Spacebump posted:How many future hall of famers are on that roster/coaching staff? Well Parker, Ginobili, Gasol, and Pop are locks. Kawhi's probably getting there and Aldridge may if they win a title, which they won't. I'm just going to assume Becky Hammon is gonna make it too. So I'm going with 7.

It's official. Rajon Rondo has notched his first twenty point game as a Bull.Away all Goats posted:Also Ximo got shut down again, says hes giving it up for good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l87Ddn-_CQI Bashez posted:Look at that team in first place with only one all star and MVP.

Kawhi has a Finals MVP he's going to the hall if he retires today also why the hell hasn't he been on Team USA yet was he injured in 2016 or something

Zogo posted:In the preseason poll only eight people selected the Spurs to finish #1. Was there ranking in the poll? Did people predict Lil B's inability to remove his own Kevin Durant Curse? I mean, Lil B isn't exactly an ancient and learned wizard, and just because he managed to cast a curse in a fit of pique doesn't mean he has the requisite understanding and power within the spirit realm to remove such a resounding hex. In retrospect the injury should've been obvious to any clear-eyed basketball and magic analyst, but I think most people assumed something like "they'll finish second unless Steph Curry gets injured or something"

I've got a Popovichian obsession with wine and cursing at people which it turns out does not make you an elite professional athlete or coach still my favorite "pure" Pop moment of the last few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFFvShURQ5k you can tell that the pro Spurs organization runs off of a circular system of sadism from Tony trying to hide his "You're so hosed" smile

Dejan Bimble posted:This is a kind of familiar plot if you ever watched entourage. He needed the capital, or wanted the big bonus offered by ISE, and planned to leave once his contract was up, and take most of his client list with him, but not personally since that would probably break contractual agreements, and instead have them sign with his personal corporation with an agent under his employ. The cap is like 3%, but every athlete I've asked said they take home like 50%, after taxes and fees. these dudes in suits got a sweet con going. Lebron kinda proves that pretty much anyone can do these guys jobs.

Personally I'm glad to see the Bulls and Lakers crash and burn, after the insufferable 80's, 90's and 2000's, Kobe, Jordan. Shaq, Magic, etc - also gently caress my dumb rear end team for drafting Sam Bowie.

Femur posted:The cap is like 3%, but every athlete I've asked said they take home like 50%, after taxes and fees. Athletes, not being corporations have to pay he top tax rate, plus top state/city rates wherever they play, that gets you into the 40 somethings, 3% on top of that gets you 50. I don't think they mean agents get 50% of their net pay after that??? But Lebron was right to build his own agency, it's such a clever way to get a constant trickle of money and eventually make enough to buy a team. It's another part of why I think the banana boat crew colluded with the owners but I guess I'm in the minority

Him playing pf is a recent change in his career and the nba has changed since then where athletic switchers are better than Carlos boozer scoring in the post.

I like this version of Ricky Rubio. He should play like that for the rest of his career imo. Food for thought, Ricky! Also, Charlotte is a tire fire.

Having a crazy dad that wants to fulfill his sports dreams through his sons is more important than genetics, really, that's why there's never been any father/ son all stars. Someone like Dell Curry, who was close enough to stardom, is an ideal situation.

Not in basketball maybe but in other sports you've got Barry/Bobby Bonds, Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr., Howie and Chris Long, and surely others I'm forgetting. Also it's too early to say but Manute Bol's kid is a major NCAA prospect at the moment

Not sure why everyone is hating on Lavar Ball. Sounds like he read the Art of the Deal and is putting it into practice. I bet you Cuban, Dolan, Gilbert and Ballmer are all taking notes about how the Ball kids have go getter-ism, winnerism and entrepeneurialism in their genetics.

I think the Nurkic trade is going to cost the Timberwolves the 8th seed. The Wolves are on absolute fire right now with a strong win streak beating some very good teams, but the Nuggets ALSO decided to catch fire. The 8,9,10 in the West is pretty exciting right now.
