Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

https://vine.co/v/OYO97tMZrOO

Wow I've never seen anybody die on live TV before

very excited about nerlens

also what kind of person would hit matt bonner in the nuts

Steve Nash is retiring.

All time FT% leader, third all time in assists, two MVPs (and one second place).

gotta figure he ends up in the hof

Absolutely

One of my top 3 players for watching all time. Pretty much singlehandedly got me back into the nba about ten years ago.

yeah nash owned so hard

he was on something like 7 of the top 10 offensive effcientcy teams ever spanning two different franchises and rosters

nash is a no-brainer HOFer, rip big man you were really cool

dude was a sight to behold running an offense. had most impressive pregame warmups out of anyone I've seen in person (along w/KG).

Marcus Smart has to do one crazy thing per season I guess

cheap shotting someone in the nuts is hella lame, like i can deal with taking a cheap shot as long as its not designed to injure, i mean we all get upset, but why the nuts thats just so childish

Joe Johnson by all rights owes Steve Nash abt $80 mil at least

also never forget Nash at the 2003 all star game press

oops, press day thing wearing a "no war for oil" tshirt

Marcus Smart has to do one crazy thing per season I guess
--Matt Armstrong

wasn't the thing he did in college incited by being called a racial epithet? not that the thing last night is comparable, it clearly isn't, smh @ marcus for the latter

IIRC that's what Smart claimed but no one else heard it.

I'm pretty comfortable saying Nash is one of the 3 greatest PGs ever alongside Stockton and Magic.

Oscar?

cp3

Hate to say it but isaiah probably up there

shved?

dragic

xxp isiah totally is despite his execrable status as a human being, isaiah meanwhile is on is way obvs

*his

how does westbrook even play the same position as these guys

its crazy how quickly the position changed to where westbrooks game is standard

Hate to say it but isaiah probably up there

overrated

CP3 is way up there, yeah...

Oscar is a combo guard and also a dinosaur.

ya tend to agree a least a lil

seems to me that Isaiah's post-career tragicomedy has if anything led ppl to underrate his playing days, but I'm just slightly too young to really remember the guy well. all the footage I've seen makes prime look like genius stuff though, barring some famously dumb mistakes against Boston in the playoffs.

Moving the goalposts

zeke was fucking amazing and his third quarter in game six of the 88 finals is maybe the most amazing thing i've seen in an nba finals

Zeke was Iverson with better GMs and less longevity

way way way more of a pure pg than iverson, more of a pure pg than magic even

..... how in the world was he more of a pure PG than Magic?

eh it's close but magic was almost a sg his first few seasons and the last few post-kareem he had to assume more of the scoring burden. magic's my greatest pg of all time but he could play anywhere whereas zeke only made sense as a pg.

NBA
Rank Player APG
1. Magic Johnson* 11.19
2. John Stockton* 10.51
3. Chris Paul 9.92
4. Oscar Robertson* 9.51
5. Isiah Thomas* 9.26

welp guess we covered the top 5

not quit blolz worthy but wanted to share regardless

just watched paul_george_breaks_leg.avi for the first time ffffffffffffffffffffff

still haven't and won't

it was at the start of a pg tribute vid and i wasnt expecting it. do not recommend.

I'm not even sure where Nash would rank on the all time point guard list but he's a lock for the hall (no two time MVP is not going in, plus he's an 8 or so time all star) and probably the greatest shooter at the position ever. Retires with the top ft shooting % in history!

4 50/40/90 % seasons!

Insane

prob all while leading the league in assists too

hawks-spurs!!

lol lebron just threw a cross-court pass into the 4th row

every arena should have the hawks organist
