  1. Isn't having the Bulls below the Lakers and Celtics kind of absurd especially if you think Atlanta is the worst team remaining?
  2. Lakers fans thought Kobe surpassing Jordan was still in play until last night and now they're swearing off the team for having the temerity to lose.
  3. 8 percent is less than the difference between Rose (37%) and Rondo (46%) Also less than the difference in winning percentage between Chicago (.756) and OKC (.671)
  4. If you gave a Keith Bogans/Derek Fisher marching orders to get up 20 attempts every night or his contract would be voided he'd probably shoot in the 20s percentage wise.
  5. I know basketball is new to your neck of the woods but a bad perimeter player couldn't even get up 20 realistic attempts (no heaves, 35 footers, etc) every night in the NBA.
  6. It's hard to believe now but VC was decisively ahead of Kobe in the "next MJ" debate back then
  7. mannnn, i hate how everyone is taking pot shots at AI now
  8. I'm not so sure. Really tough to compare the two since they are polar opposites. But Iverson was a career 41% shooter averaging 6 assists. I'm not a huge fan of Rondo either, but he has a ring. He's a good creator and a good defender. Does Boston win a championship with Iverson instead of Rondo? I'm not so sure. lol, no. I think we can plausibly argue that the 08 Celtics with the 2000 version of AI would've been contenders right? Can you plausibly argue that putting Rondo on the 2000 Sixers instead of AI is a plausible contender? Does that team even win 20 games? AI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rondo We're gonna go ahead and ignore how pathetic the Eastern Conference was back then? They beat the Bucks (IN 7) in the ECF. The Bucks 4 and 5 positions? Manned by Jason Caffey, Scott Williams, Mark Pope, and Ervin Johnson. Hey man he did beat VC when he gave a crap
  9. JJ Barea just said his big men were setting "hella screens" and that he was "just putting [expletive] up" 8-)
  10. Brown really reacted well after being public enemy #1 for beating the hell out of Rihanna but he's really stagnated since

  12. I don't understand why anyone would hate Iverson. He was an absolute joy to watch and carried absolute dreck supporting casts way farther than they had any business going. It literally saddens me that his name can be used to demean another player. It's a god damned compliment of the highest order. also lol @ Ron Artest
  13. Another key difference: Iverson was way, way better and it's an insult to the sport of basketball to compare the two
  14. JJ Barea is annihilating the Lakers
  15. iverson was a chucker, everyone knows that. of course, when you play on a team with supporting "stars" like theo ratliff, aaron mckie, tyrone hill, george lynch, keith van horn, an obese derrick coleman and a 75 year old dikembe mutombo, can you really blame him? who else on those teams was going to create any offense? Right, I'm on board with that. There have not been 5 more talented humans that have ever touched a basketball than Allen Iverson.
  16. Do you guys really not see that Rose has to do everything on this team to generate a decent look? Luol Deng's a fine player and a terrific piece but he is not a secondary ball handler. Watch us get OJ or Afflalo or someone like that and they'll murder playing off of Rose.
  17. if you're a sixers fan you should be offended that these boobs are using Saint Allen's name as a pejorative to defend rajon [expletive] rondo
  18. But Rondo isn't in the same universe as Iverson
  19. dwight with kobe in his prime would win multiple titles easily Really? You're putting Dwight on a prime Shaq level? nope. you said shaq carried teams to a title like he didn't have much around him. he had [expletive] kobe bryant in his prime. Kobe wasn't in his prime then. Simmons said it well. If teams had guarded Shaq like they do Dwight in the playoffs he'd have put up 50/20 every game. There's a good reason why Dwight's team has gotten appreciably worse as his offensive numbers got prettier. He's a dominator but he can't win a game by himself like a prime Shaq or Hakeem did. He's Patrick Ewing.
  20. dwight with kobe in his prime would win multiple titles easily Really? You're putting Dwight on a prime Shaq level?
  21. Why is imb a Dwight Howard stan? The idea that that guy is going to carry teams to a title like Shaq did is utterly laughable.
  22. A brief one. David Stern presented the award and DRose gave a 10 second speech. 10 seconds more than he spent on the ACT lmao
