GOAT all star lineups edition
>2016
>Not Picking GOATbe
You detest history
>sucking off Kobe just because he is retiring in a few months
Top lel
>>64622794
are those the starters you want or just players you'd like to see on each team
>mike conley
>>64622794
>not picking Rondo
>>64622849
>Not giving Kobe one last shining moment in the All Star Game to respect one of the greatest players of all time
It's a meaningless game desu, might as well let a legend play, take up minutes that would go to other players on competitive teams so they can stay fresh
>>64622849
Has there ever been a player like kobe that was able to cuck an entire country into thinking he's the goat?
>>64622852
>Not wanting Conley as a starter
He's the best pure pg in the league, next to Rondo and Paul, he's earned it
>>64622942
>He's the best pure pg in the league,
>less than 6 assists per game
Homie I got some bad news for you
>>64622825
I really only ever listened to 36 chambers, liquid swords, and brookln zoo desu
new york rap is terribly boring to me desu..I don't even really listen to rap other than future and thugger anymore
>how many people voted for Curry and got their vote btfo?
>>64622997
>Stats
>Meaning anything as a pg
He's a goat defender, runs a tough offense that doesn't shoot meme shots after 10 seconds. Most big stat pgs are pacebabbies
>>64623033
conley has never been and will never be a top 5 PG. memphis' shit offense has never done anything and will never do anything important
>>64623012
I would say souther rap is def the best out rn, migos, thugger, future, Gucci mane are all real good. Midwest is p good too
New York was great in the 90s but not many good new York rapper out rn beside maybe ratking
>>64623033
>muh defense
>Muh pace
>15/6 on 41% shooting
Best pg of all time right here
>>64623103
>Gotten further in the playoffs than Chris Paul
>Been to as many conference finals as Curry and Westbrook
>Actually knows how to defend and run an offense that isn't just shooting 3s
>>64623142
yeah I've been into mostly southern rap since I was a kid (memphis, atlanta, Houston) still waiting on Gucci to get free desu
I'm 24 now and my music tastes are getting fixed, new rap is boring af
>tfw knicks fan
will we ever be good constantly
also no dwight howard please
jennings ill take
>>64623259
>Ginobili on west team
My sides gone to orbit, every time.
>>64623159
>Actually knows how to defend and run an offense
>20th in ppg
Please continue homie
>>64623234
There's a bunch of other genres that are good desu. Also memphis hip hop is great
I listen to a lot of other shit just listening to rap gets boring
Lakers 2016-17 lineup
Russell/Sweet Lou
Clarkson/Swaggy P
Durant/lolwhocares
Randle/Bass
Horford/Hibbert
Will anyone stop us?
>>64623318
Get rid of Swaggy P because he's human garbage
>>64623388
Swaggy P is LA personified

*my rap tastes are fixed
is what I meant to say
just rap is terrible it's shit tier. I listen to a lot of emo and bowie
>>64623444
>>64622902
>let a legend play
he's gonna shoot like 20% and miss over 20 shots
i hope he tears his acl, mcl, snaps both his ankles, tears his shoulder blade, and shatters both knee caps when he lands. then, I hope curry doesn't see him on the ground and trips over him and snaps his neck
>>64623033
wall, cp3, westbrook, rondo, and even fucking bledsoe are better. you probably fucking think z-bo is a fucking top 5 pf lmao

CAP THIS POST, IT WILL HAPPEN.
>>64623669
No need to cap, they gave the MVP to an aidetic guy out of form once.
>>64623669
well all-star MVP is fan voted so yeah, if the west win, then Kobe is guarrenteed MVP regardless of stats
>>64623667

always shoot the three, teach the kids to shoot 3 pointers.
Tell them whenever they feel contact, to exaggerate the contact.
buy them mouth guards, and ankle protectors.
pretty much all you need.
why isnt sp a bigger fan of Brook lopez? He basically a taller athletic version of most people on the website. He reads and draws both /a/ and /co/ things, acts autistic, a huge geek/nerd and I bet he has been on this site before
>>64625255
still can't tell if you're serious, but you replied
learning phrases will help you understand. even if you're just pretending to like basketball for someone else, every once in a while yelling out a technical phrase during a game might impress your sports friends/kids

Are you thinking of Robin? I know Robin goes to comic-con and acts autistic, but Brook too?
Don't lose to the Boston Coons.
THANK YOU NEST.

>>64629094
>no Kobe Bean
to the trash it goes, someone hang this heretic for committing heresy.
>>64629094
Replace Irving with Lowry and Love with George and you're right
But the west is solid, Curry would shit up the game and make it so the other 4 guys in the offense would be useless. Paul is a distributer first and foremost
>rockets are 6-0 against the spurs since 2013
What's their secret?
>>64629189
That stat doesn't sound right. Even so, the Rocket used to play fast, which was really tough for the ancient Spurs. Same reason Clippers are kryptonite for them.
oh, lin cut his hair. looks much better now.
the magic are shit familia
>>64629189
Spurs beat them just last April and were 2-1 in the season series. little brother team getting up for a much better team desu
>>64629260

They went 6-0, then the spurs won 3 and then the rockets won one
Still the rockets are pretty damn good against the spurs

You'd fucking hope they'd be better than the fucking 8th seed if they had that lineup senpai
Damn am I the only one who put Anthony Davis in their all star line up in this thread

>>64631820
Da faq?
What I miss?
Would you vote in Curry over Harden+Westbrook as the starting guards for the West? I don't think I would.
>>64633000
Over Harden yes.
Are you retarded? The Cockshits fucking suck because of Harden and he got his coach fired
>>64633096
For the All Star Game? Harden is great for entertainment. Curry can't even dunk in a game.
>>64630521
>Blake had back to back triple doubles in the playoffs
>1 without CP3
>>64633182
If we are basing it on entertainment value then i would still pick Curry just to see how many 3s he can chuck in and break a record of some sort. Harden is boring as shit even when he dunks. Nothing spectacular about his game at all.
Also if it was purely based on entertainment i wouldn't vote in Spurs players, Andre Drummond, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and many other people.
>>64633237
Blake is out with injuries and Clippers are winning games now.
>>64633255
>No Kyrie
>For an entertaining ASG
Are you joking m8, he's one of the most entertaining players in the league. He won MVP of the ASG even
>>64633255
>Also if it was purely based on entertainment i wouldn't vote in ... Kyrie Irving
I ain't even Cavs but man Kyrie's great to watch - he's got the nicest handles in the league, finishes crazy layups, is lights out from downtown - what more do you want?
>>64633182
>current poster child of the NBA
>not great for entertainment
literally everyone is on his dick m8, Curry not being in the starting lineup or even on the western team, you're going piss off A LOT of potential attendees and viewers.
>>64633367
Well if thats the case then Curry would easily be a great entertaining all-star since he's the same as Kyrie except better.
remember when people were laughing that the rockets barely beat the spurs? where are those people now?
>Caring about the all-star game voting
what you should care about are the all-nba teams
all-star voting is just a popularity contest
>>64633488
Curry and Iggy are starting tonight.
Barnes, Ezeli, McAdoo, Barbosa, and Rush are out.
>>64633471
And the all-star games themselves are also pretty shit these days. Just retarded alley-oops all over the place. Makes you wish Metta World Peace would get an ASG appearance just so he can fuck someone's shit up.
>>64633766
>Curry is starting
And there goes any hope of a result. Not that there was much to begin with. Only another Will Barton spanking to look forward to hopefully.
>>64633882
With McAdoo out as well, Speights is gonna get minutes out of the ass, so Denver's got a solid shot.
>>64633967
I can't believe Speights even gets minutes nowadays, all he does is shoot them out of games. Unfortunately the Nugs have his clone in Darrell Arthur, but they don't give him any more than 5 or so minutes to destroy their own team.
>It's a Draymond Green shoots 7 3-pointers kinda night
>>64633446
kyrie has slightly better handles but you're pretty much right
>cockshits
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
>>64634184
I am starting to think Speights has some dirt on Walton. Ah well, if they continue like this, not even Speights could screw this up.
Nuggets are shook, Draymond is hot as fuck. This could get messy.
>Denver

>>64634495
>Gallo misses two free throws in a row
FUCK
>>64634448
GSW have literally no bench this game, so starters are going to have to open up a 30+ point lead.
Their bench is Livingston, Clark, Speights, J. Thompson
>>64634579
Looks like that's not gonna be a problem at this pace.

Because watching Fisher and PorGod fight is funny as hell?
Damn if this team don't hustle. I would say that's the great part about having a young team but even Jameer was getting crazy down on the floor.
spurs shit on the cockshits
great night great life
Why is Okafor such a shitty rebounder?
>>64635870
good question. you'd think he'd average atleast 10 rebounds
>>64635870
too slow. Al Jefferson wasn't a great rebounder either
>>64624928
When will cuckold /pol/ memes die lads?
>>64635870
Lots of reasons, most of which the Lakers and Timberwolves were aware of, but the 76ers ignored.
He's on the short side for a center, close to Dwight Howard's height. He has short arms, and he's clumsy when he runs. He's pretty average athletically, and worst of all, he's lazy.
Apparently, that, along with the fact that he complains a lot is why the Lakers passed on him. LA didn't want another Dwight, which essentially what Jah is, except with better post moves and much less hops.
>tfw little girls are hitting the three better than the nuggets during the first quarter
what am I doing with my life lads it's quarter to five in the morning and i'm watching women's little league
>>64623318
Replace Durant with Simmons and this is realistic.
>>64623318
Lakers next year
PG: Russell
SG: Clarkson
SF: some shit college guy from the draft
PF: Randle
C: Whiteside
If I was the Lakers, I'd ship Russell and Randle out right now for draft picks. Make Clarkson defacto PG, release Swaggy P and Lou
Clarkson and Nance are the only good investments, trade and release everyone else, start over fresh
and most imporantly
FIRE THE SCOUTING DEPARMENT
Danny Green was making his 3s tonight. If this continues GSW gotta watch out

>>64637003
Today was a good day
seriously tho why are the cockshits so shit
okafor could be a fucking offensive monster if he keeps developing
