2016/17 NBA Regular Season Thread

The worst player in the league today would be a hall of famer in the 60s.
 
Like, Deandre Liggins would be talked about as one of the greatest players of all time if he played in the 60s.

I don't know if I'd go THAT far

Athletes are just a different breed these days.
 
You probably didn't even have to actually be good at basketball back then.  Give any above average athlete today a decent dribble, and they probably average 40+  a game.

There's a shitload of sarcasm there, but I guarantee there's at least a little truth to that.

As much as I love him, Anthony Davis is the most fragile motherfucker I've ever seen. They should allow him to play in football pads.

He said cp3 second PG ever.... even over isiah Thomas lmfao im done with this guy

 

[Paulius]

He picked cp3 over guys lime gary payton , jason kidd etc SMFH

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Chris Paul is better than Gary Payton haha. The other two are close. He's biased towards Chris because he saw him in person one time though

 

[Pugz]

payton is overrated

 

[Mexi]

I'd literally post up every matchup for the black team, except maybe Lebron on Bird (probably would though)

If you think Bob Pettit could stop Kareem... bruh
Or ffs if you could get Magic 1v1 against Stockton...

Typical mexi post

i know
That's the thing i couldn't think of another white center id trust
And honestly i have no real idea if pettit was a great defender

youre the only one who seems to have an issue with it
Anti-recency bias

cheesecake factory

Surprised me

Are u kidding me?? Isiah fucking thomas was an absolute monster. His prime >> cp3s. Give me a cold stone warrior who wins 2 rings and averages 19/10 vs a dude who cant take his team to a conference final with such rosters.

If u seriously think cp3 is the second best pg of all time ahead of isiah thomas , youve seriously gotta recheck yourslef and how u rank these guys.

"Omg cp3 assists to turover ratio is amazing!!! Hes the perfect player"

Get past the second fucking round before getting put above LEGENDS like ISIAH THOMAS , stockton , jason kidd , gary. U can argue jason kidd , stockton, gary but isiah??? GtFO

 

[Paulius]

Isiah Thomas is the second best PG of all time right after Magic.

 

[Paulius]

Cp3 is a very similar version of isiah first of all. Both are pitbulls , but the difference is that isiah isnt a choker, isiah has 2 rings, and hes a warrior. Cp3 is a little flopper just like the rest of this solf ass nba nowadays

Smfh comparing cp3 to a damn legend and putting him ahead

Im heated

 

[Paulius]

U brought up the perfect player convo last night

Out the two, isiah was even more perfect. Cp3 has flaws in his game and especially his mental gamr

 

[Mexi]

Tldr

 

[Paulius]

Basically said youre a dumbass if u think cp3 is the second best PG of all time

Isiah Thomas couldn't hit threes, which I don't really fault him for since it wasn't as much a part of the game as it is today. (Just like MJ. if those players played today they'd practice threes more) but he's not perfect by any means

 

[Mexi]

Basically said youre a dumbass if u think cp3 is the second best PG of all time

its either Chris or Stockton

 

[Mexi]

To say Chris Paul has mental flaws is just strange
