I cannot believe the nonsense I am reading.

The new Karl Malone. KARL MALONE?

One of the best spot up midrange shooters in NBA history and yall got him in the same sentence as Ben Simmons?

Coli never fails man.

I gotta log out for the next few days cuz yall dropping my IQ level



I SWEAR THIS SITE
IS FULL OF DUMB MUTHAfukkAS.

IM TALKING ABOUT
THE SCREEN AND ROLL
WHICH THE MAJORITY
OF HIS POINTS CAME FROM.

SOME OF YOU nikkaS
ARE SO SIMPLE MINDED.


I LITERALLY LAID OUT
THE PLAY IN MY POST.

ROLLING TO THE BASKET
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
A JUMP SHOT.

1. THATS CALL A PICK & POP
NOT A PICK AND ROLL.


PICK & ROLL IS
SETTING THE SCREEN
AND DIVING TO THE BASKET...

MY POST WAS CLEAR
AS DAY AND YOU THE
OTHER DUDE EXPOSED
YOUR LACK OF SIMPLE BBALL KNOWLEDGE.

2. KARL MALONE TOOK
THE MAJORITY OF HIS
JUMP SHOTS IN FACE UP ISOS
NOT PICK AND POPS.
:devil:
:evil:

nyggas saying Embiid and Harden the best duo in bball now? lol

I just saw Middleton and Giannis punish nyggas in the playoffs. fuhk all that "ON PAPER" bullshyt

Harden has folded in the moment repeatedly. Embiid too, but not like Harden Embiid gets a pass due to Ben
Can’t argue with any a this

I fully expect Embiid to get hurt and Harden again will be out there by himself

Bucks in 6

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the surrounding context of this trade. Philly are the ones that needed to give up pieces of worth to get Harden - not the other way around.

No i absolutely get that, but the nets were under pressure as well? You don't think so? Philly knew Ben wasn't going to play and could have waited to the summer and signed harden outright and moved Ben elsewhere.

Harden was going to sabotage the nets season and this would have been another failure for the big 3 in Brooklyn.

as a sixers fan I just renewed my NBA subscription to watch their games...i love this trade. We got rid of Ben...we kept Thybulle and Maxey, and we got Harden

Im not crazy about the draft picks but hey....they weren't going to be in the running for any top lottery picks anyway...and I'm not crazy about Drummond leaving....but it is worth it imo....once Harden is back to himself, I think we're top 3 in the east easy
