do you guys watch football? lotta visible mouth guard action in football

lebron literally stuffed his mouthguard into his tights during the finals

also frankly had the cavs not blown game 3 this probably would have been the finals everyone was hoping for

yup its sad

see to me steph is an incredibly unique and fun player, i don't see how anyone can dislike him

when you play a lot of pickup bball with guys <25 yrs old it becomes almost inevitable!

haha tru

Yay to the Dubs! I love all of them, disgusting mouthgaurds and all. KD added the clutch player that they were missing.

thanks Marcos!

Matt Moore, who's been pretty outspoken in his warriors dislike of late, had a good piece last night
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-finals-how-the-warriors-dominance-can-help-forge-a-better-nba/

I know people hate any team that gets good and stays good, comes w the territory. But they play a really fun brand of ball, and they're likable if you can get past them stuntin on your fav team.

they were more fun when curry was the primary guy imo

i've said plenty of times on this board that i didn't really enjoy watching KD in OKC but he was a joy in this series i thought

Yah I was in agreement w okc thunder kd

this team is for sure more fun to watch than the laker superteam i grew up with and all of the lebron teams imo

was the laker team the aforementioned malone/payton "era"?

hmm i guess they only became a 'superteam' when they added malone/payton. prior to that it was just kobe/shaq and good role players, huh. but yes the threepeat lakers team

the second bulls threepeat team is still my ultimate superteam, lots of fun dudes on that squad. i'm sure they were immensely hateable outside Illinois.

I prefer the 1st Bulls 3peat! Younger MJ, Ho Grant, BJ, Pax, Levingston, Scott Williams, Craig Hodges, still felt like an underdog team. Or at least hadn't had the "dynasty" tag slapped on with it's presumption of inevitability.

ya young(er) jordan was the shit too

oh yeah i prefer the first bulls threepeat team myself, i just didn't consider them a superteam in the same way. overcoming the pistons, ostracizing isiah thomas, finishing off the magic/worthy lakers, arguably singlehandedly denying championships to ewing/miller/barkley/malone/stockton/payton, true magnificence.

i was glad that during jordan's retirement the dude who won was Hakeem, he was my favorite NBAer outside of Chicago. I liked Drexler too.

ya hakeem was rad, super fun to watch and an a+ guy too

hmm

In his autobiography, Living the Dream, Olajuwon mentions an intriguing draft trade offered to the Rockets that would have sent Clyde Drexler and the number two pick in the 1984 NBA draft from Portland in exchange for Ralph Sampson.[17] Had the Rockets made the deal, Olajuwon states the Rockets could have selected Michael Jordan with the number two pick to play alongside Olajuwon and Drexler, who had established chemistry playing together during their Phi Slama Jama days in college.

wow

there's an alternate history i wouldn't have minded living in

re: Matt Moore article. Good stuff, and I love the term "gentlemen's sweep!"

Bay Area billionaires out in abundance

the greatness of post-miami lebron has kind of given me greater appreciation for second threepeat era jordan tbh

Final playoff plus-minus leaders:
1. Steph Curry +245
2. Draymond Green +228
3. LeBron James +195
4. Klay T +192
5. Kevin Durant +177

agree re: Hakeem. I should go back and watch those 94, 95 playoffs, I was still in MJ-mourning mode at the time. Such a beautiful player to behold.

the dream is my fav all time (non warrior).

I'm still tickled by Stephs 8 reb/game in the finals. Seeing a smaller dude jump into a group of bigs and snag the ball is like watching a squirrel steal someone's half-eaten sandwich and running up a tree at a picnic.

yah he was beastin

how did he even do that crazy, cavs really needed to dominate the boards to have a chance, and the did not

yea that was ridiculous

steph curry grabbing more boards than tristan thompson, rip cavs

that was great/bizarre to see

im in sf today and there is hella fresh warriors gear getting around

the dream is my fav all time (non warrior).

Oh, man - I LOVE Hakeem. That he came from being a sub-7 foot soccer player to one of the top 5 best two-way centers ever, along with being a great dude, is just the best. His successive ownership of David Robinson and then Shaq in the '95 playoffs is still one of my favorite runs of any player.
