2010-2011 NBA Season Thread

[Kaslo]

After game 1 of OKC series Dirk couldn't buy a foul.

wut?

[Mizango]

If that works out, Cleveland should take Derrick Williams first, that way they can play Irving less since he'll probably be another Greg Oden.

Greg Oden is dope son, dont hate. I hope the Bobcats sign him and he beasts out. Haters gonna hate.

Rip is pretty washed up if you ask me

No shit. Why not just trade and get the Microwave if we're going that route.

[Mizango]

wut?

See? Niggas shoots 24 free throws but cant buy a call? Cmon son. Mad homerism but yall see why I flex on him so ferociously now? I mean how do you even play that card with a straight face?

[tyven]

i believe he was referring to every other game besides that one, babe

[Mizango]

Oh my b. You mean the games where he only shot 18?

[Demosthenes11]

like "haters gonna hate," "dallas fans gonna cry"

[Man0warr]

The last 2 games Dirk was getting butt raped by Collison's hands the entire game and mauled going to the hoop and wasn't getting the same calls Westbrook/Durant were.

I didn't bring it up though, Kaslo did. Not gonna complain about officiating after a win.

How Soon They Forget: An Open Letter to Scottie Pippen

Dear Scottie,

I have nothing but respect for you my friend as an athlete and knowledgeable basketball mind. But you are way off in your assessment of who is the greatest player of all time and the greatest scorer of all time. Your comments are off because of your limited perspective. You obviously never saw Wilt Chamberlain play who undoubtedly was the greatest scorer this game has ever known. When did MJ ever average 50.4 points per game plus 25.7 rebounds? (Wilt in the 1962 season when blocked shot statistics were not kept). We will never accurately know how many shots Wilt blocked. Oh, by the way in 1967 and 68, Wilt was a league leader in assists. Did MJ ever score 100 points in a game? How many times did MJ score more than 60 points in a game? MJ led the league in scoring in consecutive seasons for 10 years but he did this in an NBA that eventually expanded into 30 teams vs. when Wilt played and there were only 8 teams.

Every team had the opportunity to amass a solid nucleus. Only the cream of the basketball world got to play then. So MJ has to be appraised in perspective. His incredible athletic ability, charisma and leadership on the court helped to make basketball popular around the world -- no question about that. But in terms of greatness, MJ has to take a backseat to The Stilt.

In terms of winning, Michael excelled as both an emotional and scoring leader but Bill Russell’s Celtics won eight consecutive NBA Championships. Bill's rebounding average per game is over 22.5 lifetime, MJs best rebounding years was eight per game (1989). But we will never know exactly how many shots Bill Russell blocked because again, they never kept that statistic while he played. However, if you ask anybody that played against Russell, they will just roll their eyes and say he blocked all the shots he wanted to block in the crucial moments of a game.

Bill played on a total of 11 championship teams and as you very well know, Scottie, the ring is the thing, and everything else is just statistics. So I would advise you to do a little homework before crowning Michael or LeBron with the title of best ever. As dominant as he is, LeBron has yet to win a championship. I must say that it looks like Miami has finally put the team together that will change that circumstance. Its my hope that today’s players get a better perspective on exactly what has been done in this league in the days of yore.

Affectionately,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
NBA’s All-Time Leading Scorer

Scottie got destroyed

[Rhinox]

Scottie got destroyed

So Kareem is just as dumb as scottie?

ok

[Andalusian girls]

Jordan won more than Wilt and was the best player on both ends of the floor for most of his career while Bill was always the second or third option on his own team. Michael is the GOAT.

and lol at Kareem saying a 7 ft 1 in 275 pound Wilt dunking on 6 ft 7 in 220 pound white boys in the 60s proves his level of competition was higher because there were fewer teams.

[Akiyama]

I find it to be really, really hard to compare players of now to players from 40-50 years ago.. especially in basketball. Hell, I find it hard to judge players now to players from the 90s. Yeah, Wilt put up 50+ a game and averaged 25 boards a game.. but basketball was just so damn different back then.

[Rhinox]

@darrenrovell: 3 hrs til Finals & 800 tix still avail to G1 in Miami. Unbelievable.

Fucking miami is trolling me hard.

Kareem is salty as hell hes pissed that Magic is getting a statue at staples before him.


what he really wanted to say is hes the GOAT but he already gotten enough shit for complaining about magics statute.

[Heavencloud]

So Kareem is just as dumb as scottie?

ok

They're both retarded, it's kinda strange that either even mentions it though. MJ is the goat and you can't compare players from different eras. I guess he probably thinks he should be in the discussion too, lol.

[Heavencloud]

Fucking miami is trolling me hard.

I hope that's a troll lolll although fuck spending hundreds of dollars for shit seats

[archibaldcrane]

Miami is a fucking terrible sports town, Lebron can't change that.

[Kaslo]

Miami is a fucking terrible sports town, Lebron can't change that.
