>tfw Metta Old Peace is your leader
nice to see a Heat team that isn't complete dogshit at rebounding.
Five lefties in one lineup
Goddamn
>>63481366
Literally this
Clarkson is so wet
Is Kobe top ten all time?
>>63481506
Top 20 desu
>>63481506
Top 5
Also who saw that Lebron like holding the ball to not lose fg% by bosh?
>>63481506
Barely but yes
HUERTAS
>>63481506
nah here's 10 who are better without having to think about it: jordan, magic, kareem, curry, wilt, bird, russell, oscar, elgin, moses
sheeeeeeeeet
>>63481616
Lol good memeing. There
Also.
Swaggy!
Kobe is my favourite player ever but the lake show is simply better without him.
>>63481506
I think yeah. It's easy to forget how good he used to be.
Will Stephen Curry keep up his current pace and be top 5?
In all honesty, Bosh should be traded.
Dwade gotta flash it
>>63481677
He'd have to keep it up for at least another 6 years to be considered top 5. And he'd need at least 4 rings.
>>63481677
Yes. He's not going to deteriorate with age because he is great due to his skill rather than athleticism.
>>63481506
1. Kobe
2. Magic
3. The Machine
4. Kareem
5. Shaq
6. West
7. Mikan

10. Wilt
11. Baylor
12. Worthy
13. Russell
14. Gasol
15. Bird
16. Swaggy P
17. Olajuwon
18. Goodrich
19. Metta
20. Horry
Easy
>>63481732
I love you
I miss the machine :(
>>63481677
he's already arguably the best shooter in history, and when players age they become more reliant on their outside shooting
>>63481758
So what?
There's more to this game than shooting the ball. He's the best player in the league right now. But in order for him to even crack top 10 all time he needs to continue to play like this for another long time.
>>63481781
how do you say "so what" to that? his godly shooting ability is a huge predictor of how well he'll do in his 30s.
>>63481823
I don't mean to so what it. You're right. But still top 5 atm is a stretch.
To get to top 5 you need to be a complete player on both sides of the Court don't you think?
>>63481616
>Curry
>Rings Babby
>Elgin Baylor
>Moses Malone
>Le White Man
'no'
Whiteside is a BEASSST
goddamn senpai
Remember when people used to care about this matchup?
>implying Jaime Maggio isn't Lakers related
FUCKEN HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
METTA WORLD THREEE
Russell.... Fuck man
>>63481875
Manface
durant is hurt
>>63481875
Delet this
Whiteside shitting on Hibbert
what the FUCK are these jerseys? I'm about to file a grievance on the damage to my eyes, holy shit
Woohoo got home just in time for halftime
lmao Bosh did it again
>>63481546
>>63481875
Thank God the Angels dumped this slag for Curry
Is Whiteside better than Rudy Gobert?
>>63481991
>You now remember when Hibbert used to turn into prime Shaq whenever he played the Heat
>>63482073
>you now remember Hibbert's 0 point 0 rebound game

>>63482061
Both are beasts. Gotta give whiteside the edge though.
>>63482073
He was one of the few guys who would trouble Lebron.
>>63482073
shit was so funny, especially since they never won
Who else switching to the GOP debate?
>>63482238
Nah senpai fuck that
>Those empty seats
My fucking sides. Some things never change.
>>63482297
Good meme
>>63482297
:^)
>Metta and Swaggy combined for 9/9 from 3pt
>Down by 9
There is no hope
Motherfucking Bumpy
>>63482418

MCBOBBBBBB
>white boys killing the Lelkers
>McBobby throwing down dunks
>this suffocating defense
>>63482297
Their local TV ratings are high though, even post-LeBron. Weird.
Wade>Kobe
>>63483004
wade is not even better than kobe right now, in their primes, its not even close
>>63483004
woah woah wade stinks right now
TYBD

>D'Bustelo Russell
>4 points, 4 boards, 4 assists on 2-6 shooting with 2 turnovers
JUST
>>63483022
>>63483032
Um what the fuck are ya'll talking about pham. Wade is off to his hottest start in years and Kobe the exact opposite. I'm a Mavs fan who hates Wade and even I know this. Do Lakers fans watch basketball?
>>63483080
>amare cant even play on the heats bench now
>>63483105
>i am a heat fan who has watched every game but one
the last couple games wade has made the offense slow down and has become a mini kobr spamming shots
>tfw by far the worst defense in the league
>>63483105
18 4 and 2 is a hot start?
>>63483124
That doesn't fucking mean he's worse than 2015 Kobe lmao. You're underestimating how bad that is. Nice projecting though.
>>63483022
Is this bait
>>63483162
You are overestimating how bad Kobe is, he's chucking threes and has a horrible fg% but we all expected that. His other stats are pretty close to career averages.
>>63483268
>16, 2.7 and 3.5 on 32% fg is better than 18.9, 4.1 and 2.7 on 44% fg
That's dumb, anon. You're dumb.
inb4 Kobe plays defense.
>>63483327
I never said he was better, you just assumed I did.
What I said was that he was making Kobe out to be worse than he is.
32% is shit, even Kobe admitted that. But his boards are on point, he is still getting to the free throw pretty good, and 16 points is about where most of us expected he would be.
Are we /r/nba now? I swear some of you guys don't even watch games, you just look at advanced statistics like hurr durr Abbott and Straus said it, so it must be true
