NBA Truths nobody wants to admit

[its....JOHN B]

Shhhhhhh they beat the cavs,pistons,hawks,bucks and jazz they championship contenders cuz they beat some average to below average teams yet they 0-2 vs the C's

To early to say that, But I would trade wade before lebron If they ever even considered that

someone said in this thread the knicks will be the heat in the first round, besides the celtics beating the lakers theres nothing i would love to see more than that happening, and i think it very well could happen too, if something like that happens two years in a row unless wade is that much more disapointing than lebron than i think they trade bron away and get two 1st round picks and 3 good players to go with wade and bosh

 

[Alpha_Ambition]

let's see...

Kobe is so much better than every other player in the league, it's disgusting. If you could name people multiple times kobe would be the top 5 players all by himself.

If steve nash was black, he'd be raymond felton.

Kevin durant isn't anywhere near the top 5 players in the league.

Dwyane wade is better than lebron.

Joe johnson isn't even the best player on his team.

Kobe will be labeled the greatest player of all-time when it's all said and done.

Carmelo anthony is easily top 5 in the league right now.

Kobe could lead the league in scoring every single year if he wanted to.

Chris paul is so much better than every other point guard, it's disgusting.

The nba is rigged.

Kobe and the lakers will win at least 3 more rings before kobe retires.

David stern (aka the nba) is racist.

dead .

If Jordan teamed with a prime Shaq, Jordan woulda been a "sidekick" like Kobe with a better FG%

Durant is being forced as the NBA Golden Boy solely because LeBron teamed with Wade

Rondo is a top 3 PG as of right now

 

[greenwood1921]

OKC Thunder will be to the league in the next 5-8 years what the Spurs were in the early to mid 2000's.

The NBA operates in cycles. There will always be 1 to 3 dominate players. There will always be young players that you THINK are great and promising but will go by the way of Marbury, Penny Hardaway, Jermaine O'neal, etc.

Nothing in the league matters pre-all star break.

Your favorite player is getting old. And your bandwagon azz will jump ship when he retires. Yeah you.

Durant is an elite scorer.
He shows respect and has a great attitude.
He was the lead scorer (22.8 ppg) on the 2010 FIBA World Championship Team USA
He received high praise last season.
He refused to be on a SI cover w/o two of his teammates getting shine.

There is much more to the praise that he gets.

I have no problem with Lebron's personality, but Durant is less showboating and other extra stuff. He just plays ball. Some people like the way he does things so I don't think it's solely b/c of Lebron teaming with Wade.

this era is the most talented the league has ever been.

I understand the part about him being the humble superstar but lets say Lebron stayed with Cleveland....at the rate LeBron was going statwise theres no way Durant could keep up...all he could do is score more than LeBron and even then LeBron would be like .2 points right below Durants average anyway

If u watched Nba TV you would have seen how obvious it was how the MVP talks swayed a lot more on Durants side even before the season started....its almost like it was a given LeBron would have to share the spotlight with Wade....i mean what other justification is there to automatically put Durant over LeBron before the season started?

Kobe was the 2nd best player on his team for his first 3 rings.

Kevin Durant could be the 2nd best player on his team.

Lebron James could be the 2nd best player on his team.

I mean it could be most league parity.

One of my theories is that when you get to a certain age, you have seen all the players since college or early in their careers and know them back and forth, in 1992 I knew the good players but I couldnt respect everyones game, like I can now.

Facts and numbers don't lie. The old school era played in a time where ticky tac fouls were not called, leaders had their own squads and the game was more physical/mental challenging then it is today.

MJ> Kobe

Drexler> Lebron (yes I said it go watch how Clyde went up against the best and pt up numbers)

Barkley> Durant

Bird> Wade

Robinson> Dwight Howard

No the truth about the NBA is that it is about as real as the WWF!

Yeah but they play in a league with the best in the entire world, they play with 7 fters who hit jumpers and drive like guards, the players are faster taller stonger.

Its all relative, if the game changed to more physical the players would adapt, plain and simple. but you cant change overall athleticism.

you must have never played basketball. the shit is damn near impossible to fake. you might be able to rig a few games with referee calls but nothing else. if that were the case the nba would have the clippers and heat balling right about now.

Oh really? Well it's a know fact that well mobster and ex-Colombo crime family member Michael Franzese had two refs on the payroll in the 90's. Not to mention you can basically call a game in the playoffs if you know what refs are working it. As one writer put it, "the basketball is the easiest game to manipulate because of the refs". I bet you still believe that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.
