2016-2017 NBA THREAD V11: Ainge is a terrible GM

[iwhoopedbatman]

I dont care what Steph averages, it doesnt put money in my pockets. I only enjoy his success because it pisses off everyone how the son of a rich former player, who had everything giving to him, is this good.

He's pretty good. I don't have a problem saying that. Being the 3rd best player (Klay is overrated) on the second best team in the league is an accomplishment.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

If they pay him the most yes.

I'd absolutely wear some whack shoe if I got paid to do so, just f'n with you. I can't blame curry for that one

unless it was Starbury's style and gave me messed up heel the first game wearing them haha

UA actually designed the shoe for Currys weak ankles. I thought they were just ugly because their design team sucked

 

[TuBB]

Lets see if Dunny's team can beat the Warios tomorrow.

Wouldn't be surprised if they do. Wouldn't be surprised if they get smirched by Denver either. Just a weird fucking team.

Yeah, their creative team should have been take out back old yeller style.

You aint lying. They dropped the price which shows me that they dont get it. The Currys 2 were the best selling signature shoe that werent retro jordans. So the price was fine. But the 3's were so big and ugly and turned people off. Same reason Lebrons last two sigs havent sold well.


Aside from the Kobes, I wouldnt buy any of these current sigs. Adidas been doing good work but the hardens are trash

Agreed.

I wear Kobes to hoop and spar but beyond that I never where basketball shoes.

I have no idea what's up with Lebron's shoes. He gave me his shoes after a game here when he was with the Heat and even his custom personal shos suck. Harden's custom shoes aren't bad. Theyre nothing like you see in the store.

I like low top basketball shoes cause they have more cushion than regular shoes. I like wearing running shoes too, but thoe tend to be $60 to $70 more for about the same tech.

I was mainly talking about the look of Hardens shoes, they just look generic. I was disappointed, i was expecting an NMD like design and tech.

 

[Chris Kyle is a liar]

I hate how hollywood has killed the mystique of my favorite crazy players. Ron Artest and Vernon Maxwell just seem like normal people now. They couldnt change RODman though, we still him.

@faustian @HunterSdVa29

 

[Revolver]

Best white player ever.

 

[faustian]

Good now maybe the bum can finally retire

 

[DrVanNostrand]

Best white player ever.

 

[Revolver]

Lmao @ westbrick. He hasn't passed the ball in 3 minutes.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

I prefer playing in runners I tape my ankles every game havent had a sprain.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

i wore jordan 5s on my HS team senior year, horrible grip and bad decision haha

most comfortable shoes i've ever hooped in, still have both of them and wear them, were the original Flightposite 1s (blue and black ones), and i hate to admit it but Bern's Zoom Soldier IIIs. They had this weird one piece lower design, an independent toecap (first ever major release to have it of any shoe brand....) which allows the inner part to flex/bend but give you maximum support still.

Incredible shoes, and there Berns so you know i'm not lying when i give them props
edit: air jordan 2010 had the toecap too, but that was after

 

[Money509]

Westbrook is such a monster, dude just had a career high.

 

[faustian]

Bronk is the only Blunders player with double-digit FGA tonight. And he has 37 of them lmao

 

[wlu.29]

taj majal gibson going to the blunder has been terrible for my fantasy team

 

[Luminaire]
