I've always found this photo so over the top its ridiculous. Its Jordan's last shot as a Bull to win his last Championship and it was snapped, ball still in the air, with 6.6 on the clock.

Jordan was 6'6", it was his 6th Championship, during Game 6 of his 6th Finals appearance, for his 6th MVP, final shot as a Bull taken with 6.6 on the clock. Its so absurd I feel like someone in the Matrix is fucking with me.

His number is 23. 2X3=6

Its just weird. I know coincidences happen but damn. A 6'6" superstar, going for his 6th ring, 6th Finals MVP, during the 6th game and taking the winning shot, the last shot of his career as a Bull with 6.6 on the clock when the photo was taken. That shit is ordained by the basketball gods.

Another day, another Robert Williams highlight reel on a flawed Celtics team.

Going to be interesting to see how Durant holds up in his mid 30s

Honestly he should hold up well because he has a smooth Gate and doesn't have to Rise all that high because of his length, bit he needs a coach that has the balls to manage his minutes. Duncan played a long time under pop because he wouldn't overuse him .

Definitely true; it's hard to say how his long frame will hold up tho when he cuts and drives. He will have to retrain his instincts a bit, which can be done.

I'm waiting for the day where a team just walks off the court in protest of a ridiculous ref call.

Was just gonna post this. Egregious. This ref should be suspended a month.

Pretty sure it was someone falling into his legs iirc, and not general wear and tear. I could see him becoming a lot like older Dirk. Not the most mobile on D and driving less and shooting more. As a former 50/40/90 shooter he'll be alright. So far this season his athleticism has been pretty decent. Came back looking a lot better than I thought he would.

Not sure how Celtics are huge favorite today with TimeLord out due to kid getting born.

Yeah but they are pretty bad though. I bet on Celtic but lost hope when they get so far behind in points. All is well now lol. I thought in the US gambling is legal? Didnt know some states it wasnt.

 

[heavyarms21]

Gaymond out two more weeks for the Warriors and Curry is day to day with his Ankle , prime time for the Suns to build a lead in the Standings or the Grizzlies to catch up in the standings, only two games behind.
