i saw enough to see that some of the blurbs are written by the espn beat guys who, tbc, are great as beat writers but are way out of their league doing all time lists

I hate these lists so much. They really need to split them into like pre 1970 or pre 3 pointer or pre nba/aba merger... somewhere in the 70s. The game is just so different. Then they just do stuff like put giannis and brow way up here based on what they could potentially do. Just hate it all I’m sick of player rankings

wow he's the entire top 10, these Laker fans need to be stopped

same... seems weird. someone messed up

My guess is Spalding wasn't seeing much revenue generated as a result of being official game ball. I almost never see Spaldings in the wild; Wilson's are the go-to for all rec league, HS, pickup games.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 13 May 2020 20:15 (four years ago) link
of course, that's their own fault
yah i see them a ton for outdoor use but theyve messed up a ton i think. they priced the nba genuine game ball way out of reach of normal people at like $170. then they got rid of their 2nd best ball and the best bang for your buck ball the TF-1000. then they tried to course correct and brought it back with a legacy edition then tried to come back with the classic edition but it was just never the same. ive still got an unopened original TF-1000 in my closet.

i hate wilson composite balls so much. all of them.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 20:28 (four years ago) link
they say the wilson nba ball is going to be same specs and leather as the spalding so i doubt it will be much different. hopefully cheaper!
they gotta switch off every 37 years it's the rule
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 20:47 (four years ago) link
ya Spottie you're exactly right, that's what I meant by it's their own fault.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 13 May 2020 21:29 (four years ago) link
I splurged and got a game ball few years ago. Fucking thing went flat after being used like 1/2 dozen times.
Oh that’s not good you shoulda been able to get a replacement

i have a wilson composite ball now and i kinda like it its plush

to me they have the opposite effect of what you want. they feel great when you grab it at first or dribble around or shoot a bit.. but as soon as you get sweaty they (depending on the ball) get harder and more slippery. the leather ball is the opposite, feels like a brick when you grab it at first but one game in there's nothing better. and you can use the glass with way more control cos it doesnt grip the glass it's more of a natural bounce off of it.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 22:24 (four years ago) link
obv this is all personal pref but i always wanted to play with the ball the pros played with and it always just felt right to me

game leather ball obvs the best xp cant use dem outdoors tho and as we covered they cost way too much
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 13 May 2020 23:59 (four years ago) link
it funny a lot of people dont like the leather ball i think mostly cause theyre not used to them because they never use them because they cost too much

its true the tf 1000 is nice they age really well

Former PHX HC Earl Watson recently said Jayson Tatum had the best pre-draft workout he’d ever seen for the Suns in 2017. Despite that, Owner Robert Sarver wasn’t interested.Watson claims Sarver preferred Josh Jackson and even said to him “We don’t need another Devin Booker.” 😳 pic.twitter.com/j1MKudCRJD— Hilltop Hoops (@HilltopNBA) May 13, 2020

lil sub plot to this if you game it out theres gotta be someone else ainge was just as happy to take as tatum otherwise he wldnt have traded down
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:13 (four years ago) link
Just a thought but having two Devin bookers is actually good
― Spottie, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:16 (four years ago) link
also they dont even play the same position! maybe its two different size devin bookers which yeah wld be good
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:17 (four years ago) link
Better than 1 Devin Booker + 1 g leaguer I think
― Spottie, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:40 (four years ago) link
im no nba owner but id have to agree with that
― lag∞n, Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:41 (four years ago) link
is devin booker good tho

probably not

It’s always hard to judge guys who are as bad at defense as Booker is. Did he get a little better this year?
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:14 (four years ago) link
defensively? not rly. tho his offense might be elite enough to make up for it.
― methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:16 (four years ago) link
i mean i shd say his defensive stats have improved but they're still negative
Yeah in 18-19 he was literally bottom five in defense which is hard to fade
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 14 May 2020 15:35 (four years ago) link
he's still young, but he's been in league for 5 years and the suns are still bad, so idk how to measure him. feels like he'd need to be on a balanced team with excellent D around him for to have the freedom to blowtorch on offense.
― methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Thursday, 14 May 2020 15:57 (four years ago) link
This is exactly what I tell ppl when they bitch about the leather ball. And they ALL bitch. Except for Mr SemiPro, Cam, who cannot stand the soft Wilsons.

my thoughts too. Booker is 2 guard Melo 2.0.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 14 May 2020 16:12 (four years ago) link
basically he needs to be the young upstart on a team of vets basically he needs to go to the spurs in 2016
