Dude said MJ and Kobe played with 1 HOFer a piece. 
Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!
and let me add, MJ played with 2 hall of famers his last 3 rings; Rodman and Pippen; and thats still 1 less than LBJ....Why are you making an obvious point
1st 3 rings, Pippen; no other hall of famer; I corrected my previous post and added Rodman for his last 3 rings; and thats still 1 less than LBJ...Dude said MJ and Kobe played with 1 HOFer a piece.
Kobe 1st 3 rings, Shaq is the only hall of famer; Kobe last 2 rings, maybe Pau; we dont know if he will get in or not; he should though; can you count????
What 3?
You call becoming a integral part of a title team in lue of dumping empty stats on a lottery team "playing worse"? You niggas are funny. Stat whores.
Ok.ok so that means LBJ cant hold MJ jock in the regards
Same Kobe that he owned head to head?hell he cant hold Magic or Kobe jock for that matter
3...Ray Allen, Bosh, D Wade thats 3 hall of famers; Now MJ played with 2 in Rodman and Pippen; Kobe played with 2 in Pau and Shaq; Who did Irving or Love play with before they came togetherWhat 3?

; How did Love play with LBJ the last 2 years; And yes I agree with you that he has helped them win and has help to make them champions; but again he aint do nothing by himself; and he has had plenty of help.....
Ray was there for one ring... at age 38.. and averaging like 9 points a game.
Bro, IDGAF! Whas any of this have to do with any of this?!
They were the best players on teams they led to no fucking where. They became winners when they hopped on Bron coattail and held tight.Who did Irving or Love play with before they came together
Like a champion.... thanks to Da Kang.How did Love play with LBJ the last 2 years
"The only team to do so and not win the NBA Title: 2015-16 Warriors"
setting records fam
Yo man, the league fucked up my substitution... Williams was in and Crabtree was out. When i checked it just now Crab was in and Williams was out. Can you correct this? Outcome gonna be the same i just my substitution reflected.
im going to hit e up right now and see if he can
Im agreeing with you LBJ is the truth, he is the catalyst for his teams no doubt; an all time great; but just like all other greats he's had plenty of help in regards to his championship...Ray was there for one ring... at age 38.. and averaging like 9 points a game.

NBA trade rumors: Potential landing spots for reportedly available Brandon Knight
The Phoenix Suns are taking on water. They once again tried to go forward this season with a roster half-made of young players like Devin Booker and Marquese Chriss and veterans like Eric Bledsoe and Tyson Chandler. The result is a 5-12 start to the year. So naturally, other teams have started looking at the roster to find guys who might be on the trade block. And the first name up?
Reserve guard Brandon Knight. From ESPN:
Suns general manager Ryan McDonough recently went on the Burns & Gambo radio show in Phoenix and proclaimed (A) that he isn't actively trying to trade Knight and (B) that he'd prefer to take at least two months to evaluate his team before seriously considering trades. None of that, however, has stopped interested rivals from believing that the struggling Knight -- who started two games this week with TJ Warren out but mostly comes off the bench for the Suns -- will be made available.
Knight is playing poorly, as he has since arriving in Phoenix. He's averaging 12.6 points per game on 11.6 shots per game, shooting just 38 percent from the field and 31 percent from 3-point range. His impact on the team is poor as well; Phoenix is a whopping 13.7 points per 100 possessions worse with Knight on the floor vs. off, and is actually a plus-2.5 points per 100 possessions when he's on the bench. In layman's terms? The Suns, a team that is perpetually outscored, outscores their opponent when Brandon Knight doesn't play. That's a huge red flag.
Brandon Knight is having a tough year so far. USATSI
At the same time, the idea with Knight is that he's struggled in Phoenix, but that doesn't mean he's not good at all. He was great in Milwaukee before being traded two years ago. The Suns made a colossal mistake in dealing Isaiah Thomas in a series of trade deadline moves along with the Lakers' protected first round pick for Knight, but it wasn't made for no reason. Knight has good steal instincts, is athletic, and is a career 36 percent 3-point shooter. There's good talent there, and at this point his value is bottom barrel. On top of that, he signed what was then a big new deal with the Suns at five years, $70 million, but now he makes $3 million less per year than Evan Turner.
So if a team is looking for a guard that can start, come off the bench, or some combination, and can score and run offense, Knight's a good buy-low candidate.
Some quick speculative candidates:
Orlando Magic: Elfrid Payton's offensive struggles are pronounced, and they could surely use a combo guard off the bench to pair with Payton or Evan Fournier.
New Orleans Pelicans: They have Jrue Holiday and Tim Frazier, but Knight would fit in well as a shooting guard who can also run offense, and they have a handful of pieces New Orleans might be willing to part with which the Suns could use. In particular, a deal involving Tyson Chandler as well would make tons of sense for both teams.
Brooklyn Nets: The Suns have some good young bigs, but Brook Lopez would instantly be arguably the team's best player. A package which gets the Nets some youth might help the Suns get enough legit NBA talent to make a push with their veterans, and they'd still have Booker and one of the young bigs.
Philadelphia 76ers: The Suns don't have great need for Nerlens Noel with Marquese Chriss around, but Jahlil Okafor actually might be a good fit with what their team does.

LeBron James congratulates Russell Westbrook for tying his triple-double mark
Russell Westbrook had 17 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 106-88 win over the Detroit Pistons, his league-best seventh triple-double of the season. Stat lines like this are now more or less ordinary for Westbrook -- in 18 games this year, he's averaging 31.2 points, 11.1 assists and 9.9 rebounds.
This particular triple-double was notable, though, because it was the 44th of his career, tying Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James for sixth all-time. While James needed 1,000 games to reach this mark, though, Westbrook did it in his 605th game.
James was impressed:
That's a cool gesture from one MVP candidate to another, and it was a nice touch to use "brodie," which is Westbrook's nickname for both himself and his brother, plus the name of his dog. Yes, I know that last sentence is a little confusing.
Anyway, James knows how much effort goes into getting one triple-double, let alone 44 of them. Westbrook generally doesn't care about other people's opinions, but this kind of praise and encouragement should actually mean something.

Bron with another triple double today over the lowly Sixers. It is what it is. 
Did this nigga really compare Tristan Thompson to Bosh?
Bosh took a weak as Toronto team to the playoffs by himself. Thompson can't lead a college team
And bitch you sensitive and cape for white men on a board that salutes black women. The fat fingered self hating coon that rode for Riley Cooper. Eat a white dick sambo while your ugly wife watches. Glad you got off the Golden State wagon tho. That Steph dickriding got annoying last year.
I don't have a dog in this fight but he is black. I have seen his kid, wife and entire family and friends. He is def black and have a lot of things going on that is pro black
