Lebron took that 2007 cavs team to the finals basically by himself which makes him the best ever by default even though they got stomped by the spurs.

I know it's the easiest Hall but I think Chauncey needed one more ring to get in without a long delay. He'll certainly have to wait longer than the likes of Kidd and Nash at his position.

Ben's peak was short but it was also insane so yeah he's a definite inductee.

I looked up Rasheed Wallace's stats and I guess I forgot he kind of fell off toward the end because he was really good for a couple years.

I remember Ben Wallace missed two dunks in a row in a playoff game for the Cavs. Remember when the Cavs said "hey LeBron we'll build a team around you" and he got old Shaq, old Ben Wallace and Mo Williams?

roundmidnight posted:

Real talk: Dark Twisted Fantasy was so supremely overrated and the reaction of the critical establishment to an exceedingly okay album was the thing that led Kanye down the path of thinking that he was a genius and believing he could do no wrong which has meant six years of increasingly bad music, culminating in the true piece of poo poo that was Life of Pablo, the musical equivalent of Kobe's last NBA game.

Kanye West is Kobe Bryant: not as good as either he or the basic hypebeasts who worship him think he is.

All his albums are classics, and MBDTF allowed him to make Yeezus aka the best album of all time.

The best halftime show I saw was 10 very small children, maybe 3rd graders, from the local area playing a 5 minute game of full court basketball with the regulation rims. The crowd cheered about as loud for the kids as they did for the pros, agonizing over every missed shot by both teams and absolutely erupted when one of the kids finally scored to make it 2-0, which ended up being the final score for the game.

That sounds even better than kids vs. mascots with the mascots physically clowning on them.

How much arguing about MVPs would go away if they just called it "Best Player Award" and we didn't have to endure endless semantic arguments about what "valuable" means.

Also if they're gonna award it after the playoffs it should include playoffs OR they should make a separate Playoffs MVP award.

Congrats, you have just described why the NBA Awards Show is now a real thing.

I only support basketball owners and GMs who are incredibly stupid but through sheer luck and obvious tanking get one of the best players of all time when then leaves for four years and then they get 3 #1 overall picks because they didn't bother to surround that player with any talent and then one of those #1 overall picks ends up in the D-League but it doesn't matter because the best player of all time felt bad about hurting his image so he came back to the hometown team and recruited superstars and old men who can still play and took his team to two championships in a row, losing one when the other two all stars were hurt, and winning the second in the greatest game 7 of all time, and may go to a third this year too.

That's my thoughts on basketball.
