Idc if he’s the next Jordan. The only reason he’s coming back is no better options. I don’t want players that don’t want to be here.
Yeah. The way holland decomitted is troubling. When RT was announced as the HC he made a very public display of being all in then a few weeks later after they pick up a couple big time transfers he wants out. That’s just not the way you do it. And probably part of the reason Texas is playing hard ball with him.
He’s likely going to the G League which is fine with me. UT is wise for not releasing him from his LOI to keep him from going to another school. His only options are the G League or UT. Either way, he’s going to the NBA in a year so he needs to decide if he wants to get some college credits and enjoy the college experience or start playing basketball as a full time job.
You want to put some money on that?? If anybody is still doubting him after the playoff run he's had this year then I don't what to tell you. He's a special player. Comparing him to Laimbeer is laughable. Jokic is 3x the player Bill was.
Nuggets in 5. Lebron's age is starting to show in my opinion. He's still a damn good player but I think the fatigue is getting to him. He can't close a game like he used to.
3 missed layups, including mishandling the ball on his aborted reverse dunk. Altitude maybe? Or age? Or just a bad game.
That's probably true about LeBron but he wasn't the only one missing those three's.
I think it's a mixture of all those things honestly. Father time is undefeated. We really haven't seen a downfall in his game until these last 2 games in my opinion. But it's inevitable.
Uh, what I said was Jokic is a goon and Lambeer, also a goon, has two rings. Do I want to bet? Sure, we can also meet at the flag pole after school.
No, what you said was Jokic would never win a ring. Maybe go back and re read what you said since you seem to have amnesia.
And another thing about Bill Laimbeer and Jokic. Jokic has some serious bb skills Laimbeer had timing ability when it came to the boards that's it.
Top 100 of all time? Now there's a stretch. Having said that - those Pistons were the perfect "Team". Aguire/Dantley could score at will. Laimbeer could rebound, play D and hit the open 15 footer. Mahorn was the thug, but every team needs one. Isaiah was the quintessential point guard. Dumars could shoot and defend. Off the bench - Vinny the Microwave (a Baylor Bear) was maybe the greatest scoring 6th man in history. And Rodman/Salley - more length, energy and defense. I hated them - but will tip my hat. And to your point - Laimbeer was a more than just a thug They wouldn't have won without him.
Laimbeer is not even in the hall of fame so I would say a top 100 player of all time is laughable. Sorry I just can't agree with that at all. He was a good player though. I could name just 20-25 centers off the top of my head that were better players.
Now you've drawn me offsides. Laimbeer was a team player. Draymond is selfish. He single handedly cost the Warriors the title in the year they lost to the Cavs --- got tossed in Game 5, an L, then was suspended for Game 6 for too many techs - an L. A 3-1 series lead lost because of his unnecessary histrionics. And BTW got tossed against the Kings this year in Game 2 - again, an L.
Draymond is an 8x All NBA player (4x 1st team, 4x 2nd team). He's also got a defensive player of the year award. He's also made 2 All NBA teams. He's got the accolades.
The Nuggets aren't going anywhere any time soon. They've got a good young core of players that are going to be around for awhile. Wouldn't be surprised if they are in the mix the next 5-7 years.
Laimbeer WAS the greatest flopper UNTIL the zebras figured it out.
