THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[spare partz]

Shaq under achieved?  Come on man.  Stop trying to stir the pot.  And trying to peg his weight issue, beef with kobe, and his short falls as a 'reason' why he underachieved is absurd.  You can call someone like Vin Baker and underachiever, but Shaq?  Not really.  Guys have skewed logic.  They expect every player to go undefeated and win all the accolades and stamp their name in the history books.

As far as I know, Shaq's been doing it.  He's had tremendous success on and off court w/ his rings, shows, Shaq Fu, Kazaam, Shaq n the Fool, Steel, Whopper, Crunch, TNT, comedy central, Sheriff, graduation, wrestling, etc.  He's actually achieved a lot more than what you'd expect.  Stuff like that doesn't fall on your lap.  It takes a certain type, and he's made the best of it.

Durant and Melo were snipers [emoji]128514[/emoji] [emoji]128514[/emoji]

Melo was in video game mode, FIBA 3pt line had him looking like the black Kyle Korver.

Gotta love it when dudes just parrot the blogs and the twitters and adopt other people's opinions as their own

Yes, because Bill Simmons was the first person to have these thoughts on Shaq. Now go away.

 

[Peep Game]

Kobe has beefed with every star player he has played with too

pau? nash?


kobe loves white people 

Nash was washed and Pau was beta, maybe even delta

You literally paraphrased those two pages and even used the same phrasing "left something on the table" and tried to pass it off as an original idea. But ok, I'm gone

New poll is silly. 92 team has the GOAT playing for them, of course they win.

New poll is silly. 92 team has the GOAT playing for them, of course they win.

but 80% of NT members were in a nutsack or still getting their diaper changed when that '92 team was playing. So I fully expect the '08 team to get a ton of votes.

Should be 90% for '92.

Serious question but why are you always trying to belittle someone's opinion if its different than yours and they are younger than you? Do you want everybody do only discuss basketball with you if they're in the same age range as you or if they agree with everything you say?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

i would've voted for the 04 team

I don't get old heads like this man. if you have a contrary opinion on past basketball occurrences it just has to be because you were too young to know anything about it.

Or something like that

good to see there are some level minded basketball fans who dont have the nostalgia shades on and voted for the '15 team
