Looked like Paul Pierce tried to poke Noah in the eye after he'd also just clotheslined Jimmy Butler.    Can't stand Paul Pierce, he just looks like a twat with his shitty little headband. Might jus

The John Terry of basketball.   We're up against the warriors tonight. Will be interesting as they'll make the old boys run a bit more and give our perimeter defence a bit more of a test. Will be in

Nothing I enjoy more than seeing the Lakers suck balls.   The west is loaded. Can't wait for the opener against the Mavs.

Jordan, Bill Russell, Kareem, and Magic are all untouchable, you are right. Beyond that, I think this Golden State team is good enough that he may have 4-5 rings by the end of his career if everything goes right.

 

In that case, he'll rival Duncan, Bird, and Kobe/Lebron for that 5th spot.

 

It was an exaggeration on my part based on his form the last year and a half, and realistically there are so many greats that for many, it is hard to imagine him even cracking the top 15, but I have never seen a player like him. He is unique

As i said i have barely watch a game in a few years. I need to start watching again but the Lakers start times are terrible for UK fans. I have seen ugly for the Lakers before(Van Exel,Eddie Jones and Divac era but this,this is bloody terrible.

Possibly unpopular opinion: Stephen Curry will be viewed as a top 5 player of all time when he retires.

 

He is the most technically gifted basketball player iv'e ever seen as far as shooting and handles are concerned. No one can touch him.

Not unpopular, everyone loves Steph.

Unless you're a massive Kobe fan and want to watch his retirement tour, they definitely aren't worth watching at the moment. Byron Scott is basically marginalizing DeAngelo Russell and Randle to give more shine to Kobe. It's frustrating to watch if you are banking on the Lakers future.

 

It will be interesting what they do after Kobe retires. It's either they go after a marquee free agent like Durant, Demar Derozan etc.. or they tank and stockpile picks.

 

They may be tempted to sign someone big to make up for Kobe's loss. L.A have never not had a big star name for long.

I think they try to go big but will likely be turned down and over pay for tier 2 stars. They really need to tank this year as any pick outdide the top 3 is lost to Philli (i think). It will be s interesting summer and i wonder if Scott is gone. Sidelining the future when you need them next year isn't going to go down well

This win has to put LeBron on the same tier as Jordan.

 

Naw, Lebron is up there with the greats (definitely top 10 all time and he'll probably finish his career top 5) but Jordan is untouchable. 6 rings and never lost a finals series. Lebron is truly unique, though. There has never been a more complete basketball player and his finals performance was as good as any in league history. If Lebron eventually equals Jordan in championships won, then he'll be in the conversation, but they are such different players that they are hard to compare anyways.

It goes like this, imo

 

Jordan/LeBron

...

...

...

Everyone else.

 

LeBron even has a few years left to edge ahead. In terms of sheer greatness, nobody can touch those two.

 

It's hard to really compare era's but Jordan, Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and Bill Russell are still ahead of Lebron at the moment in terms of career achievements and overall greatness. There is every chance that Lebron surpasses Kareem and Magic by the time his career is over, but he'll always be behind Jordan and Russell, imo.
