Hear that? That is the sound of a bubble popping.

It is almost like people still haven’t learned their lessons.
From last year’s All-NBA selection, this is the list of players that I don’t believe he can ever be better than the remainder of his career: LeBron, Kawai, Steph, Westbrook, Durant, and Klay.
Noah was most certainly a Top-5 player that season and if you don’t think he was then you either didn’t watch basketball that season, or have a very limited view on what talents and abilities Top-5 players possess.
I don’t know, if Lonzo becomes nearly as good as John Wall, I think his career will be seen as a success, yet Wall doesn’t have a shoe deal.
I see from other comments you made that you believe he was never a top 5 player, that is absolutely absurd (http://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/awards_2014.html). I will agree that it is difficult to rank him in the top 15 atm due to his injuries and adjustment in style of play, however, I think if he stays…
Lol. Very true.
33% is enough to force defenders to cover him and is pretty good for a power forward. And keep in mind, this is Blake’s worst skill, and he is competent at it. He is still one of the best low post players and you ignored his ball handling and passing abilities.
Tbh, Zach Lowe has influenced my thoughts on this more than anything. He likes to respond to “Should Team X blow it up?” question by correctly pointing out that you never know what is going to happen, pointing to various historic anomalies that occurred because of an unexpected event (from injury to Draymond’s…
You have no idea what you are talking about. Blake used to have overwhelming athletic ability, so that it how people think about him. However, he has developed a reliable jump shot/3-point shot and is a fantastic ball handler and passer. His game has already started to, and will continue to age fine.
You aren’t wrong, but here is the deal, in 2011 the Mavericks were an ancient team that had years and years of bad luck. The Lakers had just gone to the Finals 3 times and won the last 2. You had a resurgent Spurs team that won 61 games and a young loaded Oklahoma City team that looked set to dominate the Western…
When healthy, they are the third best team in the league. At that level you don’t need to get better, you need to get lucky. They of course are going to age and get worse (especially Paul) but (if they resign him) Austin Rivers’ development has been astounding and I believe he will continue to develop in to a…
The Spurs are way too old and dependent on Kawai, James Harden’s machine works for the regular season, but it is unlikely they can go berserk with their 3s 4 times every series, and historically, outside of the LeBron Heat team, no team has gone to the Finals 4 years in a row in the modern NBA. I don’t think the…
Their core of three all-star players is as good, if not better than any other team not named the Warriors or Cavaliers. You get a talent evaluator who can identify nice young pieces, or older (not old) players on cheap one and done contracts (like what the Jazz did) and I would be surprised if they don’t go to the…
The story was the least of my concern for Halo 5, it was that the encounters were all so samey and enclosed in some arena space. It really felt like they spent all their energy on the multiplayer side of things (which was the best Halo has had since 2) but ignored single player.
I loved Quantum Break.
I don’t think you are correct about the timeline. Kobe signed with Adidas, who dropped him just before the allegations came out and Nike picked him up during that time.
But here is the disgusting thing about LaVar, if he pushes for his son to get a lucrative shoe deal (which is the correct economic decision), LaVar Ball doesn’t get any of the proceeds, but if instead LaVar Ball pursues a shoe deal that gets Lonzo through their licensing agreement with LaVar’s company, LaVar gets all…
Larry Bird fired Frank Vogel, like, it was absolutely his decision, why in the world would he want to reunite with him?
