yeah I think it's a good story about how to dump a lot of money down a hole

agree that lebron is really opening himself up to a ton of (legit) criticism

blatt is the first guy lebron will be thrown under the bus.. but at this rate cavs are going to need a lot more bodies

i still can't get over with the fact that lebron and blatt didn't meet for more than a month after he was hired

lebron has always been very inflexible about the method of offence he wants to play and this organization is just not cohesive enough to manage the talent

yeah so I'm reading that anthony piece. he comes off very bad. I don't entirely blame him, he doesn't know better, but he's falling for all the trappings of branding. Pretty much everything he says is in the frame of "I want people to see me as.." or "I want to be thought of as"... rather than "I want to do.." or "I want to be..".

I doubt he'll ever go broke, because he's not stupid, he's well connected, and he has an assload of money. But lol @ his "projects" ever doing anything.

The answer is: There is a very reasonable chance that Brow is the best basketball player to ever have existed.


Celtics fans have one thing though: There is a very reasonable chance that Sullinger is the non fraud version of Kevin Love.

has Derrick Coleman been retired long enough for everyone to realize how good he was?


how many times did the hick from french lick score 43 when he was 21?

what's that you say? not a fair question bc he didn't start playing in the nba until he was 23??!?

1. TRG

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Seems doomed to fail, like the ring aspirations he now has sour grapes about. He's quixotic like a pyramid scheme cog.

that's exactly what I thought to myself as I read it...very well put.

and his "projects" are just venture capital gambling...so that he can have more money to get people to see him a certain way.

that or a way to say, "see? I'm not like every other athlete, I bet $10,000 that this gadget will take off!"

Bird like Jordan benefited from zone defense being illegal. Not to mention, you could hand check, so they always could feel where their defender was located.

Wrong thread

Agree with all of this except it appears that he's aligned himself with a legit partner which could be his saving grace on the investment front, at least for the next decade as that dude is old.

Shouldn't. Heck you of all people should love them. They are being run in true TZGM fashion.

Hence awful

If the playoffs started today, Orlando and Sacramento are in

Orlando is whatever but Sacramento is madness

I know it is just regular season and his role is totally different but still feels weird seeing Chalmers playing so well right now.

This guy was slanking so hard in the playoffs last year. I think it shows what the playoffs can do to a roleplayer when they are in a slump.

Don't think there was a reasonable chance MJ would be the best basketball player to have ever existed at 21, yet it came true.

Nobody doubts Brow's potential he's just not nowhere near GOAT yet until a few more seasons. Injuries, mental toughness, lack of development, etc are really not impossible things despite the oh so long career he's already had.

Young Shaq to my memory had no attitude or ego problems or anything like that, and worked hard on his game. He turned lazy and diva later in his career. Things can happen.

Remember when people were high on Charlotte?

Why?

I think there might be a case that big men like Brow can develop earlier/faster but peak at their "natural peak" due to basketball being bigger and having more resources while younger. Don't really have much to back up the idea except Independently Analyzing it, but it seems hard for big men to improve drastically after they develop their go-to moves offensively and condition for defense.

I mean, I really don't see someone like David Robinson getting dominated by Brow, or not being much better if he grew up in this era rather than 30 years ago. The list of top centers of all time is really crazy if you look at it, and Brow isn't even better than any of them currently, not to mention all players.

It is madness in how apparently right it is.

Like in a "Wow WTF no way, but now I get it." way

Eastern conference.

Charlotte could be something that will just take some time + faith in Lance. I was pretty high on them and still reserving something but yeah it's not looking the best. That's 5 straight complete failures.

Tell me about Hassan Whiteside. I don't ever question anything the great Pat Riley does but the information about this guy is pretty scarce/incomplete.

The Laker Sunday night game is one of life's little pleasures.

Fell from projected lottery pick to the second round through some combination of lack of maturity, lack of intelligence, inflated ego, and severe ADHD. His Yinka Dare-level passing ability probably did not factor much into it, though.
