This FA class doesn't even seem great for reloading. I wonder who pat has in mind.

 

[do work son]

The score was 31-41, then the rockets went on a 17-0 run and literally never looked back

 

[angliatzj]

dieng with a 20-20? 

 

[angliatzj]

[awwsome]

Gorgui

 

[rook]

[had pants]

 

[ballinsam23]

Dieng showed me enough the last 3 games to make Pek expendable.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kd is probably more of a freak athlete than lebron

^^^Whoa now, let's not get too ahead of ourselves there

This is a horrible way to end the quarter for the Wiz. We had all the momentum, then we gave up rebounds and careless turnovers.

 

[pepperjackchees]

I always thought Dieng would turn out like Bismac Biyombo. Maybe I was mistaken

I had a feeling he could be pretty good at lville. He has great skill for a big actually. Vision, touch, all that. Just needs PT

I don't think it's far fetched at all.... he's taller, younger and his shot, handle and agility are all better. I don't know how tall he is but 9 times outta 10 he is the tallest man on the court, it is insane for him to have his type of agility at that height. His handle reminds a lot of Jamal crawford

 

[RayCashhhh]

Wall putting the team on his back right now, but the Blazers just can't miss

Eh, I consider most of what you mentioned as skills if anything. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE KD, but LeBron is a once-in-a-lifetime athlete. He makes it look too easy out there. I honestly believe that if he wanted to he could've average 30 ppg each season from like 05 to 2017. He's that athletically superior to 95% of the league

 

[mister friendly]

 k love coolin

3rd best power forward in the NBA

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bro kd is a once in a lifetime athlete too . Only thing bron has over him is strength. Combine Kg, crawford and curry and you get Durant. Seriously watch this vid and tell me you don't make the :x face every 15 seconds

 

[victor page]

The important thing about KD to remember is that he seems to improve SOMETHING every year.

To see how far his handle has come is scary. He puts that much work into his game. Years ago, people didn't think he'd be this good of a facilitator either.

At 25...you gotta wonder what's next. If prime years start at 27...and he's doing this now...we haven't seen anything yet.

 

[mister friendly]

Yep

KD at 25> >Lebron at 25

 

[RayCashhhh]

That's the scary thing about KD. At just twenty five he's the best player in the world depending on who you ask (he is if you ask me, Bron just the better athlete). I can see KD putting up 30-7-8 numbers for the next 5-6 years. 

The main reason why I say LeBron is the better athlete is because he's one of the top six or seven fastest players in the L, top 5 most explosive, and strong as a mug. KD isn't quite in his range as far as those categories go.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kd is fast, explosive, agile and 7 foot tall. think about guys his height like dwight etc and the athletic advantages he has over them. He's starting to get yoked too but I think his arms are too long to really add much more strength. As much of a video game athlete bron is kd is right there. I think the old school NBA live games wouldn't even let you create a player like kd

 

[victor page]

Honestly...Lebron doesn't have a single glaring weakness in his game. At times we've all questioned certain things here and there but he pretty much shut all of that up. He's not the shooter that KD is and you'd much rather have him beat you taking a jumper than going to the cup....but he'll still burn you from deep at any given moment. 

That combination of size, speed, strength, and basketball savvy is something we've never seen before.

He is the wing version of what Shaq was when he came to the league.

Free throws?
