Everyone in the comments on that site seems to dislike Ilyasova and really really really hate Brian Coangelo and I don't really understand why in either case.

You know the 48fps that peter jackson used to film the new hobbit movies that was just too high resolution and made all the props look like childrens toys and the sets flickering styrofoam? That's the only resolution that would properly pick up Lebron's incredible telekinetic reads and adjustments

drat. Now I wish they had some high frame rate cameras at NBA games. I know it's too expensive to do for every game but at least the Finals should be captured such.

you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Rick mentioned it, but a lot of this might be Rich Paul and management both being super cautious.

At least there was no false hope this time by blowing a double digit lead.

Lol I remember those times. I think after every loss that fat gently caress Eddy Curry would hold up his hands and remind everyone what the count of the win streak was. Not sure if any of this was saved on YouTube or is gone forever.

for any of you spurs or tim duncan fans, i found this video of old man timmy crushing the low block for like 10 minutes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYMpOrXQnac

goodness i miss that man.

on a different note, why did naterob leave the nba? did he get too high on himself and figured, "sure i can do football, no problem" or were there other reasons?

i mean, i just can't figure out why someone would pass up millions of dollars performing at the highest level for a given sport. was he bored? unsatisfied with his place in the league? why leave?

he was pretty heavily reliant on athleticism and tore his ACL. his shooting cratered before he sorta washed out of the league.

So I just realized that James Harden is having the greatest turnover season of ALL TIME, followed by Westbrook, followed by a '78 Pistol Pete. That's good company.

I have new found appreciation for Nate Rob now, this is a pretty class act right here. Seemed genuinely appreciative of playing in the D-League, where most other guys in his situation would have been angry about it.



From a technical standpoint, this may very well be the best pass that has ever been thrown on a basketball court. It really has everything, and only Lebron could have pulled it off - no-look, throwing from a weird angle across his body while moving in the opposite direction, thrown with alot of speed but with pinpoint accuracy to not only go between Wiggins legs (who was standing about 15 feet from Lebron at the time), but to hit a cutting Williams right on time for an easy lay-in. It's not the greatest pass ever, or even Lebron's greatest pass ever, but Jesus, it's technically brilliant.

That LeBron pass was great but if you think he purposely threw it through Wiggin's legs you're crazy. If Wiggins doesn't step toward the hoop it either goes around him or bounces off his leg. Still an amazing pass though.
