Dolfan in NYC Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Brooklyn and Milwaukee kick off the season tonight! Kyrie is still unvaccinated! And tonight, in what's sure to spawn a trillion of the most spicy takes on Twitter and TV and the like: Any order other than Wilt, Russell, James, Jordan, and Bryant is wrong! Enjoy the season!

RIPPA Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Well I mean theoretically - they are just gonna take their previous Top 50 list and just add 25 guys (like 20 guys since the mid-90s and the 5 guys people screamed about the most from when they did the 50 at 50 list) For reference - this was the 50 list. And no - they won't be ranked Spoiler 50 Greatest Players in NBA History Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Nate Archibald Paul Arizin Charles Barkley Rick Barry Elgin Baylor Dave Bing Larry Bird Wilt Chamberlain Bob Cousy Dave Cowens Billy Cunningham Dave DeBusschere Clyde Drexler Julius Erving Patrick Ewing Walt Frazier George Gervin Hal Greer John Havlicek Elvin Hayes Magic Johnson Sam Jones Michael Jordan Jerry Lucas Karl Malone Moses Malone Pete Maravich Kevin McHale George Mikan Earl Monroe Hakeem Olajuwon Shaquille O’Neal Robert Parish Bob Pettit Scottie Pippen Willis Reed Oscar Robertson David Robinson Bill Russell Dolph Schayes Bill Sharman John Stockton Isiah Thomas Nate Thurmond Wes Unseld Bill Walton Jerry West Lenny Wilkens James Worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Dream better be #1 and the best! Can't wait to see the new look Rockets! Hyped for Jalen Green but Sengun may be the Rookie of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Ben Simmons is suspended for the opener. "conduct detrimental to the team" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wizards extend Daniel Gafford for three years (one of those years is the picking up of his option) Total amount is just north of $40 million Guess they gotta spend money on someone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 To expand on the Simmons thing, Doc kicked him out of practice for not really engaging and the suspension came shortly after. Sounds like things are going great: So pretty much everyone except the Sixers managed to see this coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I asked this in a group chat with my friends, and we couldn't think of a #2, so I'll ask it again here... Is Ben Simmons the best worst player in any sport? Seriously, he can do so many valuable things, but he's literally someone you can't have on your team. Why would any team trade for him at this point? Kyrie Irving is at least Kyrie Irving NBA Champion, who made one of the biggest shots of all time. Ben Simmons won't shoot, his teammates believe that he tried to fake COVID to get out of a game 7, and he's a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuntmanCrowley Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 At this point, Andrew Bynum is a more popular 76er than Ben Simmons will ever be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also from the Philadelphia area, so he has that going for him. I know someone who was friends with Bynum in high school, like close enough to be at his draft party, and the fact that those two are friends explains a lot about his personality to me. She's perhaps the single meanest person I've ever met, and if he can be close friends with her the Philly fans/media didn't stand a chance. She was part of a rec league kickball team I was one for a couple summers and she made multiple people cry real life ugly faced tears. She was a pretty good player though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobe definitely doesn't belong nearly that high if it was ranked. He was great, but more like 15-20th best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Next 25 are out. The way they are putting each group of 25 in alphabetical order, but seemingly just a random grouping for each third is very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that house made me think, "wow, that kitchen is really nice"...until I look closer and realize that the kitchen counters are zebra print. It's a whole lot going on in that house that is the epitome of the fact that just because someone has money, it doesn't mean they have taste.

Pete Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This Knicks/Boston game is completely batshit insane awesome. Just went final, Knicks prevailing 138-134 in double OT. The kind of game that could go a long way towards restoring the Garden roar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Caught the end of the Bulls game and was excited to see the team close out. Last year they would have let go of the rope. There's a lot to be excited about. It doesn't feel like one guy carrying the load and everyone else is trying to force their shit in when they could get it. This feels more like a team and everyone is making each other better. If this group isn't the one that turns the corner then I don't know where the hell we go from here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
