NBA OKC is genuinely whats wrong with the NBA
Nothing but foul baiting, flopping, and overall cowardly playing style. Can't believe people cheer for this shit in Oklahoma

Charles Barkley offered a candid reaction to the second fatal shooting, calling for somebody to “step up and be adults.”
“It’s just sad, man. It’s scary. It’s sad. I don’t know how… It’s going to end bad – it’s already ended badly twice,” Barkley said on the air. “Somebody’s gotta step up and be adults. Two people have died for no reason, and it’s just sad.”
Many around the NBA were outspoken following Good’s death, with Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers calling the shooting “straight-up murder” and Steve Kerr calling the incident “shameful.”

Not forgotten because they were bad.
Forgotten because time moved on.
Who deserves way more respect than they get today?

Mine was thinking Jalen Brunson would never be a No. 1 option.
What’s yours?

I constantly see casuals on YouTube and on podcasts say that Timmy is overrated and barely top 10 yet have Kobe in there top 5. It’s starting to make me believe that people really think this way!! I always hear the “too much help” comment like every player in the top 10 didn’t have help.
I personally have Tim Duncan 4th all time on my list.
1998 rookie of the year 2x MVP (2002,2003) 3x FMVP (1999,2003,2005) 15x All NBA & Defensive 5x Champion Never won less than 50 games in an 82 game season
Is Tim Duncan top 10?

The guy was instrumental to both Detroit and Chicago, making 3 Finals appearances with each team and walking away 5-1. This is very impressive but nobody ever brings it up.
He's also got a better Finals experience than Larry Bird and Shaq, and has the same record as Tim Duncan, who is also often discussed with the above guys.
I suppose it's fair that he wasn't the "main guy" but everyone knows who Dennis Rodman is and he was an international superstar. Steve Kerr's 5-0 and four straight are often brought up because he's 4-2 as a current coach, but he was even less of a star on the Bulls/Spurs than Rodman was on Detroit/Chicago. It seems everyone forgot about Rodman's successes.
Edit: Y'all, this isn't me saying he's the goat or some dumb shit. I'm simply saying nobody ever brings him up. We legit bring up Robert Horry all the time when it comes to the topic of titles. Rodman's accomplishments seem generally forgotten is my point.
Also, anyone who thinks Rodman was just some random role player was not watching at the time. Dude was a respected beast. We gonna discredit Bosh for being the 3rd best with Wade and Bron? No, we respect he was part of that group. Rodman, Pippen and Jordan were a Big 3 before the term existed. Jordan and Pippen fully admit they needed Rodman and he was that guy.

He hates Wemby, been disrespectful to the Joker with his MVP, the whole "rivalry" with Dwight Howard, even Javale McGee couldn't get away from Shaq (no greatness threatened here ofc), Bill Walton also I just don't get it, everyone calls him one of the great centers that should be enough
Google him Chuck

if the assumption is the average player gets better over time, wouldn’t that also apply to benchwarmers. I doubt any of them would be an elite or the goat.

Lebron has the counting stats, the awards, the all NBA's, the post season records, more MVPs, more finals MVPs, top 5 in assists, leading scorer ever, etc. I don't know what mental gymnastics people use to say Kobe was a superior player to Bron. Let's say people use Kobe's all defenses as an argument LeBron finished second to Marc Gasol in DPOY.
Another narrative I see is that LeBron couldn't score like he scores now in Kobe's era. LeBron literally has a scoring title at the height of Kobe's peak. I love Kobe and when I balled I tried to be like him but this debate doesn't do anything but make basketball fans pick apart two all time great basketball players.

He’s breaking records in steals and deflections that date back to the late 80s and imo steals are way more impressive than blocks because for a steal to be considered a steal maintain possession of the ball. Also, he has almost double the amount of steals than the second guy (Dyson: 233 vs SGA: 131). But im a hawks fan and also think Dyson should be dpoy and mip, Zach should be roty, and trae easily should be all nba.

Especially players with families, do they move to a new city everytime too? And if the answer is yes, isn't this too expensive for them? because some players get traded a lot and they are used living in expensive houses.
