2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[spiderjericho]

MJ was hyper competitive. But you knew he drank, smoke cigars, partied, etc. He “appears” more human than Kobe. Kobe was hyper obsessed. B Ball seemed to be his life.

We never got to see his second act. RIP.

 

[shogun]

Kobe was always a mean *** teammate

He was pretty obsessive about emulating MJ

Yeah, seemed like he felt he needed to copy Mike in that way as well.

Can't be summer without a Rico Hines run vid with a 13 min pep talk at the start

Kobe also seemed to show a lot more warmth and humanity later in life though. Not to paint Mike out to be some villain, but older Kobe seemed a little less self obsessed than MJ to me. Like he really wanted to be a part of other people’s lives.

Looks like the 11s to me

Ya'll let this man drag ya'll into a Steph vs CP3 debate

Even to me that's crazy.

we still debating Steph and Cp0
even though, that debate was done once Chef won a chip and MVP

Curry is on another level, but CP3 is almost automatic whenever he gets a open jumper.

The problem has always been that he doesn’t take it enough

That's fair.

“When he gets an open jumper” One of the analytics guys would need to take a look but even a casual glance at the percentages will tell you it’s not even close. Steph has shot 44% for his career while CP3 has shot over 40% from deep 4 times in 16 years.

Then account for volume. CP’s most prolific season was 144 3PM at 38%. Steph’s LEAST prolific season was 151 3PM at 44%.

Maybe CP just needs to get open more

 

[rbk93]

No one can do the **** Curry does on the court. All I'm saying is CP3 is a knock down shooter.

 

[finessence]

Chris Paul DEFINITELY can shoot with the best of them. But like Nash and Stockton, he never shot ENOUGH. It was taboo back in those days except for AI... who eventually was listed as a SG and Snow and McKie were labeled as the PGs...

 

[pums]

Chris Paul really had no flaws despite being short . A real complete PG.

Good luck to Freddy and those in the Gulf.

 

[art vandelay]

Cool. I hope his feets and joints hold up, a lot of the extra big guys I saw playing when I was growing up didn’t hold up, like George Muresan, or later Yao Ming. Would he have the speed to defend smaller faster big guys? Serious question.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Good luck to Freddy and those in the Gulf.

I yelled. New pupper got spooked

 

[Based Jesus]

The replies to this are so disappointing
