People were questioning Joker for wanting him

Sports reporters and pundits look at his outside shooting and dismiss everything else he contributes.

Exactly. His terrible 3 point shooting is still terrible but what he is giving this Nuggets team goes far beyond that. He’s supposed to be a bench player but he’s making it a difficult decision for Malone cuz he’s lowkey outperforming Jamal Murray.

Me too. One of the better late career HOFer redemption stories. Maybe the greatest because I can't think of anyone who was as disrespected as he was who bounced back.

A good as he was, McGrady was another of these players that had a style that "looked good", fans loved, and they turn into GREATS in revisionist reflection. There is no way that a player who was somehow a better passer than Lebron, never won a playoff series. It's impossible in a team game like basketball. Impossible.

So do you think Shane Battier is an idiot or a hater? Because as a guy who received passes from both who has a reputation as one of the more intelligent players, you'd think his opinion would have some weight.

Miami Heat brass leaking all these stories to their buddies in media. Its a smear campaign to justify the lack of support and care they've shown Jimmy. Attacking his character is pretty low. :smh:

The heat don't have no other choice, butler is injury prone just like the majority of those players they probably don't want. It's what it is. Miami should make that move to get it over with, so the team can focus on winning some games and not having to deal with butler drama.

Listen here you little fairy. This is who Kobe really compares to. That mutha fucka ain't got no business being mentioned in the same sentence as Bron. T-Mac had battles with Kobe and is from his era. He's a much bigger part of Kobe's story than Bron is. Thats who the Kobe fan pages should be dissecting and telling stories about.

Truthfully, at this point, only Magic and Kareem are greater Lakers than Bron. His farewell tour when he retires as a Laker is gonna be so epic like nothing we've ever seen before. @Costanza
