NBA ***2024 NBA Thread - Let The Games Begin***

It seems like I don't hate China Luther King Jr. as much as you guys. I gotta pick my game up.

I don't think anyone "hates" the guy but I get the feeling you're not giving yourself enough credit.

Top 10 player all-time and holds various longevity records. You have to respect it.

Sweet ass play, but Curry acting like a douche with the hands on the head kind of takes away from it.

No love lost since the Payton injury.

Theyll be in the same ranking at the end of the year with young HOU. Old CANs and gswussie nation can eat shit..

Warriors will be higher but it would be humorous if the Rockets and that melting candle Brooks manage to not suck.

Damn Lakers, you can't lose to the kings when D. Fox and Sabonis are out the whole 4th quarter.

Lakers don't have enough offensive weapons to be a proper contender in the West this year.

LeGOAT got 8 turnovers tonight which sucks, but is breaking year 21 records by the minute. His year 21 stats are better than anyonecelse by a mile so far. Legoat for life. The fact that legoat is used more than his original name online these days says a lot.

Just another in a long line of reasons for why Michael Jordan is considered the GOAT by players and knowledgeable fans across the world.

No load management even in charity games.

Current NBA players would fall apart after playing two seasons in the GOAT era.

GOAT bless.

Warriors already have two road game wins. It took until November 27 for them to win the second road game last year.

Let'ts hope they got their quota for the months ahead.

They're the same team that made a push and dominated the Warriors lmao

Lakes were more broke than Dwight Howards back from 3 at the end of that game. They always lose when they get into a chucking contest, I don't get it.

He had load management for 1.5 years in between 94-96 and load management for 2 years from 1998-2000.

Clever, but also fails to recognize Jordan played all 82 games 9 times and in 2 other seasons played 80, and 81 games, so in 11 of his seasons he only missed 3 basketball games.

He played a different sport out of boredom from greatness and basically playing a full 82 for almost a decade.



Lol at load management. You 12 year old cans are hilarious.

He could only handle 15 seasons, real goats don't give up that easily. He's the khabib of nba

What about the other 4 seasons? Also why did he miss 5 other seasons?
Let's see 1640 was the amount of games he should have had. He ended up with under 1100. The stats don't lie.

Yeah it's a shame he couldn't "handle" 20 load managed seasons of being a complete fucking pussy.



Instead he won more of absolutely everything than these cans in less time. Great argument. LeCan is the Cal Ripken Jr. of the NBA. Honestly though, that's an insult to Ripken considering he wasn't a massive pansy.



The GOAT.

Too bad it was in the 90's. There was one MJ back then, now there's 10 that are way more efficient. MJ is amazing. Easily too 10 of all time, but the game has evolved. Pippen's bulls would lose to all the top teams of today.

Yeah the game has evolved to the point where anyone with a brain knows who the GOAT is.





Have a seat and let people who know what they're talking about discuss these things.

Are we still having this LeBron vs Jordan debate?? Damn!

LeBron clearly has a career that spans the longest amount of time where he was a top 5-10 player. Nobody can top his numbers or his longevity in the sport. And what LeBron did getting that first terrible Cleveland team to the finals was amazing.

Jordan is the GOAT though. When I determine GOAT I ask myself who would I want to win me 1 game.....1 fight.....1 whatever. In NBA I'm taking Jordan #1 and I'd take Kobe #2. I feel those 2 guys could absolutely will a team to win when needed. I'd take Fedor in a fight btw

Prime lebron would beat MJ or Kobe by a big amount. His heavy pressure defense would make them through up bricks. If you use that, then shaq is the best of all time.

Jxmyhighroller is the biggest Jordan nut kisser out there. Listen to the whole league and not just 100 picked out people. It's almost dead even now. I personally have mj as 5th, but 1 or 2 seems to be the most common choice.
