Man. I too believe Russell was overrated and had the benefit of nice squads. His pace-adjusted numbers aren't great(people forget those NBA 2k numbers from the 60s have a lot to do with pace). I've watched the available footage of him playing. Watching him play offense is fucking painful. Although Dwight wasn't an offensive powerhouse, at least he didn't shoot in the 40 percent as a big man. Bill's pace adjusted numbers are like 10ppg.
His defense and rebounding can't be denied, but offensively. 
If you adjust Wilt, Oscar, and some of the other era's stars for pace, they still have superstar numbers. Bill doesn't.
Dirk would have averaged a lot more that 30 in that era. Who the fuck could have checked a 7-footer who could shoot that far away from the basket and has better handle than 90 percent of the players in that era? Most those cats were still going to the left with the right hand in the 50s and 60s. With that fadeaway, Dirk has one of the most unstoppable shots the league has ever seen. If he had a different personality, he'd have easily scored more points. His unselfishness and loyalty to the Mavs definitely hurt him in the all-time rankings.
It's like blasphemy to question Bill Russell being top 10. Fuck that. I feel most people just say his name and never, ever watched him play. Naturally, those from his era will include him because that's what humans do. And those Celtic teams were stacked and well-coached. Red was on some Pop shit back then.

i don't smoke weed at all and not into smoking weed.. but i do kno that weed smoking actually calms a lot of bi-polar people down and that it also tends to help people with chronic pain relax more... it's more of a relaxer than anything cause it puts them in a slow calm down mode
It can also exacerbate symptoms of anxiety. YMMV.
hey man i don't fuck with weed i juss kno people that really are bi-polar(females, strippers, sex workers) and i see how weed calms down a lot of their nutso side..like some bitches really be having paperwork to show that they certified 730 and some show how they get govt checks for being certified..that weed being doin wonders for the calm down even more so than them pills they suppose to take..in certain cases i completely understand why they need to be life long potheads cause when they kick the habit or don't get they fix oh man the crazy side reveal itself and you be like wtf and who the fuck is this crazy bitch
Word.
The realest shit you ever wrote
I had a really bad injury and refused the narcotics. I couldn't sleep and lost alot of weight. Weed got rid of the pain and increased my appetite.
You don't have to 'smoke', you can consume it and get the same effect.
It's a medicine. Help's ease pain, depression, helps with cancer patients and all other sorts of things.
Not saying it's healthy, but it's not horrible either.
If you want to equate people that smokes weed to what we put in our body daily when it comes to processed food, the air we breath (especially in big cities), and whatever else, then where just as fucked.

if we adjust for pace then how come only a handful of people were able to do it lol
i don't buy the pace argument
how about the spread floor argument for this current climate
the reason these guards are able to get triple doubles is because there are no bigs in the lane and the spacing on the floor is as spread as its ever been creating way more opportunities for the guards to get boards?
Steph Curry is still underrated and doesn't get respect.
Curry has the best plus-minus in the league, even better than Kevin Durant
He's on track to have the 4th best+- in nba history
His +- off numbers which means how good the team is when you're on the court as opposed to when you're off of it is above any of the dudes front running now.
his is +15.5
Harden +1.9
Leonard +0.5
He's having an OFF year and will end the season with the 3rd most 3pointers made in a season in nba history
In his off year he's dropping 24.9 a night and that's after adjusting his game the entire season to let durant drop 25 a night.

I'm talking about smoking it, though.You don't have to 'smoke', you can consume it and get the same effect.

I don't knock ppl who smoke weed, but when they get hotep and talk about it being a healer, a problem solver, being able to talk to the spirits up high, all this healthy shit... man foh until you can provide proof. You smoke to get high, period... which is fine, but call it what it is.
I know you can consume it different ways, but I'm talking about smoking.
This Colin Kaepernick shit is getting out of control. The draft isn't over, summer practice hasn't started, the season hasn't started. Cool the fuck down. If the season starts and he isn't on a team...go for broke. Until then, use your damn head and think. Don't just follow the masses.
Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's has health benefits, but it's far from something you can rely on as far as overall health is concerned.
I smoked throughout graduate school. Hell, many times I was stoned at school doing work.
Shit, I teach that way as well. Teaching calculus on weed
I do a GREAT job though.
It's an enhancer for me. Brings out the creative side. Helps me with patience and it can help me focus.
I do think deeper about shit and I do get very connected with natures DEPENDING on where I am at.
But it's different for each individual. Pots heads can be annoying, but there are a lot of smokers like myself that understand that there are benefits. We also understand it can be destructive.
Some smokers do it just to do it. Hell, I do it just to do it. But I also like that it really helps my with certain aspects in life. It's my vice. I don't drink and I TRY to eat healthy, but I have my moments of weakness.
Doing what exactly? Bill averaged 15 points and 22 rebounds. Depending on the era, his stats fall to 10-12 points and under 14 rebounds when adjusted for pace. Bill did what he did. Was a fucking pioneer. He dealt with racial quotas and took risks that few others would take. Man is a legend IMHO.
Take his pace adjusted numbers of 10-12 points and under 14 boards. How many have done that? Don't forget those assists fall too.
But top 10? Hell no. Let's be honest. When Wilt entered the league years after Bill, there were only how many players 6'9" and over? Like 5 including Bill and Wilt. Meanwhile, the shooting percentages were horrible. So you talk about modern guards but don't look at how bad things were in the past?
Also, Red wasn't a slouch. He took risks when others wouldn't. Looked for talent and put black players on the court. What team had someone like Red? It's like asking who the fuck has a Pop now.
Bill got those rings. Got the rep. But if someone takes him over Hakeem or any one of a number of post players they are batshit crazy.
wait...is this your unpopular opinion lol?
Speaking of the conscious community, I had a convo with a dude a while ago about subatomic particles.
He goes on to say that subatomic particles dont exist and the white man made that up so he can appear smarter than he is....A bunch of other people also showed him he was wrong and he still wouldnt accept that he was. I didnt know that saving face was that serious
The only thing worse than the knowitall was the hotep hoes that believed his every word, probably just because they wanted to fuck.
At that point I really realized the conscious community is no difference than the Black church. A man in the center of attention telling spewing false information and groupies believing it.

Cant agree with that bro..................Fuckin MARK butt fumble Sanchez already has a job that like his 8th job......FUCK!!! White QBs can FUCK UP and get another job...... KAP should be allowed another chance.
KAP is a freakin starter tooo stop with backup BS. KAP had 16td and 4 int and ran for about 500 on a bad team. And if you watched the games they had a chance in some of those games cause of KAP.
People should keep the pressure on the LEAGUE and the owners.....FUCK THAT!!! If sanchez gets a check so should KAP. Brian Hoyer keeps getting jobs, Josh Mcknow keeps getting job....Come on MAN!!
Possible spots for KAP: LA RAMS, Raiders, Seahawks, Denver,Arizona, NY Jets,Carolina, Buffalo
numbers below KAP is better and should be a starter. KAP should stayed in SF perfect fit for him.
Kaepernick: W-L: 11-24 | Comp. percentage: 59.7 | Y/A: 6.9 | TD-to-INT: 41:19 | Rating: 85.9
Hoyer: W-L: 13-14 | Comp. percentage: 59.6 | Y/A: 7.3 | TD-to-INT: 37:20 | Rating: 86.2
Glennon: W-L: 1-4 | Comp. percentage: 59.3 | Y/A: 7.0 | TD-to-INT: 11:6 | Rating: 86.0
McCown: W-L: 2-20 | Comp. percentage: 58.7 | Y/A: 6.9 | TD-to-INT: 29:24 | Rating: 79.3
Phillip rivers is trash
He's 9-33 in his last 42 starts
And has 21 turnovers in the last 10 games of the season last year
On his 3rd coach
And it's still never his fault

Again man... Idk how many times I have to say it. Im not against the argument that he needs to be employed. Im saying a couple of things
1. WE DO NOT KNOW IF HE HAS GOTTEN OFFERS.
2. Worse QBs took weak deals. Sanchez and Glennon. They are both basically 1 year deals. Glennon got a ton of upfront money.
3. Again... we DONT KNOW IF HE GOT OFFERS OR NOT.
4. WAIT TILL THE FUCKING SEASON STARTS AND LOOK AT HIS DEAL IF HE GETS ONE.
Another point... stats are not the case you want to make for Kaep.
He played in a shit system and suffered bc of it.
See this if you want to know why stats give you no leverage: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/qb
Where is Kaep on this list? I''ll wait.
This is the type of shit that the GMs use to make decisions. If you think they use the same shit like NFL or ESPN stats you haven't been paying attention.
Men are supposed to be better for positions of power because they are less emotional, but the some of the menfolk around here bitch and moan and are more fragile than any woman I know. Y'all more petty, too.
I don't care what BGOL says I loved BLADE Trinity and Blade II was only a so so flick!!!!
And yeah I'm posting the trailer again because I know y'all don't like it.

I think men that get married in this country are straight up suckers. Wives provide nothing extra a girlfriend can't provide. In other words:
Your a fucking IDIOT... please kill your self
Don't be a reactionary dumbass. The board has plenty already. If you don't agree with my opinion let's here why I'm wrong.
This isn't a unpopular opinion. It's facts.
I think this is true to a certain extent now, but this was not always the case. When you had places like Tulsa/Black Wall Street burned to the ground by jealous whites whenever we did band together and progress, black people here "learned" culturally and collectively that white folks were only going to "let" us prosper only so much. Our history is one of literally burned and legislated out of progress we were making and I think some, at least in the past or among older people, have passed down the idea that we are powerless to a degree because of these outside forces.. This isn't true of everyone, we've always had fighters who put their lives on the line for rights and freedoms.
I've said this before but I actually think we can learn a lot from blacks from other countries. We tend generally, in my opinion, to have a permissive attitude where we seek permission to do things, where blacks from other countries where the leadership and authority is also black, have an entitlement mindset to ownership. That is in my (admittedly narrow) experience witnessing just general attitudes. I think what actually holds us back in this day and age is the lack of knowledge of how to do things, not a lack of willingness or desire. Also a lack of trust in others. I don't think we are powerless, but I don't think we know how to effectively wield the power that is available to us.
See my answer above but also "allow" sort of means we had a choice, when often there wasn't one or the choice was do it my way or die, leaving your children and family unprotected.
First, we were out numbered. Even now black folks are only 13% of the population.
Secondly this nation has never had black people on an equal footing with white folks. There were laws in place to where we couldn't be taught to read. After slavery was over, there were laws that prevented us from migrating to other states. Laws that prevented us from owning land. Even building plans for cities were designed to keep us crowded in together, away from white folks. In this day and age there are cities with transportation routes set up so that black folks are isolated and unable to easily commute to areas with better jobs. We were denied loans for businesses. Discriminated against in the work force. Even now as recently as a few years ago there was a lawsuit where black consumers were given higher interest rates for car loans, regardless of their credit scores. The attack on blackness isn't something that is in the past. It is real and ongoing to this day.
We have areas with lead in the drinking water leading to behavior and mental issues, anger, etc. Cities are zoned so that all the pollution is in poor or black areas.
The miracle is that we aren't in worse shape. White supremacy has done everything they can to hold black folks down, yet still we prosper.
They may be more devious, cunning and deceitful, I can't say "smarter". Smarter is relative. White folks get a lot of things done not because they are smart, but they have wealth to hire someone who is, or power to control someone who is and who can be made to work to their advantage.
When you are are a person of honor and integrity and used to dealing with like minded people, you are unprepared for the wolf in sheep's clothing.
Had Africans known the conditions that would be in store for black people in America, I'm sure things would have been different, but there was no way of knowing the mistreatment that would follow.
I love you dearly, but you are destined to marry and reproduce with a white woman. You are still in denial about it, but just watch and see. You may as well just eliminate all the stress and mental frustration and accept it now. If by chance you marry a black woman, you are going to cheat on her with a white woman. The writing is on the wall, you just can't see it yet.
Agreed. Cold-hearted folks.
So all the other planets are spheres but we are pancaked up in the sky, huh? The book of Job mentions in the bible that the earth is a sphere.
Poverty and racism are intertwined. Racism is used to keep black folks in poverty.
Kats are sleeping on Oddisee. I think people tend to get caught up in shallow shit and ignore Oddisee because he looks like a nerd.
