@TheHoopHerald Results speak for themselves…. Brunson is in the NBA finals… Melo only won one playoff series EVER, never even made it to a conference finals…
@_iamlougotti CP3 and Nash never even played in a finals…. So they are the only 2 options. All other are champs or carried their team to the finals, or both.
My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.
Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.
Great guy, I'm happy for him.
But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.
What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.
Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.
Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.
Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.
Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.
Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.
Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.
-----------------
When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.
Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.
@MambaArchives There’s only one defensive liability player here (Curry…). He’s great but the only one dimensional player here… Shaq is second for the same reason. All other do so many things besides scoring and or scoring and rebounding (Shaq).
@FastbreakHoops5 Compare those teams to Kobe’s, Lebrons Miami, etc. there was barely one other all star (young Pippen), late Duncan won with Manu, Parker, Bowen… good players, not superstars. Pairing MJ and a Prime Duncan is something the NBA never saw. Jordan was unguardabke being the sole opti
@FastbreakHoops5 Is you think anybody is beating a prime Jordan with a Prime Duncan, you are crazy… Jordan never played with a most double team big (Kobe did), Jordan would thrive even more…
@FastbreakHoops5 Jordan never had that privilege (not even remotely close) and still had 6 chips, never went to game 7. Plugging the best ever PF in history is crazy… you could argue 9 chips and it wouldn’t sound crazy. Jordan and Olajuwon carried some lame teams (93 bulls, 94 Rockets)…
@FastbreakHoops5 People had to double Shaq all the time. Hence Lakers 3 peat as it made you choose between leaving shooter and Kobe alone, or getting killed by Shaq one on one (hence fouling Shaq was usually the best option). A system where the option was Duncan one on one or Jordan, is worst.
@VinnysCorner1 Chris Paul and Carmelo do not deserve to be here. They never made it to a finals… Carmelo not even a conference finals (ever), so please take him off this list.
@BBGreatMoments The people cutting Pedro know nothing about baseball. In his prime, there no one even close…. He’s the best ever in the worst time ever (for pitchers) and still the best, by far. Cmon
@HawkEmDownChris Chris Paul is way too high… AI, Kidd both carried mediocre teams to the Finals being PG, one with scoring and the other with passing. Those two are better than CP and Westbrook. Better defense, more winning by themselves.
