Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

Winning is great

You guys are smokin lol

Getting paid millions ain't bad either, but personally if I were an NBA player, getting paid less one or two mil in order to be on a winning team would be worth it

 

[P C H]

I think winning is overrated in the context of player comparisons.

Right. The act of winning itself isn't overrated, and should be praised appropriately. But the value it has with respect to player comparisons is out of control.

 

[HIM]

Winning is overrated. Wow. I've always thought losing was underrated now that you mention it

 

[a-friend]

The term "stopping" when applied to elite players is always misleading. It means they lit you up on slightly worse percentages than they usually do

Containment is stopping when dealing with Elite Players

Someone like Kevin Durant had to go win a couple championships.

But if I was someone like Paul Millsap I'm following the money wherever it takes me

That ***** was on a team that won a Chip, he didn't win ****.
There once was a team who was going to win a Chanpionship, and Kevin joined.
Hanger-on *** chinuts having *** shower once a week and never after games *** booty hole smelling hardened socks because his feet don't get soap often enough old stinky behind the ears looking boy

Lmaooooo nah Cavs would've beat this Warriors team again imho

 

[hardens beard]

Perfectly explained why triple doubles are overrated.

 

[buc em]

Jesus I didn't say anything about Lillard and CJ's legacies and needing to win championships. You dudes went to the extreme on this one. All I said was if you're a fan of a player you obviously don't wanna see them on a non-playoff/fringe playoff team every damn year.

It's as simple as this

 

[tramericanjr]

him going back to chicago means he is around his son......

 

[buc em]

It's as simple as this

So Lillard and CJ = Paul Milsap?

 

[titang545]

him going back to chicago means he is around his son......

Good for him, but he ain't ever winning anything in Chicago, let alone going far in the playoffs. At least with the Cavs you can fly home and spend time with your son.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rose's agent putting in OT making sure he's rumored for every team. Props

 

[titang545]

Your chances of getting laid are way higher than winning a championship come on lol if push came to shove you could literally control that if you wanted.

You can't do that in the NBA at all.

Oh really you can't control winning in the NBA?

Sacramento fans say otherwise when they played the Lakers that year.

Yeah I get what you mean it is way easier to get laid than win a ring, I will say JjjjaVale McGee almost disproved that statement.

Good morning, James Harden took a team who's 2nd and 3rd leader in minutes was Ariza and Motiejunas to 56 wins and the WCF

 

[equality]

There are so many factors and moving parts outside of a player's immediate control it's ridiculous to judge them solely based on whether or not they won a ring.

Context is everything.

 

[antidope]

So Lillard and CJ = Paul Milsap?

Sure why not. The point still remains that less than one percent of NBA players are truly judged by the ridiculous notion that they must win a championship in order to have their career validated.

 

[Moheezy]

How do I get the old nt back?

Here you go sir.

 

[Moheezy]

If Rose goes back to the Bulls, this will be the first reverse rebuild we will be witnessing.

 

[titang545]

If Rose goes back to the Bulls, this will be the first reverse rebuild we will be witnessing.

They are regressing or digressing if you are left brain dominant.

I hate losing, give me 50 mill to lose though, and i'd be 100% for it. Ring chase after my prime if I have to.
