Do people actually categorize Duncan as an international player?

 

[mr marcus]

Thought he was from one of those islands that's a us territory

If mj didn't retire u dudes wouldn't even be dropping hakeems name. I see no reason why dirk isn't as revered

Ummm why does every announcer feel the need to apologize for saying Durantis the MVP over bron

 

[RayCashhhh]

OKC is literally running the same play over and over again, with mostly positive results

Westbrook takes the ball up the floor, and they feed it to Durant at the elbow. Ibaka sets a looping screen for Westbrook, then KD passes the ball back to him. KD sets a screen which forces a switch, with Calderon guarding him. Westbrook then passes to KD, who depending on the look either goes to the basket, or looks for an open passer. 

They just ran it again, except this time Durant just got an assist early in the play.

Yeaaaa no.

Hakeem's greatness has nothing to do with MJ, I'm not one of those idiots that equates rings with individual greatness, Hakeem is the most complete center to play the game in the modern era.

Tim Duncan is from the Virgin Islands. I've had this conversation in the past and the only way to have some consistency is to define an international player as someone who is not from the continental US. Trying to add all these exceptions to it only makes it easy to nitpick.

 

[awwsome]

antidope bingo.

 

[imlive365]

Yeah, no kidding.

lol i didnt mean it like that. i ment you can kinda put some blame of the struggles on him missing.

They should have added another big before the trade deadline.

durant got scared that Wade was gonna poster him

 

[wavycrocket]

What's been eating at me the longest is why Tim Duncan does not have an accent at all. I mean even when he was a freshman in college, he didnt have a VI accent. His whole family has an accent but him.

 Anybody familiar with VI can school me on that?

A. I'm going to assume you haven't watched Hakeem. Just go look up his stats across the board and think about that again. but even though Dirk is an all time scoring great, Hakeem was an all world scorer,
passer, rebounder, defender, blocker, (insert literally anything). He had 0 weaknesses and was dominant across the board.


B. everyone's a witness outchea

that he should be lol 

 

[had pants]

I hope the cats who argued me down for saying KD should see more facilitating opportunities on a consistent basis watched Shaq's comments on Westbrook/Durant's dynamic. He pretty much hit the nail on the head with the topic imo.

 

[$tacy]

that he should be lol 

Meh who cares, more Durant crossover to crazy jumpshot videos
