He didn't say shit about LeBron sitting flat footed on defense and not staying attached to the action at all. I know he is 40, but damn. Reddick was like fuck that, I was podcasting a year ago, I can't say shit. Legler set him up :lol2:
 


I respect it.


I understand, but Mike ain't the person to go at. TAR
It was funny to me how I agreed with Bill for the entire video and then he ends it with if that happens “he’s up there with Magic and Bird.”

I’m like :cmonson:. Because Bird is not in my top ten.

I think when you say top 10, you have to really mean top 12 to account for reasonable difference of opinion. Shaq isn’t in my top 10 but he’s a reasonable top 10 pick.

If Jokic wins MVP and the title, he ties LeBron in MVPs and trails him in titles by one, without team shopping like LeBron did.

I still think LeBron is unquestionably ahead of him, plus Jordan, Kareem, Russell and Wilt. I personally would have my boys Kobe and Steph ahead of him but it’s not unquestionable.

When a dude only has 5 players unquestionably ahead of him, it’s fair to call him top 10 IMO.

But one thing to keep in mind is how NBA history keeps expanding! LeBron has played with or against 35% of all players in NBA history! The game keeps piling up greats. Top 10 now is so much more elite in 2025 than what top 10 meant in 1995.
I respect the analysis :thumbsup:.

NBA Team Valuations Reach $5.51 Billion Average, Up 20 Percent From 2024

NBA Team Valuations Reach $5.51 Billion Average, Up 20 Percent From 2024
The average NBA team is now worth $5.51 billion, up 20 percent year-over-year and 113 percent since 2022, according to Sportico's calculations. The collective value of all 30 franchises reached $165 billion, driven by a landmark $76 billion media rights agreement and strategic arena investments.
Rick Welts, newly appointed Dallas Mavericks CEO, called the current moment unprecedented for league growth.
"Never had a moment like this where you could be as optimistic as I am," Welts said in a video interview. "A lot of people are in this league, from an international perspective, from a media perspective, and I really feel like we have the best ahead of us."
The Golden State Warriors maintained their five-year reign as the NBA's most valuable franchise at $11.33 billion, second globally only to the NFL's Dallas Cowboys at $12.8 billion. The Los Angeles Lakers jumped to second place at $10 billion after Mark Walter's pending acquisition at 16 times revenue, surpassing the New York Knicks at $9.85 billion. The average value-to-revenue multiple for the NBA is 13.5, ahead of the WNBA at 12.0, the NFL at 10.3 and MLS at 9.4.
The Warriors' dominance stems from arena ownership, sponsorship revenue nearly double any other team, and their WNBA affiliate, the Golden State Valkyries, valued at $500 million. The Valkyries made history as the first expansion team to qualify for the playoffs in their inaugural season.
The new media contract with Amazon, ESPN/ABC and NBC raises each team's annual television revenue from $103 million to $143 million, with seven-percent annual increases through 2036. The "get-in" price for franchise ownership—represented by the Memphis Grizzlies at $4 billion—has jumped 2.5 times since 2022, when it stood at $1.63 billion.
Recent high-profile sales drove valuations across the board. The Boston Celtics sold for $6.1 billion in March, while the Lakers' pending deal at $10 billion set a new record for control sales in sports history. The Portland Trail Blazers agreement at $4.25 billion followed in August.
The NBA is pursuing expansion in Europe in partnership with FIBA, potentially launching 16 teams with a fall 2027 tipoff. The league also plans to develop a Basketball Africa League with 12 teams and dedicated home arenas. Welts emphasized international opportunities as transformational for league economics.
"The international opportunity is multiple of what the domestic U.S. sports market is," Welts said. "The technology will allow anybody, anywhere in the world to consume any NBA game."
New arenas are under construction in Oklahoma City ($900 million, opening 2028) and Philadelphia (2030), with the Dallas Mavericks scouting sites following 24 years at the shared American Airlines Center.

Is it most career assist to the same player?
No, asshole. :hmm:

Flawful as always. :hmm:

2021 article:


Green is the leading facilitator for the Warriors. He has led the team in assists ever since the 2015-16 season. Stephen Curry has been the team's number one scoring option during that time. Most people assume Curry's made baskets have accounted for most of Green's assists.

However, statistics tell another story for the Warriors. Since Green's second year in the NBA, he's had more assists when passing to Thompson. Since the 2013-14 season, Green has 651 assists to Thompson and 592 assists to Curry. There hasn't been a single season when most of his assists came from makes by Curry.
 
This changes the trajectory of the season big time smdh. They were already thin at the pg/ball handling position & that's why I wanted them to get a vet pg during free agency instead of loading up on wings. They're asking a lot from Reed Sheppard who's still unproven & Arron Holiday is a 2 guard in a point guard's body.
Simmons and Lowry are still available :lol:
