Much better deal than Pek's.

Comparing it to Lee's horrible contract just shows its not as bad as one of worst there is. Its the length of the contract that is huge not the amount per a year. Also, it is a new game with new CBA. Can't really compare it to contracts handed out before lockout. 4/36 Splitter 3/25 Asik 3/41 Jeffer...

he might be a pussy ass bitch, but he's a fucking good one, and let's be real if dwight had this year's harden on orlando the year he carried the magic to the finals, they would have put up a better fight...i like chandler parsons better than anyone on that magic team too, let alone harden Agreed. ...

Baron Davis is fucking awesome.

This is a strong comment.

So that LeBron couldn't play in the 90s talk is dead, right? I don't remember if anyone said that he can't play in the 90's but my argument was that Jordan was a better player. I think that is most people's arguments. I still feel that way. I think most people have him in their top 2 or top 5 or to...

Pat Riley is a bold motherfucker. Pat Riley ain't bold enough to trade either of those guys this summer.

Meh, I'd take Wade over Kobe. r Peak easy, career no, kobe has way more longevity and it's very unlikely wade will match I think Shade has already spoke about this saying he's more of a peak than longevity guy. I mean, I respect those who can grind it out long term, and that obviously has value. Bu...

In name only, imo. If anything, he was a combo forward that played a PF's role and could guard anyone. If you want to take it literally, then can we call Lebron a PF this year. Positions are fucking gay anyways. But people love to label things. If we throw positions out the window, this entire thre...

I don't think he brought the same thing to the Bulls. I feel like Pippen and Jordan were better defenders at that point. But when he was on the Pistons and his first year or two on the spurs, he was amazing defensively. This is a man that consistently guarded Magic Johnson when the Pistons played t...

What kind of an asshole would write Wade off? Basically only a dick would do that.

Completely realize the fact that Rodman was a specialist and Barkley had more responsibilities on offense but that only takes into account the offensive side of the ball and doesn't take defensive rebounding in to play. Now you can say that because of all of Barkley's responsibilities, he could hav...

That might happen in transition, like you said, but majority of possessions Duncan won't be on LeBron just cause LeBron is covering him. I agree about Wade, he is killing them on both ends of the floor. I said before series Green would kill them from deep cause Wade cheating. On offense they are sh...

I am not worried about the long term wear and tear, I am talking about his energy come 4th quarter. I also think getting LeBron closer to the basket (I assume you talking about on D) won't help them on offensive boards because Duncan can get boards over him. It will also probably make it even easie...

I see the sense in it, but man is that a gamble. It does get LeBron closer to the basket, and the Spurs themselves are the template for not giving a fuck about offensive rebounds. I imagine throwing some confusion into transition D is also on their agenda, and fuck the wear and tear with a max 4 gam...

IDK if Rodman doesn't belong on this list either or maybe I'm arguing for the sake of arguing at this point but........ He is the best rebounder on this list and the best one on one defender on this list. Arguing for it's own sake it is: peak Barkley was a better rebounder if you factor in that he ...

Avery Johnson? He was the assistant by title, but wasn't Nellie all checked out at that point?

I also believe that Brian Shaw will only get a head coaching job if he kills and eats an incumbent.

No way that Billy King made a bad decision here.

Barkley, because the Mailman never threw no one through plate glass. Also, there's a longevity vs peak thing here, and I'm usually a peak guy. Malone was never as flat-out dominant as Sir Charles.

EDIT: Duncan, Chuck, Malone, KG.

They are a team of people who wouldn't think twice about wearing white suede loafers.

Raw meat, turn the flame higher.

You think the difference between Garnett and Kobe on offense is extremely small? I just don't think that the case. I think he's saying Kobe is not as much better at offense as Garnett is better at D. I'd agree: Garnett as a defender is all world, especially in the era of deep system defense. He's n...

I have no idea how much of a weight-rat he is, so it's hard to say. If he's more Karl Malone than Charles Barkley in the gym, I think he'd be smaller but thereabouts in size.

I mean, I prefer KG to Shaq as a human (which is, admittedly, like preferring hemorhoids to herpes), but holy fuck are they not even close in careers. KG may have had more ability in several areas, but the era he mostly played in did not give a fuck about that and instead cheered as Shaq drove his a...

http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_stats.html I'm saying, drop LeBron into a 1987 league (100.8 pace, 109.9 fucking points a fucking game) and he'd have a legit shot at 30 points and 10 assists per game, and once in that late 80s era he could maybe have pulled an Oscar. Even 95 (101.4 ...
