    How about Dario Saric tho :allears::allears::allears::allears: I heard that Dario really dislikes Hezonja but im not sure if its true.

    I saw this tweet which might imply that Magic have offered to trade Hezonja for Okafor. Couldve been on the same team



    EDIT: nevermind, just responded to a fan

    Lol nah fam, that's all rumors. They are good friends, they had an incredible Olympic tournament as a team last year cause chemistry was strong af. Saric is an incredible guy and player. This dude does literally everything you can imagine on the court. He will be an All Star.

    03 Duncan Finals run was one of the biggest carries to a championship ever. Funny that this debate started up tonight though, was just discussing this with some friends last night.

    You can't really say who's the better player. It's so d--- close. Depends on who you ask. As someone who's unbiased, if I had to pick one it'd be Duncan. The longevity and consistency of his career was insane. (Although Kobe probably had a higher height) Dude won a title in 3 different decades. He's a Ray Allen miracle 3 and some missed Manu/Kawhi FT's from being a 6-Time champion

    Our coaches are really pathetic. We're obviously a rebuilding team yet they're not playing the youngsters or giving them much continuity at all it's frustrating.

    I really do hope we trade Mario and let him flourish somewhere else coz we certainly aren't giving him any opportunity at all. :emoji_slight_frown:
    I was trying to cushion the fall. I know Ross is s---. :emoji_slight_frown:

    Magic could have done it too, probably Nash and Stockton as well.

    Think a lot of this generation just doesn't give a s--- about the past legends, which is fine I guess.. but just annoying when people act like Bron's making plays no ones ever made before lol.

    Overall though Bron is like no one we've ever seen before though, I agree with that.

    Bird might've been the least athletic, best basketball player ever.

    Dude was so ridiculous with it.

    I'm not trying to be a d-ck but what have you seen from watching him play that you can confidently say that? I don't know the exact numbers but I'm positive Kobe and MJ took wayyyy more 3s than Lebron has or will on a per game/season basis.

    Bron is unique for his combo of speed/size but there's nothing he does physically that MJ couldn't. He's definitely a better athlete than Kobe but Kobe offsets that with skill/finesse that Bron doesn't have.

    The man is the best player of our generation and a lock for the top 10 of all time, but you can miss me with the better than Jordan talk. Nothing wrong about not being better than His Airness.

    What do you think I was responding to?

    Larry Bird's passes were straight ridiculous. Insinuating he's the only player that can do that is moronic. Players were making ridiculous passes 30 years ago.

    Watched a video of him today, apparently he told the press he was gonna play left handed and ended up scoring like 40+ or something.

    Also about Kobe/Duncan, Kobe gets the edge for me because he didnt need to take pay cuts to bring more talent in for his championship runs. He was top dog everytime, save for being the 1b to Shaq for their 1st ring. The last 2 of that 3 peat Kobe was on his level imo.

    lol yeah I think he told Bill Walton that lol.

    Larry Bird is the one athlete that I don't understand how he was as great as he was.

    I honestly think he was the best pure basketball player in history. I think MJ, Kobe and Magic were overall better, but Larry's intelligence of the game was unmatched.

    Larry doesn't seem to get his due these days. Dude was probably a worse athlete than you or me and was an absolute killer.

    Idk everything Bron does these days gets so blown out of proportion, media is dying to annoint somebody to MJ status but it's so forced. Bron has too many hoe tendencies to really sit at the GOAT table. If I need to win a playoff series, I'd pick Magic over him tbh.
