{~}Official 2022-2023 NBA Thread - it’s that time again, this thread coming to a end

Yes I could’ve started on a team with 3 Hall of Fame players potentially a 4th in Robert Horry

You’re right G…takes a lot more to impress me in 2023 vs the kid I was in 07
Yet there was a game where all those hall of famers struggled to score 20 points per quarter… I guess you would be impressed by a Denzel Washington sharknado… King Kong ain’t got nothing on( tornado with shark comes through and eats Denzel during midspeech).. thread critic: best movie ever
 

Nikola Jokic: ‘Basketball Is Boring’​

DENVER— Asked for his comments on playing in his first NBA Finals, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic told reporters Thursday night that he found basketball boring. “I do not find this sport very interesting at all,” said Jokic, adding that he was actually disappointed that the Nuggets reached the Finals, because there were about two dozen other things he’d rather be doing instead. “Eight years I’ve played in this league, each one more dull than the last. You pass, dribble, shoot, and score. Then you run to the other side of the court to do it all again. The better I get, the more boring this game becomes. How anyone wants to watch this is beyond me. I wish I’d been born a foot shorter so I wouldn’t have had to deal with people forcing me to play this dismal game. I can’t wait for it to be over. Often, I find it to be pure hell.”

The onion works best when you can laugh and know its satire. This shit sounds like something he would actually say.
 


i dont think it was disrespectful at all..Shannon is personalizing it for what it meant to him and Jimmy just doesn't care about it. Maybe he will change his tune and maybe he wont, but if it's not that big of a deal, then it's not that big of a deal for Jimmy
Why Jimmy talking like he's going to the HOF? This career so far ain't getting him there.
 
It still was more high scoring than the spurs vs cavs

That's only because the 2003 series drug on for six boring games instead of four boring games. The four lowest scoring games in the 2003 series actually had less total points (653) than the four games from spurs vs cavs (668).

Nah if you compared the first 4 games the nets and spurs were higher scoring.. 668 to 678… remember 1 was a sweep which meant it was one sided so that even makes it worst
 
He took a team of g leaguers to the finals twice
He went toe to toe with the king and put up lebron #s
He took the first play in team to the finals
Lol I stand corrected. I asked chatgpt for a list of current players that'll probably make it. He was there once I had em expand it past the top 10

Them G league niggaz saved Jimmy ass along the way too
 
That's the hyperbole of today's sport talk. Not just the TV & radio talking heads either. Most modern fans don't know how to say something was good without including the phrase, ".... in NBA history."

Jokers and crew had a hell of a playoff run, but be prepared for an entire summer of people comparing it to the best runs in well .... ,"in NBA history."
That’s the crazy thing, most sane sports know this

So you’re saying you were entertained by this Finals?

And also Denzel would probably have Sharknado nominated for a Golden Globe he’s box office so I would watch

Tim Tony Ginobili, Robert Horry Young Lebron are box office they make me want to watch….Who the fuck did I want to watch from this series? Da fuck out of here. Again this is MY opinion

Big bruh, you were excited to watch the SPURS but not any team in this series. Mr. Fundamental?That’s kind of wild cuz some folks been drawing parallels from this Denver team to the Spurs as in championship team but boring to watch. I considered the Spurs to be boring but I didn’t appreciate their style of basketball back then. I do now.

However y’all gotta stop being name whores and just learn to appreciate basketball at it’s core. This why the NBA pushes the same names down y’all throat.
 
Shit I would say Basketball period. Doesn’t matter the city. He look at this shit like the average person looks at their 9-to-5.
Well the NBA got really educated people who have to market the game and they need to look at the audience and evualate how they can make money from them, I can't blame Jokic for being who he is this is a paycheck, nothing more, nothing less... the NBA needs to promote them less if he's going to be this way this is business and at it's core millionare's are getting people averaging 40k a year to pay their bills.
Aaron Gordon be outside. I ran into him at a 7 eleven last year. Random as fuck but hey
He looks like one of them half breeds who bout that life and be outside alot, wouldn't surprise me one.

Aren’t you from Denver? Or always rooting for Denver teams?

I just said I loved watching the Spurs Vs Cavs because one of the greatest teams in history vs one of the greatest players of all time’s 1st finals and you talk about not appreciating basketball at it’s fundamental core…you’re all over the place and a homer…quite
 


Hardaway with the Warriors is before my time, I don't think of him as a HOFer. (Just my perspective, not contesting his status.)

But those Butler vs Reggie numbers are pretty clear.

I think we have to stop using metrics like "20ppg" because that simply is not the same today as it was in the 90s. But I do think Butler is a Reggie level player and deserves to get in.

75-72 score with a bunch of misses and turnovers is not exciting basketball period.. whether it’s jordan missing 20 jumpshots or some random white boy playing pickup basketball missing 20 shots it’s still shitty basketball. A celebrity spending a $1 bill is not worth more than a regular person $1 bill. So even if them dudes had big names them games were shitty. Just off of pure basketball alone I rather watch last game than the spurs vs Cavs 75-72 game.. if these nuggets and the heat played the same exact game play for play and only scored 75-72 you would’ve said it was horrible.. why because it was.. that cav series was garbage.. bunch of pros putting up college scores with 8 more mins on the clock.shit was pathetic.. like I said the star player lebron shot under 40 percent that series, average 20 points, and average over 4 turnovers. So the person you came to see disappointed the fans.. now the previous series Cavs vs Detroit where lebron went off was exciting but not that finals.. garbage period
