someone tell tatum winning the finals is hard lmao, still super young but needs some more reps i guess

next year will be interesting – both tatum and booker(!) gotta decide if they're gonna be paul georges OR kobes, only killers win championships

happy for steph, he cemented his legacy tonite. dude changed the game, give him his props

Both of them attempting to be Kobe's protege is so cringe.

[close]

Not as cringe as everyone pretending Kobe was a sweetheart prince just because he had an untimely death

Let’s not forget that
- Kobe gave himself his own nickname
- Kobe snitched on Shaq to the cops when he got arrested for RAPE (which is worse snitching than DAngelo Russell ever did)
- His defense lawyers doxxed his accuser and acted pretty aggressively in order to force a settlement.   

     Which one of these is Mamba Mentality?

also he’s not from philly he’s from lower merion which is like where the comcast execs and shit live

Jordan Poole has plenty of confidence launching all those 3s.

The new movie Hustle on Netflix is an after school special however enjoyable. Pretty impressive how many cameos are in it

[DaleSr]

Anyone looking forward to the draft? I know a few of you guys have teams with top picks. Is the slender boy too slender for the nba? Is paolo really good or another t rex armed Julius Randle? Will jabari and his wet ass jumper go #1? Will Sacramento trade their pick to someone else?

Also in other news, kyrie Irving continues to make more problems for himself and his current team as the nets and he have "reached an impasse". I keep seeing rumors that he's connected to the clippers, which i say "no fucking thanks" to

[Atiba Applebum]

I hope he goes to the Clippers bc I hate the clippers with a passion

My theory on Kyrie is that he is super jealous of Kaepernick in that CK was able to stand up for something and be persecuted for his righteous stance.   I think Kyrie has been trying to be a Kaepernick, a Tommie Smith/John Carlos, a Muhammad Ali not going to Vietnam but has been left with some less than ideal causes to take up

[DaleSr]

I hope he goes to the Lakers so they can just have a revolving door of overpriced and stubborn point guards

We/they got lucky with Shroeder being too stubborn to get overpriced

[PAWL]

I think slenderboi is far too slender and will b bust.

I cut onion for him

He's no wembanyama. I'm excited for chaos day. Shit is gonna get weird today. We already had Jerami grant go to Portland

[BallDontLie]

I do kind of like Chet’s jumper/range, but yeah imagine him getting posted up or Sent to the floor. That height plus skinnyboi frame. Asking for trouble. Seen it with Yao.


Seems like the top 4 are up in the air… actually kind of interested in watching lol

[exlurker]

Just checking in before the Hox scramble the whole squad. I'm gonna still wear my John Collins dunking on Embiid shirt even if he leaves.

[DaleSr]

As much as it would sadden me to lose the nard dog, the idea of Davion or De'Aaron being available through kangz foolishness is very enticing. This first round is going to be insane, so many teams trying to trade their picks

early yao? cuz prime yao was thicc

[BallDontLie]

Ya… although early YAO was pretty damn good. He put on mass, but his feet and knees were fcked.

He had this turn around jumper tho *chefs kiss*

How stoked are you that jabari slid to you

[BallDontLie]

Shocked and stoked! I do feel for Jabari i think Orlando told him he’d go #1…

I’m glad Chet didn’t fall to 3… got Tari Eason at 17. Defense just got WAY better. Might actually go to a few games this year lol


Just thought of how Brooklyn gave up all of those picks for like a half season of Harden lol

[Atiba Applebum]

Started the day thinking the lakers wanted Shaq’s son, ended up with Pippen’s son and a guy I was afraid was Doug Christie’s son (I hated that Kings era, obviously)

And you got tyty Washington you slick SOBs

Clippers got a project big, probably won't see the floor

John wall is a clipper  i can't wait to see him and pg play together

[PAWL]

I'm glad we got deanthony melton and didnt trade for eric gordon old headass.

Low key great pickup for you guys. I've always been a fan of melton and remembered wanting the clips to draft him. He takes great care of the ball

yezzzzzir or PJ Tuckers skeleton

John wall is a clipper  i can't wait to see him and pg play together

super curious to see how he looks, dude hasn't played in a real game in like 3 years(!). and will he come off the bench behind reggie? might be a thing

clippers roster pretty wild, plus they still have the ability to flip marcus morris/luke kenard into another piece. hopefully the clips stay healthy next year, everyone been waiting to see what they can do at full strength

Which was probably best. he’s completely healthy….

Wall could’ve raised all kinds of hell or been a locker room pain. But did what was asked. This was best for both sides. Now he can play in meaningful basketball games vs stuck in a rebuild…

@PAWL 

Come on, don’t you want to see this after EVERY Eric Gordon drive? Lol

[huggs]

true – i meant locker room thing, like a problem if wall will want/expect to start and reggie is like "nah". if he looks good could be swell to have wall off the bench vs second units, more all-star type vets should do that when ring chasing

anyway maybe they'll duke it out in training camp for the starting spot, old school style lmao

I’ll be so depressed if the clippers ever make it to a finals, let alone win it.   

[exlurker]

The Clippers are a gambler's nightmare. They could dominate the league or half their roster might get grievously injured. Balmer's heart might explode on the sidelines. Kawaii could retire and move out into the woods. The entire spectrum is possible.

[exlurker]

uh not to overreact but Dejounte Murray on the Hox without giving up John Collins or OO = league actually fucked
