common sense comparison would be two players who play the same position.... LeBron vs Jordan / LeBron vs Kobe has been going on for a while now but clearly we can see that LeBron does not play the SG position and he doesn't play like a SG he plays the SF and plays like a POINT FORWARD ... Should you only compare players who play alike or play the same position ?

>>77511749
Nah, it took Kawhi 4 seasons to break out as a superstar. Duncan was consistent since his rookie year. If Kiwi can have 5 more seasons like last years then we could talk

>>77511872
No because at the end of the day it's basketball and the stats end up evening out. For example points stay the same throughout positions, ~25-30PPG, then the rebounds and assist also even out for example, a big can average 10reb but only 4 assists while a PG can average 4 rebounds but 10 assists thus being equal to their teams contribution. With all this being said, Lebron>Kobe.

Lebron James had the biggest choke/meltdown ever by a superstar in the NBA Finals history in 2011?
Keep in mind, Lebron got outscored by a BENCH player in Jason Terry.

>>77513903
but like, come on, man, you can't judge their defensive value just based on blocks and steals

In about 10 years, I think Curry will have a valid argument from people to be the greatest pg of all time. Really think about it.
He has 2 MVPs already. One of them is unanimous. If Durant didn't come, chances are he could've gunned for his third in a row.
He led the Warriors to the greatest win record ever, and if not for the miracle in 2016, he'd have a THREE peat.
He's the greatest shooter in NBA history by far, and his game has pushed the game forward.
There's no reason to think he won't win more rings.
Heres a "Hakeem" type argument.... Curry will have dominated the GREATEST era of point guards in NBA history.
He already has 2 rings over Lebron and chances are more on the way.....
The generation coming up will have him as the GOAT pg, and there won't be much to argue.

Who's the best in their prime?

>>77513977
Kobe

Kyrie should stay in Cleveland to win championships desu. LeBron ain't leaving either. It's not like the Jordan-Pippen situation because unlike Jordan, LeBron isn't a closer and Kyrie is the one who hits game-winners. They can win more rings together and Kyrie will cement his place as an all-time great, maybe even top 10 but only if he stays with LeBron and keeps winning.

The worst NBA player of all time (to play a significant number of NBA minutes) is Woody Sauldsberry and it's not close.

The worst playoff series for a starter ever is probably Deshawn Stevenson's performance for the Wizards in the first round against the Cavs in 2007. Started all 4 games (the Wizards got swept), and averaged 6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.

Those are some statistics about some extremely bad NBA players.

>>77513944
He'll have a legitimate argument to be the greatest PG of all time if he can keep this up (I think he's probably already in the top 5). But he would have to spend a really long time being this good to be in the GOAT conversation. I mean, he didn't have his first GOAT-level season until he was already 25.

>>77513944
>Heres a "Hakeem" type argument....
Curry got dominated h2h by other point guards and only won rings when LeBron was out of the game?

>>77513998
1. Steph
2. CP3
3. Westbrick
4. Wall
5. Rose

>>77513977
Hakeem. Robinson sucked in hte playoffs.

>>77514013
Even if they stay together in Cleveland, they already have problems with the roster around them, and those problems are only going to get worse, and they have no real avenues to substantially improve.

Even setting aside all the rumors and the tension between LeBron and Gilbert and everything - how do they improve the team to be a real championship contender for the next 2 years?

>>77514093
They don't really need to improve the team. LeBron and Kyrie will just have to go GOAT mode and I think they can do it.

>>77513998
steph
rose
westbrook

johnathan wall*

wall hasnt hit his peak yet

>>77514157
I think if Kyrie agreed with you, he wouldn't want to leave

>>77514165
LMMAAAO rose>Westbrook who are you
The only debate is whether Steph or Westbrook is better

Greatest guards of all-time

1. Jordan
2. Magic
3. Kobe
4. Steph
5. Wade
6. Isiah
7. Harden
8. West
9. Stockton
10. Kidd

>>77514231
derrick rose in his mvp season at 22 years old is better than westbrook in his prime, just let that soak in.

>>77514231
Steph is definitely better than Westbrook, so that one can get settled pretty easily

>>77514266
Rose fan here, you're retarded. Stop making us look bad. We lost this fight at least two years ago.

greatest guards of all time:

1. Jordan
2. Magic
3. Kobe
4. Wade
5. Curry
6. Isiah
7. Havlicek
8. Parker
9. West
10. Stockton

>>77514312
Rose has more finesse than Westbrook, which is why he can still somehow muster 18 ppg even after 2+ knee injuries. Westbrook is lebron-lite, but with even less skill. He only bulldozes through defenses through sheer athleticism. If Westbrook gets a gruesome knee injury (which he might because of his style of play), he'll be even worse than Rose.

>>77514364
Stop

Trust me, you'll get over it. I already did. You will too.

Kinda funny that the Cavs are imploding like this. Giving JR and TT retarded contracts was the catalyst.

>>77514364
The discussion (shitty as it is) is about these point guards in their prime. Why are you even talking about what Westbrick's going to regress to when he gets a hypothetical gruesome knee injury?

>>77514407
Comparing skill. If young MVP Rose is better than Westbrook, imagine how much better he would be in his prime assuming he had no injuries?

>>77514426

If if was a fifth we'd all be fucked up. If Len Bias never died he would have been better than MJ. If Oden never got hurt he would have been top 10 all time. If the suns didn't get half the team suspended they would have beat the spurs that time

If the league wasn't a bunch of pussies that succumbed to the anti-lebron propaganda, LeBron would have 7+ rings by now.

>>77514465
Explain.

>>77514465
>>77514426
If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas.

Get over it

>>77514465
>le NBA rigs against lebron maymay
if the NBA truly hated LeBron he'd be called for travel every other possession

>>77514474
The NBA derailed LeBron's career because he was too good. There are so many haters of LeBron that it would simply be unprofitable to the NBA to let LeBron completely dominate the league. The league has been working in subtle ways to create artificial difficulty in LeBron's endeavors. They let the Mavs play physical 2011, because in no way would LeBron actually get outplayed by JJ Barea. Then there was the AT&T incident where the air conditioning of a multimillion dollar stadium just happened to stop working, affecting LeBron's psyche against the Spurs ever since. Then of course the NBA allowed KD to go to the Warriors to beat LeBron. Now that the league is "retiring" these refs, the script is ready to turn heel and LeBron is about to go on a 3 peat.

the 2013-2014 spurs

>>77514741
Yep. Only rookie PG to average over 10 assists was Mark Jackson and I think Lonzo will have essentially the same season Jackson had (13.6ppg / 4.8rpg / 10.6 apg) on about the same fg shooting (.432) but slightly better 3pt shooting (.254). However, I don't see Lonzo getting (2.5spg) like Jackson.

I think your stats are about what we can expect, but fg% maybe 44% and 3pt might be as low as 30% and as high as 40%. It's really hard to tell because his 3 ball is so streaky.

3. Got his first finals MVP in 6 tries – Self carried the Lakers to Championships!
4. Records the most missed shots in season and playoffs – Greatest Laker ever!
5. Missed playoffs & fight for 8th seed during his prime w/ superstar players – Best Athlete of all-time!
6. Still lost when his Team is ahead 3 – 1 in the series – Tremendous Killer Instinct!
7. 6/24 shooting in Game 7 finals - Best clutch player in history!
8. Never averaged higher 50% FG shooting in season, playoffs, finals, olympics – Purest of the pure shooters!
9. Records the most 0 assists in a game among all stars - Make his teammates better!
10. Demands a trade when his team is struggling - Most Loyal player ever!
11. Gets a 30 million contract in his twilight years of his career - Sacrifices for the team & care about winning!
12. Played with shaq (3 finals mvp), eddie jones (all-star), van excel (all-star), Malone (2 mvp), payton (dpoy), gasol (allstar), bynum

(allstar), odom (6-man), Dwight (3 dpoy), Nash (2 mvp), Artest (Dpoy), Rice (Allstar), Richmond (HOF) - Always lead his team & never got any

Rose
Steph
Westbrook
Paul
Wall
no disrespect to any of them...Derrick Rose basically carried the Chicago Bulls to 60 wins in his prime. Steph, even with his efficiency couldn't do anything like that with Rose's team. Curry is next because he's efficient and has rings. I might be rating westbrook too high because head to head Westbrook makes Paul look like shit defensively and almost always outplays him, especially when they meet in the playoffs. Actually, that always happens to Chris Paul anyway...most top tier pgs expose his defense and generally just outscore him.
But he's still better than Wall, who hasn't proven himself enough yet.

Gomenasai, my name is Anthony-Sama.

I’m a 23 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School and join their basuke bukatsu. I hope I can play for Japan's national team at the Olympics!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Wish me luck in Japan!

Depends if i can prepare. I'd have to go in there after eating a really big meal and after hydrating on lots of water. I hope it's the NBA ball since it will be light. Also depends on room temperature. If it's 70 degrees I'd be fine. it would probably take me 8-12 hours if I don't die from dehydration. I would only wear briefs, knee pads, socks, shooting sleeves and shoes to be as light as possible and to protect joints. I think the best way to do it is to walk and not burn excess calories from running.

>He has more playoff points in less shots than Jordan making him a more efficient scorer than Jordan.

It literally took LeBron 30 more games to equal Jordan's total. That's how much better Jordan was than LeBron.

Jordan was just scoring

Lebron was doing literally everything

>>77518580
Jordan was just winning.

LeBron was doing literally everything else but winning. He was choking.

>>77518587
>Jordan was just winning.
The Bulls were just winning

>>77518580
>you now remember LeBron's horrible 4th quarter stats and how he ruined his team's chances of winning despite playing good the rest of the game

>>77518580
>Jordan was just scoring

And hitting game-winning shots and not choking in the clutch.

Excuse me, this will help you:
Starting this October they will have played same amount of seasons:

5 MVP vs 4
9 NBA All Defensive vs 6
1 NBA DPOY vs 0
10 Scoring Title vs 1
3 Steals Title vs 0

I think you meant 6 > 3

>muh Jordan never passes meme
He passed when it matters. He doesn't win without passing to Paxson or Kerr. Stay mad Lecuck.

This

That's why Kyrie is supposed to be the closer and proved it last year when he hit the most clutch shot in more than a decade. When LeBron carries the team for most of the game, but can't close because he's tired and pretty much the most unclutch passive individual ever when there's 2 minutes left on the clock, he and Lue draw up all the plays for Kyrie and give him the ball.

But this didn't happen in the Finals this year, instead LeBron had the ball and he choked. Passing to Korver for three, who is unclutch, instead of taking an open layup, handling the ball and making all the decisions just to turn it over, brick shots, and get his shit blocked by Iggy.
Kyrie should've been the one taking the shots, but he didn't. And you can tell he was pissed, and that's one of the reasons he pulled the trigger to leave this off season instead of last year.
