@iaddiebrown@LegionHoops “At his age” and “when not injured” are massive qualifiers that support what I was saying. Not even saying that super teams are what they were. I agree that they aren’t, but there is just a deep divide between the 2016-2019 Warriors and whatever this Clippers team is.
@iaddiebrown@LegionHoops They had 2 top 5 players paired together in their prime with 2 other all-stars also in their prime. 😂 Putting names together on a team well after these guys’ prime is not the same thing. That’s why it’s not working now.
@playoffzinzy @BrickCenter_ Tons of pick-up games over the years where the trash talk 1) turned personal and / or 2) resulted in a scrap. So honestly, yeah, you should always be ready for someone who will take it personally
@Noel_Arc It always felt wrong that @andyroddick wasn’t in this pic, especially since he qualified over Soderling. I realize it doesn’t actually matter, but when people look back at this pic and remember a peak era in competitive tennis, I hope they remember my guy, too.
@camiqueenofclay@jazuletaj@AnnaK_4ever Lol, that is one more than any of Sinner or Alcaraz’s rivals. And to say “it was basically Federer and Nadal” is an egregious simplification. From ‘08-onward, there were 3 major champions in almost every year until 2021, Inc. non-big 3 competitors. So if your argument is that
@ClutchPoints Lmao “when the lights hit in the playoffs, the numbers dipped again”. Top 3 contributor vs the Clips in just 5 games, including 16/5/5 and 5 steals in 25 min of game 7. It’s cool how you guys wait until people forget to say whatever suits your agenda. Fake ahh ball account.
@camiqueenofclay@jazuletaj@AnnaK_4ever lol, ok? We’re approaching year 3 of the status quo btw so hardly “just”. Not one player looks capable of doing what Safin did atm, so we’ll hopefully have the arrival of their Novak soon, lest the same one has to play into his 40’s to give them competition.
@yellowProst@AnnaK_4ever I also think it’s just funny how obtuse everyone is about the comment. People are refuting this exact scenario instead of accepting the broader implication, which is that the depth of field was simply greater.
@camiqueenofclay@jazuletaj@AnnaK_4ever Safin took Fed’s chain at OZ in the middle of his reign. Novak came on by ‘08, Del Po in ‘09, Murray in the majors by ‘12, Stanimal in ‘14. The closest to this level of pure dominance there’s been was Fed/Rafa ‘04-‘07. After that, there were always at least 3 or so contenders.
