Russell Westbrook's career averages is

21.6 pts, 7.1 reb and 8.1 ast

Does that disqualify his 200 triple doubles?

My post wasn't to disqualify anyone. It was to show that the closeness in assist between MJ and Bron showed that MJ wasn't selfish and passed teammates the ball assisting them in scoring.

Based off the numbers, Bron and Russell did/do a better job at it.

They also played different positions and roles on the court so that also factors in the perceived selfishness.

You also mentioned LeBron made teammates better and got teammates paid. MJ made stiffs we never would've know famous, as did LeBron.

How much MJ got the stiffs paid I don't know? And I'm not gonna research it either

Wow, haven’t looked at the standings in a while. Pelicans gotta be the most disappointing team of the year— maybe after Philly but with 100 times less press.



Wolves and Kings quietly outside the play-in as well.



Given the hype around them after last year’s playoffs, Minnesota only being 4.5 games better than Philly could be arguably the biggest underachiever, given the injury issues the 76ers have had.

I didn't realize that they were this bad. I thought it was just the injuries.

The main reason the Bulls were contenders is because Pippen was grossly underpaid and never rewarded by the Bulls front office financially. That gave them flexibility to sign a guy like Kukoc. MJ never helped even Scottie get paid. He owned a sports franchise and never even paid the few guys he had. Gordon Hayward was his biggest signing. Klutch just signed BI yesterday, nothing in MJs story compares to that.

NBA is a fuckin joke yo.

I remember this EXACT moment because it was a big thing on sports talk in the city for a while... you gotta have them moments though... those that know remember Dream talking about Moses Malone kicking his ass at the Fonde and how he credits that for turning him into a monster.

Yao had potential to be one of the greats had it not been for injuries. He could shoot, post up, pass, play defense... people forget how good he was.

Suns Injury Crisis Is a Microcosm of NBA’s Early-Season Plague

Tough to get Beal, Durant and Booker on the floor at the same time in Phoenix. Tuesday night was just the 53rd time they've played together.

Good luck with that. Lol

 

[jawnswoop]

Fake injuries to give these players rest.

 

[therealjondoe]

Good luck with that. Lol

He's been decent when he's catch and shoot/minimal dribbling
Problem is he can't stop fucking dribbling

 

[pookie]

He's a major LeBron hater but at the 3:25 mark talks about how the 3 point shot by NBA players is making the game almost unwatchable

Dude would probably kill himself if LeBron won another championship

 

[therealjondoe]

@Beeiii dodged another bullet

But what other team wants to deal with that?

It is the injuries

Have you seen their G League rosters they've been putting on the court?

They're finally getting some people back

 

[Beeiii]

I told you this already last week

 

[Beeiii]

Fake injuries to give these players rest.

Jaylen Brown and Derrick White: are real injuries as they were injured earlier last week and did not play yesterday.

Porzingis: is Time load management as he just got back and needs to ramp up to his normal minutes.

Horford, Tatum and Holiday are 5 games in 7 nights rest(that is two back-to-backs in the same week)

More Michael Jordan was purposely overrated by the league and media receipts...











This is why his fans can't really promote him anymore @Amajorfucup. Trolling and anti-intellectualism is all they can do. Which doesn't help sell shoes or keep Mike and Kobe relevant but it does keep Bron's name fresh.

That would explain losing, but it wouldn't explain the poor play.

CJ McCollum played 31 minutes against Golden State but only scored 5 points.

If he was hurt, the coach shouldn't have had him out there that long.

 

[praetor]

I gave up on the game after the white boy got a violation during the intentionally missed free throw.

That game took forever to end.
