waiting for the other shoelace to drop: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

he was arguably not the best guy on his team(s)

guys come on he basically invented defense

wilt, kareem, shaq, olajuwon, oden

kareem, shaq, wilt easily

hes not even a top 4 center

u call yrself a celts fan smh

wilt and kareem, thats it

bingo.

and the kareem/russell debate is worth having.

ok cool you guys take russell on your team, ill take shaq, this is shaping up to be a super competitive game

^^^

srsly i know you guys are just taking this on general nba mythology cause theres no other explanation for thinking a guy who averaged 12pts a game (in an era when many more points were scored fwiw) is the best center of all time, if this is the result of any actual thinking about the topic then just shame on you

idk didn't he win like 100 titles when there were 5 teams in the league

it's like the wright flyer vs a 747

even in his era he wasnt the best center

the mt. rushmore thing is all about mythology!

so you put the most mythological players on there how fun *j/o motion*

why no bruno mars at halftime?

disappointing.

vogel will start wade in the second-half, play him -- without a break -- the rest of the game, and scream at him to "push the pace!" during every transition, until wade aggravates his knee injuries. (clandestine pacer strategy).

Jason Ashmawi ‏@Jashmawi -- I would not be mad if Vogel played wade the whole 2nd half #norest

Biso_Fly ‏@Biso_Fly -- If I'm Vogel I'm playing wade the whole second half... "Trying to help you with your cardio bro"

_________________________________

Joe Gralak ‏@Graylack -- Vogel should sabotage the all-star game by playing Wade the entire time and hope Wade's knees fall off

Jake Ray ‏@JRay1132 -- Coach Vogel should play lebron and wade all 48 mins

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS #kisstherings #getyourlipsrested #thiswilltakealongtime #btw11ringsistheamuntofringsuwillkiss

i'm just saying in the spirit of the exercise it is not silly to put bill on there. but the exercise itself is silly.

none of us saw Russell play, I haven't even seen more than a few highlights here and there, the fuck do we know

they should expand the real mt. rushmore, anyway, to account for great modern presidents, like jfk, nixon and w.

it's a lot easier to have a dynasty in a league with a very low number of teams

this guy's hair is bugging me. who is he?

the bill russell thing is as simple as: his teams beat Wilt's a lot, so he must be better than Wilt, and if he's better than Wilt then he must be AMAZING!

Magic, Bird, Jordan is a totally reasonable and defensible top 3 all time btw.

The Halftime Show That Was Longer Than The Half

it is totally rad that chuck interviewed obama though just like as a concept

russell thing is based on he won the championship every year he was alive more than anything

i wish shaq had interviewed obama. he'd have the president shouting "birdman birdman."

melo is gunning for 50 isnt he

the james harden -- anthony davis foot locker commercials are 1,000,000,000,000 times better than the cliff/chris paul state farm commercials.

whoa grody toes wth

Carmelo is leading the East in scoring and they're down 16 and playing no defense. Sounds familiar.

brooks is really leaning on his starters

east should begin trapping every play.

like what all-star game ever has all the starters still in with 3 to go in the 3rd

the allol star game.

he keeps trying to put fisher in and nothing happens

keeps seeing that perkins isn't out that and just figures things are fine

on fire
