Melo is still on the Knicks but people keep writing about the trade. Today in NY Sports News we're somehow getting Jabari Parker.

KD stared down LeBron and hit a three in his face during the OKC v. MIA finals too. I bet Metapod remembers it clear

I still hold the belief okc would have won the series if the ref would have called that blatant foul by LeBron in game 2

I would just like to make it very clear that I draw a strong distinction between "best" and "important".

You think KD is gonna care about that distinction??


Spacebump posted:

If KD read this forums and was more shook by a Bashez post to the point of putting his name on the shoes, I would wake up early to buy those shoes on release.

He's shook by poo poo like "KowarD" and "Cupcake" so yeah I think he would legit be rattled by a Bashez post. Look at those shoes man he literally can't let anything go.

If he's traded it's gonna be at the deadline. Melo or Houston are gonna blink first. Melo will waive his no trade clause for another team or Houston will improve their offer.

the question is whether KD would give bashez the high rating he deserves on his ranking of NBA G/V posters or if he would put him 50 spots too low in a totally unconvincing attempt to claim he didn't get shook

By p much any metric KD was better than Lebron in that series.


Even having It/The Look/Mamba mentality. With that Dagger he shot calmly with Lebron right in his loving face.


And actually probably not. Lebron wouldn't fit on that GSW team cleanly like KD was able to.

Lebron would require them to change their system. which is doable sure, but it'd be different.

In the 2k demo it had me play as the warriors vs cavs for the tutorial.

Bron was a relentless dunk machine.

Also I got to see Steph Klay and KD go a combined 6/32 for 3's

Looks like its a bit better from last year maybe. NBA Live looks legit too, though I didn't think the gameplay was as good in the demo.

EXCUSE ME their sociopathies overlap* but hanging in the air and making ridiculous split-second decisions especially during big games is a traditional MJ move.

*they're both to stay at the gym until 4am while on "vacation", but MJ's the type to burn the gym down afterwards so none of his potential future opponents be able to possibly use it

there's probably something important and telling in Kobe giving himself the Mamba label because he had no friends to give him a cool nickname vs. KD going through multiple advertising campaigns trying to deny his snake-like reputation, but I don't know what that something is

"As we have said from the beginning, the reports regarding Zach Randolph were false and misleading. After being accused of marijuana possession, all charges have been dropped," said Ray Brothers, Randolph's agent. "He was never arrested with any marijuana in or on his possession. He has been cited for delaying a police officer. It's defamatory for someone to say anything to the contrary."

Well, the original report of 2 lbs in a backpack came from TMZ so between them on one side and his agent on another I guess we don't really have a good source for this. The LAPD spokesman statement is vague. When's weed legal in CA again?
