NBA Regular Season thread: Tank for Cooper Flagg Initiated

Lmao at this therapy session. Get a hold of yourselves.

This is the forum equivalent of watching an NBA game today. Everyone holding hands and trying to come to terms with being a can.

Honestly though, I never understood the trend of tearing down one player just because you prefer another one. I would never hate on Bill Russell just because I think Wilt is better. All the great players need to be appreciated.
This is mostly jordumbs and Kobetards insecurity about where their favorite players stands among the greats.
 
I’ve never seen you nor @Croaker bring down Kobe or Jordan just to praise LeBron. You guys do nothing but praise two and all their accomplishments.
I given Jordan credit for his abilities in his era. I definitely don't think he's a 9 time all defensive first team player. No chance in hell he deserved those lol, he gambled on steals all the time and consistently got beat. He was able to pick the pocket of dudes who couldn't handle my bag in high school though from time to time. He literally got voted on those. He also was considered a great "shot blocking guard" because he'd be 6'6 swatting down 1 shot every other game from someone who's like 6'1.

Offensively he destroyed guards, because lets face it, he was way better than guards playing defense at the time too. The reality is if he played in today's league they'd turn his ankles into dust. Jalen Green or Darius Garland would have him throwing tantrums and referees apologizing they didnt call fouls when he falls over from the change of speed.
 
It’s unhealthy to dwell on the past and just be bitter about how things are now because you miss being young. I’m excited about the future of basketball and all the new insanely talented players that will take the league by storm. I hope my current generation doesn’t repeat the old ways and just hate on the future generation just because they miss being young. Not saying it’s bad to reminisce, but you shouldn’t constantly hate on the younger generation because you miss being young.
You will…….at some point. It’s just a matter of time. Sooner or later some generation will come along and finally break your ability to handle their “dumb”.

And the funny part is that it’s cyclical. I’m Gen X, and laugh more and more as Millenials, who used to talk shit about us, now are sounding more and more like us, as they rail on Gens Z and Alpha for their dumb shit. Yet, will still maintain they are not like us, lol.

Probably. I’m just saying more so in terms of basketball. I don’t agree with calling Jordan’s era a bunch of “plumbers” and I also don’t agree with older fans just hating on todays era of players and how they can’t hang back then. It gets tiring after a while seeing the debate over and over, and it’s not even an honest discourse.

That’s a two way street homie. LeSexuals are just as insecure with their zeal to protect their King.

You’re right, it is tiring, because at the end of the day, it’s just a matter of opinion. The NBA players themselves could proclaim who is the GOAT and it will be immediately disputed by folks who never logged an NBA minute in their life. Why? Because it would still just be an opinion.

So I’ll sit and wait, because at some point, some newer generation is gonna come along and anoint their new king, and set the LeSexuals off. And all the arguments being made now will repeat, only the sides they are being argued from will switch. And then I will chuckle……

This is massive amounts of cope. Nobody is insecure, we're just talking about a guy who actually plays basketball in a thread about well, the basketball season. LeBron is a top 5 player in the league at age 40, that is unreal. Sorry Jordan wasn't close to that and you feel the need to bash a guy for it.

Just so insecure. This guy's whole world view and persona consist of glazing MJ's dong. Shit was like 40 years ago dawg.

Looking like Uncle Rico, going on about the glory days. "Bet MJ could throw a basketball of them mountains"

Bingo.

There's nothing funnier than seeing them hold hands and accuse others of doing exactly what they do.

Naw. Most LeBron fans know that there will be players that are better in the future than there are in the past. Athletes evolve and improve in each generation. We see it across every sport.

You only see nostalgia bros or jordumbs hold on to the past. It’s the same people who think music and movies were better back then. Kind of a sad existence.

Its Sherdog. I'm sure we can all agree Bill Laimbeer or Draymond Green would destroy Fedor in an actual fight.
