Please take a moment to admire the great LeBron for the special talent he is. It never gets old looking at the King's history. So many accomplishments Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan will never achieve:

1.Only player in NBA history to quit because of Air Conditioner.
2.Quit on his team the year after he promises a championship.
3.Dunked on by a high school kid then confiscates the tape.
4.Bail on the dunk contest 9 times.
5.Only able to win a ring with 2 superstars.
6.Play on same team as his moms boyfriend.
7.Average 1.8 pts in the 4th quarter of NBA finals.
8.Lose not 1, not 2, but 4 times in the Finals.
9.Host a national televised TV show to leave his team.
10.Go 2 for 18 in an NBA playoff game.
11.Get stuffed by a player under 6 feet. (Nate Robinson)
12.Flop every single game in the playoff 5 out of 6 finals games by dropping FG% by 18.
14.0 Rings if not for refs calling early fouls on Durant and Westbrook it threw them out of rhythm, made them play soft, and sit for big parts of the game which changed the flow and momentum of the finals.
15. First person to show his dick and lose in a Finals game.
16. got shut down by a bench player who ended up getting finals MVP
17. could not post up jj barea

BIGGEST UPSET IN NBA SEASON HISTORY

http://www.landofbasketball.com/player_comparison/kobe_bryant_vs_lebron_james.htm


Can anyone decipher this for me? It would appear Lebron James is the superior player based on these statistics, in every measurable attribute he outperforms Kobe Bryant.

In fact despite the fact Kobe has won 5 championships he only has the same amount of Finals MVPs as Lebron James.

So I must ask, how is Kobe better than Lebron?

Let's take a moment to admire the greatness of Stephen Curry. Truly in the orine of his career and can only go up from here. Let's look at some accomplishments that Kobe or Lebron or even Jordan will never achieve:

1. Fat wife
2. Said fat wife talks about giving sexual favors for meme points on social media
3. Glass ankles
4. Got crossed up so bad that his glass ankles snapped in half, great defense champ!
5. Get scored on for the game winner by a neat 40 year old in the playoffs
6. Sent your teamate to injure kyrie Irving in the finals because he blocked the shot of you
7. Get locked down by an Aussie bench warmer in the finals
8. airball a go ahead shot with 5 seconds remaining in the finals
9. Lose the finals MVP to a bench player
10. Could not get past Tim Duncan 1 on 1
11. Admit you chuck threes
12. Lose at home twice to a manlet and a bunch of inexperienced rookies
13. Break the record for most wins yet nobody cares enough to watch it

I honestly didn't think he would score 60. Then I saw the first 2 minutes of the game, and I'm like "they're just giving the ball to Kobe every time....and he keeps fucking missing (0-5). Then, in the next couple of minutes, he goes 5-0, and I'm like "DAMN! If he does this all game, we gonna have another record broken! He took 50 shot, but that doesn't guarantee that you make 22 of them, he made them because he's KOBE. What a way to go out.
>>
>>66825579
It's the 3rd year in a row and at this point it's fucking obvious the NBA is trying to keep the Raptors out of the spotlight as long as possible because it's a Canadian team.

Raptors have the 4th best record in the league and they STILL give them a shitty timeslot
>>
>>66825603
Shoo Shoo stupid kid. Kobe and Curry are mutually exclusive.
>>
Kobe's Records:
-NBA most missed shots in regular season.
-NBA record most missed gamewinners.
-NBA record most missed buzzer beaters
-NBA record worst shot attempt to assist ratio.
-NBA record only Finals MVP to not shoot above 50% in a single finals game (did this in 2009 & 2010).
-Lowest shooting % among top 10 scorers all-time.
-There are only 15 games in NBA history where a player shot below 50% to reach 50 points: Kobe has 8 of them.
-NBA record most shots missed in a playoff series.
-NBA record most missed shots in a finals.
-NBA record most missed shots in history.
Truly an amazing career.

I mean if you shoot the ball 50 times and don't score at least 40 points then there is a huge problem.

i just said they're really good, not both top 15. if they're top 30 and you have 450 guys in the league (probably 480 adding the random bodies thrown at the grizz bench), that still means the're among the best 5-7% of all currently active players. i consider that pretty good.

Yeah wolves would be a good team to bandwagon they have back to back rookies of the year, and one of them is really fucking good and gonna be even better in the future
Bucks or Celtics would also be good bandwagon teams. Bucks have a beast and he's one of the most exciting players in the league

>>66827031

The Nuggets would not hesitate to take Brown over him if they're in bottom half of the top 10. There's a lot less risky players through 10 picks. The teams from 10-15 are looking for more NBA ready guys. So if a team in the last few spots of the lottery want a project they might take the gamble. But ideally he should go 16-20, and only worse if he blows up in work outs and interviews.

It'll be hard for Brown to jump in the top 5 when Simmons/Ingram/Bender/Murray/Ellenson/Hield/Dunn are almost sure to go ahead of him. Unless he shows tremendous improvement on that jump shot, he'll be in the 6-10 range. His body is built for the NBA already though. Kind of like Stanley Johnson last year.

He'll be overpaid but were fucked without him. Best rebounder in the league and the only inside presence on the entire team besides Baynes who should strictly be a bench player. Stan should do more sets with Drummond and Baynes though. He only did it once this season if I remember and it really made the offense flow nicely. We have the outside shooters, once we get a good inside presence the Pistons will be deadly.

Drummond could really be a better scorer honestly. He also is kinda weak on defense but I think the reason for that is because there is no one on the inside who is a threat which makes defending him/scoring on him easier. I see Pistons fans say we should trade him but I disagree. Id rather build around him.

The best team ever is the 88 Pistons. Nobody will acknowledge this, though, because the NBA pundit class is made up of former players whom the Pistons beat the shit out of, and they're still salty about it.

It's why Bill Laimbeer can't get a coaching or front office job. Bunch of pussies still butthurt.
