Dammmmnn Russell back at it again with the snitch cam
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

Someone explain this to me. How can Kobe be better than Lebron if Lebron is better at scoring, shooting, passing, stealing, blocking, and rebounding?

Guys, I was awake for 36 hours straight yesterday and I think I started hallucinating from tiredness because I seem to remember Kobe dropping 60 is his final game. That can't be right, can it?

BIGGEST UPSET IN NBA SEASON HISTORY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_BBKI3zcTQ
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?
>>66825207
I don't why do we even have flags, people keep being mean with each other.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
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
>>66824539
>>66824607
how are phones not banned from the Lakers locker room right now? fuckin circus Byron is running.
Who do you Think will become The next Greatest laker ?...
>>66825070
i really didn't expect /nba/ to handle the Warriors losing in the first round. Losing to the Cockets was embarrassing and the Warriors being the biggest fraud ever that well
please keep posting im literally rock hard right now, your ass pain is not going away anytime soon
>>66825177
Best team ever is the 1985-86 Celtics.
>>66825273
Go back to soccer threads.
>>66825243
interesting pattern after Warriors crowned best team. even after /nba/ bandwaggoned Lebron up 2-1 in the finals and got BTFO
some people got very angry
very angry
Steph Curry
>>66825316
>Break the record for most wins yet nobody cares enough to watch it
Both games got equal ratings actually
>>66825355
I don't like soccer anymore
>>66825286
Don't kill him, learn him to shoot 3s
>>66825396
of course you don't bandwagoner
>>66825354

>what is the 86-87 lakers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tc0Ippm10Y
It's going to be boring talking shit to the 1 legit Pacerfag and about 200 Raptors haters.
All of you will get BTFO soon enough.
WE THE NORTH!
>>66825505
just for the record, grease supports the raptors
>>66825505
Remember when Pacers were good that one year and then Hibbert nearly died on the court and the dream was dead?
Everyone saying "he's my MJ, he's our Michael Jordan" but I say fuck that. He's the one and ONLY Kobe Bryant. Dominated the game and did it his way! My childhood hero. There will never be another Kobe Bean Bryant. Greatness PERSONIFIED! You are the GOAT in my eyes and I thank you for 20 years of pure GREATNESS! ️ is #MambaOut
>>66825556
Thank you Kosta
>>66825505
You seen the press conference with Casey? He's mad cheesed at the time slot they gave us.
>people are doubting the pistons on media
Did we forget 2004 ever happened?
>>66825484
I disagree, but you have good taste senpai
Kobe scored 60 WORTHLESS POINTS, IN A WORTHLESS W. Lakers season ending record = 17-65 yet you dumb fucks celebrate like the Lakers just won another chip. ROFL! Good bye & good riddance BALL HOGGER ! Curry = GOAT ! Warriors are the GOAT TEAM! 73-9! BEST TEAM...EVER ! EVER ! Just hand Curry another MVP and his 2nd straight NBA Chip. It's a done deal ! BACK2BACK!
>>66825556
no it doesnt
denbtland is going with indiana, the team of the legend
>>66825481
>bandwagoner
Only americans and canadians can be bandwagoners
>>66825567
finally a sane post in this sea of buttmads
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.

oh look it's the self-hating Canadian Cloppers fan still wishing Kobe went to his team instead of the Lakers.
Just fuck off with your weak bait

on paper, yes. Karl Malone was a walking turnover & payton was a shell of his former self. plus, everyone hated each other. too many Alphas
if anything, we lost that series more than you won it.
>>66825743
you're right
pistons in finals confirmed. East prepare ur angus
>>66825638
Gonna make it sweeter when they win one for da 6ix this year
I expect there to be massive refball against them every series
I will be pissed if Kobrick has more than 80 rating in this game
>>66825905
It already happened in the last minute during the regular season game against the Pacers.
Can we at least all agree that Millsap is lowkey a top 15 player?
>>66825743
>going up against one of the strongest laker teams ever
What? They were nowhere near as good as the 00 or the 01 Lakers, let alone the late 80s Lakers or the 72 team
>>66825949
It'd be pretty based if they add a Kobe Career mode like they did for Jordan in 2k11.
>Lebron's peak performance: 61 points
>Kobe's last game: 60 points
>our guy
>>66825949
They already released a 99 overall Kobe for MyTeam today.
Stay mad
>>66825949
damn last 2k I bought was 2k14 might have to get this...
Ok I'm no Kobe fan or laker fan but did anyone else genuinely get choked up watching that montage they played last night? Like I grew up watching this dude play throughout my childhood/early adulthood and watching it brought back some feels, guys
Or am I bitch?
>milsap is our guy
only form of shitposting i approve
>>66826067
nah even Jack Nicholson choked up a bit
What music do you guys listen to when practicing? They told me I can't play music with swearing so I'm experimenting with what music to play. I just tried dnb but I feel like there's better music for bball.
>>66825976
he's really really good. horford too.
>>66826067
he's been there for 20 years of your life. it's fine, let it flow.
>>66826067
Nah real recognize real
>scores 60
>shoots the ball 50 times.
>people act like that's impressive
I mean if you shoot the ball 50 times and don't score at least 40 points then there is a huge problem.
>>66826119
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gF2UySGZAU
the only music you need senpai
>>66826141
but he scored 20 more than that.
at age 37
staymad
>>66826123
horford and millsap are top 30 IMO. top 15 might be an overstatement
>>66826141
60 points on 50 shots is not good
But it's fucking legendary for the last game of your career when you're broken down like kobe
And he was hitting some tough shots too
>>66826141
This desu
>>66826119
just put it on hiphop fm radio
>>66826141
He was shooting 44% from the field, that's really not bad considering the volume
>>66826179
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.
>>66826180
>And he was hitting some tough shots too
some of those were crazy vintage kobe shots.

>not bad
lol, indonesians really know nothing about basketball.
the kobe game was the first nba game i watched and im not much of a sports guy. I want to pick a team to support so sell me on some. I kinda prefer timberland wolves cause i loved the decal on their homecourt back when i played nba 2002
>>66826386
top kek i meant Minnesota timeberwolves
>>66826386
What kind of team do you wanna root for
On an unrelated note is isiah Rashad /nba/core?
>>66826364
>>66826386
Go for the timberwolves, they're the most promising young team in the NBA. They literally have nothing but future all-stars in their early twenties. The lakers have jack shit and are gonna be stuck in the hole for a decade.
>>66826415
how do you break down teams? I no next to nothing about the teams, i dont want to jump on the warriors bandwagon.
are the timberwolves relevant at all? is there potential for them to come out on top in teh next few years?
>>66826386
indeed, go for timberwolves, nice young team.
only prob, they are sure to fuck up at some point, but until then they ll be fun to watch.
>>66826386
watch the raptors, its a canadian team and derozan is kobe-lite
>>66826386
You're from Canada so you need to watch the Raptors
>>66826377

Nah I meant like do you wanna hop on an established team or a shitty team with a future or whatever
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
You could root for the thunder who have 2 top 5 players who are also dope
Idk nigga do your research
>>66826504
>are the timberwolves relevant at all?
Right now, no. But they have the best young core in the league, including a rookie who looks like a future HoF lock, and will be contenders in the next few years if they develop correctly and the front office doesn't fuck anything up
>>66826526
>>66826533

How FAR could this team go if they played together at their CURRENT AGE? It'd be an extremely slow team, lacking athleticism but consider their skill and basketball IQ.

Blocks are a meme stat but averaging almost 4 blocks a game is damn impressive
>>66826534
man so good I'm getting misty eyed again
what a send off
>>66826689
apparently nugs are big on him, they might take him at the 7 which is their most likely spot
>>66826534
It's decent just because Kobe is old and fucked up
>>66826690
The Warriors will sweep them in 5.
I'll consider getting swept in 6 a success for the Clippers
>>66826664
not very far... Dirk apart, most of these guys can't play more than 10-15 mpg
>>66826693

He could have been a rookie of the year contender.

How are seeds decided?

>>66826715
Rudy Gobert is rim protection done right. He doesn't compromise team defense to stat pad like Memeside
Please kami-sama don't let the Raptors ruin the perfect ECF between the Cavs and the Heat
>>66826730
thx for the quick answer Nigel, appreciated
>>66826787
Good point. I always thought that blocks didn't mean shit, a lot of players padded blocks and Whiteside is really no different
Still, 4 damn blocks a night is pretty solid. I'd still rank Gobert over Whiteside any day tho
>>66826735
There is a possibility of an upset in the second round. The Clippers play the Warriors as good as anybody in the league. They will put up a fight atleast.
so the spurs had the seventh-best NBA regular season record of all time. neat.

but im all ears, why do you think he ll go lower
>>66826377
dude, he knows more than you
44% is Kobe's exact career fg%. It was a marvelous game by the last player from the '96 class, show some fucking respect
Fuck the Cawks they lost to a wizards team that practically handed them a W yesterday. Celtics Cavs should be hype. Those team fucking hate eachother
>>66826534

This solidified Kobe as Top 10 imo, second best SG of all-time, most fundamentally skilled player of all-time, and right there with Jordan in terms of ruthlessness

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.

I see, so you think he is more of a long term project.
Talking of NBAreadiness, this is pretty hard to assess, but quite often players with experience in european leagues adapt pretty fast to the NBA (Porzingis and Mirotic being two recent examples).
Talking of Jaylen Brown, I expect him to be top5. very good athlete.

Should I get a Bill Laimbeer or Andre Drummond jersey?

Laimbeer
Imo classic jerseys are always dope
>tfw could never pull off a Phoenix suns starter jacket without looking like a poser
They're so sexy
>>66827256
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.
>>66827582

Gotta rep the district tho I fucking love old bullets jerseys and bright blue and red look so damn good together
>>66827651
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.
>>66827631
hardwood classics are older jerseys that are made by mitchell and ness

Im loving the Harris trade. Reggie Jackson and Tobias Harris really have shined on the Pistons. No way they make the playoffs this season if the Harris trade didnt happen.
>>66827777
Quads speak the truth
>>66827849
But it was obvious by half time that the Jazz could easily blow the Lakers out. They were obviously paid so that Kobe could get his highlight reel
>>66827899
what the fuck would have been the point of blowing the lakers out. you sound like mirthless bitter cunt.
>>66827849
this season rly sucked for Jazz, I hope they go fulldespair and trade Hayward. Come to daddy versatile wing scorer
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.
>>66827931
Hayward for the Nets pick is honestly a really good trade for both sides.
>>66827699
no pistons fans say they should trade him
Drummond is the best center in the league and will shit on everyone. He's only 22 right now, in his prime he will be 30 and 20.
>>66827651
he will be overpaid, i would rather have whiteside except hes old
he does not play good defense, half his rebounds are tipped put-backs that miss, he has very few offensive moves the bottom line is here:
he will never win in the playoffs because teams will start fouling him at any point in the game until he's out. Already seen it in the first quarter of a regular season game this year.
And we're gonna sign him to a max.

If Durant had a better team around him he would dominate even more, but being in a shit team didn't interfere with him having one of the most efficient and effortless seasons in his career
Kobe closed out his career the only way he could -- a grandiose 50-shot, 60-point scoring effort that'll go into the annals of NBA history. For a 37-year-old who has battled injuries and ineffectiveness over the past couple years, this was a sendoff unlike anything you could've imagined. Nobody in the NBA scored 60 this season until Kobe did it in his last game ever.

you're absolutely correct. Horry hit that shot, kudos, that was fantastic. But Game 6 was rigged. On May 31, 2002 the NBA committed a fraud upon the NBA and its fans and you Laker fucks cheer it with a banner in your dark fucking stadium
At least Ralph Nader had the courage and patriotism to stick up for consumers and demand the NBA change its policies. We all know that failed. The NBA has no honor or courage and game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals was proof of that. A great thing died that day, our collective faith in the system

I didn't say the entire series was rigged, I said 1 game was. Please don't think I mean the Lakers preferred LA over Sacramento, read my earlier post and I am saying only that the NBA wanted to continue that series simply because it was the greatest Conference Finals maybe in the history of the game. Every game went right down to the last possession, it was the hottest rivalry in basketball at the time, the NBA NEEDED it to go to game 7 so they made it so.
The Lakers shot 40 Free Throws in game 6 and TWENTY-FOUR (24) in the 4th quarter alone. This was after both Vlade Divac and Scot Pollard had unbelievably both fouled out of the game before the 4th quarter even started. LAWRENCE FUNDERBURKE was guarding Shaquille O'neal in the 4th Quarter. That alone at the very least should raise your flags

What teams in the next 10 will become shit?
What teams will be good?
>>66831076
Only one guy can have the ball.
The guard to center duo always has better chemistry than a PF C duo.
>>66830735
when I was a wee lad my favorite player at the time was penny. My aunt was a flight attendant in florida and she sent me the whole fucking uniform, pinstripe black Jersey and shorts with the starter sweats and air penny II's all for my 7th birthday. best shit ever.
watching this brings back so many memories
Magic always been one of my favorite teams.
those pinstripe jerseys were boss. Always had a thing for that court too.
>>66831109

This used to be the squad growing up in the 90s.

this guy gets it >>66831461
>>66831437
Kings.
I'm getting in Cousins face and making him stop being a crybaby thug, changing this disgusting culture, or blowing that shit up in the process.
This magic team they're talking about reminds me A LOT of Current Minnesota.
>>66830982
just got home, gonna take some bong rips and then play some donkey kong country 2 familia
>>66831501
No, they're nothing alike besides being young.
This team is based around the showtime lakers and T wolves aren't.
>>66831498
also you get to move into a beautiful new arena next year

What coach should the T-Wolves get?
>>66831197
Horrible list
>>66831664
Thibs
Muh defense
Just think, if these guys stayed together there would've never been a "Shaq & Kobe", there was "Penny & Shaq" and they tormented the league for a while.
Egos, injuries & teammates coming up short -- cough, cough, Dennis Scott & Horace Grant -- is what derailed that soon-to-be dynasty.
Watching this 30 for 30 has captured more of my attention than anything this season. I love these things.

>>66831437

Literally free money

sounds alot like the Thunder tbhdesu
>>66831764
Stop being a reactionary with your projections.
Rockets, Bulls, and Thunder will be okay.
>>66831793
>rockets
They'll be average
>thunder
They'll be decent
>bulls
A drop in greatness. Will go 3 years not in the playoffs
>>66831768
holy shit it's almost literally the same story except the Thunder had 4 drafted superstars instead of 2
>>66831793
>Thunder will be okay.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>66831793
Literally those three will be utter shit
>>66831689
That would be a good get. I'd like Hoiberg. He used to work for Timberwolves before he went to coach for Iowa State. But I think he's happy with the Bulls right now so Thibs would be good too.
>>66831768
>Perkins and Fisher are Grant
>Westbrook and a little bit of Harden are Penny
>Durant and a bit of Ibaka are Shaq
>go from a brand new franchise to a fairytale team all the way to the finals
>Lose like the Magic to the older team
>>66831768
Holy fuck that team couls of done so much
>>66831885
>>66831905
Why the hell are you idiots proving me wrong by being reactionary? There's no evidence the Thunder will suddenly explode, if Durant leaves by all odds Westbrook won;t because he now controls a team with teammates he trusts and can be the sole franchise player. Ibaka, Adams, and Kanter aren't leaving.
Bulls may go through a bump but they've got the talent and contracts to keep it together for some years ahead.
Rockets are the same as Thunder. If Dwight leaves Harden is staying there for as long as possible and a team with Harden and okay role players isn't falling.
>THE CITY OF NICK ANDERSON
>>66831869
I agree.
>>66832023
But you seem to forget that other teams like the wolves, and jazz will just get better while the rockets get worse
KENNY IN THE CLUTCH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I GOT 2 RINGS WITH HAKEEM ERNIE
I PLAYED WITH HAKEEM
WHEN HAKEEM GIVES ME THE BALL I SHOOT THE 3
>>66832057
I never said they won't be good but the teams you're spewing hyperbole about won't turn to shit. They'll either be okay or maybe get free agents with their star power. If Dwight leaves someone in the NBA is going to use that chance to be the star center or ring chase with Harden.
How confident do you feel about your team in the Play-offs?
>>66832185
Pretty damn confident.
>>66827940
I actually agree. They killed the Magic and Bird era and stopped Jordan from 87-90. I've been trying to find a book about those years, because the moves that the Pistons made and assets acquired is something that can't be replicated.
>>66831197
>No Bucks in Good or Cavs in shit
>>66831768
>>66831880
>>66831927

lol
told you
r8 pls
>>66832318
Too bad they couldn't get it together the next year after that finals loss. Now no one is beating the Warriors.
Will there ever be a Lil Steph puppet?
Once again. Shaq fucks everything up with his ego.
Celtics are +145
Is this free money?
First 30 for 30 I've ever watched and it's really good so far
>>66832387
Perfect
This is like watching the future 30 for 30 about Westbrook and Durant
i hope you faggots are getting your OC game on point right now, it's almost time
>we playoffs now
GOTDAMN
THAT PALM FAKE BY MICHAEL
>>66832461
Wrong
I just said Minnesota a while ago, no. This Shaq/Penny Magic team was just like, is just like OKC.
>>66831768
It's James Haren's fault, as most things in this world are
>>66832471
the new baskets oc is piling up
I swear if OKC gets swept this season and Durant leaves....
This is like looking into the future
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25451695/kent-bazemore-says-kobe-bryant-will-have-a-50-point-game-this-year
how did he know /nba/?
Where does Pau go? Back to Memphis seems logical, doesn't it?
>>66832526
>Shaq leaving because muh money, muh ego
>Harden leaving because muh money, third wheel/6th man, muh spotlight
Prime Chuck
>>66832557
>Durant leaves....
I've got some troubling news for you my friend
Why do I get the itchy feeling that the Thunder will somehow fuck up and lose in the first round?
>>66832591
He said if.
>>66832561
The sad thing is that the Lakers allegedly had a deal in place to bring Gasol back at the trade deadline but Reinsdorf pulled out at the last minute. Imagine how awesome that 60 point game would have been with Pau by his side?
Fuck the Bulls, I say we kick them outta the 'ship
>>66832605
Because you're a dummy. baka baka
>>66832605
because they don't win close games and choose to choke instead. Westy is a glory-seeking chucker and The Servant is beta-max.
"I'm the president and he was the vice president"
And there's every issue with teammates Shaq has had summed up in one quote.
>>66832630
>The Servant
Still can't believe he's going with that shitty nickname when he could have had "the Slim Reaper" or "Durantala"
Remember him? He is Coby Karl, son of former Seattle SuperSonics coaching legend George Karl. Now he's the assistant coach of the Westchester Knicks of the NBA D-League.
>>66832656
The jackass wanted to be Hollywood with huge endorsements and tons of movies. He got it and it fed his ego well and then Kobe had to become the president and he left again.
What a pre-madonna
>>66832657
He said the servant jokingly because when asked about his reaper name, he said he didn't like it. He's a devout christian and the servant was supposed to mean servant of god in a witty contrast to the morbid nickname people gave him.
He doesn't actually call himself that and has since accepted the sniper/sharpshooter nickname.
>>66832605
Not the only one, they're the only team that on paper should contest with the Warriors, but for whatever reason they choke away at the 4th.
>>66832700
>pre-madonna
tell me you're memeing
it's prima donna
>>66832730
i meme'd hard on you m8
>>66832730
You're waifu a shit anon. And no. An horses is a athlete.
>>66832713
>7 posts early
>>66832730
he means before madonna got popular you dumbass
>>66832657
Both are better. The servant is ok if you're a pass-first pg or some shit but thats just not the case.
>>66832720
this is a reasonable explanation, thanks.
He's still a beta though and needs to get an edge if he wants to win in the post-season.
>shaw giving his usual bullshit on that 30 for 30 ending
>>66833168
Shaw is a grade A bullshitter.
