Caruso > Haliburton

The flyover state with the ugliest fans won.

Hell I wouldn’t even fly over that backward ass state. This a Mickey Mouse championship. Should be an asterisk beside it.

 

[MusterX]

And now we wait......

Football, please hurry.

Football, please hurry.

I need some sun gawd in my life.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Yeah, I’ll never understand that decision. PNW is so elite.

That dumbass Starbucks CEO who owned the Sonics sold the team to an Oklahoma based group

SGAy now has as many fmvps as Fitp. Lmao

There's a really god doc about it called Teamless in Seattle. It should be free on YT by now. I think it was financed by Gary Payton.

Xbox recently restored NBA Jam On Fire Edition (I believe 2013) as backwards compatible. Looks like I'll be spending the rest of the night going on a run with The Glove/Reign Man vs Russ/KD.

You can never go wrong with NBA Jam. There's a mod out now that lets you play with the 2025 roster on the PS3 version.

That's awesome! They really should bring it back, it's a fun "quick hit" game/concept that isn't overly complicated, and still holds up.

Someone used to update the Genesis version of the OG NBA Jam but they didn't do it this year for some reason.

@Croaker I know you’re a huge fan of both guys. Would you take Shai over Kobe? I can only imagine your answer.

You know what's funny? I just pulled out an old Kobe/Lakers T shirt from like 2001 today along with my AK47 and T-Mac Rockets jersey. I fell out of admiration for Kobe for a few reasons. The Colorado Kobe thing didnt even bother me. It's when he was getting awards he didn't deserve. There were other players who didnt get the recognition Kobe did. Getting MVP votes when he didnt deserve them. That was the same time I realized Paul Pierce was a massively overrated can too, but at least Kobe wasn't a melodramatic shitter like that bum. My fade from Kobe isn't even Kobe's fault. It's realizing how the NBA is just a bunch of bullshit.

Kobe's 35 ppg season was better than any Jordan scoring title, adjusted for pace its a better season plus he was playing with absolute bums. He had like Smush Parker as his 2nd best option. I know Lamar Odom was the 2nd leading scoring but he wasn't even the 2nd option on most plays. That team was just ass.

Idk, in todays era I'd take Shai, in Kobe's era I'd take Kobe.

SGA top 10 player all time confirmed

 

[My Spot]

I'm loving the scalding hot takes from Thunder "fans" on social media.
"SGA is the first ever player to be MVP, conference finals MVP, and finals MVP in the same season. Not even Jordan did that!"

 

[Sweater of AV]

SGA joins truly elite company.

Already has the same number of scoring titles as LeBrick. Lmao.

 

[TribalDrumz]

Lmao who saw the Lefraud Amazon commercial .. about 60 seconds of pure cringe. He’s trying so hard to be Hollywood get ready for tons of try hard entertainment trash from him.

 

[heavyarms21]

So Tatum and an Haliburton are probably both out next season with a best case of 2027 , assuming it's pretty much verified that Haliburton ruptured his Achilles as well.

 

['Rocky']

East is gonna be weird in 2026 after those back to back to back Achilles tears on star players.
