Warning: I’m a Laker fan.
I’m not saying Kobe is the best player in the league, but I do think Kobe is the most argued over player. Some people think he’s the best, others always find some different player to put over Kobe (Arenas, T-Mac, Wade, Lebron, etc). And because of that, I don’t think he needs to be taken down a few notches because there isn’t an established consensus as to where he’s “notched.”
i was talking more about his ego… but fuck it, stroke it up, lakers fans.
omg bill walton is color commentary for the kings? that sucks for the kings fans.
i need the gsw stream… bill walton is killing my brain cells…
WARRIORS. “there’s no stopping the Mississippi missile.” cmon warriors take this shit in ot.
omfg monta got hurt!!!
This changes nothing about his game and therefore doesn’t change my image about him as an athlete
As long as he doesn’t call himself The King, I think his ego is fine.
… that’s why i hate these “hustle” players. always hurting ppl being stupid.
and what sucks is that donte green never even touched the ball and bowled monta over, and it counted as a steal.
shitty teams and their “hustle” = dangerous.
i’m glad the warriors put the screws to the kings. bill walton did nothing but talk shit for 2 hours about how shitty the warriors are. he also said that carmelo isn’t a franchise player, and is at his best when he’s the 4th option on the olympic team. fuck that guy, i lost even more respect for him tonight.
lots of shellack-age going on tonight in the NBA
Melos a top 10, arguably top 5 (top 3 for me), how is he not a franchise player??
And id LOVE to hear what people outside of Philly think of Iggy. I feel like living in Philly, we have a diff view from people who dont get to watch him play every night.
It’s plenty of other players in the league with shitty egos, but kobe gets a bad rap for it.
Lebron is a prime example, you can even say Pierce,Wade, and Paul just to name a few. Shaq takes jabs at players all the time but he covers his up with comedy.
I just don’t get that ego knock when just about every great player in the history of the league has ego problems.
Including the “God of basketball” MJ but he’s labeled the ultimate competitor instead of asshole.
As for Melo Walton’s an idiot, I still don’t see how people can consider Bosh or Rondo in the top 10 but not Melo.
whoa whoa whoa
Melo is TOP THREE FOR YOU?
demanding your top 10 nao.
This gave me a damn heart attack. :sad:
At least he’s day-to-day…we are so close to .500!!
I second this.
Maybe Curry can finally step his game up with Monta injured.
Bill Walton trolling subt-L.
he had a decent game last night. he played 44 minutes. he just needs to stay out of foul trouble and stay on the floor to be effective.
they said monta was seen laughing in the back and they didn’t even bother taking xrays so hopefully he’ll play tonight.
dude, that’s exactly what it felt like. its like that dude that’s talking all sorts of shit about you to other ppl while you’re still in the room, and just loud enough so that you can hear it.
that old piece of shit’s calling would be internet trolling, cept he does such an amazing job of it in real life.
1)kobe
2/3) melo/lbj (i go back and forth)
4)durant
5)wade
dont have a solidified 6-10 atm
Its actually funny Melo has been an allstar only 3 times out of 7 years and I think the first time, he only got in because somebody else got hurt.
Melo is an over-glorified scorer though. He gets 7-8 rebounds, maybe 2-3 assists, no defense… and that’s pretty much what to expect from his whole career. He has a Vince Carter mentality with a more skilled Glenn Robinson playing style.
I think he’s top 10 for the simple fact there’s only three small forwards worth talking about in the NBA right now. Granger is in limbo and Artest is a role playing bum.
Melo was on his way to being MVP in 06 until he punched that Knick in the face imo.
