And this why NIKE was so quick to move on from Kyrie...

Nike's only has 5 active Signature endorses...
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo
  • LeBron James
  • Kevin Durant
  • Paul George
  • Kyrie Irving
Ja replacing Kyrie...

His contract was up and they weren’t resigning him anyway.

Ja’s shoe was already in the works before Kyrie’s actions, but it does make it easier to move on.

I would say the east is easily the better conference especially with the Warriors struggling and Steph being hurt. Denver would be the fifth seed if they were in east (just a half a game above Philly)

If carrying a team despite the odds impresses you then Embiid keeping the Sixers afloat without Harden and Maxey for a month should impress you. Or KD keeping the Nets in contention with all the bullshit we've be going through with the Kyrie shit and coach getting fired 7 games into the season should impress you too.

I, for one, am tired of seeing teams get “carried”. I want to see complete team efforts. Shit is annoying.

And Jokic shouldn’t win MVP because then that means Lebron should have like 10 mvp’s cuz his whole pre Miami career was about carrying folks and even after.

Ja was getting his own sneaker regardless

Kyrie is 30, Ja is young and exciting.

Booker is getting his own sneaker also.

and you can also roll up Jordan Brand under Nike also.

but he's not big, he's like 6'8 playing center

He’s listed at 6’10. Jokic is 6’11. 6’ 10 and above is center height. When he was played next to Kobe you could see the height difference. If he was 6’8 he’d be only slightly taller than Kobe

Listed heights are often not what people say they are in the NBA

Chris Paul, Trae and AI aren't their listed heights.

True cuz I met AI and he about 5’10 not 6’0 but the NBA did do some “true listed height” rule in 2019 and some players lost height and some gained. Donovan Mitchell only 6’1 after he was listed at 6’3. KD got “taller” etc.

But man why y’all think Dwight is “short” lol. He don’t even look it.

Yep, I named all of them, because I've been beside them and we weren't the same height. They do the 6'1 thing, because there's a stigma of under 6 foot players.. With Trae's hair he's 6'1

Nets had 91 at halftime against the Warriors lol. Scored 143 and KD only had 23 of em. That’s crazy point distribution. Good shit
Was a good decisive win for them, they were supposed to run through the depleted Warriors The bigger test comes Friday against the Bucks. Kyrie better not be on the side line wearing some goofy ass sweater,

Won't deny the weight but he seemed to always be 6'10 atleast to me.

Peep him and Dream who was about 6'11. Their damn near the same height


Yea.. Hard to tell from there with the angles but Hakeem is (was) the taller player. Also had a bigger frame and vastly superior offensive game. Point still being that Dwight was a smaller center during his prime run. Not a midget.. but smaller.

I hear you..

I feel like Howard's like Roy Jones where he's a prisoner of his era. Their was no real competition for him during his prime. Shaq and Duncan were too old and Boogie, Embiid, Jokic were too young during Howard's prime to gage him against other greats.
