I went to the Casino last night in Edmonton and was playing blackjack with some kids. They had to be like 19-21. One Black, Middle Eastern, and Asian kid. I would never see anything like that in Louisiana! That’s why I love Canada! 🇨🇦
Steph Curry miss the Playoffs niggas turn into grief counselors. LeBron James get swept in the 2nd round by the world champs at 42 years old and be called a choker. Yall need therapy man
@NBA__Courtside He said beating Houston could enhance his GOAT case and he maybe might even consider Lebron as the GOAT (he already is) if he beats Houston without reeves and doncic😂😂 now if he beats the defending champs it does nothing???
Quick timeline of the takes surrounding Lakers-Rockets, with a prediction on tomorrow’s.
April 17th: “The Lakers have NO chance. They’ll be lucky not to be swept.”
April 20th: “If LeBron pulls this off I’ll call him the GOAT.”
April 22nd: “The Rockets are frauds!”
April 25th: “The Rockets are the dumbest team I’ve ever seen! Anyone would beat them!”
April 30th: “The Lakers are cooked & LeBron is exhausted. Rockets in 7.”
May 1st: “LeBron is going to blow a 3-0 lead & his GOAT case is over!”
May 2nd: “Yeah, the Lakers won, but it’s actually not that impressive, the Rockets were pretenders.”
I (admittedly) care about lists more than most, and I get irrationally upset at how many folks casually throw around “Top 10 All Time” and use it to refer to ~15 players.
So, inspired by Jokic, I made this. A nice tiered list of 22 NBA legends, and where each is in that debate.
Jokic losing a 3 vs. 6 seed first round series against an opponent who’s down their best player and another top five player is something they would’ve put LeBron in a gulag for in the 2010s. Just crazy
If you think nostalgia doesn’t exist in the NBA just remember that we glorify Michael Jordan having the flu in the playoffs, but we’ll forget very quickly that Joel Embiid is out there gutting it out with an open wound after just being in the hospital, and Cade is struggling to breathe at his full capacity after a recently collapsed lung. This generation is “soft” though, I guess…
I don’t think the problem was Yall having him #2 I think it was how Yall covered him and made up lie to make MJ look better when his resume speaks for itself
